Vinidex manufactures and distributes plastic piping systems used in the transportation of fluids, energy and data for infrastructure development, agriculture, mining and building. From its modest beginnings in Sydney in 1960, the company has experienced dynamic growth. The company now has factories and distribution centres located in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Townsville, Launceston, Perth, Adelaide, Darwin and Mildura and a significant presence in the Asia-Pacific Rim, with operations in China and Hong Kong. The first 15 years saw Vinidex establish technical and market leadership in the manufacture and supply of PVC piping systems. Regular evaluations of market trends, customer requirements and overseas developments provided the insight into the potential for polyethylene pipe, particularly in the rural and mining industries. Strategic company acquisitions from 1988 to 1990 brought technical expertise and the capacity to manufacture polyethylene pipes to 1 metre diameter. Quality Policy “Vinidex manufactures and distributes plastic piping systems used in the transportation of fluids, energy and data for infrastructure development, agriculture, mining and building. Vinidex is committed to ensuring its products and services always meet its customer’s expectations and needs, and when relevant always conform to Australian and International Standards. Vinidex will maintain strong trading partnerships with its customers and suppliers and help them meet future needs in order to develop common business. Vinidex is committed to ISO 9000 Quality Management Systems and continuous improvement throughout the company.” The 1990s saw a consolidation of Vinidex’s position as a leading supplier of pipeline systems. This was largely due to the performance and acceptance of PVC and polyethylene pipes for a wide variety of uses enabling the company to successfully challenge other piping materials such as metals, earthenware, concrete and fibre cement. Vinidex pipe and fitting systems are used in a broad cross-section of markets in fields which include: • Mining and industrial • Water, wastewater and drainage • Irrigation • Plumbing • Gas • Communications • Electrical • Power PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems Introduction.4 introduction Product Background Worldwide Use Polyethylene (PE) materials were initially introduced in the UK in 1933 and have progressively been used in the pipeline industry since the late 1930s. The physical properties of the PE materials have been continually upgraded with improvements in crack propagation resistance, increased hydrostatic pressure resistance, ductility and elevated temperature resistance resulting from developments in the methods of polymerisation. These developments have resulted in increased applications of PE in the pipeline industry in such areas as gas reticulation, water supply, mining slurries, irrigation, sewer and general industrial applications. The engineering application basis for the use of PE pipes in Europe was provided by the German Standard DIN 8074 developed in 1960, and in the UK by the British Standards Institution BS 3284 for cold water service applications developed in 1967. Progressive developments have followed European standards throughout Europe, North America and Asia, with the development of International Standards Organisation and National Specifications. The well recognised attributes of high impact resistance, ease of installation, flexibility, smooth hydraulic flow characteristics, high abrasion resistance, potable water and natural gas reticulation by gas and water utilities throughout Australia. Subsequent developments at Standards Australia resulted in the progressive development of Standard Specifications for PE compounds, PE gas pipes, PE fittings, irrigation systems, drainage, sewer and PE pipeline system installation guidelines. Recently, significant PE polymer developments have led to review of these specifications, culminating in the publication of the 1997 PE Standards AS/NZS 4130 PE Pipes and AS/NZS 4131 PE Compounds. These Standards have introduced the latest International developments and terminologies, and also provided uniform specifications throughout Australasia. Polymer developments have resulted in PE80B materials, which have improved ductility and thermal stability, plus PE100 materials for use in large diameter and high pressure applications for gas and water distribution. Large diameter PE pipelines have now become the preferred solution in many applications where the unique properties of PE provides the most cost effective solution. Vinidex provide Australia wide manufacturing and supply services for PE pipeline systems in a wide range of end use applications for pipes up to 1000 mm diameter. and excellent chemical reagent resistance have resulted in PE pipeline systems being routinely specified and used in a wide range of applications in pipe sizes up to 1600 mm diameter. Australian Use PE pipe extrusion commenced in Australia in the mid 1950s where small diameter pipes were used in irrigation, rural and industrial applications. The Australian Standards for PE pressure pipes were initially developed as ASK119 in 1962, and progressively improved and metricated as AS1159 PE Pipes for Pressure Applications in 1972 to include 1000mm diameter. These specifications provided the engineering basis for the approval and use of PE as approved pipeline materials in such applications as Introduction.5 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems introduction Pipe Extrusion Vinidex PE pipes are extruded using sophisticated, highly controlled manufacturing processes and technologies. The PE raw materials used in extrusion are compounded into pelletised form containing precise amounts of polymer, lubricants, stabilisers, antioxidants and pigments for the specific end product application. The PE compound (1) is preheated to remove moisture and volatiles and is conveyed into the extruder by a controlled rate feeder (2). The extruder (3), consists of a single screw configuration which melts and conveys the PE material along the length of the extruder barrel. The design of the extruder barrel/screw is complex and takes into account the properties of the various types of PE material grades used in pipe applications. Various zones exist along the length of the screw and act to melt, mix, de-gas and compress the PE compound. External electrical heater bands along the barrel, together with the frictional heat generated as the PE material passes through the gaps between barrel and screw provide the energy needed to fully melt the PE compound materials. The total heat input is carefully controlled to ensure full melting of the PE without thermal degradation. After passing through a mixing zone at the tip of the extruder, the PE melt then feeds into a head and die combination (4), where the melt is formed into the size of pipe required. The correct design of the head and die is essential to permit the production of pipe to Australian Standards requirements and to ensure retention of the physical properties of the PE materials. Once the molten PE pipe form leaves the die, it enters the sizing system (5), where it is initially cooled to the required dimensions. This is performed using an external vacuum pressure system where the pipe surfaces are cooled with refrigerated water sprays whilst in contact with precision machined sizing sleeves. The initially cooled pipe is then progressively passed through a series of water spray cooling tanks (6) to reduce the PE material to ambient temperature, and to finalise the pipe dimensions. As the pipe passes along the extrusion line, it is pulled along at a constant speed using a caterpillar track haul off (7). This haul off speed is closely co-ordinated with the speed of the extruder output using closed loop process controllers, to minimise built in stress in the pipe. The pipe information of size, material, class, and batch data required by Australian Standards, or by specific client specification, is then marked on the pipe by an in-line printer (8) to provide continuous branding at specified intervals. The completed pipe is then cut to standard or required length by an in-line saw (9), and then packed into stillages, or for large diameter pipes stored (10). Small diameter pipes are either cut to standard length, or coiled (11), and the finished coils are strapped in standard coil sizes.

Small diameter pipes may use compression jointing systems made from metal or plastics materials, socket fusion or electrofusion systems made from PE materials. Large diameter fittings are injection moulded or fabricated from PE pipe and joined to the pipe by butt welding and electrofusion. Details of the specific Vinidex fitting systems are contained in the Product Data section. End Treatments Vinidex PE pipes are supplied in a number of alternative end treatment configurations. Small diameter pipes are supplied with plain ends to allow jointing by butt welding, socket fusion, electrofusion, or compression fittings. Large diameter pipes are supplied with plain ends to allow jointing by electrofusion, butt welding, or mechanical couplings. Alternatively, flanges can be welded on to the ends of the pipes under factory conditions.

The low pressure polymerisation process results in linear polymer chains with short side branches. Density modifications to the resultant polymer are made by varying the amount of comonomer used with the ethylene during the polymerisation process. The high pressure polymerisation process results in polymer chains with more highly developed side branches. Density modifications to the resultant polymer are made by varying the temperatures and pressures used during the polymerisation process. The physical properties of PE materials are specific to each grade or type, and can be modified by both variations in density, and in the molecular weight distribution. General physical properties are listed in Table 2.1. A large number of grades of PE materials are used in pipe and fittings systems and the specific properties are tailored for the particular application. Advice can be obtained from Vinidex as to the most effective choice for each installation. The most general types of PE materials are as follows: Low Density PE (LDPE) LDPE has a highly branched chain structure with a combination of small and large side chains. The density of LDPE ranges between 910-940 kg/m 3 and LDPE exhibits high flexibility and retention of properties at low temperatures. The main use for LDPE in piping is in the micro irrigation or dripper tube applications with sizes up to 32 mm diameter. LDPE materials may be modified with elastomers (rubber modified) to improve Environmental Stress Crack Resistance (ESCR) values in micro irrigation applications where pipes operate in exposed environments whilst carrying agricultural chemicals. Linear Low Density PE (LLDPE) LLDPE has a chain structure with little side branching and the resultant narrower molecular weight distribution results in improved ESCR and tensile properties when compared to LDPE materials. LLDPE materials may be used either as a single polymer or as a blend with LDPE, in micro irrigation applications to take advantage of the material flexibility. Medium Density PE (MDPE) MDPE base resin is manufactured using a low pressure polymerisation process, and the limited side branch chain structure results in a material density range of 930-940 kg/m 3 . MDPE materials qualify as PE63 and PE80B in accordance with AS/NZS 4131. MDPE materials provide improved pipe properties when compared to the earlier high density materials used in pipes. These properties include life, flexibility, ductility, slow crack growth resistance and crack propagation resistance. These properties of the MDPE materials are utilised in gas reticulation, small diameter pipe coils, travelling irrigator coils and water reticulation applications. High Density PE (HDPE) HDPE base resins are manufactured by a low pressure process, resulting in a chain structure with small side branches and a material density range of 930-960 kg/m 3 . HDPE materials qualify as PE80C and PE100 in accordance with AS/NZS 4131. HDPE materials are widely used in both pressure and non pressure applications such as water supply, liners, drains, outfalls, and sewers in pipe sizes up to 1000 mm diameter. The increased stiffness of HDPE is used to advantage in such applications as electrical and communications conduits, sub-soil drainage, sewer and stormwater.

Stress regression curves are developed from short and long term pressure testing of pipe specimens. As there is a linear relationship between the logarithm of the applied stress and the logarithm of time to failure, the test points are plotted and extrapolated to an arbitrarily chosen 50 year point. 0.10 1.0 10 10 2 10 3 1 month 1 year 10 years 50 years 10 4 10 5 10 6 hours 20°C 80°C 1 2 3 4 5 10 15 20 MPa Time to Failure H o o p S t r e s s PE 100 PE 80B PE 80C In some cases, especially at higher temperatures, there is a sudden change in slope of the regression curve, known as the ‘knee’. The knee, as illustrated in Figure 2.1 represents the transition from ductile failure mode to brittle failure mode. The relationship between the curves for different test temperatures enables prediction of the position of the knee at 20°C, based on a known position at elevated temperature – see Figure 2.1. This in turn enables prediction of ductile life at 20°C. The value of the predicted hoop stress (97.5% lower confidence limit) at the 50 year point, is used to determine the MRS of the material, i.e. 6.3, 8.0 or 10.0 MPa. The hydrostatic design stress is obtained by application of a factor, not less than 1.25, to the MRS value. It is emphasised that stress regression curves form a design basis only, and do not predict system life.

It is generally known that pipes and fittings in thermoplastic material are widely used in industries where conveyance of highly corrosive liquids and gases requires high-quality construction materials, featuring excellent corrosion resistance. Stainless steel, coated steel, glass and ceramic materials can often be advantageously replaced by thermoplastic materials, ensuring safety, reliability and economic benefits under similar operating conditions. Important Information The listed data are based on results of immersion tests on specimens, in the absence of any applied stress. In certain circumstances, where the preliminary classification indicates high or limited resistance, it may be necessary to conduct further tests to assess the behaviour of pipes and fittings under internal pressure or other stresses. Variations in the analysis of the chemical compounds as well as in the operating conditions (pressure and temperature) can significantly modify the actual chemical resistance of the materials in comparison with this chart’s indicated value. It should be stressed that these ratings are intended only as a guide to be used for initial information on the material to be selected. They may not cover the particular application under consideration and the effects of altered temperatures or concentrations may need to be evaluated by testing under specific conditions. No guarantee can be given in respect of the listed data. Vinidex reserves the right to make any modification whatsoever, based upon further research and experiences. Three Different Classes of Chemical Resistance are Conventionally Used in this Guide. Class 1: High Resistance (Corrosion proof) All materials belonging to this class are completely or almost completely corrosion proof against the conveyed fluid according to the specified operating conditions. Class 2: Limited Resistance The materials belonging to this class are partially attacked by the conveyed chemical compound. The average life of the material is therefore shorter, and it is advisable to use a higher safety factor than the one adopted for Class 1 materials. Class 3: No Resistance All materials belonging to this class are subject to corrosion by the conveyed fluid and they should therefore not be used. The absence of any class indication means that no data is available concerning the chemical resistance of the material in respect of the conveyed fluid.

There are two general types of chemical attack on polymer: 1. Swelling of the polymer occurs but the polymer returns to its original condition if the chemical is removed. However, if the polymer has a compounding ingredient that is soluble in the chemical, the properties of the polymer may be changed because of the removal of this ingredient and the chemical itself will be contaminated. 2 The base resin or polymer molecules are changed by crosslinking, oxidation, substitution reactions or chain scission. In these situations the polymer cannot be restored by the removal of the chemical. Examples of this type of attack on PVC are aqua regia at 20O°C and wet chlorine gas. Factors Affecting Chemical Resistance A number of factors can affect the rate and type of chemical attack that may occur. These are: Concentration: In general, the rate of attack increases with concentration, but in many cases there are threshold levels below which no significant chemical effect will be noted. Temperature: As with all processes, rate of attack increases as temperature rises. Again, threshold temperatures may exist. Period of Contact: In many cases rates of attack are slow and of significance only with sustained contact. Stress: Some polymers under stress can undergo higher rates of attack. In general PVC is considered relatively insensitive to “stress corrosion”. Chemical Resistance Of Polyethylene The outstanding resistance of Vinidex polyethylene systems to a variety of chemical reagents, allows their use in a wide range of chemical processes. Chemical resistance of polyethylene is due to the non polar or paraffinic nature of the material and is a function of reagent concentration and temperature. Some attack may occur under specific conditions however, use of Vinidex polyethylene systems provides a cost effective solution when the behaviour of polyethylene is compared to that of alternative materials. Where rubber modified LDPE blends are used for improved ESCR properties in irrigation applications, the effect of speciality chemicals may require evaluation eg. micro-irrigation tube/ dripper tube. General Effect of Chemicals on Polyethylene Pipe: Resistant: Water, solutions of inorganic salts, weak acids, strong organic acids, strong alkaline solutions, aliphatic hydrocarbons. Has adequate resistance: Strong acids, hydrofluoric acids, fats and oils. Has limited resistance: Lower alcohols, esters, ketones, ethers, aromatic hydrocarbons, mineral oil. In most cases non-resistant: Light naphtha, fuel mixture. Completely non-resistant: Unsaturated chlorinated hydrocarbons, turpentine.

Rubber Ring Joints (Elastomers) Chemical resistance of Rubber Ring Joints may be assessed by reference to the accompanying Table 2.2 General Guide for Chemical Resistance of Various Elastomers as well as the pipe material guide. Other Fittings PE pipe systems often employ fittings and accessories manufactured from materials dissimilar to the pipe material, such as brass, aluminium, iron and polypropylene. In such cases, the designer should refer to the appropriate manufacturer for advice on the chemical resistance of these materials.

The high resistance to abrasion, flexibility, light weight, and robustness of Vinidex PE pipes, have led to their widespread use in applications such as transportation of slurries and mine tailings. Abrasion occurs as a result of friction between the pipe wall and the transported particles. The actual amount and rate of abrasion of the pipe wall is determined by a combination of: • the specific gravity of the solids • the solids content in the slurry • solid particle shape, hardness and size • fluid velocity • PE pipe material grade The interaction of these parameters means that any prediction of the rate of abrasion wear can only proceed where testing of wear rates has been performed on the specific slurry under the proposed operational conditions. Under varying test conditions the relative ranking of different pipe materials may change, and where possible testing should be performed. A comprehensive collection of case history data has been assembled by Vinidex design engineers for particular applications, and this information is available on request. In general terms, PE pipes have superior abrasion resistance to steel, ductile iron, FRP, asbestos and fibre reinforced cement pipes, providing a more cost effective solution for abrasive slurry installations. Laboratory test programs have been performed in the UK, Germany and USA to obtain relative wear comparisons for various materials using sliding and rotating pipe surfaces. The results of test programs using the Darmstadt (Germany) method of Kirschmer and reported by Meldt (Hoechst AG) for a slurry of quartz sand/ gravel water with a solids content 46% by volume and a flow velocity of 0.36m/s are shown in Figure 2.2. These were performed across a range of materials and show the excellent abrasion resistance of PE pipe materials. Similarly, Boothroyde and Jacobs (BHRA PR 1448) performed closed loop tests using iron ore slurry in a concentration range of 5 to 10% and ranked PE ahead of mild steel and asbestos cement in abrasion resistance. For most grades, the difference in abrasion resistance between MDPE (PE80B) and HDPE (PE80C and PE100) is not significant. However, Vinidex offers grades which are specifically selected to maximise abrasion resistance, whilst also maximising pressure rating and crack growth resistance. The design of fittings involving change of flow direction is critical in slurry lines. The lower the rate of change of direction, the lower the abrasion rate. For bends, a large centreline radius must be used. Where possible, a radius of at least 20 times the pipe diameter should be used, along with a long straight lead-in length containing no joints. In practice, the effective lifetime of the PE pipeline can be increased by using demountable joints to periodically rotate the PE pipe sections to distribute the abrasion wear evenly around the circumference of the pipe.

