Pipe penetration fill to withstand the pressure of 3.5 psi

Pipe penetration fill to withstand the pressure of 3.5 psi

Pipe penetration fill to withstand the pressure of 3.5 psi

(OP)
I have pipes/conduits penetrations core drilled in blast/containment wall up to 5" dia. Anybody come across to seal the penetration subjected to 3.5 psi pressure? Temporary or permanent solution. I will appreciate any help.

RE: Pipe penetration fill to withstand the pressure of 3.5 psi

Not knowing all the details, I may recommend one option to explore are linkseal products. They have pressure ratings generally for hydrostatic load but are displayed in psi. I use these quite frequently in industrial settings and contractors seem to like them. I looked quickly and one of their products is good for 20 psig (40 feet of head). This installation would go in a core drilled hole granted the wall rebar has been reviewed for a core drill. Give them a call to see if this option works for you.

I am trying to plug core drilled hole in concrete blat wall subjected to 1900 psi. I want to use this for temp. fix. Anybody has come across plug in concrete wall subjected to 1900 psi. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

RE: Pipe penetration fill to withstand the pressure of 3.5 psi

I am confused.....is the blast pressure 3.5 psi or 1900 psi? I assume its 3.5 psi.

RE: Pipe penetration fill to withstand the pressure of 3.5 psi

This is little different situation. Original requirement of 3.5 psi is changed. Now trying to plug hole (temporary)in blast concrete wall subjected to blast pressure of 1900 psi and temp.unto 400 degree.This plug shall be used as contamination seal also. There is no pipe in hole now. It is 5" dia. core drilled hole in the wall.
Sorry foe confusion.

RE: Pipe penetration fill to withstand the pressure of 3.5 psi

So your concrete wall (and the plug) are designed to resist 273,600 psf?? I think you should re-check your numbers.

RE: Pipe penetration fill to withstand the pressure of 3.5 psi

(OP)
This is blast pressure and it is taken from basis of design.1900 psi

RE: Pipe penetration fill to withstand the pressure of 3.5 psi

Your basis of design says 1900 psi blast pressure? That's not correct to say the least. Designing for anything over a few psi is impossible.
