2.1.3. Space required by the packer
Example for the space required by the sleeve in a pipe:
Pipe Center
Packer center
The center line of the packer is approximately 0.5 cm below that of the pipe.
This means the distances above and below the sleeve are slightly different.
Example calculation for space requirements:
Pipe diameter: 300 mm
Diameter of Q.L. rolled up, including rubber gasket: 250 mm (see technical data sheet)
300 mm
– 250 mm = 50 mm above and below in total
Above: 50 mm / 2 = 25 mm + 5 mm (pipe/packer offset) = 30 mm
Below: 50 mm / 2 = 25 mm
– 5 mm (pipe/packer offset) = 20 mm
The packer can pass through sleeves that have already been installed
The sleeves are designed so that once they have been installed, the packer can pass through them with
another rolled-up sleeve, except for
the 6” version.