All Vinidex PE pipe systems contain antioxidants, stabilisers and pigments to provide protection under Australian construction conditions. Black PE pipes contain carbon black which act as both a pigment and an ultra violet stabiliser, and these pipes require no additional protection for external storage and use. Other colours such as white, blue, yellow or lilac do not possess the same stability as the black pigmented systems and the period of exposure should be limited to one year for optimum retention of properties. With these colour systems the external surface oxidation layers develop at a faster rate than those in carbon black stabilised PE pipes. For exposure periods longer than one year, additional protection such as covering should be adopted. Permeation Permeation of PE pipe systems from external sources may occur when the surrounding soils are contaminated. Organic compounds of the non polar, low molecular type are those which permeate most rapidly through the PE pipe walls. Accordingly, where materials such as aliphatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons and alkylated benzenes are encountered, consideration to impermeable ducting should be given. Where contamination is suspected, soil sampling should be performed and in the case of potable water transmission lines, protection to the PE pipes should be provided where contamination is found. Food Contact Applications Where the pipeline system is used for food processing or transport purposes, Vinidex PE pipes can be supplied using PE materials complying with AS 2070 - Plastics for Use in Food Contact Applications. In these applications the advice of Vinidex engineers should be obtained as to the effect of the system on food quality, and the most appropriate jointing systems to prevent detention of the food materials through the pipe system. Biological Resistance PE pipes may be subject to damage from biological sources such as ants or rodents. The resistance to attack is determined by the hardness of the PE used, the geometry of the PE surfaces, and the conditions of the installation. Small diameter irrigation applications using LDPE materials may be attacked by ants or termites due to the relatively thin wall sections and the hardness of the LDPE. In these instances the source of the ants should be treated by normal insecticide techniques. Both MDPE and HDPE material types have a higher hardness value than LDPE, and together with the thicker pipe wall sections used in PE63, PE80, and PE100 applications provide a generally resistant solution. In small diameter pipes, the thin wall sections may be damaged by termites in extreme cases. However damage often ascribed to termite attack in PE has subsequently been found to be due to other sources of mechanical damage. PE pipe systems are generally unaffected by biological organisms in both land, and marine applications, and the paraffinic nature of the PE pipe surfaces retards the build up of marine growths in service. m a t e r i a l s Applications.1 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems applications contents Summary 3 Typical Applications 4 Water Supply 4 Mine Tailings and Slurry Lines 4 Above Ground Pipelines 4 Gas Distribution 5 Submarine Pipelines 5 Relining & Rehabilitation 5 Industrial and Chemical Pipelines 6 Compressed Air 6 DWV Drainage and Trade Waste 6 Stormwater Drainage 7 Communications 7 Protective Conduits for Cables 7 Rural and Irrigation 8 Driplines 8 Aquaculture – Fish Cages 8 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems Applications.2 applications Limitation of Liability This manual has been compiled by Vinidex Pty Limited (“the Company”) to promote better understanding of the technical aspects of the Company’s products to assist users in obtaining from them the best possible performance.

Polyethyene systems offer significant advantages over ‘traditional’ iron, steel and cement systems. Primarily, the material is free from corrosion in all ground conditions and its flexibility allows it to withstand ground movement. Corrosion and joint leakage are prevalent in iron and cement systems, usually within desired lifetimes. Polyethylene offers the solution to avoiding the premature failure of pipelines in such materials. Polyethylene is basically chemically inert and therefore, unlike iron or cement, will be unaffected by acidic soil conditions or other corrosion inducing conditions. No protective layers or finishing processes are required, thus avoiding additional expense and further potential risk of failure. The flexibility of polyethylene is a key property which has greatly enhanced the value of the material to the pipeline engineer. Apart from the value in allowing substantial cost savings during installation, a polyethylene system has an inherent resistance to the effects of ground movement from temperature fluctuation or instability. Polyethylene gas and water systems have been the only systems to survive major earthquakes such as those which occurred in Kobe, Japan in 1995. Polyethylene systems can be fusion welded, so unlike rubber ring type joints or other mechanical systems, there is no risk of leakage as a result of joint distortion. Systems are fully end load bearing and costly anchorage is not required at junctions and bends. Root penetration is not a problem. The flexibility of PE pipe allows it to be coiled and supplied in long lengths, avoiding frequent joints and fittings. This flexibility and low weight has also resulted in the development of cost saving installation techniques reducing disturbance to the public and the environment. Long lengths can be pulled through holes below the ground bored by mechanical moles, avoiding the need for open cut trenches. The material lends itself readily to renovation by insertion as a lining into old, leaking pipelines, offering further cost saving solutions to the water and gas engineer. The low friction bores are not subject to scale buildup. The material is biologically inert. Polyethylene can be colour coded to suit the end application. Typically blue for water and yellow for gas, or by colour stripes on black pipe. The polyethylene pipeline system has been developed as an integrated pipe and fitting system. It has a track record of high reliability over a period now approaching 50 years. There is no cost penalty in obtaining these advantages, indeed the PE system is cost effective with a long maintenance free lifetime and low wholelife costs, and the installed system costs are often less than for traditional materials. To summarise, the principal advantages of polyethylene piping systems are: • Flexibility • Chemical resistance • Fusion welded jointing • Resistance to ground movement and end load • Cost effective installation techniques • High impact strength • Abrasion resistance • High flow capacity • Weathering resistance • Low whole life costs • Long lengths PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems Applications.4 applications Above Ground Pipelines • Ultra-violet (UV) resistance • High impact strength PE pipe is widely used in above ground applications, particularly in demanding conditions typical of mining and rural regions.

Additional sizes and pressure classes to AS/NZS 4130 requirements are added from time to time and subject to minimum quantity requirements, pipes made to specific sizes, lengths or pressure classes are available. The Standard AS/NZS 4130 includes a range of PE material designations based on the Minimum Required Stress (MRS), and classified as PE63, PE80, and PE100. When pipes are made to the same dimensions, but from different rated PE materials, then the pipes will have different pressure ratings. The relationship between the dimensions of the pipes, the PE material classification and the working pressure rating are as shown in Table 4.1. For simplicity, the dimensions of the pipe have been referred in terms of the Standard Dimension Ratio (SDR) where: Outside Diameter SDR = Wall Thickness Table 4.1 Comparison of SDR & Pressure Ratings (PN) SDR 41 33 26 21 17 13.6 11 9 7.4 PE80 PN3.2 PN4 - PN6.3 PN8 PN10 PN12.5 PN16 PN20 PE100 PN4 - PN6.3 PN8 PN10 PN12.5 PN16 PN20 PN25 Notes: PE Long term rupture stress at 20°C (MPa x 10) to which a minimum design factor is applied to obtain the 20°C hydrostatic design hoop stress.

Hydrostatic Design Stress The design of AS/NZS 4130 pipes has been based on the static working pressure operating continuously at the maximum value for the entire lifetime of the pipeline. The value of maximum hoop stress used in the selection of the pipe wall thickness is known as the Hydrostatic Design Stress (S). This value is dependent upon the type of PE material being used and the pipe material service temperature. In AS/NZS 4131, materials are classified for long term strength by the designation Minimum Required Strength (MRS). The MRS is the value resulting from extrapolation of short and long term tests to a 50 year point at 20°C. Note: See Figure 2.1 for typical stress regression curves. Table 4.3 Hydrostatic Design Stress and Minimum Required Strength – Values Material Designation Minimum Required Strength Hydrostatic Design Stress (MRS) MPa (S) MPa PE63 5.0 6.3 PE80 6.3 8.0 PE100 8.0 10.0 These standard values are polymer dependent and long term properties for each pipe grade material are established by long term testing to the requirements of ISO/DIS 9080 by the polymer producers. Individual PE grades may exhibit different characteristics and PE materials can be provided with enhanced specific properties. In these cases the advice of Vinidex engineers should be obtained. Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure where MAOP is the maximum allowable operating pressure in MPa. PN is the pipe classification in accordance with AS/NZS 4130. F is the Design Factor. For example, if the minimum value of F is chosen (F = 1.25), a PN10 pipe will have a MAOP of 1.0 MPa at 20°C. T · PD 2S+P S · MRS F MAOP · PN x 0.125 F The Hydrostatic Design Stress (S) is obtained by application of a Design or Safety Factor (F) to the MRS. See Table 4.3. The specific value selected for the Design Factor depends on a number of variables, including the nature of the transmitted fluid, the location of the pipeline, and the risk of third party damage. The wall thickness values for Series 1 pipes to AS/NZS 4130 were derived using a value of 1.25 for F, this being the minimum value applicable. AS/NZS 4131 specifics MRS values of 6.3 MPa, 8.0 MPa and 10.0 MPa for the grades designated as PE63, PE80 and PE100 respectively. The relationship between the S and MRS standard values in AS/NZS 4131 is as shown in Table 4.3.

Where installation applications are used to carry fluids other than water, then another value of the Design Factor may need to be selected. The value selected will depend on both the nature of the fluid being carried and the location of the pipeline installation. For specific installations, the advice of Vinidex engineers should be obtained. In the case of gas pipes in AS/NZS 4130, both Series 2 and Series 3, a Design Factor ranging between F = 2.0 and F = 4.0 applies depending on the specific installation conditions; see Table 4.6. Table 4.4 Typical Design Factors Pipeline Application Design Factor 20°C F Water Supply 1.25 Natural Gas 2.0 Compressed Air 2.0 LPG 2.2 Where the Design Factor is varied, then the MAOP for the particular Series 1 pipe PN rating can be calculated as follows: In the particular case of gas distribution, then the type of gas, and the pipeline installation conditions need to be considered. In this case the Design Factor is a combination of a number of sub factors (f x ) which must be factored together to give the final value for F such that: F = f 0 x f 1 x f 2 x f 3 x f 4 x f 5 MAOP · PN x 0.125 F Table 4.5 PE Pipe Pressure Ratings PN Rating Number Nominal Working Pressure MPa Head Metres PN 3.2 0.32 32 PN 4 0.40 40 PN 6.3 0.63 63 PN 8 0.80 80 PN 10 1.00 100 PN 12.5 1.25 125 PN 16 1.60 160 PN 20 2.00 200 PN 25 2.50 250 Design.7 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems d e s i g n Temperature Influences The physical properties of Vinidex PE pipes are related to a standard reference temperature of 20°C. Where physical property values are quoted to ISO and DIN Standard test methods, these are for the 20°C condition, unless otherwise quoted. Wherever PE pipelines operate at elevated temperatures, the pressure ratings (PN) must be revised. The temperature to be considered for the re rating is the pipe material service temperature, and the actual operating conditions for each specific installation must be evaluated. For long length installations a temperature gradient will exist along the length of the pipe line. This gradient will be dependent upon site conditions, and the fluid being carried will approach the ambient temperature of the surrounds. The rate of temperature loss will be determined by inlet temperature, fluid flow rate, soil conductivity, ambient temperature and depth of burial. As these factors are specific to each installation, the temperature gradient calculations are complex and in order to assist the designer, Vinidex have developed computer software to predict the temperature gradient along the pipeline. This is available on request to Vinidex design engineers. Service Lifetimes The design basis used in AS/NZS 4130 for PN rating of PE pipes to determine the minimum wall thickness for each diameter and PN rating provides for the steady and continuous application of the maximum allowable working pressure over an arbitrary period of 50 years. The selection of the long term hydrostatic design stress value (HDS) is dependent on the specific grade of PE and the pipe material service temperature. For the grades of PE materials contained in AS/NZS 4131 the specific values are contained in Table 4.3. As these values are polymer dependent, individual grades may exhibit different characteristics and materials can be provided with enhanced properties for crack resistance or elevated temperature performance. In these cases the advice of Vinidex design engineers should be obtained. Vinidex PE pipes are continually tested in combinations of elevated temperature (80°C water conditions) and pressure to ensure compliance with specification requirements. The adoption of a 50 year design life in AS/NZS 4130 to establish a value of the HDS is arbitrary, and does not relate to the actual service lifetime of the pipeline. Where pipelines are used for applications such as water supply, where economic evaluations such as present value calculations are performed, the lifetimes of PE lines designed and operated within the AS guidelines may be regarded as 70–100 years for the purpose of the calculations. Any lifetime values beyond these figures are meaningless, as the assumptions made in other parts of the economic evaluations outweigh the effect of pipe lifetime. The grades of PE specified in AS/NZS 4131 are produced by different polymerisation methods, and as such have different responses to temperature variations. Pipe Classification (PN) is based on continuous operation at 20°C and the pressure rating will be reduced for higher temperatures. In addition, as PE is an oxidising material, the lifetime of some grades will be limited by elevated temperature operation. Table 4.7 gives temperature rerating data for Vinidex pipes made to AS/NZS 4130. In these tables, allowable working pressures are derived from ISO 13761* and assume continuous operation at the temperatures listed. Extrapolation limit is maximum allowable extrapolation time in years, based on data analysis in accordance with ISO/DIS 9080**, and at least two years of test at 80°C for PE80B and PE100. Actual product life may well be in excess of these values. The performance of compounds used in the manufacture of Vinidex pipes to AS/NZS 4130 has been verified by appropriate data analysis. In addition, Vinidex offers pipes made from specialised compounds for particular applications, such as elevated temperature use. Contact Vinidex engineers for special requirements.

By the following process, assess whether life is ‘used up’ For each combination of time and temperature, estimate the proportion of life ‘used up’ by using the time/ temperature relationships in the table. If the proportion is less than unity, the material is satisfactory. 1 25 . x The data in the tables are obtained from the use of ISO 13761 and ISO/DIS 9080, and are appropriate for compounds typically used by Vinidex. Example Pumped system normally working at a maximum head, including surge of 60m. At startup, the mean pipe wall temperature is 55°C, dropping to 35°C after 1 hour. Pump operation is for 10 hours per day, with a system life of 15 years. 1. Assume PE 80B 2. Determine Pipe Class The worst situation is operation at 55°C. From Table 4.7, PN10 pipe at 55°C has an allowable working head of 60m. PN10 pipe is therefore satisfactory. 3. Determine Life Total time at 55°C = 1 x 365 x 15 = 5475h = 0.625y. From Table 4.7, L min for 55°C is 24 years, therefore proportion of time used is: Total time at 35°C = 9 x 365 x 15 = 49275h = 5.625y. From the table, L min for 35°C is 100 years, therefore proportion of time used is: Total proportion is 8.2% of life used in 15 years (6.25 years actual operation). 0.625 24 = 0.026 = 2.6% 5.625 100 = 0.056 = 5.6% Design.9 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems d e s i g n PE80B Extrapolation Permissible System Operating Head (m) Temp Limit PN 3.2 PN 4 PN 6.3 PN 8 PN 10 PN 12.5 PN 16 PN20 °C Years 20 200 32 40 63 80 100 125 160 200 25 100 30 38 59 75 94 117 150 188 30 100 28 35 55 70 88 109 140 175 35 100 26 32 50 64 80 100 128 160 40 100 24 30 47 60 75 94 120 150 45 60 22 28 44 56 70 88 112 140 50 36 21 26 41 52 65 81 104 130 55 24 19 24 38 48 60 75 96 120 60 12 18 23 35 45 56 70 90 113 65 8 17 21 33 42 53 66 84 105 70 5 16 20 31 39 49 61 78 98 75 2 14 18 28 36 45 56 72 90 80 2 13 17 26 33 41 52 66 83 PE80C Extrapolation Permissible System Operating Head (m) Temp Limit PN 3.2 PN 4 PN 6.3 PN 8 PN 10 PN 12.5 PN 16 PN20 °C Years 20 50 32 40 63 80 100 125 160 200 25 50 29 36 57 72 90 113 144 180 30 30 26 33 51 65 81 102 130 163 35 18 23 29 46 58 73 91 116 145 40 12 20 25 39 50 63 78 100 125 45 6 18 23 35 45 56 70 90 113 PE100 Extrapolation Permissible System Operating Head (m) Temp Limit PN 3.2 PN 4 PN 6.3 PN 8 PN 10 PN 12.5 PN 16 PN20 PN25 °C Years 20 200 32 40 63 80 100 125 160 200 250 25 100 30 38 59 75 94 117 150 188 233 30 100 28 35 55 70 88 109 140 175 218 35 100 26 32 50 64 80 100 128 160 200 40 100 24 30 47 60 75 94 120 150 185 45 60 22 28 44 56 70 88 112 140 175 50 36 21 26 41 52 65 81 104 130 163 55 24 19 24 38 48 60 75 96 120 150 60 12 18 23 35 45 56 70 90 113 140 65 8 17 21 33 42 53 66 84 105 130 70 5 16 20 31 39 49 61 78 98 120 75 2 14 18 28 36 45 56 72 90 113 80 2 13 17 26 33 41 52 66 83 105 Table 4.7 Temperature Rating Tables PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems Design.10 d e s i g n E Modulus The E modulus of polyethylene varies with temperature, duration of loading, stress, and the particular grade of material.

Design.11 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems d e s i g n Hydraulic Design Design Basis Vinidex Polyethylene (PE) pipes offer advantages to the designer due to the smooth internal bores which are maintained over the working lifetime of the pipelines. The surface energy characteristics of PE inhibit the build up of deposits on the internal pipe surfaces thereby retaining the maximum bore dimensions and flow capacities. The flow charts presented in this section relate the combinations of pipe diameters, flow velocities and head loss with discharge of water in PE pipelines. These charts have been developed for the flow of water through the pipes. Where fluids other than water are being considered, the charts may not be applicable due to the flow properties of these different fluids. In these cases the advice of Vinidex engineers should be obtained. There are a number of flow formulae in common use which have either a theoretical or empirical background. However, only the Hazen-Williams and Colebrook-White formulae are considered in this section. Hazen - Williams The original Hazen-Williams formula was published in 1920 in the form: v = C 1 r 0.63 s 0.54 0.001 -0.04 where C 1 = Hazen-Williams roughness coefficient r = hydraulic radius (ft) s = hydraulic gradient Colebrook - White The development from first principles of the Darcy-Weisbach formula results in the expression where and f = Darcy friction factor H = head loss due to friction (m) D = pipe internal diameter (m) L = pipe length (metres) v = flow velocity (m/s) g = gravitational acceleration (9.81 m/s 2 ) R = Reynolds Number This is valid for the laminar flow region (R 2000), however, as most pipe applications are likely to operate in the transition zone between smooth and full turbulence, the transition function developed by Colebrook-White is necessary to establish the relationship between f and R. where k = Colebrook-White roughness coefficient (m) The appropriate value for PE pipes is: k = 0.007 x 10 -3 m = 0.007 mm This value provides for the range of pipe diameters, and water flow velocities encountered in normal pipeline installations.

