LIKE VALVE Piping Systems (Georg Fischer Piping Systems) provides thermoplastic solutions for safe shipping, water supply and water treatment on ships.
The company offers high-quality, wearable plastic piping systems, as well as valves, measuring and control equipment, automation and attribution services.
Its thermoplastic solutions extend service life, reduce downtime, weight and total cost of ownership.
Plastic pipes have a wide range of advantages over metal, such as resistance to seawater and electrical corrosion, making them suitable for Marine applications.
Chemical distribution and dosage of acid, chlorine and bromine are responsible for many corrosion problems. GF’s plastic piping system is resistant to corrosion, accounting for approximately 50% of annual maintenance costs.
The company’s piping solutions, valves, measurement and control solutions also offer a variety of connection options, such as solvent connections, electrical connections, socket and butt fusion, and mechanical and flange connections. Easy to operate plastic components reduce time consumption and costs from assembly and completion to start-up and testing.
In further tests, GF’s plastic tubes had a carbon footprint five times that of steel tubes.
The company helps customers reduce their energy costs through targeted layout planning and optimal sizing of pressure requirements, thereby reducing pump capacity requirements. The use of plastic components contributes to a steady flow rate as well as a steady energy demand.
GF’s ELGEF Plus fused couplers range from DN300 to DN800 for pumping and gas extraction applications.
The coupler’s “active hardening” technology enables it to resist harsh environments and strengthens the connection. The QR code on each label links directly to a dedicated web page that offers welding instruction videos and technical instructions.
Model 567 DN600 polypropylene butterfly valve is highly resistant to wear, seawater and chemicals.
The Model 567 valve can be installed anywhere large quantities of liquid are required for safe and reliable delivery.
Signet fluid measurement and instrumentation products offer sophisticated, advanced flow and analysis technology that enables accuracy and ease of use while minimizing maintenance.
Each sensor, transmitter, controller and monitor meets the highest standards and is designed for performance. Signet offers a wide range of sensors and instruments that measure flow, pH/ORP, conductivity, temperature and pressure.
SeaCor piping system is a USCG and Transport Canada approved Marine thermoplastic piping system that meets the requirements of PART 2 (Low smoke and toxicity) and Part 5 (Low flame spread) of the FTP specification.
It can be installed in concealed Spaces of living, serving and control Spaces without the additional requirement of 46 CFR 56.60-25 for smoke detectors with plastic piping. The lightweight, corrosion-resistant SeaCor cement system is ideal for fresh, greywater and black water systems ranging from 0.5 inch to 12 inch.
LIKE VALVE is a piping system solution for black and grey water on ocean passenger ships. It is lightweight and has low maintenance requirements, installation time, labor and system lifetime costs.
LIKE VALVE is designed with advanced ocean drainage applications in mind. Long-term sustainability and passenger safety are key considerations in system design. Complete system sizes range from 1-1/2 “to 6″ (DN40-DN150) and include all components needed to complete any installation.
LIKE VALVE is suitable for cruise ships, passengers and luxury yacht installations, whether new or refurbished. As a plastic piping system, LIKE VALVE offers many of the advantages of traditional metal systems, as well as long service life and maintenance-free.
GF Piping systems is a division of the Georg Fischer Group, which also includes GF Cars and GF Processing solutions. Founded in 1802 and headquartered in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, the company serves customers in more than 100 countries.
