- Protection against corrosion

Corrosion is a degradation process of the pipe material. It will lead to
early failure of the system. So for metal pipe systems measures like
passivation or insulation are applied to reduce the risk for corrosion.
- Protection against mechanical damage

Mechanical damages like scratches or notches by bad handling lead to
weakening of the material. Careless clamping and insufficient expansion
compensation leads to additional material stresses. Both can lead to
early failure of the system.

Thermal disinfection
Legionella growth is stopped at a temperature between 55-60°C. Killing
legionella settlements requires a minimal temperature of 70°C for minimal
30 minutes in the total pipe system. A frequent heating above 60°C limits
the lifetime of installation materials.
Chemical disinfection
Legionella bacteria on the surface of biofilms are killed by chlorine
substances such as Calcium Hypochlorit, Chlorine, Chlorine Dioxide, Natrium
Hypochlorite. In general the chemical resistance of polypropylene to these
chlorine substances is not satisfactory. However in reality these chlorine
substances are dosed in aqueous solutions at low concentrations and
prepared at 20°C. This reduces the impact on installation materials.

may not endanger the hygienic quality of the water. It is preferably
realized by:
- Insulation of pipe systems and storage tanks
- Hydraulic alignment of circulation systems
- Applying economic circulation pumps and storage tanks
- Applying water saving taps
Codes of practice for drinking water installations make a distinction

between large and small scale installations. Large scale installations
require a circulation system to prevent that heated water cools down in
the pipe system (when it flows back from a tap branch) before it is heated
again on the required temperature. Circulation systems lead to heat loss
and additional energy consumption.

Scope and filed application

This document establishes a provisional classification of the chemical re-
sistance of polypropylene with respect to about 180 fluids. It is intended
to provide general guidelines on the possible utilization of polypropylene
piping for the conveyance of fluids:
- at temperatures up to 20, 60 and 100°C
- in the absence of internal pressure and external mechanical stress
(for example flexural stresses, stresses due to thrust, rolling loads etc.)
Illustration 3.1
Benefits of PP-R piping systems:

- Lifetime according to tests performed under ISO 15874
- No limitations to the pH value of water
- No contact corrosion when exposed to iron particles
- Taste and odour neutral
- Bacteriologically neutral
- Fast and easy installation
- Entire plastic systems available
- Good chemical resistance
- Low tendency to incrustations

bonds the haemoglobin of blood and blocks the ability of blood to
transport oxygen around the body. This may cause intoxication and leads
to unconsciousness and death. Even rather a small amounts of CO causes
dizziness, headaches and fatigue.
Emissions from processes (welding)

At elevated processing temperatures (for example during welding) ther-
mal degradation and oxidation take place and volatile compounds (VOC)
are emitted. Thermal degradation is an irreversible chemical process
caused by heat. Polymer chains crack into shorter chains reducing the
resins molecular weight, introducing double bonds in the polymer and
producing low molecular weight volatiles. The scission of the polymer
can be induced by shear or be pure thermal. Thermal degradation divides
into oxidative and non-oxidative degradation. Oxidative degradation can
take place during welding when the weld temperature is set too high.
The higher the processing temperature the more the polymer degrades.
The bigger the air-exposed surface to volume ratio the more oxygencon-
taining degradation products are formed.
Emissions from processes are primarily different hydrocarbons, saturated

or unsaturated, with linear, branched or cyclic structure. Some aromatic
compounds are also generated when additives degrade. The number and
amount of oxygenates among the degradation products are small. The
most abundant oxygenates are formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, formic acid
and acetone. Water vapour, carbon monoxide (CO), and carbon dioxide
(CO2) are also formed. Dust and aerosols, which resembles paraffin wax
fumes, are formed in significant amounts. The absolute amount of
emission is small and extremely difficult to estimate since it depends on
local circumstances. Reported occupational health impacts are mainly
different temporary symptoms of irritation and allergy and indisposition.
Despite the small amount of emissions, efficient ventilation is always needed
to ensure the safety of the working environment, and to minimize the
occupational risks.

Stabilisation packages role is to protect the polymer against the oxidation

which could occur during the:
- manufacturing step by extrusion or injection where the material is
exposed at high temperature i.e. 200ºC and 230ºC for a short period
of time
- long term exposure of the pipe system, underpressure at temperature
up to 70ºC
To produce homogeneous compound special care is paid to ensure that

the stabilizing package is finely dispersed in the PP-R resin by compounding.

4.2.3 Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP)

The maximum operating pressure is calculated for all PP materials and
safety (design) factors, and is presented in tables. See appendix B, the
tables for PP-R and PP-RCT with SF 1,5 and SF 1,25.

Advantages PP-RCT material

The improved long-term strength of the PP-RCT material leads to a more
economic set of dimensions of the pipe system. It enables designers
to select thinner wall pipes and in some situations also smaller diameter
pipes can be used. This results in higher hydraulic pipe capacity or the
possibility to apply higher pressure than with standard PP-R.

