The K-Prema Internal Pipe Seal System is a mechanical point repair system designed for the rehabilitation and repair of localised damage within man-entry pipelines.
Manufactured to suit a range of sewage water, oil and air applications, the K-Prema range can be utilised on an array of pipe materials including concrete, steel, cast iron, PE, glassfibre and other materials. Available for pipelines from 500mm to 4000mm, K-Prema is manufactured from a WRAS-approved material and will withstand an internal pressure of 20 bar.
The system consists of an EPDM rubber sleeve and clamping bands made of high grade 304 stainless steel.
K-Prema has a maximum internal pressure rating of 20 bar (290psi) and an external pressure range of between 0.5-1 bar. Additional clamp bands can be installed across the width of the coupling to resist higher external pressures.
The system is easy to use, with a simple installation process, the tools required are a special hydraulic ram and hand pump (These can be purchased or hired from S1E. Call 01226 397015 or email contact@s1e.co.uk.)
The K-Prema system also includes a range of liner end seals which can be easily removed in case of improper installation, damage or failure and provides protection to the edge of the liner.
K-Prema is an efficient method of sealing pipes that are damaged due to corrosion, displaced joints, tree roots and ground movement.
Ensure any Confined Space legislation or regulations are complied with.
Note:The area around the pipe joint needs to be clean and free of any dirt and loose debris and all the voids should be filled. With concrete pipes, surface preparation would be advisable. After install, return and re-check seal 24 hours after installation and re-expand if required due to relaxation of the rubber.
