Jacob UK

Published: 1-Feb-2007

Jacob mass produces a range of thin-wall, fully-welded modular steel pipework and ducting components. Normally delivered from stock, 19 standard diameters are available from 60mm to 800mm in a choice of 1mm, 2mm or 3mm thick primed, galvanised or stainless steel.


Each component has a machine-lipped end which, when fitted with a specially designed “U” shaped gasket and Quick-Connect pull-ring, creates a 3-bar over-pressure certified connection. Hence high-pressure tightness can be achieved in a pipe system with the capability of fast installation and fast dismantling when needed.

Air movement characteristics inside a JACOB pipeline are enhanced thanks to smooth-pressed bends that assist airflow with the minimum of resi-tance. A wide range of accessories complement the pipes – inspection pipes, visualisation ducts, product-control and air-control valves are press-formed to high tolerances.

All moving components are available to ATEX-certified standards on request – earthing continuity can be achieved either through using conductive elastomer gaskets or by adding a mechanical bridge over each connection.

These pipe systems are a favourite choice for cleanroom air systems as well as centralised vacuum cleaning due to their tight connections, fast assembly and ability to be easily disassembled for cleaning or maintenance. Popular in food industries, bulk handling and environmental applications, JACOB systems are found in industries as diverse as potato crisps to petrochemicals or sugar to semiconductors.
