XTRME FIX is the modern metal-to-metal press connection for industrial applica-tions

XTRME FIX, the modern metal-to-metal connection technology, is a real alternative to welding which is often dangerous and elaborate. No special training is required for the installer. No qualification for welding is required. The training is carried out by KE KELIT staff.

XTRME FIX is the problem solver when quick connections or repairs are required in existing or new systems, in areas where little space is available, during bad weather, or when the medium remains in the system. A perfect connection can be made in a few seconds.

A force of up to 50 tonnes is exerted to permanently press the metal-to-metal connection without any gaskets.XTRME FIX press tools guarantee that every press connection is of the same quality

Advantages

Safe and clean connection compared to welding

Press connection comple-ted in a few seconds

Metal-to-metal connection

Withstands high pressure and temperature

Work possible in any weather

Connection can be made without complete draining of the medium from the system

No special training required

Permanent connection, pressed with a force of 50 tonnes

Temperature range: -55°C to 400°C

Temperature range

Pipes which can be used: XTRME FIX can be used for thick wall carbon steel pipes conforming to EN253, EN10255 annealed stainless steel pipes conforming to EN10216-5, EN10217-7 and primed carbon steel pipes (see table)

Seamless welded and cold drawn pipes are per-mitted.

The pipe surface must be clean and free of any grooves and scratches (any scratches greater than 0.1mm are not allowed)

Rolling skin, scale and rust must be removed.

Hot rolled pipes or pipes with a scaly surface are not allowed.

Measure the pipe size and the wall thickness and check whether they are within the tolerances.

Cut the pipe at a right angle. If the pipes have been pre-insula-ted remove the insulation.

Chamfer the inside and outside of the pipe. Use a sanding belt to remove loose flakes of rust, scratches and dirt. Do not use an angle grinder.

Use the marking gauge to mark the pipe at the appropriate pla-ces. If necessary, mark the end of the un-pressed fitting so that a visual check of the joint can be made after pressing.

Insert the pipe into the full depth of the fitting.

Place the press tool on the fitting. Check that the pull ring in the tool fits to the nut of the fitting. Close the tool until it is locked into position.

The pressing procedure is started by pressing the button on the hydraulic unit. It stops automatically.

A perfect connection is achieved in a few seconds. A visual check of the connection is sufficient. The press ring should be aligned with the shoulder of the fitting and the marking should be visible.
