Filling-pressure monitoring system (during installation)

p-AK-MSBE Filling-pressure monitoring system with automatic regulation of
the filling pressure and power of p-joint-sealing cushions/V (valve) during installation.

Filling-pressure monitoring system with automatic regulation of the filling pressure and
power of p-joint-sealing cushions (valve) during installation (ceiling or wall mounting)

  • For simple visual control during inspection and maintenance
     
  • For controlling the target pressurefilling of 150 mbar to 300 mbar from below

General

The sealing efficiency and service lifetime of p-joint-sealing systems are directly related
to filling pressure, (which is temperature-dependent) and lateral movement along the x-axis.


It is therefore important to:

  • adhere strictly to the installation specification, VO 60.02 Pressure-filling of Sealing Cushions with a Valve for Expansion and Movement Joints, and to provide proof of tightness.
     
  • reach the permissible pressure filling for reusable p-seals for movement joints (type L: 300 – 350 mbar and type S: 150 – 200 mbar (20°C +10°C)) during installation. This can be achieved by using, for example, the filling-pressure monitoring system Art. No. 86.01 p-AK-MSMO.
     
  • set up the filling-pressure monitoring system Art. No. 86.01 p-AK-MSMO for permanent regulation of filling pressure and power after installation (since pressure fluctuates as a consequence of movement along the X-axis in summer and winter, amongst other factors). Ceiling or wall Installation is recommended.
     
  • carry out a visual inspection of the filling pressure (tightness) of the reusable p-seals for movement joints in the course of routine joint inspections, adjusting the filling-pressure where necessary.

Procedure

Tests to establish the reliability of performance of the monitoring system (in controlling pressure-filling and monitoring) at high and low temperatures.

In the tests, the monitoring system unit and a container with water were placed in a climate chamber, to simulate actual operational conditions, in accordance with IEC 60068-2-14 section Nb (Fig. 1).

In operation, the monitoring unit is attached to the wall or joint edge and is connected to the sealing system by means of a pneumatic line.

The components are only used for the installation of the reusable p-seal and for the verification protocol of "sealing tightness and permissible filling-pressure", and are located outside the climate chamber.
