10 EMS The advanced beta crystalline PP-RC
EMS The advanced beta crystalline PP-RCT Polypropylene in Niron allows for a wide range of every day and technically-challenging applications to be handled. Nirons state-of-the-art PP-RCT materials are not limited to sanitary applications (e.g. potable water, and HVAC applications), as the exceptionally strong and stable beta-crystalline matrix of the polymer allows for its use in the harshest conditions. New coextrusion technologies together with the advanced resin allow for Niron to be used in extremely dicult conditions including:1) water that is sanitized beyond normal means using harsh reagents such as free chlorine and 2) applications involving harsh chemical substances added to water, e.g. in cooling towers where new of free chlorine are used (a major enemy of most traditional materials, including standard PPR);3) increased operating pressures, especially at elevated temperatures;4) applications with exceptionally high ow rates and velocities (especially in air-conditioning system

s of large buildings). Niron is avaIlable in pipe sizes up to 40 inch in monolayer pipes and up to 24 inch for Niron FR systems (pipe which is manufactured with berglass layers to limit thermal expansion and contraction). Niron is available in a variety of pressure classes to allow for the widest possible range of applications, in both monolayer types, as well as in Niron FR piping. Niron is also extruded with a wide variety of optional internal and external linings to provide protection against oxidation due to sunlight, internal or external chemical attack, or to add re resistance.

The systems are available in a wide variety of congurations, identied through colored coatings, colored stripes and other markings to identify their class of service.NIRON PP-RCT PIPING SYSTEMS allow the transport of hot and cold uids for a variety of services in commercial, residential, food, health, institutional, industrial, and chemical markets. The systems can be used in a very wide variety of systems involving many dierent kinds of aggressive uids and services. The systems are excellent in hot and cold services alike, from applications as diverse as hot geothermal/hydronic distribution piping to chilled water applications in air conditioning systemsThe types of buildings and structures in which Niron PP-RCT piping can be applied are widely varied and include l

iping Systems Chilled water is used to cool the air in a building and the equipment for refrigeration units, especially when many individual rooms must be separately controlled (e.g. a hotel). Chilled water is produced by an individual unit sized according to the dimensions of the room to serve. The advantage provided by the size of the refrigeration unit is based on the principles of economy of scale. As a consequence, the greater the size of the refrigera-tion unit, the lower its power consumption. According to these considerations, it is necessary to rely on an en-ergy ecient material, such as our Niron PP-RCT pipe and tting system. Niron PP-RCT piping systems can provide saving requirements in terms of: reduced pip-ing insulation, lower heat transmission, quicker installa-tion times and reduced head loss.Thanks to the Niron PP-RCT piping systems, commer-cial buildings can lower total installed costs for the pip-ing portions of these systems 20% or more.

In a water recycling system, wastewater or rain-water is routed to a central sump basin to be re-cycled. The sump then moves the water through some ltration stages and starts a d

isinfection cycle before entering the storage tank. On a pre-determined schedule, a timer controlled pump recirculates water in the storage tank through the entire ltration process to maintain it clear and bacteria free. Recycled water in the storage tank is drawn out by a pressure regulated pump. When the irrigation timer turns on or a toilet is ushed, the system automatically provides the recycled water stored in the storage tank. When the storage tank is full, excess water drains into the sewage system. For commercial building owners the need to store water is a mandatory requirement. Ad-ditionally, it is simply the right thing to do, both from a nancial and environmental point of view. Resort, hotel and shopping mall owners who have to deal with a high number of visitorsare increasing water storage especially in arid climates where lush foliage and landscaping is mandatory for visitors. The use of recycled water will have a huge im-pact on operating costs and protability. There- fore, NIR

THERMAL INSULATION PUR The insulation of the primary pipe is made with a highly energy ecient rigid polyurethane foam. The coecient of thermal conductivity is 1.67 BTU-inch/hr-ftF (0.24 W/m°K) when measured at a temperature of 68°F (20°C).This excellent characteristic of the PUR insulation allows high levels of thermal insulation value with signicantly reduced insulation thickness compared to that which would be required com-pared to other insulating materials.In addition, due to its closed cell structure, under normal conditions of use it does not experience any transformation caused by water absorption, compression, sacking, etc. JACKET PIPE PVC The polyurethane insulation layer is protected by jacket piping and ttings made from either rigid PVC or High Density Polyethylene (HDPE).

