Comparison with other Plastic Pipes
Comparison with Other Plastic Pipes

PEXGOL pipes are produced from a special type of polyethylene. This is a high density polyethylene
(HDPE) with a very high molecular weight.
During production the raw material is pressed under high pressures and temperatures and in the
presence of a special catalyst. While the pipes are being extruded the material crosslinks,
resulting in an unbreakable (chemical) cross-connection between the adjacent long molecules of
the polyethylene. As a result of the crosslinking, a 3-dimensional network is formed and the pipe
can be considered as one enormously big molecule.
The combination of a special raw material of a very high molecular weight and the crosslinking
process itself, result in a special pipe having several important qualities:
* Corrosion resistance
* Excellent mechanical resistance
* Unique chemical resistance
* Very low friction coefficient
(C=155 in Hazen-Williams Formula)
* Excellent abrasion resistance
* Very good resistance to heat
* Excellent longevity
* No longitudinal crack formation or other stress cracks
* Low creep
* No stone sediments due to pipe smoothness
These properties provide many advantages compared
to normal pipes (which are not crosslinked):
1. High working pressures.
2. High working temperature (up to 110!C and above).
3. Excellent durability in harsh corrosive surrounding conditions:
- industrial
- sewage
- sea water
- corrosive ground
4. Immunity against improper pipe laying procedures.
5. Low head losses enabling considerable saving.
Regular polyethylene pipes are limited to a working temerature of up to 40!C (according to ISO Standard 4427).
Comparison with other Plastic Pipes
They are also very sensitive to scratches resulting from careless handling during transportation and
laying of the pipes. In non-crosslinked pipes (such as PE, PP or PB), cracks may appear after a few years.
These stress cracks occur as a result of the internal pressure or external stresses such as pipe bending or stone
impregnations (as a result of poor sand bedding). This phenomena is also known as S.C.G.: Slow Crack
Growth. The sensitivity to stress cracking is a material property, common for non-crosslinked pipe materials.
S.C.G. does not appear with crosslinked PE pipes due to the 3-dimensional crosslinked structure of PEXGOL pipes,
which totally blocks the growth of these cracks. The excellent resistance of PEXGOL pipes to Slow Crack
Growth makes it an ideal choice for industrial piping, gas transportation, chemical and regular sewage
transportation. For that reason it is possible to lay PEXGOL pipes in trenches without sand bedding!

Pexgol pipes - uses and applications
Domestic water supply lines

Pexgol pipes are the perfect plastic piping system for central
heating systems and sanitary pipes (hot and cold water pipes).
The Pexgol pipes are often used in the Pipe-in-pipe configuration.
Swift and Elegant Installation

The simplicity of the system - a pipe within a pipe - means quick, easy
installation in less than half the time needed to install any other system.
The quality of Installation
Pexgol is an excellent system for hot and cold water. It is completely
impervious to internal and external corrosion and prevents the buildup
of stone sediments.
Without Breaking Wall Tiles

Domestic pipelines run through the most expensive areas of the apartment:
the kitchen, bathroom and toilets. The Pexgol system prevents the need to
break tiles, walls and flooring. Repairing the system is performed simply by
pulling out the Pexgol pipe from its conduit pipe, allowing easy and convenient
access to every part of the system, and easy reinsertion of the new pipe.
Hot water, always clear...

With Pexgol, youll see the difference - a clear stream of water - quality of life!
Domestic water supply systems made of Pexgol pipes have been and are being
installed in domestic housing, hotels and office buildings in Israel and all over the world!
For more information, please ask for Pexgol - Instructions for Installation of
a Residential Water Supply System.
Municipal Water Supply Pipes

Municipal steel water supply lines are attacked by corrosion due to the following reasons:
* Poor water quality with increasing chlorine content.

* Corrosive environment
* Unprofessional faulty installations
Thanks to their unique resistance against corrosion in any of the above conditions,
Pexgol pipes may be installed anywhere and will operate without leaking. No need
for repair or replacement!
Large continuous lengths of Pexgol pipes may be supplied on drums, thus minimizing
the need for connections.
Each pipe connection, even the best one, is a weak spot!
Pexgol pipes have been laid in municipal water supply lines in various countries as well
as in Israel. Settlements in the Arava region in the southern part of Israel consider the
Pexgol pipe to be their only choice!
The reason for this is simple:
No failures in Municipal water supply during the last 20 years!

