INTRODUCTION
PEXGOL pipes are produced by Golan Plastic Products, an industrial enterprise owned by Kibbutz Shaar Hagolan.
Golan Plastic Products was established in 1964 as an extrusion plant and today it is one of the biggest plastic products
producers for the building sector in Israel.
In 1975 Golan Plastic Products began manufacturing hot water pipes made of crosslinked polyethylene using the
pzeroxide high pressure process. These pipes, sold under the name of PEXGOL, are now well-known for their quality
and reliability in Israel and in the international market.

3. Allowable working pressures

PEXGOL pipes are produced according to the DIN

Standards 16892/16893 and the Israeli standard 1519
Part 1. These Standards show the working pressures of
PEXGOL pipes at various temperatures.

Table No 3.1: The values of change with the

temperature as follows:
Temp. (C)

(kg/cm2)

85

The working pressures for PEXGOL pipe are

determined by the following equation:
2t
2t

P=
D-t or P= SDR-1 or s
P = Maximum working pressure (kg/cm2)
= Long term strength at the design
temperature (kg/cm2)
D = Outside diameter (mm)
t = Wall thickness (mm)
S = ISO 4065 series
SDR (Standard Dimensions Ratio) = D = 2s + 1

Notes:
The design stress is calculated with a safety factor of 1.25.
The stress values and the working pressures in the following
table were calculated according to DIN 16893-2000.
These values are relevant for water.
Allowable working pressures
The working temperatures in Table 4&5 are the fluid
temperature.
In case of chemicals and corrosive agents, the working
pressures might have to be derated according to the data in
the chemical resistance tables.
Please consult us!

Pressure testing:
All pipes undergo strict quality pressure testing

Engineering Guide

An outstanding feature of the PEXGOL pipe is flexibility,

which enables the pipe to return to its original diameter
after transportation on relatively small drums or in coils.
As a result, we are able to supply longer lengths of pipe,
compared to other types.
Coils
From diameter 25 mm to 160 mm, PEXGOL pipes are
available in standard coils of 50m or 100 meters.
Longer pipe lengths are available in coils according to
customers specifications.
Straight sections
PEXGOL pipes in larger diameters up to 630 mm with
plain ends can be ordered in a maximum length of 11.8m
(to fit into standard 40ft containers).
Pipes with Flared Ends
Pipes with a diameter of up to 160 mm with one or two
flared ends are available in coils in lengths according
to the table. PEXGOL pipes in larger diameters up to
630 mm with or without flared ends can be ordered in
a maximum length of 11.8m (to fit into standared 40ft
containers).
See coiling options and drums&straight sections
tables in Supplements.
Comparison with other plastic pipes
PEXGOL pipes are produced from a special type of
polyethylene. This is a high density polyethylene (HDPE)
with a very high molecular weight. During production
the raw material is extruded under high pressures and
temperatures in the presence of a special catalyst. While the
pipes are being extruded the material crosslinks, resulting
in an unbreakable (chemical) cross-connection between
the adjacent long molecules of the polyethylene. As a result
of the crosslinking, a 3-dimensional network is formed and
the pipe is considered as one enormous molecule.
The combination of a special raw material of very high
molecular weight and the crosslinking process result in a
special pipe having several important qualities:
Corrosion resistance
Excellent mechanical resistance
Unique chemical resistance
Very low friction coefficientC=155 in Hazen-Williams Formula
Excellent abrasion resistance
Very good resistance to heat
Excellent longevity
No longitudinal crack formation or other stress cracks
Low creep
No stone sediments due to pipe smoothness

These properties provide important advantages

compared to normal pipes which are not crosslinked:
1. High working pressures.
2. High working temperature - up to 110C and above.
3. Excellent durability in harsh corrosive conditions:
- Industrial pipelines
- Slurry lines
- Tailing lines
- Dewatering lines
- Corrosive ground
4. Immunity against improper pipe laying procedures
5. Low head losses enabling considerable savings in cost
Regular polyethylene pipes are limited to a working
temerature of up to 40C according to ISO Standard 4427.
They are also very sensitive to scratches resulting from
careless handling during transportation and laying of
the pipes. In non-crosslinked pipes (such as PE, PP or PB),
cracks may appear after a few years.
These stress cracks occur as a result of the internal
pressure or external stresses such as pipe bending or
stone impregnations as a result of poor sand bedding.
This phenomenon is also known as slow crack growth
(SCG). The sensitivity to stress cracking is a material
property, common for non-crosslinked pipe materials.
SCG does not appear in crosslinked PE pipes due to the
3-dimensional crosslinked structure of PEXGOL pipes,
which totally blocks the growth of these cracks. The
excellent resistance of PEXGOL pipes to SCG makes it
an ideal choice for industrial piping, gas transportation,
chemical and regular sewage transportation.
Because of this high-level resistance, it is possible to lay
PEXGOL pipes in trenches without sand bedding!

