RAW MATERIAL - RANDOM POLYPROPYLENE Polypropylene it’s a versatile polymer which is abroad in our days. It is formed by simple connections of carbon-carbon and hydrogen-carbon. It is gotten by the propylene polymerisation, in the presence of catalysts in particular temperature and pressure conditions. In agreement with the polypropylene classification, we can classify the used raw material as being part of the copolymers group of the Random type. To get polypropylene copolymer little quantities of ethylene are joined conferring to it the aptitude for the pipes production. Polypropylene Copolymer Random is characterised by its high molecular weigh and also by its resistance capacity in high temperatures and pressure conditions, assuring a high resistance and long life. We can also detach in the polypropylene a correct balance between its chemical, physical, ecological and economical properties.

On the table we can find the most known chemical products. For more information about other chemical products please contact with the company.

Acoustic Isolation

The raw material characteristics and the used thicknesses give a high level of acoustic isolation to the system.

Organoleptical Properties

PP-R is a product completely not toxic, assuring to the system the possibility of conduction of drinkable water.

Adjusted Useful Life

In agreement with the regression curves, it is possible to observe that for the hydrosanitary installations, in defined temperature and pressure conditions the lifetime of the system reaches over 50 years.

The most important characteristic of PP-R system is the Thermo Welding union of all the elements, which is a safety and easy way to execute the work comparing to other systems.

ADVANTAGES USING THIS SYSTEM

Corrosion Resistance

Polypropylene Random has a high level of electrical isolation, what prevents the corrosion appearance consequence of the chain water. The system low affinity index to basic and acid substances, gives it compatibility with daily used compounds in construction industry (whitewash and cement), as well as the most chemical substances that are usually present in water conducts. Any information concerning with chemical products use on PP-R conducts must be consulted in the table on the right:

Low Thermal Conductivity

It substantially reduces the traditional thermal condensation typical of the metallic pipes.

Reduced Load Losses

Fittings and pipes are characterized by the internal smooth surfaces, preventing the calcareous deposit, reducing to the minimal the load losses.

APPLICATION FIELD Helisystem system, because of its previous mentioned characteristics, has a very large range of application fields, considering the appropriated pressure and temperature for the application class: Cold and Hot Water Sanitary Distribution; Central Heating System; Pipe installations in upstream columns of big buildings: hotels, hospitals, schools, etc; Industrial Installations: Agriculture, horticulture, slaughter houses, nourishing liquids; Boats, camping charavanes, pre-manufactured houses Work Pressure (bar) Application Class

10 8 10 6 1 – Hot water distribution (60 ºC) 2 – Hot water distribution (70 ºC) 3 – Central Heating system at low temperature 4 – Central heating system at High T emperature

HANDLE AND INSTALLATION

To get a good result in the Helisystem installation, you must consider some very important HELIROMA recommendations, as well as the Welding Technique and the Linear Dilatation.

UV rays Resistance

PP-R, as all thermoplastics, shouldn’t be directly exposed to the solar rays.

Bending Pipes

Do not use flames to made bending or shunting lines, because it will probably damage the molecular structure of the polypropylene.

Low Temperatures Resistance

At low temperatures (near to 0º C) the system becomes more fragile. Especially in the pipes extremities the shocks must be prevented, as well as the excess heavy weighs and big curves. Prevent the use of pipes with incisions or scratches, result

• f bad handle.

Prevent Escapes in Metallic Connections

Use Teflon or hemp to prevent escapes. Do not use fittings with conic screw or not calibrated, and screw it without extreme effort.

Cutting

To get a cut without barbs and perpendicular to the pipe axle, you must use adjusted cut equipment.

WELDING TECHNIQUE DESCRIPTION WITH MANUAL WELDING MACHINESYSTEM ADEQUATE USE RECOMMENDATIONS

The connection between fittings and pipes is made by fusion at 260ºC, with adjusted equipment supplied by Heliroma. You just have to connect the equipment at a 220v electrical circuit and wait. The intermittent green light will indicate that you reach the welding temperature. In this exactly moment you can start work. With the polywelder, simultaneously heat the fitting and the correspondent depth of the pipe making a little pressure of both agains’t warm polywelder bush. Passed the needed time to heat pipe and fitting, join both without interruption. During a short period (3s) you can make little adjustments to the welded pieces (rotations never superiors to 30º). After some seconds the fusion will be at his high resistance level.

Note: Heating times starts from the moment when pipe and fitting are correctly positioned in the bushes.

THERMAL DILATATION

You can define Thermal dilatation as the system dilatation concerning with it own measures, with origin in the installation temperatures and also in the work temperature variations. Because of this, you must always consider the way that the pipe will be installed: inside the wall or the floor, or installed outside the wall or floor. The first situation won’t be the most preoccupying one because the material that makes the system coverage during the dilatations absorbs these changes. In the second case the thermal dilatation must be considered, it means that the material contraction and dilatation must compensate all the dimensions, preventing in this way future problems.

