Two holes added to the clamp band change piping inspection - a piping fastening device that significantly improves the efficiency of foam leak tests and gasket inspections.
Even though calls for shorter working hours and work style reforms are loud, the efficiency of maintenance and inspection work, which involves checking each target object on-site, is not progressing well. Depending on the scale of the plant piping, there can be over 100 to 1,000 joints in sanitary piping. After assembling the piping, a leak test using a foaming liquid is conducted at the joints, but due to the confined space among the pipes, this narrow work requires a significant amount of time.
CHECK CLAMP addresses this issue with "two holes." Previously, the work hole was only at the bolt position, but CHECK CLAMP has added two holes on the side. As a result:
(1) The number of work holes has doubled, making the work less affected by the bolt position.
(2) It is easier to drain liquids, reducing the purging operation (removal of leak test solution) by over 30 seconds per location (according to our measurements).
(3) The structure is designed to prevent the accumulation of not only the testing liquid but also moisture such as condensation, making it more hygienic compared to conventional products.
These features significantly enhance the efficiency of leak testing.