5. Tranportation of PEXGOL pipes

6. Comparison to other plastic pipes

Tranportation of PEXGOL pipes

Industrial applications
The PEXGOL pipes with their excellent abrasion resistance
to chemical and abrasions are ideal conduit for a wide
range of industrial applications where conventional
pipes would be unsatisfactory due to the abrasivesness
of conveying slurries or because of vulnerability to
chemical damage by solutions and acids - PEXGOL pipes
present a successful and cost-effective solution.
The industrial applications of PEXGOL pipes include
transporting:
- Slurries (gypsum; sand; salt; phosphates; silts; potash,
and more.
- Various chemicals.
- Industrial wastes.

8. Designing guidelines

Application Design Questioner

Designing guide lines
For each application, we ask you to fill out the application
questionnaire and return it to us, so that we can decide which
pipe class to use and recommend the complete solution
(PEXGOL pipes & fittings) for your application. We aim to
establish direct contact between our technical support and
the clients designers.
For each pipeline section, the designers should design the
following items and in the following order:
1. PEXGOL elbows - See our PEXGOL natural Bending
Radius in PEXGOL pipes.
Wherever possible use our straight pipes with a natural
bend. PEXGOL pipes come in straight sections in
maximum length of 11.8 meters. They can come with
one or two flared ends and flanges. If you have to bend
a pipe with a longer length, order two sections and
make a longer pipe by connecting it with a reinforced
electrofusion Coupler.
Always choose the length of the two sections so that
the electrofusion coupler is not in the exact location of
the bend (See enclosed drawings).
There are objects in the line which are not straight
pipes or elbows (meaning Steel Tees, Laterals, etc.)
they will be supplied in the same shape as common
steel fittings but with a Pex lining.
You can choose Standard items from our Catalog.
However, if you see later that you need to make a nonstandard item with a slightly longer or shorter legs, you
can do so and ask us for approval.
These items must always come with flanges at all ends.
The standard items come with fixed flanges. For each
end you can choose if the flange will be a fixed flange
or a loose flange.
2. Expansion joints & Omegas loops:
You do not need such an item in a PEXGOL system. If
they exist cancel them!
3. Where do we need a flange?
3.1 We need a flange if we have a valve in the line.
3.2 We need a flange if we have a flanged object (for
example - Tees , Laterals etc. ) in the line.
4. If you cannot use the straight pipe sections with the
natural bend , use our 3XD or 1.5x D elbows.
4.1. Please note that our 1.5x D elbows are significantly
longer than the Regular 1.5x D elbows.
4.1.1 Therefore please use the dimensions in our table
Prefabricated Elbows
4.2 The 3XD elbows should be preferred to the 1.5 XD
(if you can accommodate them) since they reduce
head losses and abrasion rate.

12

4.3 If you cannot install the 3XD elbows in 45 or 90

degrees, try to install the 1.5 XD PEXGOL elbows.
4.4 You can specify other non-standard angles in special
order.
4.5 If you do not have enough space for PEXGOL
elbows, you can specify PEX-lined steel elbows.
5. In addition to straight pipe sections and elbows ,the
following items may be supplied from a PEXGOL material:
Concentric or Eccentric Reducers and Instrumentation
Tees. However, they should be discussed in details
regarding the length, etc.
5.1 Alternatively they may be supplied a steellined items.
6. The influence of temperature changes on pipeline length:
6.1 The length of PEXGOL pipes can increase by 0.3%
for a temperature increase of 200C.
6.2 This means 3 mm for every 1 meter.
6.3 This means that if you want to install a straight
PEXGOL pipe section between two steel flanges,
you have to specify the length of the PEXGOL pipe
section shorter by few mm than the length between
two steel flanges (so that you can install it easily)
and take advantage of the thermal expansion of
the PEXGOL pipe.
7. Field welding:
7.1 Please also allow Field welding in order to
compensate the deviation of the actual length of
the pipe during the installation from the designed
length. In most cases these Field welds will be
done with Electrofusion Couplers so you do not
have to provide other means.
7.2 If you are using only mechanical connectors, you
should design some of them so that the final pipe
length can be shortened on site.
8. Fixpoints
8.1 Fixpoints should be designed before and after
each fitting (for example - flared end connection as
specified in our enginerring guide.
8.2 The designers should make themselves well acquainted
with our engineering guide.

Engineering Guide

9. Specifying the length of the PEXGOL straight sections

and elbows as separate items :
9.1 This will be done after all the design has been
completed and approved by the designers and by
Golan.
9.2 It is a good practice to specify a longer section in
order to allow for the measuring inaccuracies and
other sources of mistakes.
Please note that you can use the field welds to compensate.
Lifetime calcullations for Slurry pipeline
PEXGOL is a very resistant material for abrasion. However,
we usually do not have information regarding the expected
annual abrasion rate YR (expressed in mm per year) and
this value can be obtain usually by an appropriate testing
facility who deals with slurry transportation.
Please note:
During the N years of service the stand-alone PEXGOL
pipe is anticipated to lose up to 30% from the wall
thickness due to abrasion .
The liner is anticipated to lose all the wall thickness.

