The PeRfeCT PROPeRTY iN ShiPBUiLDiNG<br />

It is generally known that the sea swell can cause significant deformation of the hull and pressure surges in system<br />

pipelines whilst the ship is at sea. This leads to a constant strain on the piping systems. Rigid pipe connections<br />

such as flanges or welded collars transfer strains directly to other components in the form of stress. Compensators<br />

therefore become necessary.<br />

The Original STRAUB pipe coupling combines connection and compensator all in one. The STRAUB design offers<br />

pipe flexibility that dissipates stress and increases the component service life. The coupling’s rubber sealing<br />

gasket efficiently dampens vibrations and noise. Fatigue failures are reduced, system reliability is increased and<br />

passenger comfort is much better. These special properties of STRAUB-GRIP and STRAUB-FLEX couplings represent<br />

a decisive added benefit for ship owners and operators.<br />