PP-RCT is resistant to alkalis and instead shows some weakness against some strong acids. NO SCALING The inner smoothness of pipes prevents the formation of scale. LIMITED HEAT LOSS AND CONDENSATION Like all plastics, PP-RCT is a poor heat conductor, and is therefore an excellent thermal insulator. Where it is allowed by the energy code, the amount of insulation can be reduced or eliminated. FROST RESISTANCE The elasticity of PP-RCT allows the pipe to increase its section when the volume of the iced uid inside changes. SUITABLE FOR USE IN SEISMIC HAZARD AREAS This feature is recognized by international boards of experts, as polypropylene is resilient within the st

ructure of a building. RESISTANCE TO STRAY Polypropylene is a very poor conductor of electricity, so no perforation in the pipe or ttings will ever occur due to stray currents. LIMITED HEAD LOSS NIRON pipes have limited head loss because their surface is smooth and presents no scaling. LOWER NOISE OF THE SYSTEM The elasticity and the sound absorption of the material absorb and prevent the spread of noise and vibrations due to the passage of water and the water hammer eect. DURABILITY Lifetimes of more than 1,000 years (depending on wall thickness, temperatures and working pressures). RESISTANCE TO ABRASION The high abrasion resistance of NIRON PIPING SYSTEMS allows the passage of water at high speed without erosion problems. PP-RCT Piping Systems 2.1.1 POLThe polypropylene used in the NIRON PP-RCT PIPING SYSTEM is a special type of Random Copolymer with high molecular weight and which has extensive beta crystalline formation of the molecules.

49 GWARNINGS AND PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATION
GWARNINGS AND PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONSSocket fusion welding is one of the most widely used joining techniques for the in-stallation of heat fusible thermoplastic piping such us as PP, PE and PVDF. There are just a few and simple steps necessary to complete it, but they require the attention of the contractor.Welding equipment check:The welding equipment to be used must be inspected and checked thoroughly to insure they are in proper working condition.In particular you should carry out the following operations:- Check the functioning of the thermostat by measuring the temperature on the surface of the bushings with an appropriate contact thermometer 500°F (260°C). - If you are using a bench machine, check the functioning of the clamps and the handling system of the welding machine so as to ensure the proper alignment of the parts to be welded.

50 … Inspect the integrity of the non-
… Inspect the integrity of the non-stick coating of the bushings. PP-RCT Piping Systems When a perfect socket fusion welding of the NIRON PP-RCT PIPING SYSTEM has been properly carried out, the welded joint will result in homogeneus bond. If the joint is sectioned, you will not able to distinguish where the pipe ends and the tting begins.3.2.2 SOCKET FUSION WELDING: FITTINGS Assemble the male and female heater bushings on the cold plate and connect the welder to the power network. Wait for the sound or light signal (see the users manual of the welder) that informs that the actual temperature is reached. Cut the tube perpendicularly to its axis using the suitable pipe cutter. After cutting, bevel the square cut end of the pipe to pro-duce a 15° bevel using the Niron beveling tool, or other suitable bevelling tool.Mark the insertion depth on the pipe for type A sockets according to the chart provided. A second mark should be made a distance of 1/16 inches past the rst mark. The rst mark