1.The following information is needed for the calculation:

1.1 The expected annual abrasion rate YR
1.2 The critical velocity: The critical velocity VC has to
be determined, usually also by an appropriate
testing facility (probably the same one).
1.3 The required flow rate Q to be run through the pipe.
1.4 The designed lifetime N (expressed in years) of the
pipeline.
2. Calculations
2.1 Calculate the pipes ID according to the flow rate Q
and the critical velocity VC. The pipes ID is actually
the Maximum allowable ID in the pipe after N years
of service with the influence of abrasion.
2.2 Calculate IN-ID (the initial ID of the pipe) according
to: IN-ID= ID -2xNxYR
2.3 Calculate the inlet pressure in the line based on the ID
2.4 For a stand-alone PEXGOL pipe, calculate the OD of
the pipe taking into account the relevant working
temperature of the pipeline.
2.5 Calculate the upstream parts of the line which can
be designed with the same ID and a smaller OD
in order to make a cost effective design with a
reduced working pressure.

Calculating PEXGOL pipes for Dewatering pipelines or Boreholes

PEXGOL pipes can be used as Riser pipes for Dewatering pipelines or Boreholes .
For energy-saving reasons we recommend choosing a PEXGOL pipe with Head losses which does not exceed J=5% and
preferably lower.
However, please note that designing these pipes is not straightforward due to the complex three-dimensional stress
regime in these applications.
Golans Technical Department will calculate the pipes for you upon receiving the filled-up Borehole questionnaire
(see supplement on page 92)

10. Water Hammer

Water hammer
Water hammer is a series of pressure pulsations, of varying magnitude, above and below the normal pressure of the
liquid in the pipe. The amplitude and periodicity depends on the extinguished velocity of the liquid, as well as the size,
length and material of the pipeline. Shock results from these pulsations when any liquid, flowing with a certain velocity,
is stopped in a short period of time. The pressure increase, when flow is stopped, is independent of the working pressure
of the system. The surge pressure, in any pipeline, occurs when the total discharge is stopped in a period of time, equal
or less than the time required for the induced pressure wave to travel from the point of valve closure to the inlet end of
the line and return. This time is:
t = 2L
a
where:
t = Time for pressure wave to travel the length of the pipe
and return (sec.)
L = Length of pipe line (m)
a = Velocity of pressure wave (m/sec)
When the liquid in the pipe is water, the velocity of the pressure wave a is determined by the following equation:

a=

1440
1 + 2.11 x 108

D
Ee

where:
a = Velocity of pressure wave (m/sec.)
d = Inside diameter of pipe (m)
e = Thickness of pipe wall (m)
E = Modulus of elasticity of pipe material (kg/m2)
The surge pressure caused by water hammer is determined by the following equation:
P= 1000 x aV
g
Where:
p = Surge pressure (kg/m2)
a = Velocity of pressure wave (m/sec)
V = Velocity of water stopped (m/sec)
g = Acceleration caused by gravity (9.81 m/sec2)
Pressure caused by water hammer can be minimized by increasing closure times of valves to a value greater than 2L/a.
For example, when the closure time is 10 times 2L/a, the pressure can surge to the range of 10%-20% of the surge caused
by closure in a time equal to or less than 2L/a.
Because of the flexibility and resilience of PEXGOL pipes, the surge pressures caused by the water hammer are reduced.
A PEXGOL pipe can withstand an occasional pressure (surge pressure + working pressure) up to 2.5 times the design
pressure in the relevant temperature.

22

Engineering Guide

The value of E the modulus of elasticity of PEXGOL pipes

is much lower than the value of E for steel pipes, concrete
pipes or asbestos-cement pipes. Since the velocity of the
pressure wave is related to - E, the velocity decreases as
the value of E is lower.
The following examples show the pressure surges caused
by the water hammer for various pipes. In all following
examples, the velocity of water is 1.5 m/sec:
a) Steel pipe 6 dia. 4.76 mm wall thickness:
(E = 2.1 x 1010 kg/m2)
1440

a=

1 + 2.11 x 108 x

P= 1000x1416x1.5
9.81

= 1416 m/sec

In this case, the maximum pressure caused by thewater

hammer in steel pipes is three times higher than the
maximum pressure in PEXGOL pipes.

11. Vacuum / suction pipelines

Vacuum / suction pipelines

PEXGOL pipe class 10 is not recommaned for use under

full vacuum conditions.

Under-pressure (vacuum) can develop in the following cases:

1. When a pipe is installed in vacuum-feeding pipelines.
2. When a pipe is installed in a steep inclination, causing
rapid free flow.
3. Extreme temperature changes of the transported liquid.

