Jointing methods - Spigot and Socket DKM Joint

Spigot & Socket DKM Joint

Diameters:

80mm – 300mm
Steel Grades: ST37, ST52, API, ASTM A106, X42, X52, X60
Linings: Cement Mortar Lining to DWI 25 (1) (a)
Protection: Blue 3 Layer PE; 3 Layer PP (both 1.8-2.2mm thick); FBE (500µm thick). Sewage pipes would be black in colour.
Uses: Potable Water & Sewage Sludge with (Acronal cement mortar).
Internal Repair: No internal repair needed.
Pressure Rating: 40 Bar. No thrust blocks req.
Realistic Usability: High pressure mains with no thrust blocks. Directional drills. Any potable water or sewage sludge pipeline, especially where aggressive or rocky ground conditions will result in, or has resulted in, corroded, cracked and leaking pipelines.
Joint Type: DKM Push Fit joint.
Fittings: DKM Push Fit fittings.
Aim: No corrosion, no leaks, no minimum longevity of life.
Soil Types: Ideal for all soil types because of complete corrosion protection.
Extras: Cement mortar rock shield for river crossings & rocky ground. Special release tool available for taking the joint apart

Fittings

Fittings to suit are available in all sizes (to BS 534). CAD drawings provided. Tyton fittings available up to 300mm OD. All wall thicknesses are the same as the pipes. All coatings & linings are the same as the pipes.

  • Internal linings for potable water are in accordance with DWI 25 (1) (a) and 31 (4) (a).
  • Internal linings for wastewater are in accordance with DIN 2614

Coatings

It is recommended that pipe joints are protected with Canusa Heat Shrink Sleeves which are available from FT Pipeline Systems. CanusaWrap CPS Sleeves to DIN 30 672 for field joint corrosion protection.
