6:21Pressing Ø 76.1–108 mm – single and double pressing
The largest sizes on the ED-60100 press machine (65 kN). When single pressing is enough (drinking water, heating, cooling) and when double pressing with DUO rings is required (fire protection, sprinkler and high-pressure pipework).
3:25How to press TAVINOX PRESS correctly, Ø 35–54 mm
The same sequence on the mid-range sizes — a different deburring tool and the ED-1550 press tool (32 kN) with a higher pressing force. What to watch out for when handling a longer tube.
3:11How to press TAVINOX PRESS correctly, Ø 15–28 mm
Cutting, deburring inside and out, checking the O-ring, marking the insertion depth and pressing. The smaller sizes on the BLM-1930 press tool (19 kN).
Pressing TAVINOX PRESS fittings — step by step
The exact installation sequence for press fittings. Tube preparation, checks and the pressing itself.
AISI 316L vs. 304L — which material for which environment?
A comparison of the two stainless steels. How molybdenum affects resistance to chlorides.
PN 16 operating pressures and sizing from DN 15 to DN 108
Permissible pressures by application and medium temperature, the difference between test and operating pressure, sizing by flow rate and pressure loss.
What do the DVGW, ITC and ISO 9001 certifications mean?
A practical explanation of the certification framework of the TAVINOX PRESS system.
Support spacing and compensation of thermal expansion
Spacing tables for DN 15–108. Calculating thermal expansion.
Corrosion of stainless steel — causes, types and prevention