If a PEXGOL pipe collapses it shows an oval deformation

which increases progressively.
We emphasize that when a PEXGOL pipe collapses due
to vacuum it can be returned to its original round shape
by applying a brief internal pressure at high temperature.
The following drawing shows a above-ground situation
schematic of PEXGOL pipe under vacuum.
The pipes cross-section is slightly flattened because of
the vacuum inside the pipe.

The amount of vacuum that a PEXGOL pipe can withstand

depends on the pipes SDR A pipe with sufficient wall
thickness must be selected in order to resist the
collapsing forces generated by the vacuum.

PEXGOL pipes of different classes:

PEXGOL pipe laying on the ground in a vacuum condition

Above ground PEXGOL pipe under vacuum
When selecting PEXGOL pipes for vacuum conditions above the ground, it is recommended to use the following criterion:
When DvH/Do is below 1.2, a PEXGOL pipe laid above ground is considered safe against vacuum failure.
Underground PEXGOL Pipe
Vacuum, which is a negative pressure, creates hoop stresses in the pipe wall which are combined with the external
pressures of the soil. In extreme cases these stresses can cause the pipe to collapse. Therefore, when a vacuum PEXGOL
pipe is installed underground, the vacuum stresses have to be added to the total static and dynamic loads exerted by the
soil, and all the stresses must be considered. In this case, ensure that the soil around the pipe is compacted!
When designing a vacuum pipeline at recommended vacuum conditions, please contact our engineer for consultation
regarding installation of vacuum breakers.

Engineering Guide

Transporting solid materials by fluids (in the form of a

slurry) is commonly used in industry, mining and in many
piping systems. In most cases, the flow is kept turbulent
to avoid sedimentation.
Abrasion is the result of removal of material by flowing
media from the inner surface of the pipe.
The rate of abrasion for various slurries is determined by
many factors such as:

Flow rate
Density of the particles
Size distribution of the particles
Hardness and angularity of the particles
Temperature Viscosity of the liquid

PEXGOL pipes were installed at the Dead Sea Works

instead of steel pipes, which had to be replaced every
year. PEXGOL pipes have been at work since 1985, and it
has not yet been necessary to replace them.
In South African gold mines, PEXGOL pipes were installed
in backfillines, working at a very high line velocity,
transferring highly abrasive material for many years
without failure.
In Israels Dead Sea Works, 450 mm PEXGOL pipes have
been installed since 1990. These pipes are connected to
dredgers which harvest the salt particles.
Non-crosslinked PE pipes which were installed in these
lines failed after a few months.

12. Abrasion resistance

Abrasion resistance

Technical test reports concerning abrasion resistance of

PEXGOL pipes are available on request.

Abrasion resistance is one of the most important

characteristics of PEXGOL pipes.
PEXGOLs excellent abrasion resistance is a result of the
unique structure of crosslinked polyethylene, making
the pipe material especially tough and resilient, and
generally able to resist abrasion better than metal pipes.
The ability of the pipe material to absorb the kinetic
energy of the hard particles inside the slurry, and its
resistance to deformation, make PEXGOL pipes extraordinary abrasion resistant conduits.
Unavoidable scratches in PEXGOL pipes cause no
damage.
Results of tests performed on pipes after being subjected
to scratches as deep as 20% of the pipe wall show that no
damage is caused to the pipe during intensive pressure
tests. The crosslinked molecular structure accounts for
the insensitivity of PEXGOL pipes to scratches as well as
their resistance to slow-crack-growth. The restraining
action of the adjacent molecular chains of the crosslinked
network absorb the energy of the tearing forces.
PEXGOL pipes abrasion resistance was tested and
approved in laboratory tests as well as in on-site
conditions.

The width can be increased to allow more comfortable

work in the trench.
The minimum recommendation depth of the trench is
60cm (to prevent mechanical damage of the pipe).
For a route change (for example a 900 angle) it is
recommended to dig the trench with a suitable radius.
See Bending radius in PEXGOL pipes, page 31.

26

Sand bedding of the trench and backfilling

The unique properties of PEXGOL pipes allow considerable
saving in costs related to sand bedding, compacting and
backfilling:
Excellent scratch resistance enables laying the pipes
in trenches with no sand bedding; if sand bedding is
required, the trench should be filled with sand 10 cm
above the pipe.
Backfilling the trench using the earth originally removed
from the trench (in accordance with ISO 14531, Part 4);
if corrosive soil is used to cover PEXGOL pipes that are
connected with metal fittings, the fittings should be
covered by sand, not by the corrosive soil.
High ring stiffness no need to compact the soil to
improve the pipes pressure rating.
Installation below a road or a pavement with no need for
a protective sleeve; in this case, use controlled compacting
of the soil/ground, according to the designers instructions,
when covering the pipe to prevent the ground sinking.