The charts calculate the volumes of water transmitted through pipelines of various materials, and have been proven in practical installations.

Under normal circumstances involving long pipelines these head losses are small in relation to the head losses due to pipe wall friction. However, geometry and inlet/exit condition head losses may be significant in short pipe runs or in complex installations where a large number of fittings are included in the design. The general relationship for head losses in fittings may be expressed as: where H = head loss (m) V = velocity of flow (m/s) K = head loss coefficient g = gravitational acceleration (9.81 m/s 2 ) The value of the head loss coefficient K is dependent on the particular geometry of each fitting, and values for specific cases are listed in Table 4.9. The total head loss in the pipeline network is then obtained by adding together the calculations performed for each fitting in the system, the head loss in the pipes, and any other design head losses. Worked Example What is the head loss occurring in a 250mm equal tee with the flow in the main pipeline at a flow velocity of 2 m/s? where K = 0.35 (Table 4.9) V = 2 m/s g = 9.81 m/s If the total system contains 15 tees under the same conditions, then the total head loss in the fittings is 15 x 0.07 = 1.05 metres. Flow Variations The flow charts presented for PE pipes are based on a number of assumptions, and variations to these standard conditions may require evaluation as to the effect on discharge. Water Temperature The charts are based on a water temperature of 20°C. A water temperature increase above this value, results in a decrease in viscosity of the water, with a corresponding increase in discharge ( or reduced head loss ) through the pipeline. An allowance of approximately 1% increase in the water discharge must be made for each 3°C increase in temperature above 20°C. Similarly, a decrease of approximately 1% in discharge occurs for each 3°C step below 20°C water temperature. Pipe Dimensions The flow charts presented in this section are based on mean pipe dimensions of Series 1 pipes made to AS/NZS 4130 PE pipes for Pressure applications. Surface Roughness The roughness coefficients adopted for Vinidex PE pipes result from experimental programs performed in Europe and the USA, and follow the recommendations laid down in Australian Standard AS2200 - Design Charts for Water Supply and Sewerage.

The tank is located 4.5 km away from the outlet. Hence the information available is : Q = 32 l/s Head available = 50 metres Length of pipeline = 4500 metres Minimum PN rating of pipe available to withstand the 50 m static head is PN6.3. Head loss per 100 m length of pipe is : Use Table 4.1 to select the SDR rating of PN6.3 class pipes in both PE80, and PE100 materials. 50 4500 100 1 11 100 x m m · . / Figure 4.1 Gravity Flow Example Maximum difference in water level 50m Discharge 4,500m of Vinidex PE Pipe Storage tank PE80 Material Option PE80 PN6.3 pipe is SDR 21.

The tank has a maximum water elevation of 100 m and the minimum water elevation in the dam is 70 m. The maximum flow velocity is required to be limited to 1.0 metres/second to minimise water hammer effects. The maximum head required at the pump = static head + pipe friction head + fittings form loss 1. Static head = 100 - 70 = 30 m 2. Pipe friction head Considering the data available, start with a PN6.3 class pipe. PE80 Option From Table 4.1, PE80 PN6.3 pipe is SDR21. Use the SDR 21 flow chart, find the intersection of the discharge line at 20 l/s and the velocity line at 1 m/s. Select the corresponding or next largest size of pipe. Where the discharge line intersects the selected pipe size, trace across to find the head loss per 100m length of pipe. This gives a value of 0.5m/100m. Calculate the total friction head loss in the pipe: Figure 4.2 Pumped Flow Example Maximum difference in water level - 30m 90° Elbow Gate Valve Pump Gate Valve 2x90° Elbows Hinged Disc Foot Valve with Strainer RL 100m RL 70m Min Level of Dam Reflux Valve 45° Elbow 5,000m of Vinidex PE Pipe 45° Elbow Square Outlet 90° Elbow Storage Tank Max Level of Tank Then from the flow chart, estimate the velocity of flow This gives 1 m/s. 4.

However, for a considerable period the pipes run at less than full flow conditions and in these circumstances they act as open channels with a free fluid to air surface. In these instances consideration must be given to maintaining a minimum transport velocity to prevent deposition of solids and blockage of the pipeline. For pipes flowing part full, the most usual self cleansing velocity adopted for sewers is 0.6 metres/second. Example 3.

For Vinidex PE pipes to AS/NZS 4130, operating under the following limitations, it is not necessary to make specific allowance for fatigue effects: (a) The maximum pressure in the pipe from all sources must be less than the pressure equivalent to the Classification of the pipe (PN). and (b) The amplitude between minimum and maximum pressure from all sources must not exceed the pressure equivalent to the Classification of the pipe (PN). Care must be taken to ensure that the minimum pressure does not reach a level that may result in vacuum collapse (see External Pressure Resistance, page Design.36). Surge may take the form of positive and/ or negative pressure pulses resulting from change of flow velocity, such as arising from valve or pump operation. Such changes of flow velocity lead to induced pressure waves in the pipeline. P t t P c 2 1 · ] ] ] t L C · 2 C · W 1 K + SDR E | . ` , ] ] ] −0 3 .5 m x 10 / sec P C V 1 · . This represents the case of a single pipeline with the flow being completely closed off. The pressure rises generated by flow changes in PE pipelines are the lowest generated in major pipeline materials due to the relatively low modulus values. Further, as medium density materials have lower modulus values than high density materials, the pressure rise in PE80B materials will be lower than that in PE80C and PE100 materials. Water hammer (surge) analysis of pipeline networks is complex and beyond the scope of this Manual. Where required, detailed analysis should be undertaken by experts. The velocity of the pressure wave, referred to as celerity (C), depends on the pipe material, pipe dimensions, and the liquid properties in accordance with the following relationship: where W = liquid density (1000 kg/m 3 for water) SDR = Standard Dimension Ratio of the pipe K = liquid bulk modulus (2150 MPa) E = pipe material short term modulus (MPa) refer Table 4.8 The time taken for the pressure wave to travel the length of the pipeline and return is where: t = time in seconds L = length of pipeline If the valve closure time t c is less than t, the pressure rise due to the valve closure is given by: where: P1 = pressure rise in kPa v = liquid velocity in m/sec If the valve closure time t c is greater than t, then the pressure rise is approximated by: PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems Design.28 d e s i g n Celerity The surge celerity in a polyethylene pipeline filled with liquid can be determined by: where W = liquid density (1000 kg/m 3 for water) SDR = Standard Dimension Ratio of the pipe K = liquid bulk modulus (2150MPa) E = pipe material ‘instantaneous’ modulus (taken as 1000MPa for PE80B, 1200MPa for PE80C, 1500MPa for PE100) Table 4.10 Surge Celerity Celerity m/s SDR MDPE (PE 80B) HDPE (PE 80C) HDPE (PE 100) 41 160 170 190 33 170 190 210 26 190 210 240 21 220 240 260 17 240 260 290 13.6 270 290 320 11 300 320 360 9 330 350 390 7.4 360 390 430 C W K SDR E x m · + | . ` , ] ] ] ] − 1 10 0 5 3 . / sec Design.29 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems d e s i g n Slurry Flow General Design Considerations The abrasion resistance characteristics and flexibility of Vinidex PE pipes make slurry flow lines, such as mine tailings, ideal applications for the material and such installations are in widespread use throughout Australia. The transportation of Non Newtonian fluids such as liquids or liquid/liquid, liquid/solid mixtures or slurries is a highly complex process and requires a detailed knowledge of the specific fluid before flow rate calculations can be performed. As distinct from water, many fluids regarded as slurries have properties which are either time or shear rate dependent or a combination of both characteristics. Hence it is essential for the properties of the specific fluid to be established under the operating conditions being considered for each design installation. In addition to water flow, slurry flow design needs to take into account the potential for abrasion of the pipe walls, especially at changes of direction or zones of turbulence. The most usual applications of Vinidex PE pipes involve liquid/solid mixtures and these must first be categorised according to flow type: • Homogeneous Suspensions • Heterogeneous Suspensions Homogeneous Suspensions Homogeneous suspensions are those showing no appreciable density gradient across the cross section of the pipe. These slurries consist of material particles uniformly suspended in the transport fluid. Generally, the particle size can be used to determine the flow type and suspensions with particle sizes up to 20 microns can be regarded as homogeneous across the range of flow velocities experienced. Heterogeneous Suspensions Heterogeneous suspensions are those showing appreciable density gradients across the cross section of the pipe, and are those containing large particles within the fluid. Suspensions containing particle sizes of 40 microns and above may be regarded as heterogeneous. In addition to the fluid characterisations for both types, the tendency for solids to settle out of the flow means that a minimum flow velocity must be maintained. This velocity, the Minimum Transport Velocity, is defined as the velocity at which particles are just starting to appear on the bottom of the pipe. The flow in short length pipelines differs in that these lines may be flushed out with water before shut down of operations. Long length pipelines cannot be flushed out in the same way and the selection of operating velocities and pipe diameter needs to address this aspect. The design of slurry pipelines is an iterative process requiring design assumptions to be made initially, and then repeatedly being checked and tested for suitability. The specific fluid under consideration requires full scale flow testing to be conducted to establish the accurate flow properties for the liquid/ particle combinations to be used in the installed pipeline. Without this specific data, the assumptions made as to the fluid flow behaviour may result in the operational pipeline being at a variance to the assumed behaviour. The principles of slurry pipeline design as outlined in the methods of Durand, Wasp, and Govier and Aziz are recommended in the selection of Vinidex PE pipes for these applications. Note: The published Vinidex PE pipe flow charts relate ONLY to water or other liquids which behave as Newtonian fluids. They are not suitable for calculating the flow discharges of other fluids, including slurries. For further information on slurry pipeline design, the designer is referred to such publications as Govier G.W. and Aziz K, The Flow of Complex Mixtures in Pipes. Rheinhold, 1972. and Wasp E.J.

It is particularly resistant to abrasion from particles less than 500 microns in size depending on particle shape. The abrasive wear of any slurry handling system is heavily dependent on the physical characteristics of the solids being transported. These characteristics include angularity, degree of particle attrition, angle of attack, velocity, and the concentration of solids in the transporting fluid. With metal pipes, corrosive wear interacts synergistically with abrasive wear, producing rates of wear that can be many times greater than a simple combination of the two modes of wear. Corrosive attack on a piping material can lead to increasing roughness of the surface, loss of pressure and localised eddying, and hence increase the abrasive attack. Factors Affecting Rates of Wear The wall of polyethylene pipes are worn by contact with the solids particles. The principal causes of wear are as follows: • Particle Size • Particle Specific Gravity • Velocity • Angle of Attack Particle Size The size of the particle combined with the requisite velocity is one of the principal factors which contribute to wear. The rate of wear increases with particle size with very little wear occurring on polyethylene systems below 300 microns. Above this size the rate of wear will increase proportionally with particle size with the maximum practical D 50 size around 1mm. Many researchers have attempted to develop relationships between particle size and rates of wear, however, these have not proven to be accurate due to the wide variation of slurry characteristics. The wear mechanism involved is not thoroughly understood, however, it is believed the higher impact energy resulting from a combination of particle mass and the high velocity required to transport this larger particle are the principal contributing factors. Particle Specific Gravity Similarly, the specific gravity will increase the mass of the particle resulting in increased wear. This is a result of the increased impact energy from the mass of the particle combined with the faster carrier velocity. Velocity A minimum velocity is required to provide the necessary uplift forces to keep a solid particle in suspension. This velocity also increases the impact energy of the particle against the wall of the pipe. Angle of Attack There are essentially two modes of wear, impingement and cutting. Cutting wear is considered to be caused by the low angle impingement of particles. In practice, cutting wear comprises a cutting action, and the accommodation of some of the energy of impact within the matrix of the material being worn. Hence, cutting wear also incorporates a component of deformation wear. The requirement for wear is that some of the solid particles must have sufficient energy to penetrate and shear a material, perhaps gouging fragments loose. As a result, a low modulus material such as polyethylene has very good resistance to cutting wear due to the resulting deformation upon impact. In the case of angular particles the cutting action is increased resulting in increased pipe wear. The simple theory of abrasive wear suggests that specific wear (wear per unit mass transported) is proportional to normal force at the pipe wall. Therefore the wear rate will increase as the angle of attack to the pipe wall increases. The increase in angle will also increase the amount of energy with which the particle strikes the pipe wall. It is for this reason that accelerated wear is caused by: i) Fittings which effect a change in the angle of flow such as tees and bends ii) Butt weld joints. Butt weld internal beads will cause eddying which will result in increases in angle of attack of the particle to the pipe wall. As a result accelerated wear generally occurs immediately downstream of the bead. This is usually prominent in D 50 particle sizes over 300 microns. For coarse particle slurries the internal bead should be removed. Design.31 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems d e s i g n Maintenance and Operation To reduce the cost of wear on a pipeline asset it is general practice to rotate the pipes at the appropriate intervals, this is particularly important when transporting sand slurries. In this respect mechanical joints are useful, although re-welding of pipes over 500mm has been preferred in some cases to reduce capital costs. These mechanical joints are usually installed at every 20m pipe length to assist the pipe rotation process and also permit clearance of blockages. Slurry pipelines are usually operated as close to the critical settling velocity as practical to reduce operating costs. Unfortunately, if an increase in particle size occurs, then saltation will commence increasing friction loss eventually resulting in a blockage. Other factors that cause blockages are increases in solids concentration, loss of pump pressure due to power failure, or pump impellor wear. Polyethylene pipelines may be cleared of blockages by clear water pumping provided they have been installed on flat even ground. Sudden vertical ‘V’ bends with angles over 10° may cause an accumulation of solids in the bore, preventing clearing by clear water pumping. If vertical bends are unavoidable then they should be installed with mechanical joints to permit their easy removal for clearing. Fittings A range of mechanical joints are available for polyethylene slurry pipelines. They include stub flanges and backing rings, Hugger couplings, shouldered end/Victaulic couplings, compression couplings and rubber ring joint fittings.

At connections of mechanical fittings some misalignment of the mating faces may occur resulting in increased angles of attack of the particles. iv) Change in velocity. Some compression fittings cause a reduction in the internal diameter of the pipe under the fitting resulting in turbulence. A mismatching valve bore will also cause turbulence. It is for this reason that the use of clear bore valves such as knife gate valves is preferred for slurry pipelines. v) Increased velocity. High velocities are required to create sufficient turbulence for the suspension of heavy particles. This turbulence increases the angle of attack to the pipe wall, resulting in increased wear for large particles. vi) Insufficient velocity. When a system is operated near its settling velocity, the heavier particles migrate towards the lower half of the pipe cross section. This will cause a general increase in pipe wear in this area. If saltation/moving bed occurs, then the heavy particles will impact against the pipe bottom, causing an accelerated wave profile wear. Should deposition occur on the floor of the pipe, then the particles above this deposition will cause the maximum amount of wear as they interact with the flow. This is characterised by the formation of wave marks on the 5 and 7 o’clock position of the pipe.

The use of compressible liquids in PE pipes requires a number of specific design considerations as distinct from the techniques adopted in the calculation of discharge rates for fluids such as water. In particular: • Compressed air may be at a higher temperature than the surrounding ambient air temperature, especially close to compressor line inlets, and the pressure rating of the PE pipes require temperature re rating accordingly. For air cooled compressors, the delivered compressed air temperature averages 15°C above the surrounding air temperature. For water cooled compressors, the delivered compressed air temperature averages 10°C above the cooling water temperature. • For underground applications where the PE pipes are exposed to ambient conditions, the surrounding air temperature may reach 30°C, and the pipe physical properties require adjustment accordingly. • High pressure lines must be mechanically protected from damage especially in exposed installations. • Valve closing speed must be reduced to prevent a build up of pressure waves in the compressible gas flow. • Where gaseous fuels such as propane, natural gas, or mixtures are carried, the gas must be dry and free from liquid contamination which may cause stress cracking of the PE pipe walls. • Vinidex PE pipes should not be connected directly to compressor outlets or air receivers. A 21 metre length of metal pipe should be inserted between the air receiver and the start of the PE pipe to allow for cooling of the compressed air. • Dry gases, and gas/solids mixtures may generate static electrical charges and these may need to be dissipated to prevent the possibility of explosion. PE pipes will not conduct electrical charges, and conducting inserts or plugs must be inserted into the pipe to complete an earthing circuit. • Compressed air must be dry, and filters installed in the pipeline to prevent condensation of lubricants which can lead to stress cracking in the PE pipe material. Design.33 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems d e s i g n System Design Guidelines for the Selection of Vinidexair Compressed Air Pipelines It is customary to find the Inside Diameter of the pipe by using formulas such as shown below. The formulas used are generally for approximation purposes only, surmising that the temperature of the compressed air corresponds roughly to the induction temperature. An acceptable approximation is obtained through the following equation: 4 Using point (3) draw a diagonal line to the separation line. 5 Go to top of nomogram and use the point indicating the Length of Pipe and draw a line down to meet horizontal line from point (4). 6 Move to the Pressure Decrease in the Pipe (∆p) at the bottom of nomogram and draw a vertical line up to meet the diagonal drawn from point (5). 7 The Nominal Diameter of Pipe can now be found by reading from point (6) across to the left hand side of the nomogram. From this example DN63 pipe should be selected. If the completed nomogram falls between two sizes of pipe, always use the larger size. Correction factors for fittings Table 4.11 indicates the approximate pressure loss for fittings in terms of an equivalent length of straight pipe in metres. For each pipeline fitting, add the equivalent length of pipe to the original length of pipeline. This length is used for the calculation of the equation above or for the nomogram, Figure 4.4. The advantage of using the nomogram is that no further conversion factors are required for pipe sizing. Also, when four of the parameters are known the fifth can be determined by reading directly from the nomogram.