4.1
Municipal Water Supply Pipes

Today the Pexgol pipe is without doubt the leading pipe in municipal supply lines in Israel and is used in the following
applications:
Main pipe lines.

Secondary pipe lines in the building areas.
Inlet connections in buildings and fire extinguishing pipelines.
A computerized catalogue for design of Pexgol water lines may be obtained upon request from the Pexgol marketing Dept.
Pexgol pipes for sewer lines

Pexgol pipings has been used in pressurized sewer lines. Due to its excellent chemical and abrasion resistance
Pexgol pipe, is not vulnerable to the H2S gasses which may develop and attack the cement inner coating of the
steel pipings very smooth surface of the Pexgol pipes prevents scale sediments.
Pexgol pipes have also been laid in gravity sewer lines and sea out fall lines.
Riser mains for Boreholes

One of the most recent Pexgol pipe applications is for pumping water from boreholes (at a depth of over 200m) by
means of a continuous Pexgol pipe with a submersible pump and motor.
Industrial applications
The Pexgol pipe with its excellent abrasion resistance and chemical resistance is an ideal conduit for a wide range
of industrial applications where conventional pipes would be unsatisfactory due to the abrasives of conveying
slurries or because of vulnerability to chemical attack of solutions and acids - Pexgol pipes present a successful
and cost-effective solution.
The industrial applications of Pexgol pipes include:

- handling slurries (gypsum; sand; salt; phosphates; silts; potash, ect).
- handling various chemicals.
- handling industrial wastes.
List of projects is available from our sales department or at our internet site.
Pexgol pipes for Natural Gas Transportation

Pexgol pipe shows an excellent durability for natural gas and L.P.G. This plastic pipe will
without doubt be in the near future one of the leading pipes in municipal gas supply lines.
One of its outstanding advantages is:

NO SAND BEDDING REQUIRED!

Transportation of Pexgol pipes
Supplying Pexgol pipes to the installation site.

The Pexgol pipes flexibility and its memory effect is one of its outstanding features,
enabling the pipe to return to its original diameter after transportation on relatively small
drums or in coils. As a result we can supply longer continuous lengths as
compared to any other pipe:
1. Coils
From diameter 25mm to 160mm Pexgol pipes may be ordered in standard coils
of 50m or 100 meters.
Longer pipe lengths may be ordered in coils according to customers specifications.

Vacuum or Suction Pipelines
Vacuum or suction Pipelines

Under pressure (vacuum) can develop in the following cases:
1. When a pipe is installed in vacuum-feeding pipelines.

2. When a pipe is installed in a steep inclination, causing rapid free flow.
3. Extreme temperature changes of the transported liquid .
The amount of vacuum that a Pexgol pipe can withstand depends basically on
the pipes S.D.R. A pipe with sufficient wall thickness must be selected in order
to resist the collapsing forces generated by the vacuum.
The following table includes maximum rates of vacuum that can be supported
by Pexgol pipes of different classes:

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

Do Dvh
Pexgol pipe laying on the ground in a vacuum condition
Above ground Pexgol pipe under vacuum

When selecting Pexgol pipes for vacuum conditions above the ground, it is
recommended to use the following criterion:
When DvH/Do is below 1.2 a Pexgol pipe laid above ground is considered safe
against vacuum failure.
Underground Pexgol Pipe

Vacuum, which is a negative pressure, creates hoop stresses in the pipe wall which
are combined with the external pressures of the soil. In extreme cases these stresses
can cause the pipe to collapse.
Therefore, when a vacuum Pexgol pipe is installed underground, the vacuum stresses
have to be added to the total static and dynamic loads exerted by the soil, and all the
stresses have to be considered. In this case, it is recommended to compact the soil
around the pipe!
When designing a vacuum pipeline at recommended vacuum conditions, please
contact our engineer for consultation regarding installation of vacuum breakers.

