Disposable crucible form RTF SHIK

Product Overview

Disposable crucible form RTF SHIK

Thermite welding is the most technologically simple and highly reliable way to attach cathode and drainage terminals to the pipeline wall. The essence of thermite welding is the use of thermal energy of a thermochemical redox reaction, during which the reduced and heated to a high temperature metal melts with the surface of the pipe and with the outlet, forming an integral joint.

The crucible is a disposable RTF form designed for welding steel terminals of the ECZ to steel main gas pipelines under operational pressure, without stopping gas transport.

Selection Notes

Technical Review Points

  • Review power supply, monitoring, test-point, enclosure and hazardous-area requirements.
  • Confirm compatibility with the full cathodic protection system architecture.
  • Final configuration should be checked against site standards and electrical requirements.
