TracPipe® CounterStrike® is really a patented CSST innovation according to our existing TracPipe® CounterStrike® CSST product, but that’s engineered to considerably decrease the opportunity of lightning caused harm to fuel gas piping systems. TracPipe® CounterStrike® continues to be made with an exclusive jacket material instead of the conventional yellow jacket. This black jacket has energy dissipating qualities that can help safeguard the TracPipe® CounterStrike® stainless pressure liner along with other fuel gas system components when the TracPipe® CounterStrike® becomes energized because of lightning.
The raised form of TracPipe® CounterStrike® is made to withstand considerably greater amounts of lightning energy in comparison with first generation TracPipe® CounterStrike® and, obviously, to traditional TracPipe® CounterStrike® using the yellow jacket. TracPipe® CounterStrike® continues to be proven to depend on 400 occasions more up against the damaging results of electrical power than conventional CSST, and it is a minimum of 6 occasions more resistant against that damage compared to previous form of TracPipe® CounterStrike®.
No product, such as the improved TracPipe® CounterStrike® is safe from the harm the result of a direct lightning strike. Make reference to NFPA 780 for lightning protection systems for structures and building systems.

TracPipe® CounterStrike® Performance (Testing)
The capacity of TracPipe® CounterStrike® to resist electrical power has once more been tested with a leading U.S lightning laboratory. The laboratory duplicated typical field damage related to lightning for CSST. The electrical power level in coulombs (the quantity of electricity supplied by a present of 1 ampere flowing for just one second) which was recognized to damage our standard CSST was utilized like a baseline to look for the performance degree of TracPipe® CounterStrike®. When tested against our standard CSST, the most recent form of TracPipe® CounterStrike® exceeded the TracPipe® CounterStrike®’s performance by a minimum of 400%.
