SOLAS – Fire safety requirements
Special connections
The aforementioned types of union are spray-proof in case of leakage even without covers and have been
confirmed as being SOLAS-compliant by GL and DNV.
Plug-in pipe union
The sleeve (3) covers the joint to prevent lateral spray.
Only leak-off along the line is possible, the pressure is decreases significantly if an O-ring (2) defect occurs.
The connection is confirmed as compliant with SOLAS by DNV and GL.
Plugs and sensors
Screw-in plugs (4) are sealed toward the outside either with a copper sealing ring (1), according to DIN, or an
O-ring (ISO).
In case of a loose thread or a faulty sealing ring (1), the liquid first has to pass the thread.
The pressure is so greatly reduced by this and the faulty sealing ring (1) that any leakage is not under pres-
sure.
