ABOUT US
Astral Poly Technik Ltd is very proud to introduce CHLORINATED POLY VINYL CHLORIDE [CPVC] for the first time into this part of the globe, under license from Lubrizol, [formerly Noveon, USA] under brand name Astral FlowGuard CPVC. It is also manufacturing Industrial Piping System under brand name Astral Corzan CPVC. It has a techno commercial joint venture with Specialty Process LLC, USA, the world leaders of manufacturing FlowGuard CPVC Pipes and Fittings in USA since last 32 Years. Astral FlowGuard pipes and fittings, manufactured by Astral Poly Technik Ltd, are made from the specialty plastic, chemically known as Chlorinated Poly Vinyl Chloride [CPVC]. This CPVC compound meets cell class 23447 B as defined by ASTM D1784 and have a design stress of 2000 PSI and a maximum service temperature upto 93C. Pipes are produced in copper tube size (CTS) from 15 mm (") to 50 mm (2") with two different standard dimensional ratios - SDR-11 and SDR-13.5. The fittings are produced as per SDR 11. All Astral CPVC SDR 11 and SDR 13.5 pipes are made from identical CPVC compound material having same physical properties. The CPVC fittings are manufactured from compound material which meets all the requirement as per ASTM standard. CPVC pipes of Copper Tube Size (CTS) dimensions can also be applied to CPVC (IPS) dimensions by using IPS x CTS fittings. The CPVC pipes from 15 mm (") to 50 mm (2") are also produced as per IS 15778 standard in both class that is Class 1 (SDR 11) and Class 2 (SDR 13.5). Apart from having the same physical properties, SDR 11 and SDR 13.5 which are having different wall thickness and therefore, at any given temperature, they have different pressure ratings. For e.g. Astral also produces FlowGuard pipes in iron pipe size (IPS), available sizes are 65 mm (2") to 100 mm (4") in SCH 40 and 65mm (2") to 300 mm (12") in SCH 80 which meets the requirements of ASTM F 441.

WHY

PIPE AND FITTINGS ARE THE BEST CHOICE FOR HOT AND COLD POTABLE WATER DISTRIBUTION ?
Astral FlowGuard CPVC
piping system has winning edge over any other piping systems. Here are few parameters which make Astral FlowGuard hot and cold water plumbing system stands as best in comparison to any other outdated plumbing system

THE RAW MATERIAL

FlowGuard is a Hot and Cold Potable Water Distribution System made of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) for use in single and multi-family homes, apartments, high-rises, hotel/motels and commercial installations. FlowGuard CPVC has been used for hot and cold water distribution in the United States since 1960. It has a history of superior performance and competitive prices compared to metal and other alternative piping systems. CPVC pipe and fittings are jointed by solvent cementing which, through chemical bonding, essentially makes the pipe and fitting become one continuous piece. Flowguard CPVC meets requirements of both ANSI/NSF standard 14-plastic piping system components and related materials-and standard 61- Drinking Water System, components-health affects. Included in these tests are strict standards and strict toxicological review relating to chemical extraction products, taste and odour produced in the water by the piping system. These tests ensure that all Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards for safe drinking water are met by the CPVC piping system.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Corrosion resistance
Astral CPVC Pipe gives excellent resistance even under the harshest of water conditions so there are none of the purity worries from corrosion of metal pipe or soldered joints. Astral CPVC Pipe keeps pure water pure.

Lower bacterial growth

Bacteria build up with CPVC is far lower than with alternative piping materials - Copper, Steel and other thermoplastics.

No Scale, pit or leach formation

Even after years of use in the most aggressive conditions, Astral CPVC pipe wont corrode, standing up to low pH water, coastal salt air exposures and corrosive soils. Astral CPVC Pipe stays as solid and reliable as the day it was installed. It maintains full water carrying Capacity because its scale resistance means no build up to cause water pressure loss.

Unaffected by chlorine in the water

Some materials may be adversely affected by chlorine contained in the water supply, which can cause breakdown of the polymer chains and potential leaks. In this respect, Astral CPVC pipe is unaffected by the chlorine present in potable water supply.

Low thermal expansion

Astral CPVC pipe has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than alternative plastics, reducing the amount that the pipe expands when hot water is running, again reducing unsightly looping of the pipe.

