- Page 14 The application is very important. The side support must always be orientated so that they are on the load bearing side of the trapped Europa welded liner joint. The load bearing features may be either mechanically (weight) or thermally (expansion) induced, and it is the greater of these which will determine the orientation of the construction.

It is also used for 50mm annulus products at 600mm and 100mm annulus products at 500mm and above.
