Roof panels for the Flexity tram in Palermo, Italy What looks like a threedimensional, singlecast component on the sides of trams from the Flexity range from Bombardier, consists of pultruded GRP elements with gluedon end caps, which have been milled, glued, primed and painted. Optionally, the 656 mm wide roof panel can also be manufactured with a gluedon bracket. It has fire protection in accordance with NF F 16101 and DIN 5510. For new projects, we also meet fire protection requirements in accordance with EN 45545.

Roof panels for the Sprinter Lighttrain in the Netherlands. For the Sprinter Lighttrain made by Bombardier, stainless steel sliding blocks were glued into the GRP profiles (A2 bonding) for high rigidity. Vertical tear resistance of 2,772 N was required for every single adhesive bond. This requirement was far surpassed in practice. The roof panel, which has the appearance of a 3dimensional component from a single cast, consists of pultruded GRP profiles and 3D moulded parts, partly combined with stainless steel components. 3Dprinted components may also be used.

The piping system consists of high-grade NiroSan® press fittings with an EPDM (=ethylene propylene dien rubber) moulded sealing ring and NiroSan® stainless steel system pipes according to EN 10312. All NiroSan® press fittings are made from the premium stainless steel type 1.4404 / AISI 316L (for pressing components) and 1.4408 (for precision cast threaded stainless steel components). The material 1.4404 contains at least 2.3 % molybdenum, yet less carbon than the conventional type 1.4401. Thereby these materials are not only of equal value but in addition, material 1.4404 / 316L stands out on account of its considerably higher corrosion resistance. The NiroSan® press system and its components are certified in accordance with the rules and regulations of all important European certification bodies.