Easy Plumbing process

CPVC uses a simple, solvent cement jointing method. Tools required are very simple and inexpensive (chamfering tool and pipe cutter only) and avoid the need for an electrical source. Superior insulation : Astral CPVC pipe is more energy efficient than metal pipe. As an insulator it does not lose heat the way metal pipe do. Heat loss and thermal expansion are reduced.

Hot water compatible

Astral CPVC pipe is compatible with both hot and cold water. It withstand very high temperature compared to any other thermoplastic plumbing systems. Many solar and electric water heaters have CPVC piping system for heat efficiency and lower installation cost.

Tough, rigid material

Astral CPVC pipe has a much higher strength than other thermoplastics used in plumbing. This means that CPVC needs less hangers and supports and there is no unsightly looping of the pipe. Astral CPVC pipe Has a higher pressure bearing capability. This leads to the same flow rate with a smaller pipe size.

FLUID HANDLING CHARACTERISTIC OF ASTRAL FLOWGUARD PIPE

Linear Fluid Flow Velocity
The linear velocity of a flowing fluid in a pipe is calculated from : 0.4085g d2 Where V = Linear fluid flow velocity in feet per second g = Flow rate in gallons per minute d = Inside diameter of pipe in inches V = The values in the following tables are based on this formula. These values are accurate for all fluids. Linear fluids flows velocity in a system should generally be limited to 5 ft/s, particularly for pipe size 6 and grater. Following this guideline will minimize risk of hydraulic shock damage due to water hammer surge pressures. Nominal Size(mm) 1 1 1 2 2 3 4 6 8 10 12

Water Hammer Surge Pressure

Whenever the flow rate of fluid in a pipe is change, there is a surge in pressure known as water hammer, The longer the line and the faster the fluid is moving, the greater the hydraulic shock will be. Water hammer may be caused by opening or closing a valve, starting or stopping a pump, or the movement of entrapped air through the pipe. The maximum water hammer surge pressure may be calculated from : pV P 1 + d Pwh = gc K bE gc where Pwh = Maximum surge pressure, psi p = Fluid density V = Change in fluid velocity gc = Gravitational constant K = Bulk modulus of elasticity of fluid b = Pipe wall thickness E = Pipe material bulk modulus of elasticity d = Pipe inside diameter

Friction Loss in Pipes

A great advantage that Flowguard Pipe enjoys over its metallic competitors is a smooth inner surface which is resistant to scaling and fouling. This means that friction pressure losses in the fluid flow are minimized from the beginning and do not significantly increase as the system ages, as can be the case with metal pipes subject to scaling. The Hazen-Willims formula is the generally accepted method of calculating friction head losses in piping systems. The values in the following fluid tables are based on this formula and a surface roughness constants for other piping materials are given beside : 100 f =0.2083 X C where f d g c = = = =

The value in the following tables are based on this formula at 730F and the assumption that water flowing at a given rate of gallons per minute is suddenly completely stopped. At 180F, the surge pressure is approximately 15% less. The value for fluids other then water may be by multiplying by the square root of the fluids specific gravity. THE WATER HAMMER SURGE PRESSURE PLUS THE SYSTEM OPERATING PRESSURE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 1.5 TIMES THE RECOMMENDED WORKING SEPARATE RATING OF THE SYSTEM. In order to minimize hydraulic shock due to water hammer, linear fluid flow velocity should generally be limited to 5ft/s, particularly for pipe size of 6 or longer. Velocity at system start-up should be limited to 1 ft/s during filling until it is certain that all air has been brought up to operating conditions. Air should not be allowed to draw in air. Where necessary, extra protective equipment may be used to prevent water hammer damage, shock absorbers, surge arrestors and vacuum air relief valves.

Friction Loss in Fittings

Friction losses through fittings are calculated from the equivalent length of straigth pipe which would produce the same friction loss in the fluid. The equivalent lengths of pipe for common fittings are given here.

