Description

Slinky

Slinky is an ultra‑low profile ring designed to fit around pipes with very limited radial clearance, such as those found in culverts or pipe racks. With less than 25 mm of clearance required, they can be mounted in spaces where other rings cannot fit.

By design, Slinky rings cover a narrower pipe size range than traditional solid rings. Standard configurations cover API nominal pipe sizes within API 5L tolerance.

They are suitable for inspection of low‑clearance:

  • Bare / Painted Pipes
  • Sleeved Pipes
  • Insulated Pipes
Low Profile
Precision Cast Body
Ergonomic Handles