This is in common with all pipe materials and in order to determine the actual amount of expansion or contraction, the actual temperature change, and the degree of restraint of the installed pipeline need to be known. For design purposes, an average value of 2.0 x 10 -4 /°C for Vinidex PE pipes may be used. The relationship between temperature change and length change for different PE grades is as shown in Figure 4.5. Worked Example A 100 metre long PE80C pipeline operates during the day at a steady temperature of 48°C and when closed down at night cools to an ambient temperature of 18°C. What allowance for expansion/contraction must be made? 1. The temperature change experienced = 48 - 18 = 30°C. 2. The thermal movement rate (Figure 4.5) in mm/m for 30°C = 6.0 mm/m. 3. The total thermal movement is then 6.0 x 100 = 600 mm. Where pipes are buried, the changes in temperature are small and slow acting, and the amount of expansion/contraction of the PE pipe is relatively small. In addition, the frictional support of the backfill against the outside of the pipe restrains the movement and any thermal effects are translated into stress in the wall of the pipe. Accordingly, in buried pipelines the main consideration of thermal movement is during installation in high ambient temperatures. Under these conditions the PE pipe will be at it’s maximum surface temperature when placed into a shaded trench, and when backfilled will undergo the maximum temperature change, and hence thermal movement. In these cases the effects of temperature change can be minimised by snaking the pipe in the trench for small sizes (up to DN110) and allowing the temperature to stabilise prior to backfilling. For large sizes, the final connection should be left until the pipe temperature has stabilised. Above ground pipes require no expansion/contraction considerations for free ended pipe or where lateral movement is of no concern on site. Alternatively, pipes may be anchored at intervals to allow lateral movement to be spread evenly along the length of the pipeline. Where above ground pipes are installed in confined conditions such as industrial or chemical process plants the expansion/contraction movement can be taken up with sliding expansion joints. Where these cannot be used due to the fluid type being carried ( such as slurries containing solid particles ) the advice of Vinidex design engineers should be sought for each particular installation.

All flexible pipe materials can be subject to buckling due to external pressure and PE pipes behave in a similar fashion to PVC and steel pipes. For pipe of uniform cross-section, the critical buckling pressure (P c ) can be calculated as follows: where P c = critical buckling pressure, kPa E = modulus, MPa from Table 4.8 SDR = pipe SDR from Table 4.1 As the modulus is temperature and time dependent, the advice of Vinidex engineers should be sought for appropriate values. Where ovality exists in the PE pipes, the effective value of the critical buckling pressure will be reduced. The reduction in P c for various levels of initial ovality are as follows: Ovality % 0 1 2 5 10 Reduction 1.0 0.99 0.97 0.93 0.86 Where pipes are buried and supported by backfill soil, the additional support (P b ) may be calculated from: P b = 1.15 (P c E´) 0.5 Where E´ = soil modulus from AS/NZS2566 - Buried Flexible Pipelines. P c · 2380 • E SDR −1 ( ) 3 Tabulations of the value of E´ for various combinations of soil types and compac- tions are contained in AS/NZS2566. The value of P c calculated requires a factor of safety to be applied and a factor of 1.5 may be applied for those conditions where the negative pressure conditions can be accurately assessed. Where soil support is taken into account then a factor of 3 is more appropriate due to the uneven nature of soil support. In general terms, PN10 PE pipe should be used as a minimum for pump suction line installations. Where installation conditions potentially lead to negative pressures, consideration may need to be given to modification of construction technique. For example, ducting pipes may need to be sealed and filled with water during concrete encasement. In operation, fluid may be removed from the pipeline faster than it is supplied from the source. This can arise from valve operation, draining of the line or rupture of the line in service. Air valves must be provided at high points in the line and downstream from control valves to allow the entry of air into the line and prevent the creation of vacuum conditions. On long rising grades or flat runs where there are no significant high points or grade changes, air valves should be placed at least every 500-1000 metres at the engineer’s discretion.

These cover depths are indicative only, and specific installations should be evaluated in accordance with AS/NZS 2566 - Buried Flexible Pipelines. The minimum cover depths listed may be reduced where load reduction techniques are used, such as load bearing beams, concrete slabs, conduit sleeves, or increased backfill compaction. Trench Widths In general practice, the trench width should be kept to the minimum that enables construction to readily proceed. Refer to Figures 4.6 and 4.7. The trench width used with PE pipe may be reduced from those used with other pipe types by buttwelding, or electrofusion jointing above ground, and then feeding the jointed pipe into the trench. Similarly, small diameter pipe in coil form can be welded or mechanically jointed above ground and then fed into the trench. The minimum trench width should allow for adequate tamping of side support material and should be not less than 200mm greater than the diameter of the pipe. In very small diameter pipes this may be reduced to a trench width of twice the pipe diameter.

The side support material should be evenly tamped in layers of 75 mm for pipes up to 250mm diameter, and 150 mm for pipes of diameters 315mm and above. Compaction should be brought evenly to the design value required by AS/NZS 2566 for the specific installation. Backfill Once the sidefill has been placed and compacted as required over the top of the pipe, backfill material may be placed using excavated material. Trench backfills should not be used as a dump for large rocks, builders debris, or other unwanted site materials. The maximum trench width should be restricted as much as possible, depending on the soil conditions. This is necessary to reduce the cost of excavation, and to develop adequate side support. Where wide trenches or embankments are encountered, then the pipe should be installed on a 75 mm layer of tamped or compacted bedding material as shown on the cross section diagrams. Where possible a sub trench should be constructed at the base of the main trench to reduce the soil loads developed. AS/NZS 2566 provides full details for evaluating the loads developed under wide trench conditions. Bedding PE Pipes should be bedded on a continuous layer, 75 mm thick, of materials complying with the following requirements: • Sand, free from rocks or other hard or sharp objects retained on a 13.2mm sieve. • Gravel or crushed rock of suitable grading up to a max. size of 15mm. •. The excavated material, free from rocks and broken up such that it contains no clay lumps greater than 75mm which would prevent adequate compaction.

In general terms, a minimum bending radius of 33 x outside diameter of the pipe (33D) can be adopted for PE80C, and PE100 material pipes, whilst a radius of 20 x outside diameter of the pipe (20D) can be adopted for PE63, and PE80B material pipes during installation. This flexibility enables PE pipes to accommodate uneven site conditions, and, by reducing the number of bends required, cuts down total job costs. For certain situations, the designer may wish to evaluate the resistance to kinking or the minimum bending radius arising from strain limitation. The long term strain from all sources should not exceed 0.04 (4%).

For joint types which do not resist end loads, plus fabricated fittings which incorporate welded PE pipe segments, anchorage support must be provided in order to prevent joint or fitting failure. In addition, appurtenances such as valves, should be independently supported in order to prevent excessive shear loads being transferred to the PE pipe.

The pressure used in the calculations should be the maximum working, or test pressure, applied to the line. Bearing Loads of Soils The thrust developed must be resisted by the surrounding soil. The indicative bearing capacities of various soil types are tabulated below: The figures in the table below are for horizontal thrusts, and may be doubled for downward acting vertical thrusts. For upward acting vertical thrusts, the weight of the thrust block must counteract the developed loads. In shallow (<600mm) cover installations or in unstable conditions of fill, the soil support may be considerably reduced from the values tabulated, and a complete soil analysis may be needed.

Where cast insitu concrete is used, an adequate curing period must be provided to allow strength development in the concrete before pressure is introduced to the pipeline.

Where PE pipes are used to replace existing metal water pipes, the designer must consider any existing systems used for earthing or corrosion control purposes. In these cases the appropriate electrical supply authority must be consulted to determine their requirements. In dry, dusty, or explosive atmospheres, potential generation of electricity must be evaluated and static dissipation measures adopted to prevent any possibility of explosion. Heat Sources PE pipes and fittings should be protected from external heat sources which would bring the continuous pipe material service temperature above 80°C. Where the PE pipes are installed above ground, the protection system used must be resistant to ultra violet radiation and the effects of weathering, PE pipes running across roofing should be supported above the roof sheeting in order to prevent temperature build up. See Table 4.7 Temperature Rating Table. Vibration Direct connection to sources of high frequency such as pump outlet flanges should be avoided. All fabricated fittings manufactured by cutting and welding techniques must be isolated from vibration. Where high frequency vibration sources exist in the pipeline, the PE sections should be connected using a flexible joint such as a repair coupling, expansion joint, or wire reinforced rubber bellows joint. When used above ground such joints may need to be restrained to prevent pipe end pullout. d e s i g n Installation.1 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems installation contents Handling & Storage 3 Site Preparation 5 Thrust Blocks & Pipe Restraint 7 Pipeline Curvature 7 Relining & Sliplining 8 Pipeline Detection 10 Above Ground Installation 11 Accommodation of Thermal Movement by Deflection Legs 13 Service Connections 14 Concrete Encasement 14 Fire Rating 14 Testing & Commissioning 15 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems Installation.2 installation Limitation of Liability This manual has been compiled by Vinidex Pty Limited (“the Company”) to promote better understanding of the technical aspects of the Company’s products to assist users in obtaining from them the best possible performance.

Pipes may be supplied to customer requirements in either small diameter pipe in coil lengths up to 9500m, or in straight lengths up to 25m. Vinidex PE pipes are robust, flexible, and offer the installer many cost saving advantages. Whilst they are resistant to site damage, normal care and good housekeeping practices are necessary to ensure trouble free operations. Handling Handling of Vinidex PE pipes is made easier due to the light weights of both coiled and straight length pipe. Care must be exercised however, to avoid damage to the pipe walls, pre-assembled end fittings, or sub assemblies. Safety aspects need to be addressed, as the nature of PE pipes is such that in cold and wet weather the pipes become slippery and difficult to handle. In these circumstances, additional care should be exercised when handling coils or bundles of pipe. In hot weather, especially with black pipes, the pipe surface may reach 70°C, when the ambient temperatures reach 40°C. Handling PE pipes at these temperatures requires gloves, or other protection, to prevent the possibility of skin burns. Fabric slings are recommended for lifting and handling PE pipe in order to prevent damage. Where wire ropes or chains are used, then all of the contact points between the slings and the pipe must be protected by suitable padding. Where pipes are in coils, the slings must be placed evenly around the entire coil. Similarly, where coils or straight lengths are lifted by fork lift the contact points must be protected. When lifting coils, the lifting must be performed on the entire coil, and the fork lift tynes not inserted into the coil winding. When lifting packs of pipes, the tynes must be placed under the entire pack, and the tynes not pushed into the pack. Pipes must not be lifted by placing metal hooks into the ends of straight lengths. In conditions approaching freezing, the impact resistance of PE reduces, and care must be exercised to prevent damage during handling. Pipe lengths greater than 6 metres should be lifted using a spreader bar, and wide band slings. PE pipes will flex during lifting, and care needs to be exercised to prevent damage to pipes or end fittings arising from contact with the ground. Care needs to be taken to centre the pipe in the slings. A reduction in the pipe wall thickness of up to 10% may be tolerated. However, sections with sharp notches should be rejected, or the damaged area buffed out to remove the sharp edges. Transport PE pipes stacked for transport must be evenly supported in order to prevent distortion. All bearing surfaces must be free from contact with sharp objects. Any projecting sections such as stub flanges must be supported to prevent damage. For straight lengths of pipe, suitable support beneath the pipes is provided by beams of minimum width 75 mm, spaced horizontally at 1.5 m centres. For rectangular stacks, additional vertical supports at 3 metre spacing should be used. For pyramid stacks, the bottom pipe layers also need to be chocked to prevent stack collapse. For large diameter pipes (DN 630 and above) it may be necessary to tom, or internally support the ends of the pipe in order to prevent distortion. Where end treatments such as flanges are applied in the factory, these treatments must be protected from damage. Where coils are stacked vertically the stacks may need to be restrained in order to prevent the bottom section of the coil being flattened or distorted.

Storage Straight length pipes must be supported by timber spacers of minimum width 75mm placed at 1.5 metre centres. The recommended maximum height of long term stacks is as listed in Table 5.1. Where pipes are crated, the crates may be stacked on timber to timber, in stacks up to 3 metres high. PE pipes are capable of supporting combustion, and need to be isolated from ignition sources. PE pipes must be kept away from high temperature sources, and not be in contact with objects of temperature higher than 70 ° C. Storage of PE pipes in field locations may be subject to fire regulations, and the requirements of the local authorities must be observed. Black pipes do not need protection from the effects of UV exposure, but coloured pipes, if potentially exposed for longer than 6 months, may need protection. In selecting the method of protection consideration may need to be given to temperature effects, as elevated temperatures may lead to pipe distortion. Installation.5 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems installation Site Preparation Trench Preparation All other services must be located (such as telephone conduits, gas, water mains, sewers, electrical conduits, and cable TV conduits) in the area of the PE pipeline before any work commences. This may require some localised excavation, and all safety requirements must be observed. When pipes are installed on the natural surface, the pipeline route must be clear of obstructions and where required, sufficient space must be allowed for expansion/contraction movement. PE pipes may be joined outside the trench, allowing narrower trenches and consequent reduced excavation cost. PE pipes have a density less than that of water, and may float if water is present in the trench, and the pipes are not restrained. Trench excavations need to be kept free of water, and if necessary, dewatering equipment installed. Trench Widths Table 5.2 lists recommended trench widths. These values are consistent with the principles that trench width should be as narrow as possible in order to minimise external loads and installation costs, whilst also affording sufficient space to provide the specified compaction. The actual trench width adopted will be influenced by the soil conditions, the jointing systems, and whether joints are made in the trench. Table 5.2 Recommended Trench Widths Pipe Diameter ( mm ) Minimum Trench Width (mm) 16 to 63 150 75 to 110 250 125 to 315 500 355 to 500 700 630 to 710 910 800 to 1000 1200 Table 5.3 Minimum Cover Installation Condition Cover over pipe crown (mm) Open Country 300 Traffic Loading No pavement 450 Sealed pavement 600 Unsealed pavement 750 Construction equipment 750 Embankment 750 Poor soil conditions may necessitate a wider trench to accommodate support structures or dewatering equipment, and the ready removal of this equipment after the pipes have been laid. Where such supports are used, they must be removed with care, in order to prevent disturbance of pipe, bedding or trench walls. Pressure pipes, especially in rural areas, may be installed in narrow trenches with sufficient space to allow the backfill of the trench. No additional compaction may be necessary, and the natural soil consolidation allowed to occur with time. Where PE pipes are installed with other services in common trench situations, the trench width may be specified by Local Authority regulations in order to permit later maintenance activities. Trench Depths Where the PE pipe grade line is not specified, the cover over the top of the PE pipes needs to be set so that adequate protection from external loads, third party damage, and construction traffic is provided. Where possible, pipes should be installed under minimum depth conditions and, as a guide, the values listed in Table 5.3 above should be adopted. Trench walls in poor soil conditions may need to be excavated in steps, or be battered, to prevent collapse of the trench wall materials. For embankment installations, a sub trench may be excavated once the embankment has been partly built up, in order to help protect the PE pipes from construction vehicles, and also lessen the external loads acting on the pipe. PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems Installation.6 installation Side Support & Overlay PE pipes act as flexible pipes to resist external loading, and the side support materials must be evenly added to the same compaction standards as the bedding materials so that the installed PE pipe is not disturbed. Sidefill materials should be built up equally on both sides of the pipes in layers of 150mm, and compacted evenly to the AS/NZS 2566 design level. The sidefill materials must be carefully placed around the haunches of the pipes to ensure that the PE pipes are evenly supported. Vibrating plate compactors must not be used until there is a 300mm layer of overlay soil over the crown of the PE pipe. Detector tapes, or marker strips, should be laid on top of the overlay once a layer of 150mm soil has been compacted. The overlay materials should be built up in compacted layers until the overlay material is to a level of a minimum of 150 mm above the top of the PE pipes. (See Figure 5.1). Large diameter (450 mm and above) PE pipes require the overlay materials to be carried to a cover of 300mm above the top of the PE pipes. Backfill The remainder of the trench, or embankment fill may be made with the previously excavated native materials. These must be free from large rocks, vegetable matter, and contaminated materials, and all materials must have a maximum particle size less than 75 mm. Where PE pipelines are installed in areas with high external loads, then the backfill materials must be of the same standard as the bedding and overlay materials. Figure 5.1 Trench Installations Figure 5.2 Embankment Installations Bedding Material The excavated trench floors must be trimmed even, and be free from all rocks, and hard objects. In poor soil conditions, an additional layer of imported bedding material may need to be introduced, and a geofabric restraint of bedding/backfill material may be required. The bedding materials used in both trenchs and embankments shall follow the guidelines of AS2033, and should be one of the following: 1. Sand or soil, free from rocks greater than 15 mm, and any hard clay lumps greater than 75 mm in size. 2. Crushed rock, gravel, or graded materials of even grading with a maximum size of 15 mm. 3. Excavated material free from rocks or vegetable matter. 4. Clay lumps which can be reduced to less than 75 mm in size. Excavated materials in accordance with 3. and 4. above are often used for pressure pipelines and in rural areas. However, in areas of high loading, such as under roads, imported materials may need to be used. In the majority of PE pipe applications, a minimum of 75 mm of bedding material is used in both trenches and embankments in soil excavations. For excavations in rock, 150 mm bedding depth may be required. Where fittings or mechanical joints are used, the bedding material may need to be excavated to prevent point loading. All pegs and markers used in aligning and levelling the pipes must be removed from the trench floor prior to bedding materials being placed. Compaction Standards It is essential that the AS/NZS 2566 compaction levels are attained, as PE pipes behave as flexible structures. Large diameter PE pipe installations may require the compaction at each stage of the installation to be confirmed by test. Where high external loads are encountered, or where it is not possible to attain the required level of compaction in the sidefill materials, a mixture of sand/cement in the ratio of 14:1 may be used in the sidefill zones. The selection of compaction standard used in the sidefill materials needs to be taken from AS/NZS 2566 for the sidefill materials available on the particular site.

