The STRECON Container Concept

Strength merit originates The STRECON container is a high-strength prestressing tool system, which can be twice as
from the stripwinding strong as normal prestressing tools (single and double rings). The strength of the container is
a derived effect of the steel strip material, which is wound around an inner ring of either high-
alloyed tool steel or tungsten carbide.

Outside the coiled strip section is mounted an outer steel ring by heat shrinkage. Each strip
layer is adding to the overall strength of the STRECON container (see the figure below). The
back tension of the strip material is controlled during the winding process, and the inner ring
is compressed to a state of approx. -2000 MPa for tool steel and approx. -2500 MPa for carbide.

The stripwinding technique ensures that the STRECON container remains fully elastic even at
maximum process pressure and no plastic expansion of the inner container diameter would
happen. The STRECON container system is the strongest prestressing technology available in
the market.

Principal design structure The cut model below shows the basic design structure of a STRECON container, namely
the inner ring, the steel strip material, and the outer casing. The table below offers further
information about the container design.

Steel strip material The steel strip is a special heat treated material and has a yield strength of more than 2000
MPa at room temperature. The strip thickness is just 0,1 mm and allows for the manufacturing
of both small and large containers. The Strip 200 material is used for container applications up
to 200°C, and the Strip 400 material is for applications up to 400°C.
