Component Specifications

Definition
A housing or pipe section is the primary structural component of an in-line or static mixer that encloses the mixing elements (such as helical or plate elements) and provides a sealed conduit for fluid flow. It maintains pressure integrity, supports internal elements, and connects to upstream/downstream piping systems. Designed for laminar or turbulent flow regimes, it ensures proper fluid residence time and mixing efficiency without moving parts.
Working Principle
The housing/pipe section directs fluid through stationary mixing elements, creating flow division, radial mixing, and shear through geometric constraints. As fluid passes, the internal elements split and recombine streams, promoting homogenization via controlled turbulence or laminar shear, depending on design and Reynolds number.
Materials
Stainless steel (AISI 304/316), carbon steel, duplex steel, Hastelloy, PTFE-lined steel, or food-grade plastics (e.g., PVDF, PP), selected based on corrosion resistance, pressure rating, and fluid compatibility.
Technical Parameters
  • Length 200-2000 mm
  • Diameter 25-500 mm
  • Surface Finish Ra ≤ 0.8 μm for sanitary applications
  • Pressure Rating Up to 16 bar
  • Temperature Range -20°C to 200°C
Standards
ISO 2852, DIN 11850

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a housing and a pipe section in static mixers?

A housing typically refers to a custom-designed enclosure for mixing elements, often with flanges or connections, while a pipe section is a standardized cylindrical segment integrated into piping systems; both serve similar structural and containment functions.

How do material choices affect housing performance?

Material selection impacts corrosion resistance, pressure capacity, temperature tolerance, and compliance with hygiene standards (e.g., food-grade stainless steel for sanitary applications).

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
