Brugg Pipesystems

Brugg FSR Safety Pipe was developed and launched to market in 1966, Brugg Pipesystems is a German manufacturer of extremely high quality flexible single and double wall stainless steel pipework.  Safety Pipe is designed to contain flammable, hazardous and ground polluting fluids whilst being continuously monitored during operation.

The BRUGG flexible stainless steel pipe systems are an excellent alternative to rigid pipe; their innovative design offers extreme versatility for installation in a wide variety of setting both inside and outside buildings and above ground in a concrete trench or buried underground.

Compared to rigid plastic or steel pipe, BRUGG can be manufactured in continuous lengths of over 1,000 metres (depending on size and type of construction). This means that installation times are extremely quick and cost savings are made during installation.

Due to its flexible nature, the pipe can be pulled through suitably sized ducts, allowing other work to continue.

FSR and Secon-X types of pipe can be permanently monitored for leakage with a pressure or vacuum leak detector.

Why Engineers choose BRUGG

  • Safe and reliable pipe, manufactured and tested to extremely high standards; EN14125, EN729-2, CE marked and compliant with 97/23/EC European pressure directive for pressure equipment
  • 316L Stainless Steel core pipe construction is certifiably suitable for varied and extensive fields of application
  • Electrically continuous, UV Stable and self-compensating for both pressure and temperature changes
  • Spiral corrugated ‘endless’ construction gives excellent flow characteristics and a self-cleaning flow pattern, with pressure losses that are similar to equivalent NB smooth bore steel pipework.
  • Flexwell pipes have a minimum design life of 30 years.
  • Quicker installation than rigid plastic or steel
  • multiple bends possible in one continuous length – no joints needed
  • Excellent temperature ratings; +60◦C down to -30◦C with high corrosion resistance
