1. Core Sizing Parameters

Internal clamp flexible connectors provide tool-free, 30-second installation for vibrating sifters and bulk transfer lines. To specify the correct weld-on joint, engineers must verify three dimensions:

• D (Outer Diameter): Must match or adapt to the existing site piping.
• d (Inner Diameter): Determines the flow rate. (Standard wall thickness is 2mm).
• h (Height): Available in 50mm (Standard) and 90mm (Extended for high-heat welding zones).

2. Standard Dimension Tables

Series A: 50mm Height Standard Joints

Ideal for compact spaces and standard vibrating sifter inlets/outlets.

Series B: 90mm Height Extended Joints

Required when a larger heat-affected zone (HAZ) buffer is needed during welding, or for specific flange clearances.

Note: SOSHH supports custom CNC machining for non-standard pipe outer diameters between 150mm and 800mm.

3. Installation Protocol

For zero-leakage powder transfer, follow this standard assembly procedure:

1. Measure: Verify the OD of the on-site pipe with calipers. Select the corresponding joint.
2. Align & Tack: Position the straight end of the steel joint against the pipe. Ensure concentricity. Tack weld.
3. Full Penetration Weld: Complete a continuous weld. Grind smooth to eliminate porosity and prevent cross-contamination.
4. Snap-in Assembly: Pinch the built-in gasket of the TPU flexible connector and insert it into the steel joint's groove. Release to lock in place. (Assembly time: <30 seconds).

4. Procurement & Material Notes

• Material Compatibility: We recommend pairing these steel joints with SOSHH TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) connectors. TPU offers superior abrasion resistance for powder handling and is fully FDA-compliant.
• Lead Times & Customization: Standard sizes are kept in stock for rapid dispatch. Custom OD requirements can be machined upon request.
