FIP corrugated pipe
Fire protection for railroad technology
The Fiplock HPDF corrugated conduit from FIP meets the requirements for cable protection in railroad technology: the polyamide 12 conduit is flexible, UV-resistant and meets the highest fire protection values.
The FIP conduit meets the highest fire protection requirements in railroad technology: "Our corrugated conduit HPDF covers all areas classified with hazard level HL3 and is also resistant to UV radiation and chemical substances. We have therefore launched a cable protection product made of PA12 with a wide range of positive properties," explains René Hofmann, Product Manager Cable Protection Industrial Applications at Fränkische Industrial Pipes (FIP). Fiplock HPDF is self-extinguishing, does not spread fire and only produces a small amount of smoke gas in the event of a fire. With its very good fire behavior, it is classified in fire class V0.
Since 2016, the EN45545 material testing standard has defined uniform fire protection requirements for all materials used in rail vehicles across Europe. Depending on the application environment (operating and design class), the respective hazard level (HL1, HL2 or HL3) is determined. For example, components such as the corrugated tube Fiplock HPDF, which are installed in sleeping cars without the possibility of lateral evacuation, must meet hazard level HL3.
UV-resistant
With the corrugated conduit, FIP provides rail technology with an all-round carefree package, and not just in terms of fire protection. The corrugated conduit made of high-quality, specially formulated PA12 offers a range of product properties for reliable cable protection in rail technology: it is free from halogen and cadmium, has very good chemical resistance, is stable against UV radiation and is suitable for temperatures between minus 50 and plus 110 degrees Celsius.
The flexible pipe also meets high mechanical and dynamic requirements and is therefore suitable for demanding technical applications. as