THERMAL EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION

Like all piping material, Flowguard CPVC expand when heated and contract when cooled. CPVC piping (regardless of pipe diameter) will expand about 1 inch per 50 feet of length when subjected to a 50 F temperature increase, therefore, allowances must be made for this resulting movement. However, laboratory testing and installation experience have demonstrated that the practical issues are much smaller than the coefficient of thermal expansion would suggest. The stresses developed in CPVC pipe are generally much smaller than those developed in metal pipe for equal temperature changes because of the difference in elastic modulus. Required loops are smaller than those recommended by the Copper Development Association for copper systems. Expansion is mainly a concern in hot water lines, Generally, thermal expansion can be accommodated with changes in direction. However, a long straight run may require an offset or loop. Only one expansion loop, properly sized is required in any single straight run, regardless of its total length. If more convenient, two or more smaller expansion loops, properly sized, can be utilized in a single run of pipe to accommodate the thermal movement. Be sure to hang pipe with smooth straps that will not restrict movement. For convenience, loop (or offset) length have been calculated for different pipe sizes and different run length with a temperature increase (DT) of about 80F. The results, shown in Tables A and B, are presented simply as a handy guide for quick and easy determinations of acceptable loop length for the approximate conditions. Loop length for other temperatures and run length can be calculated utilizing the following equations :

TRANSITION FITTINGS & JOINTS

Special transition fittings or joints are used whenever CPVC piping is connected to a metal valve, fittings, or other appurtenance such as a filter, or to parts made of another plastic. These special transition fittings can have many forms. One common form is the true union with a metal end and a CPVC end held together with a plastic or metal gland nut and having an elastomeric seal between them. Other forms are the flanged joint, the grooved joint, insert molded metal in CPVC fittings, patented push-on type fittings and finally the CPVC female threaded adapter with an elastomeric seal at the bottom of the thread. The later fittings are designed so that they have no thread interference and rely entirely on the elastomeric seal for water tightness. They require only minimal torque to attain an adequate seal. Standard compression fittings which utilize brass of plastic ferrules can be used to assemble CPVC. However, Teflon tape should be applied over the brass ferrule to compensate for the dissimilar thermal expansion rates of the brass and CPVC that could possibly otherwise result in a leak. Care should be taken not to over-torque the compression connection. Metal fittings with CPVC socket inserts are also available. The tubing is cemented directly into the socket in the same way as an all-CPVC fittings. The standard practice is to thread a male thread adapter into the female threaded part, such as a valve of stop, and then solvent cement to the CPVC pipe. However, when using the male thread adapter, there are two limitations that the installer must consider when deciding where and how to use it. First, the male thread adapter may develop a drip leak if the joint is subjected to too broad temperature range. And second, some thread sealants intended to minimize leak problems may chemically attack the CPVC and cause stress cracking of the adapter (see Thread Sealants section). The preferred method of transitioning between metal and CPVC plumbing component is to use an insert molded metal-in-CPVC fitting or true union with a metal and a CPVC end. A typical Hot and Cold Water Distribution system operating at 60-700C requires support for horizontal lines every 90cm for diameters of 32mm and below, and every 120cm on larger size. However, the following spacings are based on conservative engineering assumptions and can be used at water temperatures indicated. Vertical CPVC piping should be supported at each floor and should have a mid-story guide, unless thermal expansion design call for other provisions. Piping should not be anchored tightly by the supports, but secured in a manner to allow for a degree of movement caused by thermal expansion. Hangers of strapping with rough edges should not be used.

UNDERGROUND INSTALLATION
CPVC pipes and fittings can be installed underground. Since these piping systems are flexible systems, proper attention should be given to burial conditions. The stiffness of the piping system is affected by sidewall support, soil compaction, and the condition of the trench. Trench bottoms should be smooth and regular in either undisturbed soil or a layer of compacted backfill. Pipe must lie evenly on this surface throughout the entire length of its barrel. Excavation, bedding and backfill should be in accordance with the provision of the local Plumbing Code having jurisdiction.