51 will be hidden from view after welding b
will be hidden from view after welding by the weld bead when properly made. The second mark allows for visual inspection to verify that depth of insertion marking was performed after the external bead is formed.Make a longitudinal mark as a reference on the external surfaces of the pipe and tting to avoid turning the com-ponents to be welded while performing the welding pro-cedure (do not cut the surface of the pipe and tting). PP-RCT Piping Systems Although it is required in international standards (e.g. in DVS 2207-11, part 5) that the pipe surface and interior of the socket be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol prior to welding, this is viewed as highly conservative and is only necessary if the parts have signs of containing dirt, grease and other contaminents. If the parts are in clean condition(e.g. they have been taken from their factory packaging and there is no sign of contamination), then cleaning is not necessary). Place the ends to be welded close to each other to be able to begin the he

52 ating process of the com-ponents simulta
ating process of the com-ponents simultaneously. After checking the surface temperature of both of the bushings, insert the pipe into the female bushing without rotating it and the tting over the male bushing up to the depth previously marked. This position should be main-tained for the heating time as shown in table A (page 56). Do not heat up the parts to be welded twice. During the heating, be careful not to put excessive for-ce on the parts as this might cause the female heater bushing to melt too far into the tting or coupling socket. After the heating time, quickly remove the elements from the bushings and insert them one inside the other, within the maximum changeover time, until you reach the inser-tion depth previously marked.Be careful not to rotate the pipe into the tting and ca-refully align the reference longitudinal signs. Keep the welded parts together under force for the time shown in the cool down time (clamped) in Table A. Then, allow the welded parts to cool according to

54 s allow reduced branches to be made dire
s allow reduced branches to be made directly onto larger diameter pipes . They also allow for the fabrication of pipe headers (e.g. for water meters). Drill a hole in the pipe with the proper Niron cutter (item code 00FGS) at the point where you want to make a new branch reduction.Make sure that the parts to be welded (especially the pipe) are clean and dry. It is highly recommended, but not required that the surfaces to be welded be scraped and prior to cleaning, especially when it is a possibility that the pipe may have been exposed to sunlight.Check that the welder and die pairs have reached the correct operating temperature of 500°F (260°C). Insert the male die pair into the pipe hole until the concave part touches the outer surface of the pipe. PP-RCT Piping Systems Insert the tting into the female die pair simultaneously. The contact times between die pairs, tting and pipe shall be those listed in Table A in the Socket Fusion section. The size of the reduced branch is the size that dictat

55 es the times to be followed from Table A
es the times to be followed from Table A. For example, if the branch size is 1", then use the heat up time indicated in Table A for the 1" size. In any case, a visual check should be performed during the heating to insure that there is a double bead around the entire contact area of the weld surfaces.After a cooling time of 10 minutes, the new joint can be pressure tested or placed into operation. This diersfrom normal socket fusion in that this time is longer in all cases compared to the times shown in Table A.When making double pipe arrays for water meters we suggest to: € Mark in advance the two opposing drilling axes. € Make all the holes at the same time with a proper drill bit. € Make the joints in a staggered manner.Once the heating time is over, immediately insert the wel-ding saddle into the heated hole without turning. The t-ting must be perfectly xed and pressed against the pipe surface for about 30 seconds. PP-RCT Piping Systems 3.2.4 POLYFUSION WELDING: REPAIR OF A PIPE DAMAGE

D BY NAILS OF SCREWSThis system applies when a pipe or a tting have been pierced on one side (e.g. by a nail or drill) and perpendicularly to their axis. Enlarge the hole up to a diameter of 6 mm (approx. ¼Ž) or 10 mm (approx.Ž) with a suitable drill bit. Make sure that the hole caused by the puncture has not damaged the other inner surface of the pipe or tting.Insert the proper size male die pair into the pipe hole and the repair cap into the female die pair.After the insertion, heat up for 5 seconds.Once the heating time is over, insert the male plug (rod) cap inside the hole without rotating. PP-RCT Piping Systems Wait for a cooling time of 1 minute and cut the cap.The picture shows how the pipe looks after the repair.

