Solugap Water Soluble Socket Weld Spacer Ring

Description

Aquasol Solugap Water Soluble Socket Weld Spacer Ring

The specially engineered, patented design of SoluGap offers an economical, inventive solution to socket welding needs.

Compatible with any metal, SoluGap provides the 1/16ʺ (1.6 mm) minimum gap required by ANSI 31.1, Section III, ASME, US Navy and Military Codes, eliminating the need for pre-measuring and guesswork. SoluGap is also available in 1/8″ (3.2 mm) thickness.

SoluGap features a unique 3-tabbed edge design that allows the spacers to remain secure in any pipe orientation.

SoluGap is U.S. manufactured and comprised of Aquasol’s environmentally safe, water soluble composite board. It dissolves completely and rapidly in most liquids, allowing for easy post-weld clean up.

Available in a variety of sizes ranging from 1/2″ to 2 1/2″ in diameter, SoluGap is easy to install and ready to use, providing the smartest solution to your socket welding needs.

Features and Benefits

Revolutionary Design

• Made of eco-friendly Aquasol^® Water Soluble Composite Board,  SoluGap is compatible with any metal
• Eliminates the need to inventory multiple grades of metal spacers or the time consuming task of scribing, measuring and fitting
• Provides a uniform, precise 1/16″ (1.6 mm) minimum gap required by ANSI 31.1, Section III, ASME, US Navy and Military codes. 1/8″ (3.2 mm) thickness also available.
• Unique 3-point tabs secure placement regardless of pipe orientation
• Hollow center enables viewing during welding
• Unlike metal spacers, will not corrode or break

How SoluGap Works

Position

Position ring by aligning outer edge with inner pipe circumference.

Snap in Place

Slide ring inside pipe so tabbed edges can fit snugly and snap-in-place, maintaining the 1/16″ or larger gap while avoiding compression.

Stay in Place

Once secured inside the pipe, ring will stay in place, even when the socket is sideways or inverted

Weld

1. Tack weld 3 or 4 times maintaining proper interpass temperature, as specified by ASME B31.3 or welding engineer
2. Square up the pipe after the first tack
3. Proceed to weld without exceeding interpass temperature

Dissolve

Introduce hot or cold water to dissolve and remove its entire contents, leaving no residue in the pipe or if preferred, simply leave the spacer in the pipe as no adverse effects will result
