Penetration Seals -- Learn About Advantages and Types

Penetration Seals are one of the Fire Stop System that mostly related to cables as well as pipe fire resistance. It is consist of many types and offers diverse benefits which we will discuss ahead. 

Penetration Seals are interlocked rubber links which are designed to offer a leak-proof and insulated seal that fills up the space of pipe penetrations.  These seals fit around piping going through walls, manholes, floors, tanks, vaults, dikes and pipeline casing for providing a gas as well as watertight seal.

Penetrations Seals are constructed from standard material EPDM rubber to suite the most application and have been tested to withstand a hydrostatic seal up to psig or 40 feet of head pressure. If we take a look of Penetrations Seals construction then its Nitrile rubber is available to offer service for solvents, hydrocarbons, oil, gas and jet fuel; however, Silicone included for high temperature applications. Further, Penetration Seals are reusable, economical as well as easily installed. These Penetration Seals available in many sizes to fit nearly every pipe like 1/2" pipe to 98" pipe.

Types of Penetration Seals:

Penetration Seals

Cable Penetration Seals:

These seals are Fire Protection Systems with a fire resistance period of 60 to 120 minutes on the basis of:

            - Mineral wool slabs coated with intumescent coating
            - Mortar seals and cable boxes

Mixed Penetration Seals:

It is Fire Protection Systems with a fire resistance period of 90 minutes on the basis of mineral wool slabs coated with an intumescent coating for cable and pipe conduits.

Pipe Penetration Seals:

Fire protection systems with a fire resistance period of 90 minutes on the basis of Pipe closure devices (collars) and Mineral wool slabs. Pipe Penetration seals are used to allocate tubes or pipes to enlarge thermally. They enter into the shell of a boiler or similar pressure casing without damaging the surrounding shell or pressure casing.

Single Cable Penetration Systems:

It can easily be routed through solid walls and ceilings or light partition walls of a minimum thickness of 80 mm using the MLAR.

Single Pipe Penetration Systems: 

They are non-inflammable (upto 160 mm diam.) and single inflammable (upto 32 mm diam.).

Advantages of Penetration Seals :

    - Personnel are protected and reduced pipe stress.
    - No leaks and Noise reduction.
    - Amplified boiler efficiency
    - No maintenance
