Vantaggi del prodotto
Gelo has a bright, clean and dry internal surface, an essential feature that permits the safeguard of the conditions of the entire plant.
Suitable for refrigeration systems
Main features
SCT offers a complete range of copper tubes for both the plumbing-sanitary and industrial sector. SCT tubes are manufactured with the highest possible levels of quality, in full compliance with the prevailing technical standards and the customers’ specifications. In order to clearly distinguish the technical applications specifically designed for some products, we introduced the Gelo brand, which satisfies the demands of two highly specialised sectors such as refrigeration and air conditioning.
Gelo copper tubes have a high degree of internal cleanliness and are specially designed for the conveyance of industrial and refrigerant gases, as well as vacuum distribution. They can be used in high-pressure systems and have excellent workability features. Special patented processes ensure the internal cleanliness of the pipe, assuring perfect compatibility with the special requirements of the various intended application fields. Gelo is manufactured according to standard EN 12735-1.
Technical features
- Cu DHP (Cu: 99,9% min. P:0,015÷0,040%) according to EN 1412
- Dimensions and tolerances according to EN 12735-1
- Hard temper (R290)
- Unit break load: R. min. ≥290 MPa (N/mm2)
- Elongation percentage: A5 min. > 3% .
Specifiche
Gelo is produced in 5 m straight lengths (hard temper R290) in millimetres and inches versions. In both formats, the ends are sealed to grant the internal cleanliness of each unit piece, which is also marked by a specific numbering that identifies the production lot and ensures its traceability.
The use of the Gelo range requires a careful assessment of the designed application, as well as the prevailing environmental and functional conditions in which the product will be installed. This assessment must be made by a qualified personnel at the project design stage: the correct use and the operational functionality of the finished tubing plant require appropriate installation in full compliance with applicable regulations and expert craftsmanship.
All Gelo production is carried out in accordance with the rules defined by a Quality Management System approved under ISO 9001 and aligned to the European Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU.
ACR applications
With reference to EN 12735-1, Gelo fully meets the requirements in the air conditioning and refrigeration sector (ACR) for refrigerant gas tubing in industry and laboratories. Particularly suitable for large-scale installations, it is in compliance with the technical specifications required by the European legislation on the packaging and transport of refrigerant gasses (R32, R410, R407C, …).
Gelo has bright, clean and dry internal surfaces, an essential feature that permits the safeguard of the conditions of the entire plant. The special production process guarantees less than 0,38 mg/dm² of soluble residues on the inner surface, in full compliance with EN 12735-1. Such levels of cleanliness are assured by the specific production techniques adopted, as well as by the sealing of the ends of each tube by appropriate stoppers on completion of the manufacturing cycle.
