PSI coated steel casing spacers/isolators are selected when strength and excellent corrosion resistance are your most important concerns.
PSI stainless steel casing spacers/isolators are selected when strength and maximum resistance against corrosion are your most important concerns.
Ranger II® is an all non-metallic casing spacer system designed to ease carrier pipe insertion, reduce inventory costs, make installation quick and easy and last for the life of the piping system.
PSI Model PE Casing spacers/isolators are manufactured from high density (linear), injection molded polyethylene to provide positive insulation, high abrasion resistance and low coefficient of friction.
Model AZ non-metallic casing spacers are designed for use with water and sewer pipes 3.85” to 13.75” in diameter. They are an economical alternative to banded woods skids and stainless steel bands for inserting pipes into casings.
A unique formulation of polymers is used in the manufacture of the Hi-Temp spacers giving them the ability to be used for applications that may reach 266-degrees F. (130° C.).
Custom casing spacers may be manufactured to customer specifications to accommodate several pipes, conduits, cables or any other cylindrical item that needs to be inserted into the casing along with the carrier pipe.
PSI's casing spacers/isolators are used on long distance transmission
pipelines for three purposes. When a pipeline intersects with a railroad
right-of-way, highway, waterway or any other thoroughfare the pipeline usually
passes under or is buried beneath the obstruction. For protection in these
areas, the carrier pipe is placed inside a casing pipe in an effort to “double
contain” the fluid that is passing through the carrier pipe. If a leak or break
were to occur, the fluid would be directed to a safe distance away from beneath
the thoroughfare. In fact, many local Governmental Agencies require this
procedure almost anywhere when volatile or hazardous fluids are flowing through
the carrier pipe.
Secondly, the casing spacer/isolator is used to electrically isolate the carrier
pipe from the casing pipe. In most cases a corrosion mitigation program is in
place to protect the carrier pipe from the detremental effects of the
environment and surrounding soil. Any outside influence of stray electrons can
render the corrosion mitigation completely ineffective. A casing spacer/isolator
ensures that no metal to metal contact is made between the carrier pipe and
casing pipe which ensures the integrity of the corrosion mitigation program.
Thirdly, casing spacers include low coefficient of friction runners on all
surfaces making contact with the casing pipe which facilitates easy insertion of
the carrier pipe into the casing, an especially important feature when making
long pulls/pushes with heavy pipe. PSI's runners have a tensile strength of
17,600psi, a flexural strength of 25,300psi and a compression strength of
18,000psi.
