PRESSURE PIPES | MATERIALS
15874, says Aquatherm. With SDR 9, Aquatherm is introducing a PP-RCT
product to meet specific market demands and will consider special orders of other SDRs on a case-by- case basis. Historically, if an application demanded in-
creased performance over the SDR 11 or SDR 17.6 Blue Pipe, its SDR 7.4 MF Green Pipe would be specified. The new offering provides several advantages over those SDRs, including: lower wall thickness and lower weight per foot; 15% higher flow capacity; and 20-100% higher pressure capability depending on the operational tempera- ture, says Aquatherm. The company says the new SDR pipe is cost competitive – being 15-20% more expensive than the existing SDR 11 Blue Pipe, and less expensive than SDR 7.4 Green Pipe. Separate to this, Aquatherm has replaced
corroded steel pipe at a Berry Global injection moulding plant with 300ft of its PP-R pipe – to supply cooling water to more than 20 moulding machines. The rusting pipe had begun to affect Berry’s operations, because rust and pipe scale were interfering with cool-water flushing of the
moulds. Some advantages of the new pipe were: it took just 24 hours to install; it required no insula- tion; and it is guaranteed not to cause corrosion problems in future.