The thrust blocks must be provided at all changes in direction. The standard methods of calculating the size of thrust blocks for all pipeline materials are those used with PE pipes and are contained in the Design section of this manual. Where concrete blocks are used, the contact points between the PE pipe, or fitting and the thrust block must be protected to prevent abrasion of the PE. Rubber or malthoid sheeting may be used for this purpose. All fittings and heavy items such as cast iron valves must be supported in order to prevent point loading on the PE materials. In addition, where valves are used, the torque loads arising from the opening/closing operations must be resisted with block supports. Pipeline Curvature All PE pipes installed on a curved alignment must be drawn evenly over the entire curve length, and not over a short section. This can lead to kinking in small diameter, and/or thin wall pipes. Large diameter PE pipes (450mm and above) must be joined together, and then drawn evenly to the desired radius. Care must be exercised during construction to prevent over stressing of joints and fittings. Where mechanical joints are used, any joint deflection limitations must be observed. During installation, minimum radii of 20 x DN for MDPE (PE63 and PE80B) and 33 x DN for HDPE (PE80C and PE100) may be used. In addition, evaluation of buckling resistance of thin wall pipes may be necessary. This should be done as shown in the Design Section of this Manual. PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems Installation.8 installation Relining & Sliplining Vinidex PE pipes have the chemical resistance properties and longitudinal flexibility to provide an ideal solution for relining existing corroded or damaged pipelines in water supply, sewers, and drain applications. Existing pipelines used to transport aggressive and dangerous fluids may be restored by relining techniques, and cost effective solutions are provided by eliminating the need for open cut trenches in urban and heavily built up areas. Installations can be planned around off peak traffic periods to minimise disruption and reduce installation times. Existing pipelines can be renovated by inserting Vinidex PE pipes into the old pipes. Insertion pipes can be pulled into position by mechanical winches. Although insertion of the PE pipes will reduce the internal diameter of the pipeline, the effective flow capacity of the renovated line may in fact be greater than the existing installation due to the improved pipe wall friction factors of PE as compared to the existing pipe with heavily corroded or damaged internal surfaces. Inspection of the existing line should be performed by CCTV to provide data as to the actual likely flow friction factors. Relining with PE pipes provides a structural element that is capable of withstanding either internal pressure or external loading without relying on the residual strength of the original degraded pipe elements. Installation.9 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems installation The PE pipes require short length inlet and exit trenches to accommodate the PE pipe radius to lead into the existing pipeline, and the winch assembly used to pull the PE liner along the pipeline. The minimum bending radius of the PE liner can be calculated as described under Pipeline Curvature in this section of the manual. LG H R H 1 4 = − ( ) LG H R H 2 2 = − ( ) The dimensions (Refer to Figure 5.3) of excavations required for slip lining are: 1. Where the PE insert pipe is on the natural surface level 2. Where the PE insert pipe is at a height H above the natural surface level where H = depth to invert of existing pipeline R = radius of liner pipe Grouting Grouting of the gap between the outside diameter of the PE liner, and the inside of the existing pipe is necessary only when the original pipe has been damaged to the extent that there is no residual external load capacity, or where manhole connections cannot be sealed off to prevent groundwater infiltration. Where grouting is applied, the pressure should not exceed 50 kPa, and depending on the PN rating of the PE liner pipe, external collapse calculations should be carried out. Where cement based grouts are used, the temperature rise in the PE liner due to the heat of hydration must be taken into account. The PE liner pipes may be filled with water prior to grouting to increase the external pressure resistance, and to provide additional line weight to prevent the PE liner pipe floating during grouting, and losing the final grade line.

Several techniques are available to detect buried PE pipelines. Metal Detector Tapes Foil based tapes may be located in the trench on top of the PE pipe overlay material ( 150 - 300 mm above the PE pipe crown ), and these tapes can be detected at depths up to 600 mm by metal detection equipment operating in the 4 - 20 MHz frequency range. The tape backs may also be colour coded and printed in order to provide early warning of the presence of the PE pipeline during later excavation. Tracer Wires PE pipes installed deeper than 600 mm may be detected by the use of tracer wires placed on, or taped to, the top of the PE pipes. Application of a suppressed current allows the detection of pipes up to a depth of 3 metres. However, both ends of the tracer wire must be accessible, and a complete electrical circuit present over the entire length of the pipeline. Audio Detection Acoustic, or ultra sonic, noise detection devices are available which use either the noise from water flowing in the pipes, or an introduced noise signal, to detect the presence of buried PE pipelines. Excavation Sliplining existing pipes using Vinidex PE pipes allows for a reduction of excavation in built up areas. Only the excavation necessary to feed the PE liner pipe into the existing line is required and depending on the total length of the line and the location of existing manholes, a liner length of approximately 100 metres may be drawn along the line in each section. For small diameter pipes, the PE can be supplied in Vinidex pipe reels. This allows for a single run of PE to be inserted into existing pipe without the need for intermediate jointing. Where the existing service cannot be taken out of service, or temporarily blocked off during the relining process, extra excavation may be required to allow for the installation of a temporary diversion line. Jointing the Liner Depending on the diameter of the pipe, a single length of PE pipe can be installed to provide a single length of seamless liner. For larger (160mm and above) PE pipes can be butt welded above ground on site to provide a continuous length pipe which can be inspected for joint integrity before installation. The butt weld process provides a joint which resists longitudinal load and has the same chemical resistance properties as the pipe. The external diameter weld bead sections may be mechanically removed prior to insertion to prevent any possibility of snagging on damaged sections, or protrusions, in the bore of the existing pipe to be relined. Where weld beads are removed, care must be taken not to notch the PE pipe wall. Butt welded joints must be allowed to cool to ambient temperature prior to drawing into the final position so as to prevent any damage to the joint section. Installation.11 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems installation Supports Pipe hangers, or supports, should be located evenly along the length of the PE pipeline, and additionally at localised points with heavy items such as valves, and fittings. The supports should provide a bearing surface of 120° under the base of the pipes. The PE pipes may need to be protected from damage at the supports. This protection may be provided by a membrane of PE, PVC or rubber. Location and type of support must take into account provision for thermal movement, if required. If the supports are to resist thermal movement, an assessment of the stress induced in pipes, fittings and supports may need to be made. Support Spans Support spans depend on the pipe material and dimensions, nature of flow medium, operating temperature, and arrangement of the pipes. In calculating support spans, a maximum deflection of spans/500 between supports has been adopted as the basis. The spans in Table 5.4 are based on the use of PE80B (MDPE), full of water, support over multiple spans, and operating at 20°C for 50 years. For other service temperatures, the spans should be reduced as follows: 30°C 5% 40°C 9% 50°C 13% For fluids with density between 1000 kg/m 3 and 1250 kg/m 3 , decrease spans by 4%. For Vinidexair systems, the spans may be increased by up to 30%. Above Ground Installation Vinidex PE pipes may be installed above ground for pressure and non pressure applications in both direct exposure and protected conditions. Black PE pipes made to AS/NZS 4130 requirements may be used in direct sunlight exposure conditions without any additional protection. Where PE pipes of colours other than black are used in exposed conditions, then the pipes may need to be protected from sunlight. Where PE pipes are installed in direct exposure conditions, then the increased PE material temperature due to exposure must be taken into account in establishing the operational pressure rating of the PE pipes. Localised temperature build up conditions such as proximity to steam lines, radiators, or exhaust stacks must be avoided unless the PE pipes are suitably protected. Where lagging materials are used, these must be suitable for external exposure applications. For Vinidex Geberit waste systems, the pipes are manufactured specifically for the application and reference should be made to Vinidex engineers for comprehensive installation details.

This may be achieved in lines laid directly on the natural surface by snaking the pipe during installation and allowing the pipe to move freely in service. Where the final joint connections are made in high ambient temperature, sufficient pipe length must be allowed to permit the pipe to cool, and hence contract, without pulling out of non end load bearing joints. Installation.13 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems installation Accommodation of Thermal Movement by Deflection Legs Changes in length are caused by changes in operating temperatures. On installation of piping systems above ground, attention must be paid to compensate for axial movements. In most cases, changes in direction in the run of piping may be used to absorb length change, given that appropriate deflection legs are provided. Otherwise, compensation loops or special fittings may need to be installed. Table 5.5 lists minimum deflection leg lengths for given run length changes. See Figures 5.4 and 5.5. For non-pressure applications, these values may be reduced by 30%, or for Vinidex Geberit systems, up to 60%. For specific data, reference should be made to Vinidex engineers.

Where expansion joints are provided in the concrete slab, expansion joints should be provided at the same point in the pipeline. At these points a flexible membrane should be provided to prevent shear stresses developing across the joint. PE pipes behave as flexible structures when externally loaded, and care needs to be exercised by the designer when using concrete encasement so that the effective strength of the pipeline is not reduced. Fire Rating PE pipe systems will support combustion and as such are not suitable for use in fire rated zones in buildings without suitable protection. The individual fire rating indices for PE materials may be established by testing to the requirements of AS1530. In multiple storey buildings PE systems penetrating floor cavities must be enclosed in fire rated service ducts appropriate to the Class of the building concerned. Service Connections Tapping Saddles Service connections may be provided in PE pipe systems using tapping saddles which are either electrofusion or mechanically connected. Tapping saddles should not be installed closer than 100mm to prevent reduction in pressure capacity in the pipeline. A range of tapping saddles suitable for use with Vinidex PE pipes are listed in the Product Data section of this manual. Tapping saddles may be used for tappings up to 30% of the size of the main pipe or a maximum diameter of 50mm. Where larger offtake sizes are required, then a reducing tee section should be used. Tapping saddles of the mechanical strap type should not be used on curved pipes. Tapping saddles of the saddle fusion, or electrofusion type should only be used on the top of curved lines, and not be closer to the end of the pipe than 500mm. Connection may then be made without loss of the operating service. Alternatively, tapping may be performed on new main lines prior to pressurisation, and entry into service using the same techniques. Direct Tapping The tapping of services directly into the pipe wall by drilling and tapping a thread in the wall material is not recommended in PE pipes. This practice may lead to premature failure of the system. Installation.15 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems installation Testing & Commissioning Pressure Installations Pre Test Precautions Prior to testing, the entire PE pipeline should be checked to ensure all debris and construction materials are removed from contact with the pipes and fittings. Where concrete anchor or thrust blocks are used no pressure testing should take place within 7 days of casting the blocks. All mechanical ring seal joints must be restrained either by sand bags, or by partial backfilling of the line leaving the joints open for visual inspection. All valves must be placed in the open position, and a valve provided at the end of the line to allow air to be vented from the line during filling. Where thermal fusion jointing has been used, no testing should take place until the joints have completely cooled to ambient temperature. Local authority regulations may differ between each other in the pressure testing routines, and individual requirements must be followed at all times. Pressure Testing Test water should be slowly introduced into the PE pipeline until all air is purged from the line and water flows freely at the end of the line. The water should preferable be introduced into the pipeline at the lowest point to assist the removal of air. It is essential that all air is removed from the line prior to commencing the test procedure. Entrapped air can result in erroneous pressure/time recordings. Test sections may be either the complete line, or, in large installations, in sections such that the test section can be filled with water within 5 hours to allow pressure observations. Pressure should be built up evenly in the line without pressure shock. A test pressure of 1.25 times the maximum working pressure should be applied for pipelines up to 110 mm in diameter and 100 metres in length and also for testing valve anchorages. The test pressure in these instances should be held for a minimum period of 15 minutes, and the pressure gauges inspected for pressure drop readings. In addition, all joints must be visually inspected for evidence of weeping or leakage. For large diameter pipes, and for pipeline lengths up to 800 metres, the elastic properties of PE are such that the introduction of test pressures will cause expansion in the line and require make up pressure to restore gauge readings. This volume make up will generally be in the order of 1%, and may be applied at the time of initial pressurisation. The test pressure of 1.25 times the maximum working pressure should be maintained for a maximum period of 24 hours, or for the time necessary to visually inspect all joints in the line. A smaller drop in pressure may be observed due to thermal expansion. However, this does not indicate leakage in the pipeline. Where the installation consists of small additions to existing pipelines the test pressure period may be 15 minutes. The maximum test pressure to be applied must not exceed 1.25WP. Test pressure in excess of this value may strain the pipe material and damage control appliance s connected to the pipeline. High pressure testing using air must not be carried out. Note: Where the time of pressure testing exceeds 15 minutes, increases in pipe temperature above 20°C may occur. In these cases the test pressure must be derated. Refer to Table 4.7 in the Design section of this manual. PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems Installation.16 Non Pressure Installations 1. Above Ground All sections of the installation should be sealed off and water introduced through a stand pipe to provide a static head of 3 metres above the top point in the PE pipeline. All openings in the PE pipeline must be sealed, or plugged, before starting testing. Either water or air testing may be performed on non pressure PE pipelines, depending on the availability of test water, or the ability to drain the test water away from the pipeline alignment after the testing is completed. 2. Below Ground (a) Water Testing For PE drain lines, a riser pipe should be fitted at the top point in the pipeline to allow a minimum water head of 1 metre to be applied. For waste water applications, a water test pressure of a maximum of 1.25 WP ( maximum head at the lowest point ) should be applied by either a stand pipe connection, or using a test pump. The test water should be introduced evenly into the pipeline, and brought up to pressure after allowing all entrapped air to be purged out of the line. All joints and connections should be inspected for leakage, and the test pressure maintained for a minimum period of 15 minutes after the final joint has been inspected, or for a period of 30 minutes. No leakage or loss of pressure should take place in this period. Large diameter installations may require a period of up to 8 hours to allow for complete inspection of all joints in the pipeline network. (b) Air Testing Where water is unavailable, or undesirable, for testing then air testing may be performed. All openings must be sealed prior to testing, and air pumped slowly into the PE pipeline until a test pressure of 50KPa is reached. This test pressure should be maintained for a minimum time of 3 minutes, and if no leaks are detected, or pressure loss observed on the gauge, the air supply control valve should be turned off and the test pressure held for a minimum time of 1 minute. If the test gauge pressure reading has not fallen below 35KPa after this time, then the test should be discontinued. Should the test pressure drop below 35KPa after 1 minute, then the pressure should be returned to 50KPa and maintained until a full inspection of the PE pipeline has been completed. All joints and connections need to be individually inspected for leakage using a solution of water and detergent poured over any suspect joint. If a leak is present, it will cause the detergent solution to bubble, and foam. Deflection Testing PE drainage pipelines are designed to support external loading within the acceptable limits of diameter deflection for structural reasons. Where this is a critical feature of the installation, then a plug, or proving tool, can be pulled along the PE pipeline between manholes, or other entry points. For joints without any protrusions into the pipe bore, the proving plug can be sized to the minimum internal dimension allowed in the design. For butt welded pipes, unless the internal beads are removed, the plug needs to be reduced in size to allow for the weld bead. In both cases, the plug must be able to be pulled completely through the PE pipeline. Flushing and Disinfection Where Vinidex PE pipes are used for potable water applications, standard flushing and disinfection procedures must be followed. Some pipe materials require additional flushing or disinfection in order to purge contamination rising from the pipe material itself. Vinidex PE pipes, however, are made from PE grades that comply with water quality requirements without additional treatment. For potable water applications, the following procedure may be used: 1. Flush out all construction debris from the pipes by running water through the line for 15 minutes. 2. Carry out the hydrostatic pressure testing. 3. Introduce a chlorine, or chloramine, solution into the line at a concentration of 50 mg/l, and allow to stand for 24 hours. 4. Flush out the pipeline for 15 minutes to remove all disinfectant and biological residues from the water. installation Jointing.1 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems j o i n t i n g contents Jointing Methods 3 Thermal Fusion Process 3 Butt Fusion 3 Electrofusion 5 Socket Fusion 6 Mechanical Joint Fittings 7 Flanged Ends 8 Hugger Bolted Couplings 8 Threads 8 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems Jointing.2 j o i n t i n g Limitation of Liability This manual has been compiled by Vinidex Pty Limited (“the Company”) to promote better understanding of the technical aspects of the Company’s products to assist users in obtaining from them the best possible performance.

