Deburring Tool CREFORM TOOLS G-1 SECTION G Creform Pipe should always be cut using a pipe cutter, band saw or chop saw — never use a hand saw to cut pipe as this will frequently result in pipe sections not cut to the required lengths and pipe ends out of square. These conditions can effect the fit and strength of your Creform structures. Please read, understand and follow all safety rules and operating instructions when using any powered equipment or EK-1 and EK-7 manual pipe cutters. ALWAYS WEAR APPROPRIATE EYE PROTECTION.

There are only a few design guidelines to follow, a minimum of weight load factors to consider, and some basic tools for assembly. Even the most complex applications adhere to the same criteria, because Creform structures are modular in nature and all components and accessories are engineered and produced to consistent dimensional quality. The tools. Only a few basic tools are required to create Creform structures. A power or manual pipe cutter should be used for straight-cut ends, a deburring tool, a tape measure and a mallet. Metal joints use hex wrenches for assembly. A squeeze bottle applies adhesive for plastic joints. An open end wrench adjusts stem casters. Some joints and accessories may use self tapping screws, so a drill and screwdriver may be required in those instances. Efficient Creform modules begin with a well conceived plan. No matter how simple the project you plan to build may seem, assembly will go faster and smoother, with fewer errors and wasted material if you establish a layout drawing or sketch. These can be hand drawn or utilize a CAD system and should include final dimensions and anticipated loads. All load factors and assembly instructions are located in this section. In your plan, consider that, typically, a continuous run of a single pipe provides greater strength than several pieces spliced together. To maintain structural integrity, it is essential that all pipe ends fit into joints, whether plastic or metal, to full depth — in almost all cases this is 30mm. When determining pipe lengths, be sure to include this dimension, and never diminish a joint’s strength by inserting pipes to partial depths. Remember that the concept of Creform Systems is to build structures that are easy to use, and to present parts in an ergonomic fashion. If they are too large or awkward to move, this defeats their objective. For example, in most cases we recommend the depth (or width) of a module not be more than twice its opposite and the height not exceed the sum of its width and depth. What do you want Creform to do for you? The application you intend for your Creform structure will help determine whether to use plastic joints or metal joints. Basic considerations include the environment (plastic provides better resistance to the elements), weight of the structure (plastic is lighter), foreseeable modifications (metal joints can be easily disassembled and reused), vibration (metal joints absorb vibration and impacts better), and strength (typically, permanently bonded plastic joints are stronger). Creform is not designed for human support.800-839-8823www.creform.com H-2 SECTION H CREFORM TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Creform standard pipe. Creform Pipe is steel pipe with a plastic resin coated outer surface. An adhesive bonds the resin to the pipe preventing separation. The inner surface is treated with a non-corrosive coating. Typical applications. Pre-cutting: We offer pre-cut pipe and conveyor as a customer service. Cut to length with a +/-1mm tolerance and each end deburred. A great time saver when assembling. Bent pipe: We bend Creform 28mm round pipe as a customer service. Generally, we bend the pipe using a 150, 200, or 250 radius. Larger variable radii also available. Temperature: Creform is designed for use within the temperature range of 15” to 120”F (-10”C to 50”C). Chemical resistance: Please inquire with your specific requirement. Note: 28mm is the recommended pipe diameter for general applications because it is supported by most Creform components. 32mm is generally reserved for special purpose applications. 42mm is used for building heavy-duty structures.

Structures are formed by connecting pipes with our Metal and Plastic joints. When choosing the joints to use for your project, give consideration to flexibility, reusability, strength, environment, and cost factors. Further details below will help you choose the right joints for your application. • The flexibility and reusability of our metal joints make them the most popular among our customers. • Metal joints are the superior choice if your structure will experience vibration or impact loading. • Available either as H-components or HJ-joint sets. The H-components are joined together with a common sized nut/ bolt to form HJ-joints. The joints are designed to hold the nut so only a simple hex wrench is required for assembly or disassembly. • To ensure maximum holding strength, pipes should be fully inserted to joint’s physical stop and the bolt should be torqued with a 5mm hex wrench to 9.8Nm (100kg-cm or 7-1/4 ft-lb). Be careful not to over tighten to prevent pipe or joint damage which would compromise structure. • ESD versions available for anti-static applications. • Metal joints are available to fit both 28mm and 32mm pipe. Metal joint Creform Metal Specifications Material Steel or Stainless Steel Color Black (standard) Conductive Plating (ESD) Gage No. 12 • Permanently attached to Creform pipe using our special purpose adhesive. MSDS sheet available. • Great for outdoor applications or any application where moisture is a consideration. • A low cost alternative suitable for structures where flexibility can be compromised for economy. • 100’s of different joint configurations to support your application. • Different colors available to match some of the commonly used pipe colors. • Lightweight.