Pipe systems are usually installed so that the pipelines can elongate
under the effects of heat. The latitude of movement can be provided by

Pipe systems can also be installed without special thermal linear

compensation. Pipe systems in which linear movement is impeded
must pay special attention to the tensile and compressive stresses that
occur, as well as to forces at fixed points. Exposed plastic pipes that
are rigidly or firmly clamped (e.g. on a pipe bridge) can be exposed to
large temperature variations. For this reason, calculations can be used
in individual cases to test the expected stresses in order to determine
if linear compensation can be excluded.

5.3.3 Pipe diameter selection
In order to select the pipe diameters correctly, the following must be
determined:
- Number and size of the removal points connected
- Peak flow at each removal point
- Flow speeds
- Pressure losses
A considerable amount of data is necessary in order to calculate the correct

diameters for a pipe network. The following data is required:
- Geodetic height difference
- Minimum supply overpressure and/or pressure on the output side of a
pressure reducing or pressure increasing device
- Pressure losses at items of equipment such as water gauges, filters,
water treatment units etc.
- Minimum flow pressures of the removal point fittings employed
- Pipe friction pressure gradient of the pipe material employed
- Coefficients of resistance of the fittings and connection units employed
Planning aid
You can find the tables providing the relevant information (pipe friction
resistances, loss coefficients for fittings and connection units etc.) in
appendix B.
The use of modern software systems make the repeating calculations

efficient. Different software systems are available. Ensure that the underlying
calculations are based on the national requirements.

definition the fixed point or fixed clamp holds the pipe in a fixed manner, in
which in contrast a sliding point will permit the pipe to move in the axial
direction of the pipe. An optimally satisfactory installation can be ensured
by appropriate selection of these two different methods of mounting.
Rubber clamp inserts for plastic pipe prevent the pipe surface from being
damaged at the clamp and ensure the required guiding and holding of
the pipe.

cushions must be at least as large as ∆l.
6.5.3 Load on a tee

Due to varying temperatures, fittings are subject to surface pressure.
This adverse load concentrates on tee sections, as additional shear forces
are created at outgoing connections. If a load limiting element is placed
directly beside the fitting, an electrofusion coupler is the most suitable
connection piece. The longitudinal force (force on a fixed point) remains
equally large, but the deformation due to the significantly smaller ∆l is
clearly less. Another option for protection against overload is the incorporation
of an expansion zone (expansion cushion).

6.6 Putting in use
6.6.1 Pressure test

After a drinking water system has been installed but before it is commissioned,
it must be tested for tightness. This should be done while the system is still
visible. Polypropylene expands under the influence of heat and pressure. For
this reason it is necessary that the test medium (as a rule water) and the
pipe work material are at the same temperature. Attention should therefore
be paid to the fact that the test medium has a temperature that is as
constant as possible. The pressure test is divided into three parts, namely
the initial, the main and the final test.
Initial test
The highest possible operating pressure is increased by a factor of 1,5.
This test pressure must be restored twice at intervals of in each case 10
minutes within a period of 30 minutes. After the pressure has been restored
again a second time, the test pressure may not fall by more than 0,6 bar
within the next 30 minutes. In addition no leakage may occur.
Main test
The main test commences immediately after the completion of the initial
test and lasts two hours. During this period the pressure may not fall by
more than 0,2 bar relative to the pressure at the end of the initial test.
Final test
Test pressures of 10 bar and 1 bar are applied alternately at intervals of
at least 5 minutes. After each application of pressure, the pipe network is
to be depressurized. Leakage may not occur at any point in the network
being tested.
Measuring devices
The pressure measuring device used, must permit accurate readings to
the nearest 0,1 bar. Where possible, the pressure is to be determined at
the lowest point of the network.
Test memorandum
The test as carried out is to be documented in a memorandum which
must be signed by the client and contractor with statement of the place
and date of signing. See illustration 6.8 on the next page for a test
memorandum form.
6.6.2 Flushing out of pipe work systems

The purpose of flushing out pipe work systems is ensuring the quality of
drinking water, avoidance of corrosion damage, avoidance of damage
to fittings and equipment and cleaning of the inner surface of the pipes.
Regardless of the material of the pipes, all pipe work systems carrying
drinking water are to be flushed out.
Suitable processes are:

1. Flushing out with water
2. Flushing out with a mixture of air and water
Flushing out process 1, namely flushing out with water, is sufficient in the
case of drinking water systems which are composed exclusively of Wefatherm
pipes and fittings. The appropriate flushing out process should be selected
on the basis of the experience of the installing firm and of the client.
6.6.3 Balancing
After the flushing procedure has been performed, the flow in the pipe
system segments are balanced by setting and adjusting valves.