12.
Abrasion Resistance
Transporting solid materials by fluids (in the form of a slurry) is commonly used
in industry, mining and in many piping systems. In most cases, the flow is kept turbulent
to avoid sedimentation.
Abrasion is the result of removal of material from the inner surface of the pipe.
The rate of abrasion for various slurries is determined by many factors such as:
Flow rate
Density of the particles
Size distribution of the particles
Hardness of the particles
liquid temperature
Viscosity of the liquid
The resistance to abrasion, is one of the most important characteristics of Pexgol pipes.
This pipe material, being resilient and tough, frequently displays greater resistance to
abrasion than metal pipes.
The excellent resistance to abrasion of Pexgol pipes is a result of the unique structure
of cross-linked polyethylene.
The ability of the pipe material to absorb the kinetic energy of the hard particles
inside the slurry, and its resistance to deformation, make Pexgol pipes extraord-
inary abrasion resistant conduits.
Unavoidable scratches in Pexgol pipes cause no damage.
Results of tests performed on pipes after being subjected to scratches as deep
as 20% of the pipe wall - show that no damage is caused to the pipe during
intensive pressure tests. The cross-linked molecular structure is the main reason
for the insensitivity of Pexgol pipes to scratches.
This property, which is also manifested by the resistance to slow-crack-growth,
results from the restraining action of the adjacent molecular chains of the
cross-linked network, which absorb the energy of the tearing forces
The excellent abrasion resistance of Pexgol pipes was tested and approved in laboratory
tests as well as in on-site conditions.
Pexgol pipes were installed at the Dead Sea Works instead of steel pipes, which had
to be replaced every year. Pexgol pipes have been at work for already 15 years
and it is still not necessary to replace them.
In the gold mines in South Africa, Pexgol pipes were installed in Backfill lines, working
at a very high line velocity, transferring very abrasive material for many years without
any failure.
In the Dead Sea Works 450mm Pexgol pipes have been installed more than 10 years
ago.These pipes are connected to Dredgers which Harvest the salt particles.
Non-Cross-Linked PE pipes which were installed in these lines failed after a few months.

The width can be increased to allow for more comfortable work in the trench.
The minimum recommendation depth of the trench is 60cm (to prevent mechanical
damage of the pipe).
For a route change (e.g 90! angle) it is recommended to
dig the trench with the suitable radius.
(see page Bending radius in Pexgol pipes).
Sand bedding of the trench and Backfilling

The unique properties of Pexgol pipes allow a considerable saving in expenses related to sand
bedding, compacting and backfilling:
1. The excellent scratch resistance of Pexgol pipes allows laying them in trenches
with no sand bedding.
2. It is allowed to backfill the trench using the original earth removed from the trench.
(see ISO 14531 Part 4)
3. If sand bedding is required, the trench should be filled with sand up to 10cm above the pipe.
continued on the next page:

13.1
Sand bedding of the trench and backfilling

4. Due to the Pexgols pipe high ring stiffness, there is no need for compacting
in order to improve the pipes pressure rating.
5. In case corrosive soil is used for covering Pexgol pipes which are connected with metal fittings, the fittings should be
covered by sand and not by the corrosive soil.
6. Pexgol pipes can be installed below a road or a pavement without need for a protective sleeve.
6.1 In this case it is important to use controlled compacting of the ground (according to designers instructions)
when covering the pipe, in order to prevent sinking of the ground.

Above ground installation
Above ground installation

Above ground installation of Pexgol pipes has many advantages in the following cases:
- Slurry lines, frequently relocated.
- Installation through marshes or areas which are difficult to access.
- Quick installation of temporary pipe lines.
It is recommended that expansion and construction, due to temperature variations, should be considered in the
design and installation of Pexgol pipes above the ground.
The coefficient of expansion of Pexgol pipes is high compared to steel pipes, but the forces generated by
thermal stresses are much lower for Pexgol pipes.
The reason for this is mainly its low modulus of elasticity and the fact that the Pexgol pipe is capable of
stress relaxation.
Pexgol pipes installed above ground may get longer as a result of temperature increase and tend to snaking.
Longitudinal elongation and contraction of the pipe is not uniform since the coefficient of friction between
the pipe and the ground may vary. However, the toughness and the unique abrasion resistance of Pexgol pipes
enables the pipes to move across the soil without affecting strength or service life.
Above ground installation instructions for Pexgol pipes

