SLIPSIL Test
SLIPSIL plugs: tested in extreme tolerances
 It is obvious that one pressure test in a laboratory under controlled conditions will not be sufficient to claim a tightness for a complete range with varying tolerances.
For each series, three pressure tests at nominal dimensions are required to determine the pressure ratings for plugs with smallest, medium and largest inlet. These plugs also have to be subjected to three pressure tests with the minimum pipe diameter and the widest conduit opening to determine tightness in extreme tolerances. Then the procedure has to be repeated with the smallest conduit size and the largest pipe diameter to determine ease of installation. Finally the largest pipe diameter has to be tested in the widest conduit opening to determine tightness in another extreme condition.
Conclusion: a total of twelve pressure tests for each series to determine the operational tolerances and ease of installation.
SLIPSIL has been tested under the worst conditions
The numerous fire tests we have carried out with NOFIRNO rubber plugs have shown that the rubber is able to withstand fire and thermal loads without showing any dramatic colour change or carbonization at the unexposed side.
At the exposed side the rubber will NOT be consumed by the fire due to the protective layer and char formed.
This means that the plug stays in place.
Slipsil sealing plugs have gone through three pressure tests at nominal dimensions to determine the pressure ratings for plugs with smallest, medium and largest inlets.
The plugs also have been subjected to three pressure tests with the minimum pipe diameter and the widest conduit opening to determine tightness and extreme tolerances.
This procedure has to be repeated with the smallest conduit opening and the largest pipe diameter to determine ease of installation.
Finally, the largest pipe diameter has to be tested in the widest conduit opening to determine tightness in another extreme condition.
This creates a total of twelve pressure tests for each series to determine the operational tolerances and ease of installation.
