  • During Fusion welding:
    • Fusion part must be free from sand and particles
    • Welding time and depths must be observed
    • Do not twist and turn pipes and fittings while inserting and detaching from welding machine.
  • Pressure test must be conducted before concealing pipe work.
  • Little gap must be left in the wall wherever there is any kind of joint.
  • Do not over tight fittings with metal parts to avoid damages.

THERMAL EXPANSION

Polypropylene pipes have a thermal expansion and flexibility. This fact should be taken into consideration while designing water supplying system, specially hot water piping.

Thermal expansion of water supplying systems can be accommodated in the pipe bends or loop as compensators. The principle is to control thermal movements by constraining the pipe laterally. More details can be provided on request.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE CHART


One of the characteristic of Polypropylene Random Copolymer ( PP / PP-R) is its property of having the greatest chemical resistance. The chemical resistance of any substance has direct relation with its properties, its composition, its concentration, heat and duration under effect. The chemical resistance chart for the Chemicals with different composition and concentration and their resistance at various temperatures can be provided on request.
 

THERMAL INSULATION


Thermal Insulation may be installed for the purpose of preventing sweating and condensation. How ever Polypropylene material has rather low thermal conductivity, thus PP-R pipes require less insulation material then metal pipes. For example PN 20 pipe will have 53 deg C surface temperatures as a result of transporting water at temperature 80 deg C for a continuous time.