4. Working clothing: wear tightly fitting clothing and no rings or jewellery Wear safety glasses
when working: loose clothing and rings or jewellery could be caught
by moving parts.
Wear hearing protection
5. Electrical parts: before connecting a device to the mains, check that it
is switched off. Always pull out the plug before carrying repairs. Replace
damaged or brittle connection cables and pull reliefs immediately. Improper use can cause severe cuts, bruising or dismemberment
Protect cables from heat and sharp edges. Never pull plugs out of
the socket by pulling on the cable. Never carry a device by the cable.
6. Workpieces: ensure that the pipe and fitting are always located firmly
in the clamping devices.
7. Danger of injury: beware of squashing when closing the clamps.
8. Danger of burning: the metal parts on the heating element will have
temperatures up to 300°C. Take precautions so that it is not possible
to touch them. Keep inflammable materials at a safe distance away.
9. Spare parts: replace damaged parts immediately. Protect electrical

parts carefully. Dirt and moisture are very good electrical conductors.
Use only original spare parts. Always state the machine number and
version number when ordering spare parts.
Preparations
Use only Wefatherm tools for welding of the Wefatherm pipe system.
Before starting the assembly check the welding tools for impurities. If
necessary clean tools with absorbent, lint-free and non-dyed paper and
PP cleaner. Replace worn out and damaged parts, specially tools with

9.2.3 Weld-in saddle welding
The Wefatherm weld-in saddles weld both the pipe outer surface and the
wall thickness of the pipe for a reliable joining.
Advantages
- realizing additional tees on distribution lines
- afterwards addition of sensors (thermometer, pressure gauge)
- construction of tees
Weld-in saddles can be used for PP-R and PP-R stabi pipes.
Installation
1. Drill a hole into the pipe with drill
Code 5150 30070.
Notice the depth of the drill.
2. For stabi pipes: remove the rest of the aluminium

in the bore hole with chamfering tool
Code 5150 30075.
3. Heat up the hole and weld-in saddle simulta-

neously. The heat up time is 30 sec (temperature
260°C). Heat time starts when full insertion
depth of the saddle is reached and the saddle is
pushed against the tool.
4. After heating up, remove the welding tool and

weld the saddle immediately into the hole. The
saddle should be pressed into the pipe for 15
sec. After 10 min of cooling down the weld-in
saddle can be used.

Butt-welding is a very economical and reliable jointing technique in which need to be adapted accordingly. The values given in this Specification
an additional tool is required to create the non-detachable joint. Butt- Manual are specific for the butt-weld machine Ritmo Delta Dragon. When
welding is very well-suited to the pre-fabrication of pipe elements and the another butt-weld machine (fabricator or type) is applied, the welder
construction of special fittings. In butt-welding, the welding surfaces needs to respect the specific parameters of this fabricator/type.
(ends) of the components to be welded are first machined (planed). This
produces coplanar ends that can later be simultaneously pressed against
the heating element. The welding surfaces are then heated by the heating
element (hot plate) and lined up under slight pressure (alignment pressure).
Subsequently, heating proceeds under reduced pressure (heating time)
and, after removing the heating element (conversion), the joint is formed
under welding pressure. Table 9.3 provides a schematic representation of
the butt-welding process.
Adjustable heating temperatures can be varied to match wall thickness

(see illustration 9.3).

9.4 Electrofusion welding
This jointing technique is suitable for d20-315 mm. The described process
is according guideline DVS 2207 Part 11.
Installation
1. Cut off the end of the pipe square and deburr.
Mark the welding depth of the coupler.
2. Prepare the pipe surface in the welding area.

Remove the oxidation layer in the welding
area, depth of the coupler + 0,5 cm processing
surcharge. Use a rotary scraper tool. Remove the
chips without touching the pipe surface.
3. Clean the pipe surface and the inside of the

coupler with absorbent, lint-free and nondyed
paper. Internal surface of the coupler must not
be scraped. The fitting should only be taken
out of the protection cover when starting the
installation.
4. Slide the coupler onto the pipe, free of tension

or stress up to the marking. Control by prior
marking. Secure the pipe against dislocation,
e.g. with a pipe clamp. Connect the two welding
cables to the contact pins of the coupler and
start the welding process.
5. Only start the welding process when the position

of the pipes in the electrofusion coupler is even.
At the end of the welding cycle wait for the cooling time. After the cooling
time you can stress the electrofusion joint to the permissible operating
pressure.

9.5 Flange jointing
This paragraph contains a recommendation to ensure a reliable and tight

flange joint according to ESA/ESF guideline publication 009/98.
Alignment
1. The sealing faces of the two stub-ends in a joint should contact each
other or in case of a rubber joint with gasket, be parallel to each other
all around the circumference and in full contact.
2. The flange face should be in full contact all around the circumference
with the upper face of the stub-end to avoid fulcrum effect which will
lead to leaking and even breaking of the flange itself while torqueing
the bolts.

Bolt tightening
1. Install all the bolts and nuts finger tight, ensuring
at all times that the alignment is correct.
2. As the first torqueing step, tighten the bolts in
a crisscross sequence as shown in illustration
9.5. Using a torque wrench with 20% of the
final torque listed in table 9.5, taking care that
points 1 and 2, are satisfied at all times.
3. In the four remaining steps, repeat step two Illustration 9.5
four times, each time increasing the torque by
20% of the final value.
4. After reaching the final torque, use rotational tightening until all bolts
are stable at the final torque value (in general two complete times
around is required).
Always use the crisscross pattern!