e welding machines by means of a set of connecting wire leads.When voltage is applied and electrical energy is circulated, this creates resistance which generates the heat needed to melt the PP-RCT material.Energy is directly transmitted to the contact surface between the tting and the pipe causing heat welding of the parts.The main features of NIRON electrofusion ttings are the high quality, repeatability and the reliability of the joints. After a joint is completed and is allowed to cool, the joint is homogeneous, strong, safe and reliable.WELDING BARCODE (in conformity with standard ISO13956)Scan the barcode with the barcode scanner or manually enter the welding parame-ters of time and voltage reported on the barcode. The welding procedure may be carried out by using the multifunction welding unit in automatic mode (with barco-de scanner) or in manual mode. When performing automatic welding, always check time and voltage parameters on the display after scanning the barcode. In case of man

ual welding, use time and voltage parameters indicated on the barcode. If the welding unit selected in not a Nupi Americas unit, and does not perform welding time compensation according to ambient temperature, use the parameters on the bag label.N.B.: Keep at a safe distance during the welding procedure.  PP-RCT Piping Systems Use NIRON welding units (when possible) and follow the instructions below to obtain a reliable weld.Cut the pipes at right angles with a pipe cutter. ATTENTION! Note that the cutting of Niron PP-RCT pipes to result in a square cut is a critical step in the process of electrofusion.Scrape the pipe or tting spigot surface uniformly withthe appropriate pipe scraper. Scrape at least / Ž (1 cm)beyond the insertion length of the tting to comple-telyremove the oxidized polypropylene layer. The pipe ortting spigot surface must be marked with a sharpieprior to scraping and the mark must be removed byscraping (The depth of insertion mark will be reappliedafter cleaning

59 .... see below). The pipe/spigot surface
.... see below). The pipe/spigot surfacemust be scraped to a mi-nimum depth of 0.2mm(0.0079 inch) in order to be con-sidered properlyscraped. If the pipe/spigot ts too tightly into thesocket, the scraping step should be repeated until alight press t is obtained.Niron mechanical scrapers are highly recommended.Hand scrapers can be used only if proper technique isfol-lowed to result in 0.2 mm (0.0079 inches) removed. ATTENTION! The pipe/spigot surface must be scraped to a minimum depth of 0.2mm (0.0079 inch) in order to be considered properly scraped.Additional scraping can be performed, if necessary,in order to achieve a light press t of the pipe/spigotinto the socket.Remove any mud, dust, grease or other traces of dirt from the pipe or spigot ends of ttings to be welded and the welding area of the interior of the tting or coupling. Use only isopropanol (Isopropyl Alcohol) and a soft clean wi-ping cotton cloth (note that for best results, use the purest form of Isopropyl Alcohol available, pr

eferably 99% grade where available). Wait until the cleaned parts are comple-tely dry. PP-RCT Piping Systems Measure the insertion length of the pipe inside the tting.Insert the pipe or spigot ends into the tting up to the marked insertion length. In the case of welding parts that must be forced into alignment, or are substantially unsup-ported (including vertical risers), use an Niron alignment tool in order to maintain the position. Be sure to avoid any mechanical stress during the welding procedure and co-oling time. ATTENTION! Avoid any mechanical stress on the welding area during the welding procedure and the cooling time. IMPORTANT Please refer to the users manual of the welding machine for its correct use.Mark the welding insertion depth on the pipe (equal to the length of the electrofusion tting socket) using a shar-pie. Note that unlike the marking step required for scra-ping, this mark should be exactly the length required for insertion and welding. The scraped marks should extend

61 at least 3/8 inches past this mark. PP-
at least 3/8 inches past this mark. PP-RCT Piping Systems At the end of the welding procedure, disconnect the cables and wait for the cooling time indicated on the bar- code. Prior to disconnecting the cables, note the weld number and mark the coupling or tting with the last three digits of the machine serial number and the weld number. The welding data can be downloaded using a USB pen drive or instantly printed through a printer. The exact position of the joint can be recorded only for SMART models.When the cooling time is over, remove any aligners that were used and start the pressure test by using the pressure test unit. ATTENTION! Always check the welding parameters before starting the welding procedure.Prepare the pipe and tting to be welded following the di-rections in the previous chapter. Make sure that the pipe and tting to be welded are lined up without any possi-bility of movement (use a suitable aligner whenever it is possible or practical to do so).Connect the welding cables t

