Internal stresses in the welding zone Properties Creep strength chemical Resistance Slow crack Propagation Conclusions Maximum internal stresses (tensile) often appear in the area of the bead notch Due to a loading, an additional superimposition of further stresses results. A failure of the component (welding joint) starts from the bead notch.

CONCLUSIONS Properties Creep strength chemical Resistance Slow crack
Propagation Conclusions

CONCLUSIONS PPH, PPB and PPR in comparison Advantages PP-H
Properties Creep strength chemical Resistance Slow crack Propagation Conclusions Advantages PP-H high creep strength at low temperatures higher E-module, larger support distances are possible lower raw material price

CONCLUSIONS PPH, PPB and PPR in comparison Advantages PP-B
Properties Creep strength chemical Resistance Slow crack Propagation Conclusions Advantages PP-B better shrinkage behaviour, therefore no voids and larger injection moulding parts are possible lower internal stress potential high viscosity very high impact resistance

CONCLUSIONS PPH, PPB and PPR in comparison Advantages PP-R
Properties Creep strength chemical Resistance Slow crack Propagation Conclusions Advantages PP-R high creep strength at high temperatures higher resistance against slow crack propagation higher pressure loadability better shrinkage behaviour, therefore no voids and larger injection moulding parts are possible lower internal stress potential high viscosity

CONCLUSIONS Typical application ranges of PP-types PP-Homopolymer:
Properties Creep strength chemical Resistance Slow crack Propagation Conclusions PP-Homopolymer: Semi-finished products for the tank construction Pipes for industrial applications PP-Block Copolymer: Piping systems for sewage water technology (underground installations) PP-Random Copolymer: Piping systems for high pressure and temperature loadings (systems for industrial water use) Welding rod Injection moulding components (specially in larger dimensions)

CONCLUSIONS Modified PP-moulding materials
Properties Creep strength chemical Resistance Slow crack Propagation Conclusions PP-R, black: UV-stabilization because of high content of carbon black (impact resistance decreases) PP-R, natural: High purity applications, as no color additives are included PP-H-s:Flame retarding Homopolymer, e.g. for the application in ventilation, exhaust or chimney systems PP-R-s-el: Flame retarding Random Copolymer, which is mostly used for the transport of slightly ignitable media because of its electrical conductivity

CONCLUSIONS Injection moulded components for Pressure piping systems
Properties Creep strength chemical Resistance Slow crack Propagation Conclusions Bends 90°out of PP up to d500 in SDR 33, 17,6 and 11 Tees out of PP up to d 500 in SDR 33, 17,6 and 11 Backing rings out of PP/St up to d 630 for max. working excess pressures of 10 bar
