System K10

Alvenius system K10 is a shouldered system based on the metric standard. This system is designed for pressures up to 25 bar (360 psi).

The key component of the system is the coupling. The K10 system can be assembled using two different types of couplings. The most common one has the designation K10. Coupling K10 has been successfully installed all over the world since 50 years. The other coupling has the designation K70 and has a swing bolt and a special nut. Coupling K70 is widely used where assembly time or flexibility is decisive.

Product facts

• Self-sealing gasket makes the coupling suitable for low pressure as well as for higher pressure and under certain conditions also for vacuum pressure.
• The standard gasket is made from EPDM rubber and is suitable for all substances including many chemical compounds. Working temperatures range from –35 to + 110ºC. A nitrile or silicon gasket is recommended if there is long-term contact with petroleum products.
• The coupling takes hold of the pipe ends so that the connected pipe can withstand considerable axial tensile forces.
• Easy and fast connection, up to 5 times faster than welding. Read more >>
• The assembly can be done with unskilled manpower.
• The pipes can cope with a non-alignment of 1-2,5º.
• The couplings can withstand vibrations without a risk of leakage occurring.
• Pipe stresses are avoided thanks to the axial play in the joints.