PP-RCT Piping Systems BUTT FUSION WELDING INTRODUCTIONThe butt welding process consists of the joining of two components (pipes and/or ttings) of equal diameter and thickness in which the surfaces to be welded are heated until melting by contact with a heating element and then, after its removal, are axially (butt) joined by welding with an applied force. Like Polyfusion and Electrofusion, with butt fusion welding there is no additional contribution or use of ller materials (i.e. welding rod or ux) required to complete the weld. The instructions below are for guidance only. Unlike socket fusion, butt fusion welding im-plies that the operators are suitably trained on the use of specic welding machines to be used and have a thorough knowledge of the procedures to be performed. Training is machine-specic, as many details will vary based on specic machine used. ATTENTION! Each manufac

turer of BUTT FUSION WELDING equipment publish his/her own reference literature based on the working parameters of the equipment produced. The user SHALL REFER to this specic literature for every detail not expressly stated and for any reference information regarding the equipment.3.4.2 RECOMMENDATIONS AND WARNINGSTo perform a proper fusion procedure and ensure a reliable joint, it is necessary to remem-ber the following steps:€ The working temperature of the heating element shall be checked using a calibrated contact thermometer. This measurement shall be done after about 10 minutes after the nominal temperature is reached, allowing the heating element to heat up evenly over the entire section.€ Check the surface of the heating element (integrity of the non-stick layer) and pro-perly clean it by using soft paper or cloth, free of bers.€ Check for the proper functioning of the welding machine.€ Check the clamp supports of the welding machine to make sure that the pieces to be welded are proper

64 ly aligned and the surfaces touching eac
ly aligned and the surfaces touching each other are parrallel.€ Check the drag force of the movable bed to be sure that it is free to move and that can handle the load required to weld the pipes and/or  ttings.€ Check the e ciency of the measuring equipment (pressure gauge and timer).€ Check that the pipes and/or ttings to be welded are of the same diameter and the same thickness (SDR).€ The planing tool provided with the welding machine shall plane and align the pipes and ttings to be welded and also absorb the pressures developed during the wel-ding process without damaging the pipe and tting ends.€ The welding machine should be prepared for use according to the manufacturers instructions. PP-RCT Piping Systems 3.4.3 BUTT FUSION WELDING PROCEDUREPREPARATION FOR WELDINGCleaning the surfacesBefore positioning the parts to be welded, clean the wel-ding area to remove any dust, grease or dirt.Locking the endsThe pipes and/or ttings must be locked in the clamps of the welding machine so that

the contact surfaces to be welded are aligned between them. The possibility of axial movement without signicant friction shall be ensured by using rollers or oscillating suspensions to allow the pipe sliding to remove any mechanical stress from the clamps resulting from the weight of the locked pipes.The pipes and/or ttings shall be positioned so as to con-tain the misalignment within 10%. To obtain this result, ro-tate at least one of the elements until the most favorable match-up of the pipe ends reached and/or the locking for-ce exerted on the fastening systems of the clamps is not excessive as it could damage the surfaces of the compo-nents.Planing (milling) the edges to be weldedThe ends of the two components to be welded shall be planed to ensure adequate plane parallelism and to remo-ve any trace of oxide. The planing operation shall be carried out by bringing the parts close to each other only when the milling cutter in-serted between them is working and by exerting gradual pressure su

ch as not to stop the tool and prevent excessive heating of the surfaces in contact.The planing chips must be formed continuously on both edges to be welded: otherwise, investigate the cause and repeat the process until the required result is reached.The planer must be turned o only after the removal of the ends to be welded. PP-RCT Piping Systems After the planing procedure is nished, planing chips shall be removed from the inner surface and the surrounding area of the elements to be welded, by using a brush or a clean cloth, free of bers, u and lint and not synthetic, soaked in a suitable cleaning liquid (e.g. isopropyl alcohol, trichloroethane chlorothene). Do not use any solvent such as gasoline, denatured alcohol or trichlorethylene.The planed surfaces shall not be touched or otherwise contaminated.At the end of this phase, bring the two ends into contact, and check to see that the space between the two edges must not exceed the value of 0.02 inches (0.5 mm), a value that is half way b