In order to reduce energy losses it is recommended to

insulate the pipe when underground PEXGOL pipes, for
hot water transportation are buried underground.

Engineering Guide

Above-ground installation of PEXGOL pipes is advantageous in the following cases:

If Slurry lines are frequently relocated.
Installation through marshes or areas which are difficult to access.
Quick installation of temporary pipe lines.
It is recommended that expansion and construction, due to temperature variations, should be considered in the design
and installation of PEXGOL pipes above the ground. The coefficient of expansion of PEXGOL pipes is high compared to
steel pipes, but the forces generated by thermal stresses are much lower for PEXGOL pipes.
The reason for this is mainly the low modulus of elasticity and the fact that the PEXGOL pipes feature stress relaxation.
PEXGOL pipes installed above ground might increase in length as a result of temperature increases and tend to undergo
snaking.
Longitudinal elongation and contraction of the pipe is not uniform since the coefficient of friction between the pipe and
the ground varies. However, the toughness and the exceptional abrasion resistance of PEXGOL pipes enable the pipes to
move across the soil without affecting strength or service life.
Above ground installation instructions for PEXGOL pipes

15. Above ground Installation

16. horizontally supported pipelines

Above ground Installation

PEXGOL pipes laid above the ground should be installed in a slightly curved configuration and not in a straight line to
avoid thermal stresses, which helps prevent the pipe from pulling out of its fittings when the temperature drops and the
pipe tends to contract.
Maintaining PEXGOL pipeline in a straight line
If a straight pipeline is required, then anchoring the pipeline at intervals is a good method of limiting and controlling
thermal expansion and contraction of the pipeline.
The smaller the distance between the fixpoints, the smaller the theoretic increase in pipe length. As a result lateral
deflections will decrease and the pipeline will be straight.
PEXGOL horizontally supported pipelines
Horizontally supported pipes are subject to vertical deflections between supports due to the weight of the pipe and
the transported materials, and also due to thermal deflection. Golan recommends minimizing the deflection in order
to avoid high stress values inside the pipe wall. Choosing proper distance between supports helps to minimize thermal
deflections.

27

The following figures give the recommended distance between supports for various SDRs and pipe diameters, at 20C.
For higher temperatures shorter distances are recommended and the values shown in the figures should be multiplied
by the following values:
For 60C : 0.91; For 80C: 0.83.

PEXGOL pipes have a tendency to elongate considerably

when exposed to sunlight due to a high thermal
expansion coeffcient which is typical for plastic pipes.
With rising temperature the elastic modulus of the pipe
decre ases and so the developing stress is not high.
When placing the PEXGOL pipe over pipe bridges, the
thermal expansion is reduced by the use of suitable
fixtures so that the pipe will develop internal stresses
which do not cause any damage.
There is no need to use expansion joints!
PEXGOL pipes at low temperature
When the ambient temperature drops below 20C, the
tendency to axial contraction could create axial stresses
in the pipe.
These stresses are absorbed by the pipe without causing
damage (stress relaxation).
Minimum service temperature is -50C.

18. Fixpoint Clamps

PEXGOL pipe behaviour at high temperature

The distance between adjacent clamps may be calculated

accordindg to the following formula: L = 63.5 x D, where
L is the distance (in mm) between the clamps.
D = outside pipe diameter (in mm).
The formula was written taking into consideration the
increase of ambient temperature from 20C to 40C,
causing warming up of the pipe to 60C because of its
black color. The formula allows for a maximum sideward
deflection of 50 mm between one Fixpoint and the other.
In case the supports are not continuous, the calculated
distance can be rounded off so that it will fit to the bridge
See Horizontally Supported Pipelines.
Fixpoint Clamps
If the pipe is to be fixed at a Fixpoint, then a Fixpoint Clamp
(FPC) should be used.
The FPC is made of steel with internal gripping teeth made
of 316L stainless steel.
The FPC is painted with a base paint that you can weld on.
The lower part of the clamp can be welded to the bridge
(before installing the pipe) or connected by screws.
The distance between one adjacent pipe to the other is
determined according to the width of the FPCs; (see table)

29

19. Fix point bridge for PEXGOL pipes

Protecting end couplings and other fittings

Max. force at the Fixpoint clamps

The max. force at the Fixpoint clamp depends on the
pipes O.D. and wall thickness.
The value of the force in kg can be calculated according
to the following formula:
F = 24.5 x W
where W is the weight of the pipe (kg/m) taken from
tables 6-11 on pages 7-8.
Side Deflection

To ensure the pull-out resistance of curtain fittings, lay the

pipe not perfectly straight, but with some surplus length
(slack). In case of short pipes (up to about 10 meters),
or in case of installations on pipe bridges (where it may
be difficult to leave slack in the pipe), there should be a
fixpoint before and after every fitting.
This applies to some of the fittings (see designing guide
lines). It is not necessary to have fixpoints before and
after electrofusion fittings.
If the pipe is installed in a vertical position and common
fixpoint clamps cannot be used, the fitting should be
protected by a fixpoint bridge. (See table no. 19.1).

