Ductility California-OSHA Pressure Testing: Impact Testing Quick Burst Pressure Test 1000 Hour Pressure Test Impact Testing Sharp, Object Strike -Pressurized Blunt, Object Strike -Pressurized Object Strike -0 F -Pressurized
Ductility MODE OF FAILURE Cal-OSHA Compliance SMALL LINEAR TEARS Cal-OSHA Compliance Non-Catastrophic Failure Mode
Chemical Resistance Resistance to Mineral and Synthetic Compressor Oil Resistance to wide range of Chemical and Vapors No solvent joining cements to worry about!
Pressure Drop FRICTION FACTOR NEW: AGED: AIR-PRO C = 150 IRON C = 100 TO 110 AGED: IRON C = Decreased Decrease is due to Internal Corrosion, Pitting and scaling
Pressure Drop Comparison Metal L= 200 m p= 12 bar V= 40 l/s result: pipe dimension: ID= 53,0 mm OD= 60,3 mm pressure drop: Dp= 0.335 psi Air - Pro L= 200 m p= 12 bar V= 40 l/s result: pipe dimension: ID= 53,0 (54) mm OD= 72,6 (75) mm pressure drop: Dp= 0.210 psi Difference of pressure drop ~26%
Stress Curve The calculated service life of pipe is based on the results of the creep rupture tests under internal compression carried out by the material manufacturers as per DIN 8075, and on long-term tests of the ageing stability in temperature controlled oxygen fresh water. MRS 10: minimum required strength for an operating time of 50 years and a temperature of 20°C = 10 N/mm2 Design life of 50 years
Pressure vs. Temperature Values based on 20mm-110mm Socket Fusion Material
Design Criteria – Thermal Expansion L = 12 LT L = Change in Length (inches) =Coefficient of Thermal Expansion L = Length of pipe run T = Change in Temperature
Design Criteria – Gooseneck Drops Removal of condensation in drops/branches

Socket Fusion
Socket Fusion cleaning of the pipe and the fitting. Bevel or Peel dependent upon size pressing the pipe and the fitting on the heating element for preheating remove and join the pipe and fitting together Leaving the joint without load during the cooling time visual control of the joint recommended procedure: by hand up to OD 40 mm (1¼“) use welding equipment for dimensions > OD 40 mm (1¼“)