Pexgol pipes laid above the ground should be installed in a slightly curved config-
uration and not in a straight line to avoid thermal stresses, thus helping to prevent
the pipe from pulling out of its fittings when the temperature drops and the pipe tends
to contract.
Maintaining Pexgol pipeline in a straight line

If it is required to have a straight pipeline, then anchoring the pipeline at intervals
is a good method of limiting and controlling thermal expansion and contraction of the
pipeline.
The smaller the distance between the Fixpoints, the smaller the theoretic increase
in pipe length. As a result lateral deflections will decrease and the pipeline will be
straighter.
Designing a line with fewer Fixpoints will of course result in lower installation cost but
ground installation
the pipe will look less straight.

Pexgol Horizontally Supported Pipelines
Horizontally supported pipes are subject to vertical deflections between supports due to the weight of the pipe
and the transported materials, and also due to thermal deflection. It is recommended to minimize the deflection
in order to avoid high values of stresses within the pipe wall. Choosing proper distance between supports helps
to minimize thermal deflections.
The calculation of the distance between supports is based upon the formulas for continuous beam and the
maximum allowable deflection is 6mm.
The following figures give the recommended distance between supports for various S.D.R.s and pipe diameters,
at 20!C.
For higher temperatures shorter distances are recommended and the values shown in the figures should be
multiplied by the following values:
For 60!C - 0.91; For 80!C - 0.83.

The FPC is made of steel with internal gripping teeth made
of 316L stainless steel.
The FPC is painted with a base paint which you can weld on.
The lower part of the clamp may be welded to the bridge
(before installing the pipe) or connected by screws.
The distance between one adjacent pipe to the other is det-
ermined according to the width of the FPCs. (see table).
Pexgol Pipe on Pipe Bridges
Guided Pexgol Pipes
The Pexgol pipes tendency to snake can be reduced by
putting bars on both sides of the pipe in order to limit the
sideward deflection.
Alternatively, it is also recommended to use guiding clamps
(GC) which are conventional clamps with half the width of
the FPC. The pipe can freely slide through in the axial
direction but not sidewards. Side Deflection
Expected side deflection in case of malfunction may be
big, but there is no risk of a possible damage due to
one pipe leaning on its neighbor or rubbing against it.

For class 15 and class 24 pipes, smaller bending radii are possible.
For additional details please contact the Pexgol Pipes Service Dept.
Bending the Pipes

The pipes should be bent by means of a suitable device,
e.g. a winch or a lever.
You should not forget that the pipe is quite rigid and con-
siderable force is required for bending and fixing it.
For example: 2 tons of / 110 pipe and 5 tons / 280 pipe.
Please exercise caution !
Bending Radius In Pexgol Pipes
Bending should be done carefully in order to avoid knuckles.
For best results it is recommended to prepare a continuous
support for the pipe (having the radii of the pipe to be bent)
and then to bend the pipe against it. Notes
1. Length of Elbow A includes also a straight section
Route change of Pexgol pipes which makes connection to the elbow easier.
inside trenches 2. Length A can be shortened when specially ordered
(after coordination with Golan Plastic Products).
For a route change in buried pipes it is recommended to 3. Larger or smaller radii elbows may be specially ordered.
dig the trench with the minimum bending radius stated in 4. Elbows with angles which are not according to standard
table 1. may be requested by special order.
NATURAL elbows on pipe bridges
The pipe should be fixed with FIXPOINT CLAMPS before
and after the elbow each elbow.
For pipe diameters of / 280 and higher, the elbow should
be supported in the centre in addition to the two
aforementioned FIXPOINTS.