TRENCHING
The following trenching and burial procedures should be used to protect the piping system. 1. The trench should be excavated to ensure the sides will be stable under all working conditions. 2. The trench should be wide enough to provide adequate room for the following : A. Joining the pipe in the trench. B. Snaking the pipe from side or side to compensate for expansion and contraction. C. Filling and compacting the side fills. The space between the pipe and trench wall must be wider than the compaction equipment used in the compaction of the back fill. Minimum width shall not be less than the greater of either the pipe outside diameter plus 16.inches or the pipe outside diameter times 1.25 plus 12 inches. Trench width may be different if approved by the design engineer. 3. The trench bottom should be smooth, free of rocks and debris, continuous, and provide uniform support. If ledge rock, hardpan or large boulders are encountered, the trench bottom should be padded with bedding of compacted granular material to a thickness of at least 4 inches. Foundation bedding should be installed as required by the engineer. 4. Trench depth is determined by the pipes service requirements. Plastic pipe should always be installed at least below the frost level. The minimum cover for lines subject to heavy overhead traffic is 24 inches. 5. A smooth trench bottom is necessary to support the pipe over its entire length on firm stable material. Blocking should not be used to change pipe grade or to intermittently support pipe over low sections in the trench.

BEDDING AND BACKFILLING

1. Even though sub-soil conditions vary widely from place to place, the pipe backfill should be stable and provide protection for the pipe. 2. The pipe should be surrounded with a granular material which is easily worked around the sides of the pipe Backfilling should be performed in layer of 6 inch with each layer being sufficiently compacted to 85% to 95% compaction. 3. A mechanical tamper is recommended for compacting sand and gravel backfill which contain a significant proportion of fine grained material, such as silt and clay. If a tamper is not available, compacting should be done by hand. 4. The trench should be completely filled. The backfill should be placed and spread in fairly uniform layers to prevent any unfilled spaces or voids.

REQUIRMENT OF THARMALLY INSULATING CPVC PIPE

CPVC has much lower thermal conductivity then metals used in piping systems (0.14W / mk for CPVC verus > 400 W / mk for copper). For this reason in most cases it is not necessary to thermally insulate CPVC piping. However the equation below can be used to calculat the approximate heat loss from CPVC pipes 1 meter length of pipe. Q= di + do II. e 2

HANDLING :
The pipe should be handled with reasonable care. Because thermoplastic pipe is much lighter in weight than metal pipe, there is sometimes a tendency to throw it around. This should be avoided. The pipe should never be dragged or pushed from a truck bed. Pallets for pipe should be removed with a fork lift. Loose pipe can be rolled down timbers as long as the pieces do not fall on each other or on any hard or uneven surface. In all cases, severe contact with any sharp objects (rocks, angle irons, forks on forklifts, etc.) should be avoided.

Where Q = Heat loss per meter of pipe, W/m = Thermal conductivity. [W/mk] for CPVC, = 0.14 w/mk e = Thickness of pipe, mm .068 II = 3, 1416 di = Inside diameter, mm = Temperature differential between inner and outer surface of pipe. This can be approximated to : T water. T ambient (K)

STORING :
If possible, pipe should be stored inside. When this is not possible, the pipe should be stored on level ground which is dry and free from sharp objects. If different schedules of pipes are stacked together, the pipes with the thickest walls should be at the bottom. The pipes should be protected from the sun and be in an area with proper ventilation. This will lessen the effects of ultraviolet rays and help prevent heat built-up. If the pipes are stored in racks, it should be continuously supported along its length. If this is not possible, the spacing of the supports should not exceed three feet (3). When storage temperatures are below 0C (32F), extra care should be taken when handling the pipe. This will help prevent any problems which could be caused by the slightly lower impact strength of PVC pipes at temperature below freezing.

Example :
What is the heat loss/meter from a 20mm outside diameter CPVC pipe. wall thickness 2,3mm, with water flowing inside at 800C and an ambient air temperature of 250C?

Q = 0.14 . 3,1416 2.3 = 186 W/m

20 + 15.4 . (80-25) 2

Equation (1) can be simplified for standard pipe dimensions to : Q =K Where K is a conductivity of CPVC and the pipe geometry in the previus example. do = 20mm, and e = 2.3mm K = 0.14 . 3,1416 2.3

20 + 15.4 . = 3.38 (W/mks) 2

JOINING ASTRAL CPVC PIPES & FITTINGS

Solvent cement set and cure times are a function of pipe size, temperature and relative humidity. Curing time is shorter for drier environments, smaller sizes and higher temperatures. It requires 10 to 20 minutes for perfect joint.

