TECHNICAL DETAILS

What should you know about the technical features of AQUATHERM BLUE?

Diameter

The diameter of the PP pipe determines its location and intended use. In order to be able to lay a pipeline from the connection to the outlet, the pipe diameter of the individual pipes and fittings must be compatible with each other.
aquatherm blue S: Ø 20-32 mm
aquatherm blue MF: Ø 20-25 mm
aquatherm blue MF UV: Ø 20- 25 mm
aquatherm blue MF OT: Ø 20- 25 mm
aquatherm blue MF RP: Ø 32 - 630 mm
aquatherm blue MF RP UV: Ø 32 - 630 mm
aquatherm blue MF RP OT: Ø 20 - 250 mm

SDR

The SDR (Standard Dimension Ratio) is a ratio indicating the resistance to pressure. In order to guarantee a certain pressure resistance, a certain maximum SDR number is necessary, depending on the type of material. The following applies: the greater the wall thickness, the smaller the SDR number and the more pressure-resistant the plastic pipe. The unit indicates the ratio between outer diameter and wall thickness of a pipe. aquatherm blue is available in the following SDR sizes:
SDR 7.4: aquatherm blue S | aquatherm blue MF | aquatherm blue MF UV | aquatherm blue MF OT
SDR 9: aquatherm blue MF RP | aquatherm blue MF RP UV | aquatherm blue MF RP OT
SDR 11: aquatherm blue S | aquatherm blue MF RP | aquatherm MF RP UV | aquatherm MF RP OT
SDR 17.6: aquatherm blue MF RP | aquatherm blue MF RP UV

Material

aquatherm blue is made of corrosion-resistant material. This considerably extends the service life of the pipeline, for example for an air conditioning system. The material of aquatherm is characterized among other things by its special high heat and extraction stability. The physical and chemical properties are adapted to the special needs of the heating and cooling sector. Due to the exceptionally good welding properties, pipe and fitting fuse to form a homogeneous, materially bonded unit; this has made the material fusiolen® famous worldwide.

System components

The systems include all elements for the pipe system installation for chilled, hot fluid and various industrial applications:
• Pipes in straight lengths and / or coils
• Fittings
• Flanged joints
• Water point connections and accessories
• Welding devices and machines
• Weld-in saddles
• Manifolds
• Shut-off devices
• Installation guide and fastenings
• Transition joints from PP to metal or from metal to PP

Integration of other systems or components with aquatherm piping for pressure pipe applications

When integrating aquatherm piping systems with other systems or components not made of polypropylene (e.g. valves, pumps, other piping, check valves, strainers, etc), care must be taken to ensure the operating parameters for polypropylene won’t damage the other materials or vice versa. Be aware that even if the aquatherm pipe is compatible with the fluid being transported, other materials in the system may not be. All parts of the system must be verified as compatible with the medium being carried before installing them. And, while the aquatherm pipe does not require treatment to protect it from corrosion, metals (ferrous and non-ferrous) in the system may be susceptible to corrosion. Do not mix the aquatherm pipe with other piping systems in conditions that will cause the other system or components to fail.

PROCESSING

Questions that customers often ask about AQUATHERM GREEN
Where can aquatherm green be used?
Which pipe types are available from aquatherm green?
How can I purchase aquatherm green?
What fire protection solutions are offered for aquatherm green?

The aquatherm polypropylene pipe systems comply with the requirements of the fire classification B2 DIN 4102 (normal inflammable). Compared to natural products like wood, cork or wool, aquatherm polypropylene pipes do not produce any gas toxicity. In case of fire, there is no risk of dioxin emissions.
To avoid fire and smoke transmission aquatherm advises the use of fire retardant seals. The fire resistance period is the minimum period in minutes. The extent of the preventive measures depends on the type of installation. The determining of fire areas and fire classification has to be made in accordance with the law of the country. Information is given by the Planning Department and Building Control Office or the Fire Protection Representative.
Basically fire walls and ceilings with pipe passages have to be installed to the same fire resistance classification. All fire protection systems with a corresponding classification are suitable for aquatherm polypropylene pipes.

Which guidelines have to be considered when processing aquatherm blue?

What should be observed when transporting and storing aquatherm blue?

aquatherm polypropylene pipes may be stored outside at any temperature. A solid base for the pipe is very important to avoid a deformation of the pipes while in transport and storage. At temperatures below 0 °C it is possible to damage the pipes through strong impacts. The material has to be treated with caution at low temperatures. In spite of its high resistance aquatherm pipes should be treated with care. UV-radiation has effects on all high polymer plastics. Do not store permanently outdoor. The maximum permissible storage time outdoors is 6 months.