Flanged Coupler for Pexgol pipes
Comply with International Flange Standards

Available sizes from diameters 63mm to 500mm.
The couplers can be used for the full range of temperatures and pressures as Pexgol pipes itself.
Pexgol flanged couplers consist either of two halves or four quarters depending on the pipe size.
The body of the coupler is made of spheroidal cast iron GGG40 (ASTM A-536).
Installing the coupler is easy!
The coupler is placed around the pipe and fastened by screws.
The inner surface of the coupler has special stainless steel teeth.
These teeth penetrate into the pipe wall during tightening of the coupler and provide for good
anchoring onto the pipe, thus preventing the pipe from pulling out from the fitting.
Before final torquing of the nuts the coupler can be turned around the pipe until it is aligned with
the opposite flange.
The sealing gasket seals both between the coupler and the pipe, and also between the coupler
and the opposite flange.
The gasket is designed so that the coupler will not come into contact with the liquid flowing
through the pipe.
The standard gasket is made of EPDM, other materials can be supplied to special order.
The flange has oval holes designed to fit most International standards (see table).

Flared Ends
Connecting Pexgol pipes with Flared ends

The ends of the pipe are heated and then flared by a proprietary process, which is carried out in Golan.
The final pipe-end is similar to a stub-end.
The loose flange is usually mounted over the pipe before the flaring process.
Alternatively split flanges may be used, which can be mounted later.
When connecting two flared ends together, or a pipe with a flared end to a
Flanged fitting, no gasket is needed!
No retorquing is necessary in the flared ends of Pexgol pipes!
The flared-end connection is suitable for both hot and cold media.
In case of sub zero temperatures, special care should be exercised to prevent

pulling-out of the flared end from the flanges.
The pipes can be ordered in lengths according to customers specifications or

in standard Lengths that may fit into 20 or 40 containers.

Branch - Off Saddles

Branch - Off Saddles are designed for side outlets of a maximum diameter equaling half of the main pipes diameter.
They are made from plastic or metal.
Pexgol pipes can be used with plastic saddles such as Plasson saddles or electrofusion saddles, with restrictions regarding
the allowable temperature and pressure range (according to Golans recommendations for Pexgol pipe connections).
Golans metal saddles are suitable for the full temperature and pressure ranges of Pexgol pipes.
Brass saddles with threaded outlets may be used for pipes from 32mm up to 160mm diameter (see page instructions for the
installation of saddles).
For diameters bigger than 110mm stainless steel saddles with threaded or flanged outlets (according to standard requirements)
are available.
All metal saddles are suitable for drinking water.
For corrosive materials which might damage the stainless steel saddle, saddles can be supplied with internal rubber
lining at the flange outlet.
Golan can supply these saddles upon special request.

Pexgol - Instructions for Pressure test
Performing pressure tests in Pexgol Municipal water supply lines

1. Test purpose:
Final check for pipe and fittings to make sure of no leakages.
2. Test procedure:
2.1 On the day before the test, the pipeline can be filled up with water at the maximum working pressure of the pipeline.
2.2 On the day of the test, check the pipeline visually, especially around the fittings.
3. Attention!:
3.1 Metal fittings (flanged couplings, branch-off saddles) should be temporarily covered, to prevent excessive
heat buildup due to exposure to sunlight.
3.2 For installation above the ground, lower test pressures (according to the table) should be used, as the pipe
may be heated up due to the exposure to sunlight.
Test pressure
Pipe Class Underground Above ground

12 14 8.5
15 18 11
24 29 17
3.3 Changes in the pipeline topography (which may create higher local pressure due to a water column),
should be taken into account and the test pressure should be reduced accordingly.
4. Pressure testing:
4.1 Bring up the pressure to the test pressure (see table) and then close the feeding line.
4.2 As the pipe is flexible and tends to increase its diameter under pressure, the line pressure
will go down to 10-20% of the test pressure.
4.3 The line pressure should be increased again (up to the test pressure).
4.4 With each cycle of pressure reduction and re-pressurization the pressure is expected to decrease less.
5.1 After 3-4 cycles, the pressure should be lowered down rapidly to 75% of the working pressure
(by letting out water from the line).
6.1 After closing the valve, the pressure should go up (as the result of the tendency of the pipe to
Pexgol - Instructions for Pressure test

decrease its volume).
6.2 If the pressure is going down instead of going up, you should look for the reason for pressure loss.
i.e. leakages at the fittings.
