Protection Against Overvoltage
Robert Barthle, Product Manager
SCHUCK insulating joints type SHD: In order to ensure reliable insulation even after an overvoltage, SCHUCK insulating joints type SHD are equipped with the patented ring spark gap.
This protects the insulating joint from carbonizing of the insulating materials by tear down the overvoltage at a defined point without damaging the component.

Installation and Video of the New Pipeline Linear Compensators
Jürgen Heim, Product Development
Last February, Schuck delivered the last of the 42 new linear compensators to Poland on schedule.
These were initially all delivered to a large storage area where quality control was carried out by the customer, during which each individual linear compensator was checked in detail using a corresponding checklist.
THE TRADE FAIR EXHIBIT FOR THE SCHUCK SEALING FLANGE
Robert Barthle, Product Manager
We like to use acrylic glass cubes for trade fairs and exhibitions to enable a view into the wall. In this way, we can clearly show the installation situation of our house entries with accessories in the wall and clearly show what cannot be seen in practice.
A day on the construction side with Schuck sleeve connectors
Robert Barthle, Product Manager
Part of a DN500 gas line is to be renewed on a busy street in the urban area. You can also see a measure on the parallel water pipe that has already been completed. The crossing water pipe makes accessibility difficult for work on the gas pipe. The generously excavated and exemplary secured work area still allows access for the necessary work.
Automation of a Gas Pipeline
Timur Lenk
In this retrofit project, SCHUCK actuators were installed on existing ball valves and are therefore an essential part of the success of the ENGIE (Cuxtal) pipeline for the gas supply on the Yucatán peninsula. Read more about the integration of different drives (single and double acting) on already installed ball valves in a new measuring and control station.
New Nominal Sizes - Schuck SK Ball Valves
Robert Barthle, Product Manager
With the expansion of our SK ball valve series, we are closing the gap between our ball valves for the city gas/distribution and the ball valves for transport lines.
The SK ball valve series was previously available up to nominal sizes DN200 and PN16. With our program expansion, we can offer larger nominal sizes up to DN400 as well as higher pressure levels up to PN40 with the SK ball valve.
Project-On-Site Service, Commissioning & Maintenance
Andreas Bauer
As a system and solution provider, we not only provide our customers with products of outstanding quality, but also offer an all-round service. An impressive example of this is the so-called ZEELINK pipeline:
The SCHUCK service is at regular intervals on the compressor station as well as on the route to ensure smooth commissioning.
Direct communication between the customer and SCHUCK enables all work to be carried out quickly and easily.
The Partial Valve Stroke Test - Insights
Michael Kelp, Head of Development
A Partival Valve Stroke Test (short: PVST) enables the operator to check and guarantee the safety of the system without interrupting the process. Here, the valve is only partially closed (by 5% up to around 20%) and thus some of the possible sources of error are tested, especially with safety shut-off valves. The functionality is checked during operation if required without interruption of flow.
"GAS AND GLASS" - SIMPLY INSTALLING FIBERGLASS
Robert Barthle, Product Manager
The parallel installation of a Schuck gas, electricity or water house entry with an empty pipe for fibre optics in a common core bore makes it possible to set up the infrastructure for a fibre optic network (FTTH, FFTx) with very little effort.
FIRESAFE FI - THE CLEVER GAS SWITCH LEVER
Robert Barthle, Product Manager
Gas house entries with integrated main shut-off valves must meet a high standard.
The SCHUCK Firesafe lever, for example, creates an extremely high safety standard for the HSP gas house connections. Find out here how the safe gas house entry from SCHUCK works and how it proves itself in an emergency.
UNIVERSAL, SAFE AND TIGHT - THE SCHUCK Empty Pipe SYSTEM
Robert Barthle, Product Manager
The complete package is compatible with all common building entries for the media of water, gas, electricity and telecommunications in buildings without a basement. In this way, building owners are perfectly prepared by laying the empty pipe route and save themselves nasty surprises on the construction site.
WATER BALL VALVE FOR SAUDI ARABIA
Michael Kelp, Head of Development
The Schuck Group is once again supplying so-called water ball valves type G as part of a larger project to Saudi Arabia. Fully welded ball valves for water are fundamentally a challenge, as the entire inside of the valve, including the weld seam, must be protected against corrosion.
Sealed even without a ditch
Robert Barthle, Product Manager
The challenge with trenchless house connections is making them gas and watertight, as well as tear-proof and torsion-proof installation of the house entry, in compliance with regulations - despite the maximum restricted access to the outside of the building.
The Schuck sealing screen was specially developed to create trenchless house connections easily, quickly and safely.
Linear Compensators in a high pressure pipeline
Jürgen Heim, Product Development
In the underfloor gas pipeline, which is to go into operation in the new years, 42 of these pipeline linear compenstors with a nominal width of DN 1000, a nominal pressure of PN 84 and a new design are used for integration into a KKS system.
Campaign on Sleeve Connectors
Robert Barthle, Product Manager
As a well-known manufacturer of sleeve connectors, the Schuck Group bears a special responsibility, especially when it comes to occupational and operational safety.
In close cooperation with the BG ETEM trade association, Schuck has developed a catalogue of measures to create greater safety awareness among users of Schuck SMU Sleeve Connectors.
Find out here which 3 measures ensure better occupational safety on the construction site and significantly minimize the risk of accidents.
Pipeline Job Site in Mexico
Birgit Schuck, Head of Marketing
The VAG pipeline is 388 km in length and 36 inches in area and will serve the areas of San Luis Potosi, Aguascalientes and Guadalajara with natural gas use, as well as other countries in the country such as Colima, Michoacan and central Mexico via its connections.
The introduction of this system completes the tie-up of the gas pipeline network known as "Wahalajara," which carries the world's cheapest natural gas from the Waha region of Texas, United States, to Mexico and has a combined transport capability of more than 5,331 million cubic feet of natural gas each Day and a length of 2,150 km circumstances.
Radon Proof - For Sure.
Robert Barthle, Product Manager
An important requirement that is becoming more and more the focus of public discussion is the radon-tightness of building entries. Inadequately made penetrations can be the cause of the penetration of radon gases and thus harmful radon concentrations in buildings.
SCHUCK is H2ready
Robert Barthle, Product Manager
With the announcement of the hydrogen strategy in June 2020, the German Federal Government ushered in a new era in the use of alternative energy sources. The central role here is played using so-called green hydrogen as a game changer in the energy industry.
For us as an established system manufacturer for everything to do with energy supply and as an innovative pioneer in the industry, it is a matter of course to be a part of this process.
The Schuck Group has already got in the mood for this mega trend and started developing its products further and new at an early stage.
We spoke to the responsible product manager Robert Barthle about this.