Large side deflection might be expected large in the

event of a malfunction, but there is no risk of possible
damage due to one pipe leaning on its neighbor or
rubbing against it.

L1

Guiding Clamps for PEXGOL Pipes

The PEXGOL pipes tendency to snake can be reduced
by putting bars on both sides of the pipe in order to limit
sideward deflection.
Alternatively, using guiding clamps (GC), which are
conventional clamps (FPC) without the internal gripping
teeth, is recommended. The pipe can freely slide through
in the axial direction but not sidewards.

Engineering Guide

In order to create turns with PEXGOL pipes laid inside

trenches, above the ground or over pipe bridges, the
pipe may be bent according to table 20.1.
This kind of pipeline design, which takes advantage of
the natural flexibility of the pipe can reduce the number
of connections and lower head losses.
Designing of PEXGOL Pipes with natural bends

For class 15 and class 24 pipes, smaller bending radii are

possible.
For additional details please contact the PEXGOL Pipes
Service Dept.

Table No. 20.1: Natural bending Radius

When designing such a line it is recommended to consult

with our field service personal. Please keep in mind
that for bending the pipe on site, suitable facilities are
required and for inserting the pipe into the construction,
enough space is required as well as a possibility to exert
bending moments of the pipe.

Bending the Pipes

The pipes should be bent by means of a suitable device,
e.g. a winch or a lever. You should not forget that the
pipe is quite rigid and considerable force is required for
bending and fixing it.
For example: 2 tons for 110 pipe and 5 tons for 280 pipe.
Please exercise caution!

20. Natural bending radius in PEXGOL pipes

Natural bending radius in PEXGOL pipes

Bending should be done carefully in order to avoid

knuckles. For best results it is recommended to prepare
a continuous support for the pipe (having the radii of the
pipe to be bent) and then to bend the pipe against it.
Route change of PEXGOL pipes inside trenches
For a route change in buried pipes it is recommended to
dig the trench with the minimum natural bending radius
stated in table 17.
NATURAL elbows on pipe bridges
The pipe should be fixed with Fixpoint clamps before and
after each elbow.
For pipe diameters of 280 and higher, the elbow should
be supported in the centre in addition to the two
aforementioned Fixpoints.

21. Prefabricated Elbows

Prefabricated Elbows
Prefabricated elbows are produced from PEXGOL pipes of all classes according to a proprietary process.
Standard elbows are available in the following configurations and the corresponding Cat. Numbers:
900 R=3XD- Cat. No. 9119030
450 R=3XD- Cat. No. 9114530
900 R=1.5XD- Cat. No. 9119015
450 R=1.5XD- Cat. No. 9114515
PEXGOL with flared-ends can be ordered in any length between the minimum and maximum values listed in table 21.1,
dim.A. Prefabricated elbows with plain-ends can be ordered in minimum lengths according to dim.B.
Each leg can be ordered with plain ends or with flared ends with or without flanges. The length of each leg can be
different.
To order the PEXGOL elbows see the order form on our website: www.pexgol.com/support
The weight of the elbow is calculated by adding the A or B values of the legs, dividing them by 1,000 (in order to get
the total length of the elbow in meters) and then multiplying by the weight per meter of the pipe according to the pipe
dimensions tables.

Notes:
1. Length of Elbow includes also a straight section which makes connection to the elbow easier.
2. The dim.A is the length of the elbow with a flared end & flange.
3. Elbows with a plain end (for electrofusion or mechanical connector) can be ordered with a shorter length
according to dim.B
4. Elbows with longer dimensions A or B can be specially ordered (after coordination with Golan Plastic Products).
5. Larger or smaller radii elbows may be specially ordered.
6. Elbows with angles which are not according to standard may be requested by special order.

Engineering Guide

The ends of the PEXGOL pipe are heated and then flared by a proprietary process, performed at Golan plastic products.
The final pipe-end is similar to a stub end.
The loose flange is usually mounted over the pipe before the flaring process. Alternatively, split flanges that can be
mounted later, can be supplied. Plastic coated flanges are available on request.
The pipes can be ordered in lengths according to customers specifications or in standard lengths that may fit into 20 or
40 ft containers.

Completed linings shall show no evidence of pinholes,
porosity, cracks or bad workmanship. Sealing surfaces
shall be free of surface defects that could impair sealing
effectiveness. Scratches, dents, nicks or tool marks on
the sealing face shall not be deeper than 0.15mm. Any
of these defect types less than 0.15mm but extending
across the face shall cause the product to be rejected.
Blind flanges shall have linings firmly attached.

