CPI Prodysol - Monolithic Cathodic Gasket

On the other hand, when connected between two pipes (for example, a copper pipe and a grounding system, or in contact with reinforced concrete, which are cathodic relative to steel), they serve to prevent these galvanic couples. Their use is especially indicated when aiming to achieve maximum safety in terms of leaks and dielectric strength, as they can be buried more securely than insulating flange gaskets.

Unlike Dielectric Kits, CPI-CATJOINT monolithic cathodic protection insulating joints do not rely on the assembly of gaskets, sleeves, and washers on a flange at the installation site. Because CPI-CATJOINTs are welded as a single piece, field problems are virtually nonexistent, and the insulation integrity remains intact.

When designing these Monoblock or Insulation Joints, the fluid that will flow through the pipe (gas, liquid fuels, drinking water, etc.) must be taken into account, along with the pressure, the diameter of the pipe, the temperature (if not normal ambient), and the thickness of the pipe. Since they are completely airtight, they are especially suitable for use in explosive atmospheres due to their increased safety.
