Winteb is known worldwide for its flexibility and innovation. Together with our clients we design our "specials" to meet their specific requirements.
This picture shows a WIKO5000-1-AFC DN250 air pipe head. AFC stands for Angle Flexible Coupling. Together with Meyerwerft Papenburg, Germany we have come up with this solution to build more flexibility into the piping system. The air pipe head is connected to the vertical pipe trough a flexible coupling that can stand pressures up to 16 bar. By using this coupling there will be no tension built up, caused by welding for example, in the air pipe head or connecting pipes. The tension will be absorbed by the coupling instead by less flexible pipes, air pipe heads or fixed couplings.
Winteb can supply the air pipe heads with powder coating in any desired color.
It will save you time and money if you have the air pipe heads fitted onboard in the right color. Furthermore the powder coated air pipe heads usually look better than the ones painted after they are fitted on deck.
Powder coating in any color.
