Angular deflecti<strong>on</strong><br />

DN 00 - DN 1000 BLS ® joints<br />

Once the joint has been made, pipes <strong>of</strong> the nominal dimensi<strong>on</strong>s can be deflected to the<br />

following angles:<br />

DN 00 – 2,0°<br />

DN 700 – 1, °<br />

DN 800 – 1, °<br />

DN 900 – 1, °<br />

DN 1000 – 1, °<br />

For a pipe metres in length, an angular deflecti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> 1° gives a movement <strong>of</strong>f the axis<br />

<strong>of</strong> the pipe fitted previously <strong>of</strong> about ten centimetres, i.e. a deflecti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> 3° = 30 centimetres.<br />

Notice <strong>on</strong> installati<strong>on</strong> and laying<br />

It should be borne in mind that, because the locking segments adjust as a functi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> the<br />

internal pressure, stretches <strong>of</strong> up to about eight millimetres per joint may occur.<br />

To allow for the amount by which the pipeline moves outwards when stretched by pressure,<br />

the pipes should be <strong>of</strong>fset inwards at all bends by deflecting the joints inwards to<br />

their maximum permitted angular deflecti<strong>on</strong>. See the diagram below.<br />