Methods include mechanical joints and a range of thermal fusion procedures. The nature of the PE materials precludes the use of adhesive based systems. Thermal Fusion Processes Thermal fusion proceeds by melting the PE material at the joint surfaces, bringing the molten surfaces together under closely controlled pressures, and holding the surfaces together until the joint has cooled. In all thermal fusion processes, the field pipe jointing should only be performed by trained fusion operators using properly maintained and calibrated fusion machines. The fusion compatibility of PE materials must be established before welding, and if doubts exist then the advice of Vinidex engineers should be sought. Butt Fusion Butt fusion is generally applied to PE pipes within the size range 90 mm to 1000 mm for joints on pipes, fittings, and end treatments. Butt fusion provides a homogeneous joint with the same properties as the pipe and fittings materials, and ability to resist longitudinal loads. Butt fusion machines need to be sufficiently robust to align and pressurise the pipe ends within close tolerances, and to provide heating and pressurisation of the jointing surfaces within required parameter tolerances. All butt fusion should be performed under cover, and the ends of the PE pipes blocked off to assist with temperature control and prevent contamination of the joints. The butt fusion process consists of the following steps which are shown in principle in Figure 6.2. 1. The pipes must be installed in the welding machine, and the ends cleaned with non depositing alcohol to remove all dirt, dust, moisture, and greasy films from a zone approximately 75 mm from the end of each pipe, on both inside and outside diameter faces. 2. The ends of the pipes are trimmed using a rotating cutter to remove all rough ends and oxidation layers. The trimmed end faces must be square and parallel. 3. The ends of the PE pipes are heated by contact under pressure against a heater plate. The heater plates must be clean and free from contamination, and maintained within a surface temperature range of 190 ° C to 225 ° C (depending on the size of the pipe). Contact is maintained until even heating is established around the pipe ends, and the contact pressure then reduced to a lower value called the heat soak pressure. Contact is then maintained until the appropriate heat soak time elapses. 4. The heated pipe ends are then retracted and the heater plate removed. The heated PE pipe ends are then brought together and pressurised evenly to the welding pressure value. This pressure is then maintained for a period to allow the welding process to take place, and the fused joint to cool down to ambient temperature and hence develop full joint strength. The pressure adopted in this phase should be in the range 0.15MPa to 0.18MPa on the ends of the pipes. During this cooling period the joints must remain undisturbed and under compression. Under no circumstances should the joints be sprayed with cold water. The combinations of times, temperatures, and pressures to be adopted depends on the PE material grade, the diameter and wall thickness of the pipes, and the brand and model of fusion machine being used. Vinidex engineers can provide guidance in these parameters. The final weld beads should be fully rolled over, free from pitting and voids, correctly sized, and free from discolouration. When correctly performed, the minimum long term strength of the butt fusion joint should be 90% of the strength of the parent PE pipe.

The most reliable methods of weld evaluation are the destructive type. Destructive test methods require tensile testing of welds and pipe in order to establish the strength of the weld as a percentage of pipe strength. Flexural testing may also be required in order to evaluate the effect of any joint misalignment. Hydrostatic pressure testing will not determine the strength of butt welds, due to the stress across the plane of the butt weld being only 50% of the hoop stress in the pipe section. Weld beads are normally left in place on the pipe section, unless required to be removed from the outside diameter to allow slip lining, or from the inside diameter to prevent potential material blockage in sewer rising mains. Jointing.5 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems j o i n t i n g Electrofusion Vinidex PE electrofusion system consists of moulded couplings, tapping saddles, and fittings with electric elements contained in the fitting. (Figure 6.3). When a controlled electrical current is passed through the resistance wire, there is a temperature increase, the resulting heat being transferred to the jointing surfaces until melting occurs. The joint surfaces are held under pressure until cooled. Vinidex electrofusion fittings require a 39.5 (40) Volt power source provided by a control box from a 240 Volt 50Hz, single phase supply. Where a generator is used, this requires a minimum power of 3 kVA. If multiple control boxes are used on a project, then a 5 kVA generator may be required. Vinidex electrofusion fittings use a single connection pin of 4.7 mm diameter. Electrofusion control boxes must not be used in explosive atmospheres. In deep trenches, tunnels, or mine workings, the power source may require approval by the local electricity utility. All electrofusion joints must be carried out under cover to prevent contamination by dust, moisture and dirt, and be clamped to prevent movement in the joint until the cooling period has been completed. 1. Cut the pipes square, and mark the pipes at a length equal to the socket depth. 2. Scrape the marked section of the pipe spigot to remove all oxidised PE layers to a depth of approximately 0.3mm. Use a hand scraper, or a rotating peel scraper to remove the PE layers. Do not use sand paper. Leave the electrofusion fittings in the sealed plastic bag until needed for assembly. Do not scrape the inside of the fitting, clean with an approved cleaner to remove all dust, dirt, and moisture. 3. Insert the pipe into the coupling up to the witness marks. Ensure pipes are rounded, and when using coiled PE pipes, re rounding clamps may be needed to remove ovality. Clamp the joint assembly. 4. Connect the electrical circuit, and follow the instructions for the particular power control box. Do not change the standard fusion conditions for the particular size and type of fitting. 5. Leave the joint in the clamp assembly until the full cooling time has been completed.

Socket fusion consists of jointing couplings, and fittings with a close tolerance moulded socket section into which the pipe or fitting spigot is inserted. The fusion process is achieved by heating the spigot, and socket jointing surfaces above the crystalline melt point temperature of PE by insertion into a heated element tool. The heated joint sections are then assembled, and held until cooling to ambient temperature takes place. See Figure 6.4. The heater elements are PTFE coated, and at all times must be kept clean and free from contamination. The heater tools need to be set and calibrated to maintain a surface temperature range of 260°C +/- 5°C. All jointing must be performed under cover to prevent contamination of the joints by dust, dirt, or moisture. 1. Cut the pipes square, clean the spigot section with a clean cloth and a non depositing alcohol to the full depth of the socket. Mark the length of the socket. Clean the inside of the socket section. 2. Scrape the outside of the pipe spigot to remove the oxidised layer from the pipe. Do not scrape the inside of the sockets. 3. Confirm the temperature of the heating elements, and ensure that the heating surfaces are clean. 4. Push the spigot, and socket sections on to the heating elements to the full length of engagement, and allow to heat for the appropriate period. See Table 6.1. 5. Pull the spigot and socket sections from the heating elements, and push together evenly to the full length of engagement without distortion of the joints. Clamp the joints and hold until fully cooled. The weld flow bead should then appear evenly around the full circumference of the socket end. The completed joints must be allowed to cool fully to ambient temperature before performing pressure tests.

These are used in conjunction with metal backing plates, and rubber sealing gaskets in order to provide a demountable joint. Sealing gaskets are made from natural rubber or polychloroprene depending on the fluid being carried. Where hot fluids or chemical reagents are carried, the suitability of the sealing gasket material must be determined, and the advice of Vinidex engineers obtained. The sealing gaskets must be clean and free from creases when fitted to the flange assembly. Flanges are available across the full size range of Vinidex PE pipes (up to 1000mm diameter), and to the same pressure PN rating as the pipes. Metal backing plates are available in hot dip galvanised form, and thickness to AS 2129, and AS 4087 as required. The thickness of the metal backing plate must be assessed for the operating pressures in each particular pipeline using the requirements of AS 2129 and AS 4087. The fixing bolts must be tightened evenly around the flange. Bolts must not be over tightened, and a torque wrench should be used to prevent buckling of the metal backing plate. Hugger Bolted Couplings Bolted couplings are fitted directly to the ends of the PE pipes, and the serrated inside section of the coupling grips the outside diameter of the PE pipe, providing longitudinal restraint. The central rubber sealing ring provides a pressure seal. The ends of the PE pipes must be cut square, and be free from all dirt and grease when pushed together, without a gap between the pipe ends. The seal ring must be clean, and fitted evenly over the ends of the pipe. The coupling housing must be fitted evenly over the rubber ring, and the bolts tightened fully. Threads The cutting of threads is not recommended. Where threaded fittings are used then : 1. Only PTFE tape should be used as a sealant. Hemp, paste, and petroleum compounds must not be used. 2. The joint should be made firm by hand, or by strap wrench to prevent over straining of the joint. Serrated jaw wrenches must not be used. 3. Where possible, the pipeline system should be designed so as to ensure that PE/metal thread joints are such that the male thread is PE, and the female thread form is metal.

T PE Pressure Pipe product.data Product Data.11 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems Polyethylene Pipe Reels PE Pressure Pipe Vinidex polyethylene pipe is now available coiled on large reels. The reels are capable of carrying pipe sizes from 20mm to 125mm diameter in lengths from 250 metres up to 9.5 kilometres. The availability of extended pipe lengths allows continuous runs of pipe with minimal jointing, reducing labour and material costs. Further advantages are ease of handling and speed of pipe installation. The increased rate at which pipe can be laid also minimises disruption caused by pipe installation. Site restoration work can start almost immediately and well-planned medium size projects can be completed within a day. Applications The polyethylene pipe reels have been proven in the field on a range of projects, including: • Mains relining • Mains replacement by pipe bursting/ cracking techniques • Gas distribution pipelines • Agricultural and horticultural irrigation • Golf course watering systems • Direct lay and directional boring • Plough-in Customer benefits • Longer pipe lengths • Ease of handling • Improved rate of laying • Lower installation costs • Shorter installation time • Minimal joints • Ability to control wastage • Protection against damage • Minimal site storage Reel Sizes – Class A Reels Pipe Size Quantity 125mm 250m 110mm 300m 90mm 400m 75mm 600m Reel Sizes – Class B Reels Pipe Size Quantity 75mm 600m 63mm 900m 50mm 1500m 40mm 2400m 32mm 3800m 25mm 6500m 20mm 9500m product.data PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems Product Data.12 AS/NZS 4130 - Series 2 PE 80C BLACK PIPE SDR 13.6 SDR 11 SDR 17.6 O.D.

The Plasson - Fusamatic Automatic control box reads the fitting resistor and automatically sets and welds for the correct weld time and avoids operator error. Fittings are also labelled for barcode reading, manual set times and have rising melt indicators. Terminal pin diameter is 4.9mm. QUALITY • Plasson has incorporated a quality assurance system in accordance with ISO 9002. • Standardsmark licence No. 2018 - AS 4129 (INT). MANUAL WELDING • Plasson - Fusamatic fittings are labelled with weld and cool times and can be welded with other manufacturers’ 40 V (non - automatic) control boxes. SPECIFICATIONS • Threads on transition fittings conform to DIN 2999, BSZI : 1973, AS 1722 Part 1 - 1975. • For oval pipe use rerounding clamps. If ovality causes a gap between concentrically located pipe and fitting to exceed 1% of pipe OD then the pipe must be rerounded to ensure correct welding. After rerounding, if the gap still exceeds 1% of pipe OD, then check the pipe OD dimension as it may be an under specified OD. Note: The maximum gap between eccentrically located pipe and fitting (i.e. pipe touching fitting at one point) must not exceed 2% of pipe OD. See diagram. • Cutter sizes: From 20mm to 32mm depending on pipe and outlet size. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS Resistance to internal pressure – APPROVAL TESTS Plasson electrofusion socket fittings are tested to PN rating using the test method defined by ISO1167. The samples are prepared to conform to ISO/TC 138/SC 5 requirements with minimum temperature -10°C and maximum temperature +45°C. The test pressures are calculated as specified by: • PREN 1555-3 (water systems) • PREN 122201-3 and ISO/DIS 8085-3 (gaseous fuel systems) Joint Strength The joint strength of Plasson electrofusion socket fittings is assessed according to GBE/PL2: Part 4, appendices J and K (crush test and peel test). Determination of Fitting Cooling Time Fitting cooling time is determined according to GBE/PL2: Part 4, appendix H with the following exceptions: • Pipe and coupler are conditioned to 45°C before fusion as opposed to 23°C. • Maximum power conditions are simulated using V = 41.0 volts as opposed to 40 V. Assessment of Fitting Resistance Tolerance Band The resistance tolerance band is determined according to GBE/PL2: Part 4, appendix G with the following exceptions: • Pipe and coupler are conditioned to 45°C before fusion as opposed to 23°C. • Maximum power conditions are simulated using V = 41.0 volts as opposed to 40 V. Assessment of Safety Factor for Weld The factor of safety is assessed according to the procedure laid out in AFNOR NF T 54-066, appendix H. Fittings also comply with maximum pressure ratings in AS1460 – 2 1989 Part 2, and are rated PN16 for water (PN7 for gas) when extrapolated from Class 15 to PN16 test requirements. Warning: Do not weld saddles to 40, 50, & 63 SDR 11 live gas pipe where internal pressure exceeds 4 BAR, as pipe damage will occur due to pipe softening.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE Plasson polypropylene fittings are supplied, as standard, with Nitrile (NBR) rings and acetal split rings which are suitable for water supply and many chemical handling applications. For many chemicals however, NBR and acetal are unsuitable and Plasson spare rings of either EPDM or VITON (FPM) should be used to replace the nitrile rings. CPVC split rings are also available to replace acetal. Generally nitrile is good in oily applications whilst EPDM or VITON are more suitable in acidic applications. A brief indication of chemical resistance at 20°C follows: O Rings Plasson Nut Split Rings NBR (1) EPDM (2) FPM (2) + Body PP (1) Acetal (1) CPVC (2) Benzene 0 - + 0 + - Brine + + + + + + Slaked Lime + + + + + Compressed Air cont. oil + - + + + + Caustic Soda + + 0 + + + Fuel Oil + - + + + 0 Hydrchloric Acid - + + + - + Nitric Acid dilute - + + + - + Carbolic Acid - + + + Lube Oils + - + + + + Phosphoric Acid 0 + + + + + Sulphuric Acid dilute - + + + - + + suitable 0 medium resistance - unsuitable FPM although the most resistant is expensive – EPDM is usually the economical solution. Generally, if EPDM or FPM O Rings are required, then CPVC split rings should be used in place of standard acetal split rings. This is intended as a guide only. Tapping Saddles used in chemical applications or permanently buried situations may require stainless steel bolts and nuts. In many sizes the NBR ring can be replaced with EPDM or FPM.

Vinidex manufactures and distributes plastic piping systems used in the transportation of fluids, energy and data for infrastructure development, agriculture, mining and building. From its modest beginnings in Sydney in 1960, the company has experienced dynamic growth. The company now has factories and distribution centres located in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Townsville, Launceston, Perth, Adelaide, Darwin and Mildura and a significant presence in the Asia-Pacific Rim, with operations in China and Hong Kong. The first 15 years saw Vinidex establish technical and market leadership in the manufacture and supply of PVC piping systems. Regular evaluations of market trends, customer requirements and overseas developments provided the insight into the potential for polyethylene pipe, particularly in the rural and mining industries. Strategic company acquisitions from 1988 to 1990 brought technical expertise and the capacity to manufacture polyethylene pipes to 1 metre diameter. The 1990s saw a consolidation of Vinidex’s position as a leading supplier of pipeline systems. This was largely due to the performance and acceptance of PVC and polyethylene pipes for a wide variety of uses enabling the company to successfully challenge other piping materials such as metals, earthenware, concrete and fibre cement. Vinidex pipe and fitting systems are used in a broad cross-section of markets in fields which include: • • • • • • • • Mining and industrial Water, wastewater and drainage Irrigation Plumbing Gas Communications Electrical Power Quality Policy “Vinidex manufactures and distributes plastic piping systems used in the transportation of fluids, energy and data for infrastructure development, agriculture, mining and building. Vinidex is committed to ensuring its products and services always meet its customer’s expectations and needs, and when relevant always conform to Australian and International Standards. Vinidex will maintain strong trading partnerships with its customers and suppliers and help them meet future needs in order to develop common business. Vinidex is committed to ISO 9000 Quality Management Systems and continuous improvement throughout the company.” PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems Introduction.3 introduction Product Background Worldwide Use Polyethylene (PE) materials were initially introduced in the UK in 1933 and have progressively been used in the pipeline industry since the late 1930s. The physical properties of the PE materials have been continually upgraded with improvements in crack propagation resistance, increased hydrostatic pressure resistance, ductility and elevated temperature resistance resulting from developments in the methods of polymerisation. These developments have resulted in increased applications of PE in the pipeline industry in such areas as gas reticulation, water supply, mining slurries, irrigation, sewer and general industrial applications. The engineering application basis for the use of PE pipes in Europe was provided by the German Standard DIN 8074 developed in 1960, and in the UK by the British Standards Institution BS 3284 for cold water service applications developed in 1967. Progressive developments have followed European standards throughout Europe, North America and Asia, with the development of International Standards Organisation and National Specifications. The well recognised attributes of high impact resistance, ease of installation, flexibility, smooth hydraulic flow characteristics, high abrasion resistance, and excellent chemical reagent resistance have resulted in PE pipeline systems being routinely specified and used in a wide range of applications in pipe sizes up to 1600 mm diameter. Australian Use PE pipe extrusion commenced in Australia in the mid 1950s where small diameter pipes were used in irrigation, rural and industrial applications. The Australian Standards for PE pressure pipes were initially developed as ASK119 in 1962, and progressively improved and metricated as AS1159 PE Pipes for Pressure Applications in 1972 to include 1000mm diameter. These specifications provided the engineering basis for the approval and use of PE as approved pipeline materials in such applications as potable water and natural gas reticulation by gas and water utilities throughout Australia. Subsequent developments at Standards Australia resulted in the progressive development of Standard Specifications for PE compounds, PE gas pipes, PE fittings, irrigation systems, drainage, sewer and PE pipeline system installation guidelines. Recently, significant PE polymer developments have led to review of these specifications, culminating in the publication of the 1997 PE Standards AS/NZS 4130 PE Pipes and AS/NZS 4131 PE Compounds. These Standards have introduced the latest International developments and terminologies, and also provided uniform specifications throughout Australasia. Polymer developments have resulted in PE80B materials, which have improved ductility and thermal stability, plus PE100 materials for use in large diameter and high pressure applications for gas and water distribution. Large diameter PE pipelines have now become the preferred solution in many applications where the unique properties of PE provides the most cost effective solution. Vinidex provide Australia wide manufacturing and supply services for PE pipeline systems in a wide range of end use applications for pipes up to 1000 mm diameter.

This haul off speed is closely co-ordinated with the speed of the extruder output using closed loop process controllers. or coiled (11). to minimise built in stress in the pipe. The PE raw materials used in extrusion are compounded into pelletised form containing precise amounts of polymer. Various zones exist along the length of the screw and act to melt. The design of the extruder barrel/screw is complex and takes into account the properties of the various types of PE material grades used in pipe applications.1 Typical Pipe Extrusion Line 1 2 3 Raw Material Batching Extruder 4 5 6 7 Head & Die Sizing Cooling Haul Off 8 9 10 11 12 Print Station Saw Storage/Coiling Dispatch PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems Introduction.