L fitting pipe L P M P F L Linear Thermal Dilatation Calculation

• Initial Length of the Pipe, in temperature T0 (m)
• End Length of the Pipe, in temperature T (m)
• Linear Dilatation (L-L0) (mm)
• Pipe temperature variation, in °C (T-T0)
• Linear Dilatation Coefficient, in mm/mºC; for the PP-R Pipe

the Linear Dilatation Coefficient (Table Value) is:

a = 0.15mm/m ºC

Compensation of the Thermal Dilatations by Dilatation Curves

Dilatation curves are similar to two dilatation arms and they are always used when a dilatation arm can’t absorb all the system dilatation.

The formulation to calculate the dilatation curve is the below described: Lc - Curve Minimal Width (mm) ∆ L - Linear Dilatation (mm) ms - Security Minimal = 150 mm

LC = 2 x ∆L + ms

Exemple: PP-R bar Dimension = 4 metros Pipe Diameter = 25 mm ∆T = 40ºC Thermal Dilatation Calculation ∆ L = 4 x 0.15 x 40 = 24 mm Calculation of the dilatation arm length for the previous example Ls = 20 x 25 x 24 = 20 x 24.5 = 490 mm Dilatation Curve Calculation Lc = 2 x 24 + 150 = 198 mm

QUALITY MANAGEMENT

Reception inspection All the raw materials are strictly inspected (Reception Test and Inspection Proceeds – P.I.E.R.), in agreement with previously defined regulation rules of the Standars. Production inspection Inspection Plans of the Production process were implemented in agreement with the regulation rules of the Standars and Certification Entities demands, which ones were communicated to the production employees with the objective of prevent fails during its practical application. Dimensions in the production are inspected every hour (Diameter, Thickness and Printed Information). Once per shift, as minimum, the Quality Manager make a projecting control in way to verify all the defined demands on the production check-list. Laboratory inspection After the production inspection approval, all the pipes and fittings must wait for the test results of the laboratory. For this stage were also defined Inspection plans and laboratory tests – P.I.E.L. based on the Standars and Certification Entities demands. Periodically these equipments are calibrated by Certified Entities. Pipes and Fittings Tests Description Melt Flow Index (MFI) – This test refers to the mass amount determination that passes through calibrated orifice (die head). At 230ºC temperature during a defined period of time and charged with 2,160 Kg. The final result has to be a lower then 30% difference concerning with the Melt Flow Index of the raw material. Longitudinal Warm Deformation – This test consists in the attainment of a pipe with a defined length, which one is placed inside of a greenhouse during a defined period of time and temperature. A distance is marked in the pipe and under the same conditions it is measured after and before the pipe heating in the greenhouse. Deformation is calculated in percentage of the length variation concerning with the initial length. 0ºC Impact resistance by Charpy method – The samples are prepared in agreement with the specified measures and they are placed in a bath at 0ºC during a defined period of time. These samples are submitted to impact energy of 15J. This is a test pass/fail, so because of this the test could not have any fails. Internal Pressure Resistance Test in water-water environment – For this test the samples are selected with a free length of at least 250mm. After samples preparation, they are submitted to a Specific and Constant Internal Hydrostatic pressure, during a defined period while which can not happen any fails.

Romafaser pipe have a dilatation value around 30% less than similar pipes. One of the most important issues on this kind of pipe is the fact of all that layers of the pipe are completely joined, getting in this way a better behavior than the Stabi pipe which one has not all the layers completely joined because the aluminum layer is not welded with the other ones.

Romafaser advantages comparing with Aluminium foiled PP-R pipe

Heliroma’s Romafaser pipe is the result of a long experience that makes it the most recent and more technological developed pipe of the moment facing normal PP-R pipe.

ADVANTAGES THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

The main objective to create ROMAFASER was to reduce the dilatations:

• 1. Romafaser pipe dilatation is 8 up to 10 times lower than a normal PP-R pipe and a Stabi PP-R pipe (Aluminium foiled PP-R pipe) just reduce it in 6 times.
• 2. Dilatation control of Romafaser pipe is made from the middle of its own body with Glass fibre molecules melted in the raw material.

In this way, it is possible to control the dilatation phenomenon from the middle of pipe body preventing the Hoop Stress phenomenon. Stabi pipes have a strong tension between aluminium and PP-R layers happening sometimes the separation of the layers.

Its also impossible to weld PP-R with Aluminium. Note that Romafaser pipe have all its layers completely melted getting in the end a pipe similar to one single layer pipe. Welding Romafaser pipe is directly placed in the polywelder bush without additional proceeds getting a weld between pipe and fittings as in normal PP-R pipe. However, a stabi pipe requires previous proceeds to take off the aluminium layer to be possible to weld pipe and fittings. This proceed of take off the aluminium layer from stabi pipe is made under the use of a special tool and one is need for each diameter. This is an essential proceed with stabi pipe requiring a big effort, time and hand-work for each weld. Furthermore, with Romafaser pipe this proceed is absolutely unnecessary keeping a bigger security level and also keeping the original diameter according the DIN8077 DIN 8078 standards. Bigger flow capacity, consequence of reduced thickness’s. Weight reduce being easier to handle the pipe. Being the Linear Dilatation coefficient very similar to metallic pipes, its possible to increase the pipe support distances and reduce the dilatation arms.

In the following tables you can check the relation between work temperatures, pressure, years of work and also the difference between regular PP pipe and Romafaser.
