5.3 POLYPROPYLENE RANDOM PIPES & Jointing

5.3.1 Jointing Techniques

The surfaces of the pipes and fittings must be clean and without
impurities. Pipe ends must be clean, cut at right angles. It is
recommended to cut 1cm from the pipe ends in order to prevent
possible micro-cracking due to incautious handling.
Before carrying out the welding, check that the poly-fusion device
operates correctly and that it reaches the required welding
temperature (260oC + 5).
Jointing is done by heat fusion (welding) by means of welding
machine. Welding is carried out by means of heating
simultaneously the male and female parts to be joined together,
once the welding temperature is reached the joint is made and
held for cooling time. (see table I below )

5.3.2 Welding Instructions using socket welding machine

i. Check whether the welding tool corresponds to the size

you need to join.

5100-15
 ii. The welding tool/device has reached the necessary
operating temperature of 260oC +10
iii. Cut the pipe at right angles to the pipe axis by using
cutter or a hack saw.
iv. Clean the pipe from burrs, cutting and chips
v. Mark the welding depths at the end or pipe
vi. Push the end of pipe up to the marked welding depths in
the welding tool, at the same time push the fitting, into
the welding tool.
vii. After the stipulated heating time quickly remove pipe and
fitting from the welding tools and join them immediately,
forcing the pipe into the fitting until the marked welding
depth is covered by the bead of Polypropylene from the
fitting
viii. The joint elements have to be fixed and aligned within
the specified assembly time.
ix. After the cooling time the fused joint is ready for use.
The heating time starts when pipe and fitting have been
pushed to the correct welding depth in the welding tool

5.3.4 Installation Principles

5.3.4.1 Fastening technique for open installation

The selection of fastening material and its

application have to be determined as:-

1. Fixed Point
2. Sliding Point

Pipe clamps are such as to meet all requirements and

ensure that no mechanical damage on the pipe surface
can occur.

5100-16
 5.3.4.2 Fixed Point

Valves and connections resisting to bending

stresses have to be fastened by means of
points. In particular cases the fixed points are
to be positioned closed to branches or wall
passages. The axial expansion will be
compensated between two points. The assess
the resistance of the fixed points one has to
take into account the stresses to which they will
be subjected, caused by linear expansion,
weight of the piping and weight of the
transportation fluid. Fixed points should be
delimited on both sides of the clamp, availing
oneself of the rim fittings or valves.

5.3.4.3 Sliding Point

The sliding points must keep the system

aligned and support it, and allow the axial
sliding of the piping as well. The sliding are to
be firmly mounted in order to prevent vibration
and transmission of noise.

Distance between the support points in cm.
