10.6. Connection to other materials
The most appropriate way to connect objects of different materials is the flanged joint, with the mechanical coupler as
an alternative. For installation reference is made to chapter 8, mechanical couplers.
Fig. 10.6.a.
Flange drillings are available according to almost every existing standard. These flanged connections can be made
using our standard program. Also non standard items can be manufactured on request for example saddles for main
lines > 300 mm. The only restriction is that the branch has a diameter within our standard range.
When a flanged R.T.R.P. pipe section is connected to a metal pipe section, this metal part must be anchored so that
no contraction or expansion forces will be transmitted to the R.T.R.P. pipe section.