Production testing
For each batch, at least one representative sample of
each nominal size of fittings shall be selected and tests
carried out to determine mechanical properties and SG.
Where samples do not comply with the requirements
stated in this specification, each tube in the batch shall
have samples cut from each end and the samples shall
be subjected to the same tests.
Any sample not meeting the specified requirements
shall lead to rejection of the whole tube.
The outside diameter and wall thickness shall be
measured. Tubes not complying with the standard
shall be rejected.
Cracks found at the ends of tubes shall be cut off along
with at least 50mm of adjacent material.
When specified, each liner tube shall be subjected to
a flattening test. Each length of tube shall be passed
through a pre-set gap between two powered rollers.
The gap shall be set at 50% of the outside diameter
of the tube. The tube shall then be rotated about the
longitudinal axis through 90 and then passed back
through the roller gap.
The tube shall be examined for cracks and any cracks
along with at least 50mm of adjacent material shall be
cut out.

27. Pex lined fittings

External finish
The outside surface of all pipe and fittings shall be finished as follows.
Shotblast SA 2-1/2 and coat with one coat zinc phosphate, zinc epoxy or zinc silicate primer. After painting, bolt holes and
vents which become blocked shall be cleared.
Marking and identification: The following information shall be marked permanently on each pipe and fitting either by
casting into the body or by hard stamping the flange edge in letters at least 6mm high:
Manufacturers sign
Lining material
Packaging
All flanges shall be fitted with protective covers. These covers shall only be removed just prior to installation.
Fittings shall be fitted with medium density fiberboard blanks as above or alternatively, snap on proprietary plastic blanks
may be used.
Performance
All lined fittings shall be capable of meeting the temperature, pressure, and vacuum ratings stated in the Lined fittings manual.
Service limitations
For positive and negative pressure limitations versus temperature, see tables 27.2 and 27.3.
Service temperature limits, subject to compatibility with the fluid being handled are:
Pex - minus 20 to +85C

When Lined fittings are exposed to very low temperatures (less than minus 20C) consideration must be given as to the
suitability of the material used for the housings. See section below for further information.

System design and supports

Pipe systems should be adequately supported in order to avoid excessive deflection of flanged joints, and supports
should be installed preferably close to flanges. The requirement for adequate support is critical in areas of high levels of
concentration of valves and fittings.
Butterfly valves are usually designed for straight metallic or thermoplastic systems, with the diameter of the vane being
defined as a function of the inner diameter of the pipe system in question. The inner diameter of lined steel pipe is
considerably smaller than the actual steel pipe, and inner diameters of thermoplastic pipes tend to be considerably
smaller due to their heavy wall thickness. For these reasons some interference between the inner liner of a lined pipe and
the valve vane may be experienced.
The designer should consider this possibility early in the selection process for pipe systems and valves, and if required,
incorporate adequate conical spacers between the flanges of plastic fittings and the valve.
Installation and maintenance instructions for lined fittings

Lined products must not be welded, brazed or torch cut since this will damage the lining.
The material should also be handled with due care and attention, avoiding all mechanical shocks.
All flanges are covered to protect them from damage during shipment, storage and handling on site. Should covers be
removed for inspection purposes prior to installation, they should be replaced immediately after the inspection of each
item is completed.

When jointing PEX lined pipe and lined fittings together it is generally unnecessary to use gaskets between the sealing faces.
Under normal conditions, covers should only be removed immediately prior to installation. As gaskets are often not
required, utmost attention should be made to avoid scratching or otherwise damaging the lining on flange faces.
In case of leakage sealing faces of both components should be inspected for groves or chips. Groves or nicks not
deeper than approximately 15% of the flare thickness can be removed with a fine grade abrasive paper.

28. Flanged Coupler for PEXGOL pipes

Before final torquing of the nuts, turn the coupler around

the pipe until it is aligned with the opposite flange.
The sealing gasket seals between the coupler and the
pipe, and also between the coupler and the opposite
flange. The gasket is designed so that the coupler does
not come into contact with the liquid flowing through
the pipe.
The standard gasket is made of EPDM; other materials
can be supplied according to special order.
The flange has oval holes designed to fit most International
standards; see table.

Flanged Coupler for PEXGOL pipes

Available sizes from diameters 63mm to 630mm.
The couplers can be used for the full range of
temperatures and pressures, same as the PEXGOL pipes.
PEXGOL flanged couplers consist of either two halves or
four quarters depending on the pipe size.
The body of the coupler is made of spheroidal cast iron
GGG40 (ASTM A-536).
Installing the coupler is easy!
The coupler is placed around the pipe and fastened
by screws. The inner surface of the coupler has special
stainless steel teeth.
These teeth penetrate into the pipe wall during tightening
of the coupler and provide good anchoring onto
the pipe, preventing the pipe from pulling out from
the fitting.