In order to make a proper and neat joint, measure the pipe length accurately and make a small mark. Ensure that the pipe and fittings are size compatible. You can easily cut with a wheel type plastic pipe cutter or hacksaw blade. Cutting tubing as squarely as possible provides optimal bonding area within a joint.

CUTTING

SET AND CURE

Burrs and filings can prevent proper contact between tube and fitting during assembly and should be removed from the outside and inside of the pipe. Debarking tool, pocket knife or file are suitable for this. A slight bevel on the end of the tubing will ease entry of the tubing into the fitting socket.

SOLVENT CEMENT APPLICATION

FITTING PREPARATION
Using a clean, dry rag, wipe dirt and moisture from the fitting sockets and tubing end. The tubing should make contact with the socket wall 1/3 to 2/3 of the way into the fitting socket.

Immediately insert the tubing into the fitting socket, rotate the tube to turn while inserting. This motion ensures and even distribution of cement within the joint. Properly align the fittings. Hold the assembly for approximately 10 seconds, allowing the joint to set-up.

use only CPVC cement or an all - purpose cement conforming to ASTM F 493 or joint failure may result. When making a joint, apply a heavy, even coat of cement to the pipe end. Use the same applicator without additional cement to apply a thin coat inside the fitting socket. Too much cement can cause clogged water ways.

Note : For sizes above 65 mm (2") use IPS 70 primer before applying solvent cement. The purpose of a primer is to penetrate and soften the surfaces so they can stick together. The proper use of a primer ensures that the surfaces are prepared for fusion in a wide variety of weather conditions.

CHOOSING CEMENTS & PRIMERS :

Solvent cements for Flowguard CPVC systems must conform to the requirements of ASTM F-493 or equivalent and should carry this identification on the can label. A primer or cleaner must be used on CPVC Primers for PVC pipe are acceptable for CPVC. The National Sanitation Foundation mark (NSF) or other potable water approval should also be located on the container. Certain code bodies require orange CPVC solvent cement and purple primer to facilitate identification by plumbing inspectors. However, unpigmented (clear) CPVC solvent cement and primer are available and accepted by various jurisdictions. If you decide to use clear products, we strongly recommend contracting the local plumbing inspector prior to beginning a job to determine if these clear cements and primers are acceptable.

Solvents evaporate faster in warm weather. Work quickly to avoid the cement setting up before the joint is assembled. Keep the cement as cool as possible. Try to stay out of direct sunlight.3. Keep the lid on cements, cleaner, and primers when not is use Evaporation of the solvent will effect the cement.4. Stir or shake cement before using. 5. Use 20 mm (") dauber on small diameter pipes,40 mm (1") dauber up through 80 mm (3") pipe, and a natural bristle brush, swab, or roller the pipe diameter on pipes 4" and up. 6. Do not mix cleaner or primer with cement. 7. Do not use thickened or lumpy cement. It should be like the consistency of syrup or honey. 8. Do not handle joints immediately after assembly. 9. Do not allow daubers to dry out. 10. Maximum temperature allowable for CPVC pipe is 180F. 11. All coloured cements, primers, and cleaners will have a permanent stain. There is no known cleaning agent. 12. Use according to the step outline in ASTM D-2846, joining of pipe and fittings.

CPVC CEMENTS SHELF LIFE :

CPVC solvent cement are formulated to have a Shelf life of two years. Cans are usually marked with manufacturing dates. Good CPVC cement should have the consistency of syrup or honey with no undissolved materials. Ages cement will often change colour or begin to thicken and become gelatinous or jellylike. When this occurs, the cement must be thrown away.

SOLVENT CEMENT FREEZING :

Use the same precautions to protect CPVC solvent cement from freezing as you would with PVC cement. Once cement gels, it can not be recovered and should be discarded.