The initially cooled pipe is then progressively passed through a series of water spray cooling tanks (6) to reduce the PE material to ambient temperature. together with the frictional heat generated as the PE material passes through the gaps between barrel and screw provide the energy needed to fully melt the PE compound materials. As the pipe passes along the extrusion line. The PE compound (1) is preheated to remove moisture and volatiles and is conveyed into the extruder by a controlled rate feeder (2). The extruder (3). where it is initially cooled to the required dimensions. consists of a single screw configuration which melts and conveys the PE material along the length of the extruder barrel. antioxidants and pigments for the specific end product application. it is pulled along at a constant speed using a caterpillar track haul off (7).

Medium Density PE (MDPE) MDPE base resin is manufactured using a low pressure polymerisation process. LLDPE materials may be used either as a single polymer or as a blend with LDPE. Linear Low Density PE (LLDPE) LLDPE has a chain structure with little side branching and the resultant narrower molecular weight distribution results in improved ESCR and tensile properties when compared to LDPE materials. A large number of grades of PE materials are used in pipe and fittings systems and the specific properties are tailored for the particular application. slow crack growth resistance and crack propagation resistance. HDPE materials qualify as PE80C and PE100 in accordance with AS/NZS 4131. These properties of the MDPE materials are utilised in gas reticulation. MDPE materials qualify as PE63 and PE80B in accordance with AS/NZS 4131. and can be modified by both variations in density. The physical properties of PE materials are specific to each grade or type. The high pressure polymerisation process results in polymer chains with more highly developed side branches. flexibility. The main use for LDPE in piping is in the micro irrigation or dripper tube applications with sizes up to 32 mm diameter. in micro irrigation applications to take advantage of the material flexibility. The most general types of PE materials are as follows: Low Density PE (LDPE) LDPE has a highly branched chain structure with a combination of small and large side chains. small diameter pipe coils. 0.4 PE100 960 23 8 37 > 600 950 260 64 26 0.5 1.0.

Materials. coated steel. where the preliminary classification indicates high or limited resistance. Class 2: Limited Resistance The materials belonging to this class are partially attacked by the conveyed chemical compound. The average life of the material is therefore shorter. The absence of any class indication means that no data is available concerning the chemical resistance of the material in respect of the conveyed fluid. it may be necessary to conduct further tests to assess the behaviour of pipes and fittings under internal pressure or other stresses. and it is advisable to use a higher safety factor than the one adopted for Class 1 materials. Three Different Classes of Chemical Resistance are Conventionally Used in this Guide. They may not cover the particular application under consideration and the effects of altered temperatures or concentrations may need to be evaluated by testing under specific conditions. glass and ceramic materials can often be advantageously replaced by thermoplastic materials. Class 1: High Resistance (Corrosion proof) Chemical Resistance Classification Introduction The following section tabulates the classes of chemical resistance of thermoplastic and elastomeric materials most commonly used in pipe and fittings systems for the conveyance of liquids and gases.6 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems . Important Information The listed data are based on results of immersion tests on specimens. reliability and economic benefits under similar operating conditions. Variations in the analysis of the chemical compounds as well as in the operating conditions (pressure and temperature) can significantly modify the actual chemical resistance of the materials in comparison with this chart’s indicated value.

Where rubber modified LDPE blends are used for improved ESCR properties in irrigation applications. fuel mixture. In general PVC is considered relatively insensitive to “stress corrosion”. Lower alcohols. These are: Concentration: Temperature: As with all processes. solutions of inorganic salts. Completely non-resistant: Unsaturated chlorinated hydrocarbons. strong organic acids. However. Has adequate resistance: Strong acids. aromatic hydrocarbons. Examples of this type of attack on PVC are aqua regia at 20O°C and wet chlorine gas. ketones. oxidation. Swelling of the polymer occurs but the polymer returns to its original condition if the chemical is removed. Chemical resistance of polyethylene is due to the non polar or paraffinic nature of the material and is a function of reagent concentration and temperature. threshold temperatures may exist. substitution reactions or chain scission. use of Vinidex polyethylene systems provides a cost effective solution when the behaviour of polyethylene is compared to that of alternative materials. the effect of speciality chemicals may require evaluation eg. In these situations the polymer cannot be restored by the removal of the chemical. Factors Affecting Chemical Resistance A number of factors can affect the rate and type of chemical attack that may occur.m a t e r i a l s Chemical Attack on Thermoplastics & Elastomers Chemicals that attack polymers do so at differing rates and in differing ways. hydrofluoric acids. allows their use in a wide range of chemical processes. weak acids. There are two general types of chemical attack on polymer: 1. Period of Contact: In many cases rates of attack are slow and of significance only with sustained contact.

The design of fittings involving change of flow direction is critical in slurry lines. For most grades. Abrasion occurs as a result of friction between the pipe wall and the transported particles. a radius of at least 20 times the pipe diameter should be used. The high resistance to abrasion.0 3.

Under varying test conditions the relative ranking of different pipe materials may change. Boothroyde and Jacobs (BHRA PR 1448) performed closed loop tests using iron ore slurry in a concentration range of 5 to 10% and ranked PE ahead of mild steel and asbestos cement in abrasion resistance. The interaction of these parameters means that any prediction of the rate of abrasion wear can only proceed where testing of wear rates has been performed on the specific slurry under the proposed operational conditions.0 1.5 4.0 2.

Vinidex PE pipes can be supplied using PE materials complying with AS 2070 Plastics for Use in Food Contact Applications. In these instances the source of the ants should be treated by normal insecticide techniques.

Where contamination is suspected. Organic compounds of the non polar. PE80. However damage often ascribed to termite attack in PE has subsequently been found to be due to other sources of mechanical damage. Small diameter irrigation applications using LDPE materials may be attacked by ants or termites due to the relatively thin wall sections and the hardness of the LDPE. blue. and moisture when pipes are stored in exposed locations. All Vinidex PE pipe systems contain antioxidants. and these pipes require no additional protection for external storage and use. Food Contact Applications Where the pipeline system is used for food processing or transport purposes. and PE100 applications provide a generally resistant solution. Biological Resistance PE pipes may be subject to damage from biological sources such as ants or rodents. The resistance to attack is determined by the hardness of the PE used. and marine applications. low molecular type are those which permeate most rapidly through the PE pipe walls. the geometry of the PE surfaces.

Corrosion and joint leakage are prevalent in iron and cement systems. The flexibility of polyethylene is a key property which has greatly enhanced the value of the material to the pipeline engineer. avoiding the need for open cut trenches. The polyethylene pipeline system has been developed as an integrated pipe and fitting system. Polyethylene can be colour coded to suit the end application. It has a track record of high reliability over a period now approaching 50 years. leaking pipelines. so unlike rubber ring type joints or other mechanical systems. indeed the PE system is cost effective with a long maintenance free lifetime and low wholelife costs. avoiding frequent joints and fittings. a polyethylene system has an inherent resistance to the effects of ground movement from temperature fluctuation or instability. Primarily. There is no cost penalty in obtaining these advantages.applications Summary The success and the continued high level of growth in the application of polyethylene for piping systems has not come about by chance. usually within desired lifetimes. Polyethylene is basically chemically inert and therefore. Long lengths can be pulled through holes below the ground bored by mechanical moles.3 . Systems are fully end load bearing and costly anchorage is not required at junctions and bends. The flexibility of PE pipe allows it to be coiled and supplied in long lengths. Polyethylene systems can be fusion welded. Apart from the value in allowing substantial cost savings during installation. The material lends itself readily to renovation by insertion as a lining into old. the principal advantages of polyethylene piping systems are: • • • • • • • • • • • Flexibility Chemical resistance Fusion welded jointing Resistance to ground movement and end load Cost effective installation techniques High impact strength Abrasion resistance High flow capacity Weathering resistance Low whole life costs Long lengths PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems Applications. Polyethylene offers the solution to avoiding the premature failure of pipelines in such materials. offering further cost saving solutions to the water and gas engineer. there is no risk of leakage as a result of joint distortion. To summarise. unlike iron or cement. Root penetration is not a problem. The low friction bores are not subject to scale buildup. This flexibility and low weight has also resulted in the development of cost saving installation techniques reducing disturbance to the public and the environment. or by colour stripes on black pipe. Polyethylene gas and water systems have been the only systems to survive major earthquakes such as those which occurred in Kobe. Typically blue for water and yellow for gas. Polyethyene systems offer significant advantages over ‘traditional’ iron. will be unaffected by acidic soil conditions or other corrosion inducing conditions. the material is free from corrosion in all ground conditions and its flexibility allows it to withstand ground movement. No protective layers or finishing processes are required. The material is biologically inert. and the installed system costs are often less than for traditional materials. thus avoiding additional expense and further potential risk of failure. steel and cement systems.

Contact Vinidex engineers for special requirements. The adoption of a 50 year design life in AS/NZS 4130 to establish a value of the HDS is arbitrary. The rate of temperature loss will be determined by inlet temperature. the lifetime of some grades will be limited by elevated temperature operation. and the fluid being carried will approach the ambient temperature of the surrounds. Vinidex offers pipes made from specialised compounds for particular applications. Vinidex PE pipes are continually tested in combinations of elevated temperature (80°C water conditions) and pressure to ensure compliance with specification requirements. and as such have different responses to temperature variations. Actual product life may well be in excess of these values.d Temperature Influences The physical properties of Vinidex PE pipes are related to a standard reference temperature of 20°C. This is available on request to Vinidex design engineers. soil conductivity. Table 4. In addition. In these tables. the pressure ratings (PN) must be revised. and the actual operating conditions for each specific installation must be evaluated. Any lifetime values beyond these figures are meaningless. In these cases the advice of Vinidex design engineers should be obtained. For the grades of PE materials contained in AS/NZS 4131 the specific values are contained in Table 4. As these factors are specific to each installation.7 . where economic evaluations such as present value calculations are performed. the temperature gradient calculations are complex and in order to assist the designer. as the assumptions made in other parts of the economic evaluations outweigh the effect of pipe lifetime. Pipe Classification (PN) is based on continuous operation at 20°C and the pressure rating will be reduced for higher temperatures. As these values are polymer dependent. Extrapolation limit is maximum allowable extrapolation time in years. The performance of compounds used in the manufacture of Vinidex pipes to AS/NZS 4130 has been verified by appropriate data analysis. Note: * Plastics pipes and fittings – pressure reduction factors for polyethylene pipeline systems for use at temperatures above 20°C. individual grades may exhibit different characteristics and materials can be provided with enhanced properties for crack resistance or elevated temperature performance. the lifetimes of PE lines designed and operated within the AS guidelines may be regarded as 70–100 years for the purpose of the calculations. such as elevated temperature use. This gradient will be dependent upon site conditions. The temperature to be considered for the re rating is the pipe material service temperature. Where physical property values are quoted to ISO and DIN Standard test methods. Vinidex have developed computer software to predict the temperature gradient along the pipeline. ** Plastics piping and ducting systems – determination of long-term hydrostatic strength of thermoplastics materials in pipe form by extrapolation. unless otherwise quoted. and at least two years of test at 80°C for PE80B and PE100.

In addition. based on data analysis in accordance with ISO/DIS 9080**. e s i g n The grades of PE specified in AS/NZS 4131 are produced by different polymerisation methods. Service Lifetimes The design basis used in AS/NZS 4130 for PN rating of PE pipes to determine the minimum wall thickness for each diameter and PN rating provides for the steady and continuous application of the maximum allowable working pressure over an arbitrary period of 50 years. allowable working pressures are derived from ISO 13761* and assume continuous operation at the temperatures listed. these are for the 20°C condition.

Similarly.81 m/s2) The value of the head loss coefficient K is dependent on the particular geometry of each fitting. Under normal circumstances involving long pipelines these head losses are small in relation to the head losses due to pipe wall friction. The total head loss in the pipeline network is then obtained by adding together the calculations performed for each fitting in the system. with a corresponding increase in discharge ( or reduced head loss ) through the pipeline. An allowance of approximately 1% increase in the water discharge must be made for each 3°C increase in temperature above 20°C. geometry and inlet/exit condition head losses may be significant in short pipe runs or in complex installations where a large number of fittings are included in the design. and variations to these standard conditions may require evaluation as to the effect on discharge.

The pressure rises generated by flow changes in PE pipelines are the lowest generated in major pipeline materials due to the relatively low modulus values. Such changes of flow velocity lead to induced pressure waves in the pipeline. the pressure rise due to the valve closure is given by: P1 = C. Care must be taken to ensure that the minimum pressure does not reach a level that may result in vacuum collapse (see External Pressure Resistance.

Rheinhold. The transportation of Non Newtonian fluids such as liquids or liquid/liquid.W. Solid Liquid Flow .J. is defined as the velocity at which particles are just starting to appear on the bottom of the pipe. The flow in short length pipelines differs in that these lines may be flushed out with water before shut down of operations. and are those containing large particles within the fluid. PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems Design. The specific fluid under consideration requires full scale flow testing to be conducted to establish the accurate flow properties for the liquid/ particle combinations to be used in the installed pipeline. Generally. ideal applications for the material and such installations are in widespread use throughout Australia. For further information on slurry pipeline design. Suspensions containing particle sizes of 40 microns and above may be regarded as heterogeneous. 1972. In addition to the fluid characterisations for both types.Slurry Pipeline Transportation. slurry flow design needs to take into account the potential for abrasion of the pipe walls.d e s i g n Slurry Flow General Design Considerations The abrasion resistance characteristics and flexibility of Vinidex PE pipes make slurry flow lines. the particle size can be used to determine the flow type and suspensions with particle sizes up to 20 microns can be regarded as homogeneous across the range of flow velocities experienced. The Flow of Complex Mixtures in Pipes. and Aziz K. the tendency for solids to settle out of the flow means that a minimum flow velocity must be maintained. including slurries. and Govier and Aziz are recommended in the selection of Vinidex PE pipes for these applications. 1977. In addition to water flow. Note: Heterogeneous suspensions are those showing appreciable density gradients across the cross section of the pipe. Without this specific data. This velocity. They are not suitable for calculating the flow discharges of other fluids. Long length pipelines cannot be flushed out in the same way and the selection of operating velocities and pipe diameter needs to address this aspect. Wasp. The published Vinidex PE pipe flow charts relate ONLY to water or other liquids which behave as Newtonian fluids. the Minimum Transport Velocity. and then repeatedly being checked and tested for suitability.29 . and Wasp E. such as mine tailings. especially at changes of direction or zones of turbulence. These slurries consist of material particles uniformly suspended in the transport fluid. Hence it is essential for the properties of the specific fluid to be established under the operating conditions being considered for each design installation. the designer is referred to such publications as Govier G. The principles of slurry pipeline design as outlined in the methods of Durand. The most usual applications of Vinidex PE pipes involve liquid/solid mixtures and these must first be categorised according to flow type: • • Homogeneous Suspensions Heterogeneous Suspensions Homogeneous Suspensions Homogeneous suspensions are those showing no appreciable density gradient across the cross section of the pipe. Heterogeneous Suspensions The design of slurry pipelines is an iterative process requiring design assumptions to be made initially. the assumptions made as to the fluid flow behaviour may result in the operational pipeline being at a variance to the assumed behaviour. liquid/solid mixtures or slurries is a highly complex process and requires a detailed knowledge of the specific fluid before flow rate calculations can be performed. As distinct from water. Trans Tech Publications. As a result accelerated wear generally occurs immediately downstream of the bead. The increase in angle will also increase the amount of energy with which the particle strikes the pipe wall. however. the specific gravity will increase the mass of the particle resulting in increased wear. The simple theory of abrasive wear suggests that specific wear (wear per unit mass transported) is proportional to normal force at the pipe wall. however. These characteristics include angularity. velocity.30 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems . The rate of wear increases with particle size with very little wear occurring on polyethylene systems below 300 microns. In practice. Therefore the wear rate will increase as the angle of attack to the pipe wall increases. loss of pressure and localised eddying. This is usually prominent in D50 particle sizes over 300 microns. Similarly. The principal causes of wear are as follows: • • • • Particle Size Particle Specific Gravity Velocity Angle of Attack Particle Size Angle of Attack The size of the particle combined with the requisite velocity is one of the principal factors which contribute to wear.d e s i g n Pipe Wear Polyethylene pipe has been a proven performer over many decades in resisting internal abrasion due to slurry. Design. This velocity also increases the impact energy of the particle against the wall of the pipe. Velocity A minimum velocity is required to provide the necessary uplift forces to keep a solid particle in suspension. and hence increase the abrasive attack. impingement and cutting. Butt weld internal beads will cause eddying which will result in increases in angle of attack of the particle to the pipe wall. Hence. Cutting wear is considered to be caused by the low angle impingement of particles. The requirement for wear is that some of the solid particles must have sufficient energy to penetrate and shear a material. Particle Specific Gravity There are essentially two modes of wear. Factors Affecting Rates of Wear The wall of polyethylene pipes are worn by contact with the solids particles. producing rates of wear that can be many times greater than a simple combination of the two modes of wear. it is believed the higher impact energy resulting from a combination of particle mass and the high velocity required to transport this larger particle are the principal contributing factors. corrosive wear interacts synergistically with abrasive wear. Above this size the rate of wear will increase proportionally with particle size with the maximum practical D50 size around 1mm. With metal pipes. these have not proven to be accurate due to the wide variation of slurry characteristics. Corrosive attack on a piping material can lead to increasing roughness of the surface. degree of particle attrition. As a result. Many researchers have attempted to develop relationships between particle size and rates of wear. a low modulus material such as polyethylene has very good resistance to cutting wear due to the resulting deformation upon impact. cutting wear comprises a cutting action. and the concentration of solids in the transporting fluid. angle of attack. The wear mechanism involved is not thoroughly understood. In the case of angular particles the cutting action is increased resulting in increased pipe wear. It is particularly resistant to abrasion from particles less than 500 microns in size depending on particle shape. This is a result of the increased impact energy from the mass of the particle combined with the faster carrier velocity. cutting wear also incorporates a component of deformation wear. and the accommodation of some of the energy of impact within the matrix of the material being worn. It is for this reason that accelerated wear is caused by: i) Fittings which effect a change in the angle of flow such as tees and bends ii) Butt weld joints. For coarse particle slurries the internal bead should be removed. perhaps gouging fragments loose. The abrasive wear of any slurry handling system is heavily dependent on the physical characteristics of the solids being transported. loss of pump pressure due to power failure. this is particularly important when transporting sand slurries. D B Haas. Other factors that cause blockages are increases in solids concentration. although re-welding of pipes over 500mm has been preferred in some cases to reduce capital costs. C A Shook. then saltation will commence increasing friction loss eventually resulting in a blockage. preventing clearing by clear water pumping. A mismatching valve bore will also cause turbulence. These mechanical joints are usually installed at every 20m pipe length to assist the pipe rotation process and also permit clearance of blockages. then the particles above this deposition will cause the maximum amount of wear as they interact with the flow.d e s i g n iii) Fittings joints. If vertical bends are unavoidable then they should be installed with mechanical joints to permit their easy removal for clearing. If saltation/moving bed occurs.