The design temperature of the piping is either the maximum uid temperature expected during operation or testing, or the ambient temperature surrounding the piping, whichever is greater. If the ambi-ent temperature at installation is lower than the nal temperature during building start-up and normal operation then thermal expansion will occur in the Niron Piping

83 (this will occur if the installation is
(this will occur if the installation is performed in an unheated building during winter conditions). To account for and control the potential bending and twisting of the pipes between supports, add the net dierence between 70F and the expected low installation temperature to the design temperature. This will result in an increase in the design temperature. As an example, if the installation temperature is 40F and the design temperature is 120F, add 70F to the design temperature of 120F, to equal 30F. The support spacing in this example should be based on 150 PP-RCT Piping Systems HEAT LOSSMany places require that the hot water temperature at the point of use is maintained at a certain level and requires the insulation of all piping. The thickness of the insulation layer depends on its thermal conductivity and the pipe diameter.

PP-RCT Piping Systems SYSTEM TESTINGThe testing of Niron piping systems should be carried out through hydrostatic or pneumatic testing. Hydrostatic testing is outlined as follows: 1 Fill the system slowly to vent it (do not fully tighten the highest plugs to be closed until water comes out with a continuous jet). Bring the pressure up to the test pressure. The test pressure should be a minimum of 1.5 times the design pressure of the system, or alternatively up to 220 psi. Note that thermoplastic pipes such as Niron PP-RCT pipes will expand upon initially pressurizing them. For that reason, the pressure should be increased two (2) more times every 10 minutes. 3 Measure the pressure after the rst 30 minutes.

143 Read the pressure after another 30 min
Read the pressure after another 30 minutes (one hour from the end of step 2). If the dierence is less than or equal to 3.5% of the pressure measured after the 2nd re-pressurization step (the pressure measured at the 30 minute mark after ini-tial pressurization), then the actual 1 hour testŽ can be started from this pressure point. During this time, the system should be visually inspected to determine if there are visual leaks noted. After the one (1) hour test, the maximum pressure drop must be 1.5% or less from the pressure point when the one hour test was started. If there are no leaks, and the pressure drop in step 5 is less than 1.5% (i.e. no more than 5% overall from the 30 minute mark), the test is considered to have passing results. The results of this test shall be recorded. 7 As an example, the initial test pressure is 220psi. After ten minutes, the system drops to 210 psi and is repressurized to 220 psi (@ the 10 minute mark). After another ten minutes, it drops again to 212

144 psi and is repressurized again to 220 ps
psi and is repressurized again to 220 psi (@ the 20 minute mark). Then after ten additional minutes (@ the 30 minute mark), the pressure recorded is 214 psi. Since this is less than a 3% drop from the pressure measured at the 30 minute mark, the one hour test can then be started. After 60 minutes from the start, the nal pressure recorded is 212 psi with no leaks (i.e. less than a 1% drop in pressure). This was a successful test.NOTENIRON systems can be tested with compressed air in lieu of water at the sole risk of the installing contractor (Nupi Americas does not assume or accept any liability ba-sed on the decision by the installing contractor to test with compressed air). When considering an air test, special precautions must be taken due to the inherent dan-gers of testing with compressed air. Please refer to Nupi Americas printed recom-mendations for performing air testing and be sure to follow all local and national safety regulations in order to minimize the dangers due to compressed

145 air testing. Testing pressure shall be r
air testing. Testing pressure shall be reduced to the maximum pressure rating of the lowest rated element of the system, which is often components other than the NIRON components, if these lower rated components can not be isolated during testing.
