pipe sleeve application in the steel pipe project

Pipe sleeve is generally used in a large steel pipe in practical applications. Usually pipe sleeve has three using: a protective ring that is used to keep a pipe hole open; another ring which is used to fill the gap between pipe and another surface; a covering that creates a barrier between pipe and its surroundings. These sleeves play an important connection function during the construction of building or oil pipeline system. Every non-household pipe system has nearly some kinds of sleeves.

Pipe Sleeve


The first type of pipe sleeve is often used the construction or remodeling of building. The pipe sleeves are rings which are placed into the forms for the concrete wall. When the wall is poured, the form is made a large enough hole to put a pipe. The hole is generally much larger than the pipe diameter, which will go through the pipe and create a gap.

The second type pipe sleeve is usually utilized for the construction of building or the building is finished. This kind of pipe sleeve fills in the gap where the pipe penetrates into walls and creates a barrier between two sides of the wall to prevent the air pass. These pipe sleeves are made from various materials including polyvinyl chloride, sheet metal or firestop materials.

The final sort of pipe sleeve is generally used to put on in the construction, but the purpose is mainly for afterward. The pipe sleeves protect the steel pipe from environment corrosion or vice versa. The most common applications are protective and insulating. Protective pipe sleeve prevents damage from accidental impacts in high traffic areas.