29. Branch-Off Saddles

Branch-Off Saddles
Branch-off saddles are designed for side outlets of a maximum diameter equaling half of the main pipes diameter.
They are made from plastic or metal.
PEXGOL pipes can be used with plastic saddles such as PLASSON saddles or electrofusion saddles, with restrictions
regarding the allowable temperature and pressure range, according to Golans recommendations for PEXGOL pipe
connections.
Golans metal saddles are suitable for the full temperature and pressure ranges of PEXGOL pipes. Brass saddles with
threaded outlets are used for pipes from 32mm up to 160mm diameter (see the instructions page for the installation of
saddles).
For diameters bigger than 110mm, stainless steel saddles with threaded or flanged outlets (according to standard
requirements) are available.
All metal saddles are suitable for use in piping that conveys drinking water.

Saddles with internal rubber lining at the flange outlet are available for corrosive materials that might damage the
stainless steel saddles. Golan supplies these saddles on special request.

30. PEXGOL - Instructions for pressure testing

31. Repair Instructions

Performing pressure tests in PEXGOL water supply lines

1. Test purpose: Final check for pipe and fittings to ensure
there are no leakages.
2. Test procedure:
2.1 On the day before the test, the pipeline can be filled
up with water at the maximum working pressure of
the pipeline.
2.2 On the day of the test, check the pipeline visually,
especially around the fittings.
3. Attention!
3.1 Metal fittings (flanged couplings, branch-off saddles)
should be temporarily covered, to prevent excessive
heat buildup due to exposure to sunlight.
3.2 For installation above the ground, lower test
pressures (according to the table) must be used, as
the pipe may be heat up due to exposure to sunlight.
3.3 Changes in the pipeline topography (which could
create higher local pressure due to a water column)
should be considered and the test pressure should be
reduced accordingly.
4. Pressure testing:
4.1 Bring up the pressure to the test pressure (see table)
and then close the feeding line.
4.2 As the pipe is flexible and tends to increase its
diameter under pressure, the line pressure decreases
to 10-20% of the test pressure.
4.3 The line pressure should be increased again, up to
the test pressure.
4.4 With each cycle of pressure reduction and
repressurization the pressure is expected to decrease
less.
5. After 3-4 cycles, the pressure should be rapidly lowered to
75% of the working pressure by letting water out of the
line.
6.1 After closing the valve, the pressure should increase
as the result of the tendency of the pipe to decrease
its volume.
6.2 If the pressure decreases instead of increases
investigate for the reason for pressure loss, for example,
leakages at the fittings.

Repair Instructions of PEXGOL pipe in water

lines. Diameters: 63mm to 500mm
PEXGOL pipes may be damaged as a result of uncareful
digging.
1. Small hole, up to 5 cm diameter:
1.1 Uncover the pipe, 2 meters along the pipe and 0.5
meter below the pipe.
1.2 Carefully clean the soil from the pipe and make
ensure no scratches extend beyond the repair area.
1.3 Use a repair fitting, supplied by Golan or a branchoff saddle.
2. Large hole need
2.1 Uncover the pipe, 3 meters along the pipe, 0.5
meters below the pipe.
2.2 Cut out the section of the pipe with the hole and
replace with a new section.
2.3 In most cases the maximum length of the section
to replace does not exceed 1 meter in length.
2.4 The new section will be connected by:
2.4.1 Two electrofusion repair couplers.
2.4.2 Four golan flanged couplers.
2.4.3 Two PLASSON mechanical couplers (for pipes
up to 160mm).
3. Only technicians trained by Golans field service
personnel are authorized to perform the repair.
4. Stop water flow using of common squeeze-off
techniques.

Engineering Guide

The PEXGOL Chemical Resistance List is based on

information included in the professional literature. The
list is only intended as a guide.
Changes in the composition of the medium or special
working conditions could lead to deviations. Consult the
experts of Golan Plastic Products in each specific case.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE test for PEXGOL pipes

Classification
A. Resistant. Can be used within the working pressures.
B. Conditionally resistant. Restrictions must be made as
regards pressures.
C. Conditionally resistant. Can be used within pressures
up to 60% of the working pressures.
D. Conditionally resistant. Can be used within pressures
up to 20% of the working pressures.
U. Not recommended.

32. Chemical Resistance A-Z

Chemical Resistance

1. The following procedure is an initial test for the

chemical resistance of PEXGOL pipes.
1.1. Each combination of service conditions (service
temperature, chemical concentration) constitutes
a different case.
However, for the same pipeline, the worst case
is usually the highest temperature and the
highest concentration.
2. The tested items are DUMBBELLS (also called dogbones
or coupons) made from PEXGOL pipes.
3.

3.1. The dumbbells are immersed in the same material

transported through the pipeline (same chemical
composition and same temperature) for a period
of 4 weeks.
3.2. After 2 weeks, 10 dumbbells are removed and stored.
3.3 After an additional 2 weeks, the other 10
dumbbells are removed.
3.4.
The two groups of dumbbells are packed
separately and the packages are marked
appropriately to identify the removal and storage
consitions.
3.5. The packages are to be sent to Golan for tensile
testing.