They include stub flanges and backing rings. resulting in increased wear for large particles. Unfortunately. Polyethylene pipelines may be cleared of blockages by clear water pumping provided they have been installed on flat even ground. iv) Change in velocity. vi) Insufficient velocity. Slurry pipelines are usually operated as close to the critical settling velocity as practical to reduce operating costs. Should deposition occur on the floor of the pipe. compression couplings and rubber ring joint fittings. Warman International Ltd. This is characterised by the formation of wave marks on the 5 and 7 o’clock position of the pipe. This turbulence increases the angle of attack to the pipe wall. When a system is operated near its settling velocity. At connections of mechanical fittings some misalignment of the mating faces may occur resulting in increased angles of attack of the particles. Some compression fittings cause a reduction in the internal diameter of the pipe under the fitting resulting in turbulence. v) Increased velocity. Fittings A range of mechanical joints are available for polyethylene slurry pipelines. Hugger couplings. It is for this reason that the use of clear bore valves such as knife gate valves is preferred for slurry pipelines. W H W Husband and M Small Warman Slurry Pumping Handbook. Maintenance and Operation To reduce the cost of wear on a pipeline asset it is general practice to rotate the pipes at the appropriate intervals.31 . Sudden vertical ‘V’ bends with angles over 10° may cause an accumulation of solids in the bore. then the heavy particles will impact against the pipe bottom. This will cause a general increase in pipe wear in this area. if an increase in particle size occurs. shouldered end/Victaulic couplings. the heavier particles migrate towards the lower half of the pipe cross section. In this respect mechanical joints are useful. or mixtures are carried. High pressure lines must be mechanically protected from damage especially in exposed installations. the delivered compressed air temperature averages 10°C above the cooling water temperature.32 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems . • For underground applications where the PE pipes are exposed to ambient conditions. In particular: • Compressed air may be at a higher temperature than the surrounding ambient air temperature. Compressed air must be dry. the delivered compressed air temperature averages 15°C above the surrounding air temperature. the gas must be dry and free from liquid contamination which may cause stress cracking of the PE pipe walls. and filters installed in the pipeline to prevent condensation of lubricants which can lead to stress cracking in the PE pipe material. Vinidex PE pipes should not be connected directly to compressor outlets or air receivers. and the pipe physical properties require adjustment accordingly. especially close to compressor line inlets. A 21 metre length of metal pipe should be inserted between the air receiver and the start of the PE pipe to allow for cooling of the compressed air. PE pipes will not conduct electrical charges. • • • • • Design. Valve closing speed must be reduced to prevent a build up of pressure waves in the compressible gas flow. and conducting inserts or plugs must be inserted into the pipe to complete an earthing circuit. • Where gaseous fuels such as propane. For water cooled compressors. the surrounding air temperature may reach 30°C. Dry gases. natural gas. and the pressure rating of the PE pipes require temperature re rating accordingly. For air cooled compressors.d e s i g n Pneumatic Flow Vinidex PE pipe systems are ideal for the transmission of gases both in the high and low pressure range. The use of compressible liquids in PE pipes requires a number of specific design considerations as distinct from the techniques adopted in the calculation of discharge rates for fluids such as water. and gas/solids mixtures may generate static electrical charges and these may need to be dissipated to prevent the possibility of explosion.

In these cases the effects of temperature change can be minimised by snaking the pipe in the trench for small sizes (up to DN110) and allowing the temperature to stabilise prior to backfilling. Figure 4.5) in mm/m for 30°C = 6. Where these cannot be used due to the fluid type being carried ( such as slurries containing solid particles ) the advice of Vinidex design engineers should be sought for each particular installation.d e s i g n Expansion and Contraction Expansion and contraction of PE pipes occurs with changes in the pipe material service temperature. the frictional support of the backfill against the outside of the pipe restrains the movement and any thermal effects are translated into stress in the wall of the pipe. and when backfilled will undergo the maximum temperature change. Under these conditions the PE pipe will be at it’s maximum surface temperature when placed into a shaded trench. an average value of 2. What allowance for expansion/contraction must be made? 1. For large sizes. and hence thermal movement. the changes in temperature are small and slow acting.5. The relationship between temperature change and length change for different PE grades is as shown in Figure 4. For design purposes.0 x 100 = 600 mm. Where above ground pipes are installed in confined conditions such as industrial or chemical process plants the expansion/contraction movement can be taken up with sliding expansion joints.5 15. 3. Above ground pipes require no expansion/contraction considerations for free ended pipe or where lateral movement is of no concern on site.

All flexible pipe materials can be subject to buckling due to external pressure and PE pipes behave in a similar fashion to PVC and steel pipes. For example.8 SDR = pipe SDR from Table 4. The minimum trench width should allow for adequate tamping of side support material and should be not less than 200mm greater than the diameter of the pipe. the trench width should be kept to the minimum that enables construction to readily proceed. The excavated material.Buried Flexible Pipelines. Side Support Material used for side support should comply with the requirements of the bedding materials. The trench width used with PE pipe may be reduced from those used with other pipe types by buttwelding. AS/NZS 2566 provides full details for evaluating the loads developed under wide trench conditions. then the pipe should be installed on a 75 mm layer of tamped or compacted bedding material as shown on the cross section diagrams.12. and specific installations should be evaluated in accordance with AS/NZS 2566 .2mm sieve.

In poor soil conditions, an additional layer of imported bedding material may need to be introduced, and a geofabric restraint of bedding/backfill material may be required. The bedding materials used in both trenchs and embankments shall follow the guidelines of AS2033, and should be one of the following: 1. Sand or soil, free from rocks greater than 15 mm, and any hard clay lumps greater than 75 mm in size. 2. Crushed rock, gravel, or graded materials of even grading with a maximum size of 15 mm. 3. Excavated material free from rocks or vegetable matter. 4. Clay lumps which can be reduced to less than 75 mm in size. Excavated materials in accordance with 3. and 4. above are often used for pressure pipelines and in rural areas. However, in areas of high loading, such as under roads, imported materials may need to be used. In the majority of PE pipe applications, a minimum of 75 mm of bedding material is used in both trenches and embankments in soil excavations. For excavations in rock, 150 mm bedding depth may be required. Where fittings or mechanical joints are used, the bedding material may need to be excavated to prevent point loading. All pegs and markers used in aligning and levelling the pipes must be removed from the trench floor prior to bedding materials being placed. Side Support & Overlay PE pipes act as flexible pipes to resist external loading, and the side support materials must be evenly added to the same compaction standards as the bedding materials so that the installed PE pipe is not disturbed. Sidefill materials should be built up equally on both sides of the pipes in layers of 150mm, and compacted evenly to the AS/NZS 2566 design level. The sidefill materials must be carefully placed around the haunches of the pipes to ensure that the PE pipes are evenly supported. Vibrating plate compactors must not be used until there is a 300mm layer of overlay soil over the crown of the PE pipe. Detector tapes, or marker strips, should be laid on top of the overlay once a layer of 150mm soil has been compacted. The overlay materials should be built up in compacted layers until the overlay material is to a level of a minimum of 150 mm above the top of the PE pipes. (See Figure 5.1). Large diameter (450 mm and above) PE pipes require the overlay materials to be carried to a cover of 300mm above the top of the PE pipes. Backfill The remainder of the trench, or embankment fill may be made with the previously excavated native materials. These must be free from large rocks, vegetable matter, and contaminated materials, and all materials must have a maximum particle size less than 75 mm. Where PE pipelines are installed in areas with high external loads, then the backfill materials must be of the same standard as the bedding and overlay materials. Figure 5.2 Embankment Installations Fill material Compacted bedding material D 300mm min 80mm min. Backfill Material 150mm minimum Compact. side support 75mm minimum bedding Compaction Standards It is essential that the AS/NZS 2566 compaction levels are attained, as PE pipes behave as flexible structures. Large diameter PE pipe installations may require the compaction at each stage of the installation to be confirmed by test. Where high external loads are encountered, or where it is not possible to attain the required level of compaction in the sidefill materials, a mixture of sand/cement in the ratio of 14:1 may be used in the sidefill zones. The selection of compaction standard used in the sidefill materials needs to be taken from AS/NZS 2566 for the sidefill materials available on the particular site. Figure 5.1 Trench Installations Installation.6 PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems PE Pipe Systems installation Thrust Blocks & Pipe Restraint Thrust blocks are required for Vinidex PE pipes in pressure applications where the joints do not resist longitudinal loads. The thrust blocks must be provided at all changes in direction. The standard methods of calculating the size of thrust blocks for all pipeline materials are those used with PE pipes and are contained in the Design section of this manual. Where concrete blocks are used, the contact points between the PE pipe, or fitting and the thrust block must be protected to prevent abrasion of the PE. Rubber or malthoid sheeting may be used for this purpose. All fittings and heavy items such as cast iron valves must be supported in order to prevent point loading on the PE materials. In addition, where valves are used, the torque loads arising from the opening/closing operations must be resisted with block supports. Pipeline Curvature All PE pipes installed on a curved alignment must be drawn evenly over the entire curve length, and not over a short section. This can lead to kinking in small diameter, and/or thin wall pipes. Large diameter PE pipes (450mm and above) must be joined together, and then drawn evenly to the desired radius. Care must be exercised during construction to prevent over stressing of joints and fittings. Where mechanical joints are used, any joint deflection limitations must be observed. During installation, minimum radii of 20 x DN for MDPE (PE63 and PE80B) and 33 x DN for HDPE (PE80C and PE100) may be used. In addition, evaluation of buckling resistance of thin wall pipes may be necessary. This should be done as shown in the Design Section of this Manual.

Existing pipelines used to transport aggressive and dangerous fluids may be restored by relining techniques, and cost effective solutions are provided by eliminating the need for open cut trenches in urban and heavily built up areas. Installations can be planned around off peak traffic periods to minimise disruption and reduce installation times. Existing pipelines can be renovated by inserting Vinidex PE pipes into the old pipes. Insertion pipes can be pulled into position by mechanical winches. Although insertion of the PE pipes will reduce the internal diameter of the pipeline, the effective flow capacity of the renovated line may in fact be greater than the existing installation due to the improved pipe wall friction factors of PE as compared to the existing pipe with heavily corroded or damaged internal surfaces. Inspection of the existing line should be performed by CCTV to provide data as to the actual likely flow friction factors. Relining with PE pipes provides a structural element that is capable of withstanding either internal pressure or external loading without relying on the residual strength of the original degraded pipe elements.

Where the PE insert pipe is at a height H above the natural surface level LG2 = H 2R − H ( ) where H = depth to invert of existing pipeline R = radius of liner pipe Grouting Grouting of the gap between the outside diameter of the PE liner, and the inside of the existing pipe is necessary only when the original pipe has been damaged to the extent that there is no residual external load capacity, or where manhole connections cannot be sealed off to prevent groundwater infiltration. The PE pipes require short length inlet and exit trenches to accommodate the PE pipe radius to lead into the existing pipeline, and the winch assembly used to pull the PE liner along the pipeline. The minimum bending radius of the PE liner can be calculated as described under Pipeline Curvature in this section of the manual. Where grouting is applied, the pressure should not exceed 50 kPa, and depending on the PN rating of the PE liner pipe, external collapse calculations should be carried out. Where cement based grouts are used, the temperature rise in the PE liner due to the heat of hydration must be taken into account. The PE liner pipes may be filled with water prior to grouting to increase the external pressure resistance, and to provide additional line weight to prevent the PE liner pipe floating during grouting, and losing the final grade line.

Tapping saddles may be used for tappings up to 30% of the size of the main pipe or a maximum diameter of 50mm. Tapping saddles should not be installed closer than 100mm to prevent reduction in pressure capacity in the pipeline. Where expansion joints are provided in the concrete slab. expansion joints should be provided at the same point in the pipeline. Note: Where the time of pressure testing exceeds 15 minutes. Pressure Testing Test water should be slowly introduced into the PE pipeline until all air is purged from the line and water flows freely at the end of the line. and may be applied at the time of initial pressurisation.

It is essential that all air is removed from the line prior to commencing the test procedure. increases in pipe temperature above 20°C may occur. all joints must be visually inspected for evidence of weeping or leakage. or by partial backfilling of the line leaving the joints open for visual inspection. Entrapped air can result in erroneous pressure/time recordings. The test pressure in these instances should be held for a minimum period of 15 minutes. Test sections may be either the complete line. For large diameter pipes.15 .7 in the Design section of this manual. no testing should take place until the joints have completely cooled to ambient temperature. Test pressure in excess of this value may strain the pipe material and damage control appliance s connected to the pipeline. and for pipeline lengths up to 800 metres. A smaller drop in pressure may be observed due to thermal expansion.installation Testing & Commissioning Pressure Installations Pre Test Precautions Prior to testing. All valves must be placed in the open position. In these cases the test pressure must be derated. Local authority regulations may differ between each other in the pressure testing routines. All mechanical ring seal joints must be restrained either by sand bags. Where concrete anchor or thrust blocks are used no pressure testing should take place within 7 days of casting the blocks. the elastic properties of PE are such that the introduction of test pressures will cause expansion in the line and require make up pressure to restore gauge readings.25 times the maximum working pressure should be applied for pipelines up to 110 mm in diameter and 100 metres in length and also for testing valve anchorages. This volume make up will generally be in the order of 1%. however. Flush out the pipeline for 15 minutes to remove all disinfectant and biological residues from the water.

No leakage or loss of pressure should take place in this period. Where this is a critical feature of the installation. and air pumped slowly into the PE pipeline until a test pressure of 50KPa is reached. Large diameter installations may require a period of up to 8 hours to allow for complete inspection of all joints in the pipeline network. Some pipe materials require additional flushing or disinfection in order to purge contamination rising from the pipe material itself. Either water or air testing may be performed on non pressure PE pipelines. or for a period of 30 minutes. In both cases.

The ends of the PE pipes are heated by contact under pressure against a heater plate. Contact is then maintained until the appropriate heat soak time elapses. When correctly performed. bringing the molten surfaces together under closely controlled pressures.3 . The heated PE pipe ends are then brought together and pressurised evenly to the welding pressure value. All butt fusion should be performed under cover. This pressure is then maintained for a period to allow the welding process to take place. Methods include mechanical joints and a range of thermal fusion procedures. 1. and the ends of the PE pipes blocked off to assist with temperature control and prevent contamination of the joints.18MPa on the ends of the pipes. Butt fusion provides a homogeneous joint with the same properties as the pipe and fittings materials. In all thermal fusion processes. The trimmed end faces must be square and parallel. 2. The fusion compatibility of PE materials must be established before welding. Butt Fusion Butt fusion is generally applied to PE pipes within the size range 90 mm to 1000 mm for joints on pipes. and these pipes can be joined by a variety of methods. the minimum long term strength of the butt fusion joint should be 90% of the strength of the parent PE pipe.2. and the contact pressure then reduced to a lower value called the heat soak pressure. Under no circumstances should the joints be sprayed with cold water. and greasy films from a zone approximately 75 mm from the end of each pipe. moisture. the diameter and wall thickness of the pipes.

Butt fusion machines need to be sufficiently robust to align and pressurise the pipe ends within close tolerances. The butt fusion process consists of the following steps which are shown in principle in Figure 6. The ends of the pipes are trimmed using a rotating cutter to remove all rough ends and oxidation layers. and if doubts exist then the advice of Vinidex engineers should be sought. and maintained within a surface temperature range of 190°C to 225°C (depending on the size of the pipe). dust. the field pipe jointing should only be performed by trained fusion operators using properly maintained and calibrated fusion machines.j o i n t i n g Jointing Methods Vinidex PE pipes are produced in a range of sizes between 16 mm to 1000 mm diameter.

Hydrostatic pressure testing will not determine the strength of butt welds. and the locations of welds identified on as-constructed site plans. or from the inside diameter to prevent potential material blockage in sewer rising mains. Weld beads are normally left in place on the pipe section. The most reliable methods of weld evaluation are the destructive type. Destructive test methods require tensile testing of welds and pipe in order to establish the strength of the weld as a percentage of pipe strength. due to the stress across the plane of the butt weld being only 50% of the hoop stress in the pipe section.1 Butt Welding Parameters P1 P3 Pressure Pd P2 Zone 1 Zone 2 Zone 4 DRAG Time T1 T2 T3 T4 Zone 3 T5 Zone 1 Initial Bead Pressure P1 Time T1 kPa Seconds (min) kPa Seconds Seconds (max) Seconds (min) kPa Minutes Zone 2 Heat Soak Pressure P2 Time T2 In field applications full QA records of times.
