INDUSTRIAL FLUID HANDLING

Durapipe PVC-U – for process chemicals and industrial fl uid handling.
Our PVC-U pipe and fi ttings provide excellent chemical
resistance making it ideal for various industrial applications.
PVC-U allows the safe transportation of many acids, alkalis and chemical
concentrates without fear of corrosion and environmental pollution.
Durapipe PVC-U is a solvent welded, fully matched pipework system
incorporating pipe, fittings and valves that is available in both imperial
and metric sizes.
PVC-U is lightweight and is extremely easy to install which can save both time
and money on any given project when compared to other, more traditional
pipework materials.
Furthermore, Durapipe PVC-U is fully WRAS approved and it also meets the
requirements of other internationally recognised standards and approvals.
Durapipe UK PVC-U pipe is listed in the ‘List of Approved Products’ published by the DWI.

What is PVC-U?
PVC-U (Polyvinyl chloride unplasticised) is a highly reliable
resin with high performance properties in terms of thermal
stability, chemical resistance and mechanical operation which is
obtained by the presence of chlorine in the molecular structure.
The different formulations obtained by the addition of suitable

additives and stabilisers, make PVC one of the most versatile plastic
materials, providing several opportunities to use PVC in different
industrial applications.
PVC overcomes many problems that can be associated with other

pipework materials when conveying corrosive chemical fluids or the
distribution or treatment of general water.
Durapipe PVC-U has been used for the conveyance of water, effluents, acids
and chemical concentrates within different industrial applications for many years.

What is the expansion/contraction of an insulated,

temperature of 5°C?
Expansion:
L = 30,000 mm

ΔT = 35 - 15 = 20°C Anchor Point
Expansion = 30,000 x 7 x 10-5 x 20°C

Contraction:
L = 30,000 mm

ΔT = 15 - 5 = 10°C
Contraction = 30,000mm x 7 x 10-5 x 10°C

Calculate the size of expansion loop required for a 90mm diameter pipe expanding 42mm
and contracting 21mm:
Based on the worst case ie. 42mm expansion, ΔL = 21mm

Draw a horizontal line from the vertical section to meet the 90mm pipe gradient line.
Drop a perpendicular from the intersection point to the horizontal scale. The figure obtained
is the free leg length of the loop required.
Hence, in this instance a loop measuring 1200mm long x 600mm wide will cater for ±21mm

specific gravity greater than 1 the distance must be decreased by
dividing the recommended centre distance by the specific gravity.

Code of Practice CP 312 published by the Pipe and Fittings Group
of the British Standards Institute covering installations above and
below ground.
Buried pipes
Recommendations covering essential requirements for installations
below ground may be summarised as follows:
In general, trenches should not be less than a metre deep.
Trenches should be straight sided, approximately 300mm wider
than the pipe diameter to allow proper consolidation of packing
materials. Trench bottoms should be as level as is practical.
Large pieces of rock, debris and sharp objects should be removed.
Alternatively gravel can be laid approximately 100mm deep on the
floor of the trench. (Sand may be used but subterranean water is
liable to wash sand away and leave the pipe unsupported.)
If pipes are jointed above ground, they should remain undisturbed
for 2 hours before being lowered into the trench.
After laying, pipes should be covered with gravel or similar material
to a depth of 100mm above the crown of the pipe. The gravel
should be extended sideways to both trench walls and compacted.
This should be done prior to testing, with joints left exposed.
Care should be taken to ensure that sharp objects, stones, etc,
are prevented from falling into the trench before covering the pipe.
After pressure testing, joints should be covered with gravel or
similar material, and back filling completed.
A section of pipe installed below ground to the above
recommendations is shown in the illustration.

together with a mix of solvents. This mix of solvents softens the
walls of the pipes and fittings and carries out the welding, resulting
in a homogeneous welded joint.
Durapipe PVC-U pipes and fittings are designed for an interference

properties no attempt should be made to increase the clearance
between the pipes and fittings.
Solvent cement welding offers a simple and quick means of
constructing high integrity, leak-free joints.
The solvent cement operates by chemically softening the joint
surfaces. Joint integrity will be greatly reduced if these surfaces
are not clean and properly prepared.

Guardian Introduction
Dual contained pipework for when leaks are not an option…
Durapipe Guardian – Your dual contained specialist
Creating a safe working environment, offering strong environmental control
is imperative in many industrial applications, particularly within the water
treatment, chemical processing and process application sectors. Pressures are
increasing for businesses to provide extra reliability not only to their workforce,
but also to the environment they are operating within, driving demand for extra
reliability provided with a dual contained pipework system.
Durapipe Guardian dual contained pipework system utilises state-of-the-art
technology, using pre-assembled components that guarantee reliability, ease of
installation and fewer joints than many other competitor systems on the market,
providing a perfect solution to applications when leaks are NOT an option!
What is Guardian?
Overview

Since joints are always the most common
source of premature failures and leaks, it is easy
to realise the immense impact the patented
Centra-Lok™ design has on maintenance,
repair and installation costs.

on pages 90-91. A2 - A1 = Additional length of carrier pipe
eg. for 1/2" # 2" (90° Elbow) this equates to 35.1 –
12.7 = 22.4mm
Hence the carrier pipe needs to be 22.4mm longer than the
containment pipe, for simultaneous jointing. Measure and cut
both the carrier and containment pipes to the required distance
and chamfer and clean the pipe and fittings as described in
steps 1 & 2.

This process (points 3-6), can be repeated using standard

Expansion Loop and Elbows
A common method to control the effects of expansion
or contraction in a piping system is to install a
combination of anchors and guides with expansion
loops. Anchors direct pipe to free movement area.
Guides control the carrier pipe movement down the
bore of the containment pipe to, and away from, the (Under Force)
expansion loop.
A relaxed expansion loop as well as one subjected to
temperature change are depicted below. As you can Containment Carrier

process temperature differentials, pipe size, or layout differences.
The expansion joint is shipped fully assembled, using factory tested
joints, to eliminate the need for costly field joints that could create
leak paths.
NOTE: Free space area denotes maximum movement of

carrier to initial interference with containment.
Unwanted stresses resulting from thermal expansion can
be minimised or eliminated by providing for flexibility in
a double containment piping system. This is achieved by
incorporating expansion loops or elbows.