SAFE HANDLING OF SOLVENT CEMENT

When using solvent cements, primers and cleaners there are some basic safety measures. All users should keep in mind. Avoid prolonged breathing of solvent vapors. When pipe and

them. If no detailed requirements exist, use the following information. On electric water heaters CPVC can be piped directly to the heater with special metal- to- CPVC transition fittings (photo L). On gas water heaters there should be at least 6 inches of clearance between the exhaust flue and any CPVC piping (photo K). Twelve inch long metal nipples or appliance connector should be connected directly to the heater so that the CPVC tubing cannot be damaged by the build-up of excessive radiant heat from the flue. An approved temperature/pressure (T/P) relief valve should be installed so that the probe or sensing element is in the water at the top of the heater. CPVC is approved by all the model codes for use as relief valve drain line piping. Use a metal-toCPVC transition fitting to connect to the relief valve and continue the pipe full size to the outlet. For horizontal runs, slope the pipe towards the outlet and support it at three-feet centers or closer. The pipe must discharge to the atmosphere at an approved

fittings are being joined in enclosed areas, the use of ventilating devices are advised

Keep cements, primers and cleaners away from all sources of ignition, heat, sparks and open flame. Keep containers of cements, primers and cleaners tightly closed except when the product is being used. Dispose of all rags used with solvents in a proper outdoor waste receptacle. Avoid eye and skin contact. In case of eye contact, flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes and call a physician.

THREAD SEALANTS
Threaded CPVC fittings with tapered pipe threads (e.g. male thread adapters) must be used with a suitable thread sealant to insure leak-proof joints. Over the years, PTFE (Teflon or equivalent) tape has been the preferred thread sealant, it is still the most widely accepted and approved sealant. Some paste sealant can affect CPVC fittings; manufacturer should be used. therefore only sealants recommended for use with CPVC by the thread sealant

location. Do not use CPVC pipe and fittings with commercial-type, non-storage water heaters.

GENERAL GUIDELINE FOR ALL INSTALLATIONS

DO's
1. 2. 3. 4. 4A. Install product according to ASTRAL's Installation instructions and manual and follow recommended safe work practices. Keep Pipe and Fittings in original packaging until needed and store pipes in covered areas. Use tools designed for use with plastic pipe and fittings. Cut-off minimum 25 mm beyond the edge of the crack in case any crack is discovered on the pipe. Pipe may be cut quickly and efficiently by several methods. Wheel-type plastic tubing cutters are preferred. Ratchet type cutters or fine tooth saws are another option. However, when using the ratchet cutter, be certain to score the exterior wall by rotating the cutter blade in a circular motion around the pipe. Do this before applying significant downward pressure to finalise the cut. This step leads to a square cut. In addition, make sure ratchet cutter blades are sharp. Cutting tubing as squarely as possible provides optimal bonding area within a joint. Burrs and filings can prevent proper contact between the tube and fittings during assembly, and should be removed from the outside and inside of the tube. A chamfering tool is preferred, but a pocket knife or file is also suitable for this purpose. Use CPVC Cement only. Use only CPVC Cement or an all purpose cement conforming to ASTM F-493 or joint failure may result. Always conduct hydraulic pressure testing after installation to detect any leaks and faults. Wait for appropriate cure time before pressure testing. Fill lines slowly and bleed air from the system prior to pressure testing. Rotate the pipe 90 to 180 to spread the CPVC Solvent Cement evenly in the joint while pushing the Pipe into Fitting. Use Teflon tapes with threaded fittings. Ensure that there are no sharp edges in contact with the pipe while embedding the pipes on the walls or in the floors. When making a transition connection to metal threads, use a special transition fitting or CPVC male threaded adapter whenever possible. Do not over-torque plastic threaded connections. Head tight plus one-half turn should be adequate. Provide Vertical & Horizontal Supports as recommended using the Plastic Straps only. Apply a water- based paint only on exposed pipes & fittings. Visually inspect all joints for proper cementing at the end of shift or day. A Visual inspection of the complete system is also recommended during pressure testing. 12. When connecting to a gas water heater, CPVC tubing should not be locat ed within 50cm of the flue. For water heaters lacking reliable temperature control, this distance may be increased up to 1m. A metal nipple or flexible appliance connector should be utilized. This measure eliminates the potential for damage to plastic piping that might result from excessive radiant heat from the flue. 13. Use of a brass/CPVC transition adapter when connecting CPVC to a water heater will help facilitate water heater replacement in the future. 14. Pressure test CPVC systems in accordance with local code requirements.
