  FLXT® Pipe Solution

 Polypropylene Pipe & Fittings
 

Introduction:

It is more than one decade that old metal pipe have lost their place, and they were discarded by: putrefaction, lack of resistance against atmospheric conditions and humidity, lack of resistance against freezing, high abrasion, high friction, vital necessity for insulation, low resistance against chemical materials, pressure loss and so on . Among materials which have been substituted by metals, polymers are outstanding . Base on German DIN standard and global ISO standard, the best material for making transferring potable water pipes is made of polypropylene, Random Co - Polypropylene type III , abbreviated to P.P.R.C type III, since this material has flexibility features, resistance against stroke and better tolerance against thermal tensions than other polypropylene grades .

Fields of Application:

 As non-corrosive materials, plastics offer obvious advantages compared with metal pipes. Leakage in the systems due to corroded pipes is avoided. This is a specific concern today when water quality is not always appropriate for metal pipes, e.g. low PH value. Most plastic systems for hot and cold applications are designed to have a maintenance-free lifetime of at least 50 years. The superior physical and mechanical characteristics of PP (Polypropylene Random Copolymer – type 3) from FLXT® makes it ideal for all hot & cold Applications like:

 -Hot and cold water piping networks in residential and commercial buildings: e.g. Hospitals, Hotels, Offices, Stadiums, School Buildings, etc.

 -Chilled water piping networks in air - conditioning systems as an effective light weight and corrosion free were substituted by steel pipes.

- Piping networks for heating systems.

- Transportation of wide range of chemicals in the industry.

Advantages  of FLXT®  PP Pipes & Fittings

manufactured by FLXT®:

  • Prevention Of light transmission from pipes in order to prohibit micro - organism growth

  • Presence of a guide line in all pipes and fittings  to increase speed and quality of piping

  • Fast and easy installation

  • Resistance against corrosion

  • Resistance against chemicals

  • Lack of precipitation and decay

  • Lucid and pretty appearance

  • Tiny pressure loss

  • Noise proof


FLXT® has made all necessity fittings for piping such as : tee – pieces, elbows, reducers , unions, etc and its installation instruments . The reliability of pipe installation depends on pipe/fitting joints as well as the material used in their production. Concerning on the hot & cold system, all pipes and fittings are manufactured from the same material and result in homogeneous joints. Mainly two techniques are used to join PPR Pipes and Fittings. The principle characteristic of PPR is the possibility to make a molecular bond by means of welding.

Electro Fusion Welding:

 To install FLXT® pipes and fittings you must use electro fusion welding. By this welding method, steady and safe welding will be acquired .

FLXT® PP Pipes With Aluminum Foil

 FLXT® pipes are also available with un-perforated Aluminum foil which makes them more stable when they compared with other plastic pipes without foil. In addition, they have 100% oxygen barrier on the pipes. As a result, FLXT® PP pipes with Aluminum foil are the best choice for radiator and boiler systems. The PP systems from FLXT® provide a combination of benefits in handling hot and cold water such as:

- 100% oxygen barrier

- Higher pressure grade

- Improves the rigidity even at higher temperatures

- Lower thermal expansion
