Fabric Compensators

Our FiProTex® single pipe penetration is a fireproof sealing system. Specially developed by our design team to allow (exhaust) pipe constructions to pass decks without transmitting vibration, noise or heat to the surrounding ship-structure.

In this unique product only the best quality fabrics and insulation materials are combined. This guarantees maximum safety and performance. The FiProTex® single pipe penetration seals are suitable for A0, A15, A30 and A60 Decks.

The FiProTex® single pipe penetration seals provide:
– Compensation of thermal and/ or mechanical movement in axial, lateral or angular direction
– Isolation of vibration and heat as well as pipe work borne sound transmission
– Low reaction force due to movements
– Separation of compartments
– Compensation of pipework misalignment
– LRoS type approval

The design consists of a cuff, which is mounted to the deck on one side, either with a flange or a sleeve-on construction. The counter side is mounted in a similar way to the pipe construction that passes the deck. Depending on the construction method preferred, the FiProTex® single pipe penetration seals can be supplied in both a splitted and a non-splitted version.

The FiProTex® single pipe penetration seals are manufactured of a special glass fibre cloth with aluminium coating. Depending on the insulation arrangement requirement, a layer of mineral wool will be inserted.
