ABOUT THE COMPANY
The Asahi /America story begins in 1974 when the forward thinking and keen business instincts of its founder and CEO, Leslie B. (Bud) Lewis, put the company in the industrial plastics manufacturing and distribution business. The companys first significant achievement was an agreement to become the exclusive master distributor in the United States and Latin America for Asahi Yukizai Kogyo Co. Ltd., a company believed to be one of the largest manufacturers of thermoplastic valves in the world. The next major move by the company was in 1985 when it obtained the exclusive right to distribute, in the United States, the polypropylene and PVDF products produced by Alois-Gruber GMBH, a major producer of thermoplastic products based in Austria marketing under the name AGRU. The companys growth continues by capitalizing on its exclusive agreements and enhancing those products through actuation manufacturing, specialty fabrication, and acquisitions. The company developed its own system of double containment, marketed under the name Duo-Pro, and acquired a patented dual containment extrusion system called Poly-Flo. Other acquisitions that helped propel Asahi /Americas growth were a line of pressure relief valves, a patented industrial filtration system, and an established line of vortex flow meters. The company has taken its diverse line of products and grown their markets through a network of more than 400 U.S. distributors, approximately 20 foreign distributors, and an organization of independent reps. Asahi/America, an ISO 9001 quality control certified manufacturer, markets and sells its wide variety of products in a vast array of environmentally sensitive and industrial applications; applications that include, but are not limited to, semiconductor manufacturing, chemical processing, waste treatment processes, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. The companys progressive management style continues to foster growth and expansion into new markets and new products. From its humble beginnings to its current stature as a major player in the industrial plastics arena, both domestically and internationally, Asahi /America has established itself as an example for others to imitate. Asahi /America, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Asahi Organic Chemical, is proud to present this Engineering Design Guide to you. This publication represents over 27 years of experience, talent, and engineering expertise. It is intended to aid in the process of engineering, specification, and design of industrial plastic piping systems using the family of Asahi plastic piping systems.

INTRODUCTION A
INTRODUCTION
Plastic piping systems are offered today in a wide assortment of materials and sizes. Each material has unique and specific mechanical properties. These diverse properties allow plastic to become the preferred system for many applications ranging from the transport of aggressive chemicals to the distribution of ultra pure water. Because each material has its own unique properties, understanding them becomes vital to the successful design, installation, and operation of a system. Asahi/America is proud to present this design guide to assist design engineers and system installers with the proper engineering, layout, and installation of plastic systems. Asahi/America has been a pioneer in the manufacture and distribution of plastic systems in the United States process industries. For over 27 years, we have dedicated ourselves to assisting our customers in achieving the maximum benefits plastic systems offer. Designing a system made of thermoplastic materials differs considerably than that of metallic materials. No one understands this as well as Asahi /Americas sales and technical staff. Our trained staff of professionals is available to assist with all aspects of plastic piping systems. The information contained herein is designed to minimize the efforts of engineers, designers, contractors, and research professionals in sizing and selecting all aspects of fluid systems.
THE PLASTIC BENEFIT
Low Friction Loss

Because the interior surface of plastic piping is generally very smooth, less power may be required to transmit fluids in plastic piping compared with other piping systems. Furthermore, the excellent corrosion resistance of plastics means that the low friction loss characteristic will not change over time.
Long-Term Performance
Owing to the relative chemical inertness and the minimal effects of internal and external corrosion, there is very little change in the physical characteristics of plastic piping over dozens of years. Examinations of pipe samples taken from some systems have shown no measurable degradation after 25 years of service. In most cases, Asahi/America pipe systems are designed for 50 years of service.
Light Weight
Most plastic piping systems are on the order of one-sixth the weight of steel piping. This feature means lower costs in many ways: lower freight charges, less manpower, simpler hoisting and rigging equipment, etc. This characteristic has allowed some unique cost saving installation procedures in several applications. ,
Variety of Joining Methods

Plastic piping can be joined by numerous methods. For each material there are several appropriate methods. Some of the most common are solvent cementing, socket fusion, butt fusion, non-contact IR fusion, threaded joints, flanges, 0-rings, rolled grooves, and mechanical compression joints. This variety of joining methods allow plastic piping to be easily adapted to most field conditions.
THE PLASTIC BENEFIT

For pipe, fittings, and valves, thermoplastic materials offer superior corrosion resistance, lighter weight, simple installation, and are generally more cost effective than their alternatives.
Corrosion Resistance
Plastics are non-conductive and are therefore immune to galvanic or electrolytic erosion. Because plastics are corrosion resistant, pipe can be buried in acidic, alkaline, wet or dry soils, and protective coatings are not required. In addition, cathodic protection devices are not required.
Nontoxic
Plastic piping systems have been approved for potable water applications and certain systems are recognized by the FDA as appropriate material to be in contact with food stuff. As evidence of this, all plastic-potable water piping materials and products are tested and listed for compliance to ANSI/NSF Standards 14 and 61. All ASTM and AWWA standards for plastic pressure piping that could be used for potable water contain a provision whereby the regulatory authority or user can require product that has been tested and found to be in conformance with ANSI/NSF Standard 61 Drinking Water System Components Health Effects. When plastic pipe or fittings are ANSI/NSF Standard 14 listed, and have the NSF-pw (potable water) mark, they also meet the ANSI / NSF Standard 61 requirements. The NSF-pw mark certifies to installers, users, and regulators that the product meets the requirements of ANSI / NSF Std 14 for performance and the ANSI / NSF STD 61 for health effects.
Chemical Compatibility
Impervious to many chemicals, thermoplastics are gaining an ever-increasing acceptance and preference in a large variety of applications. Additionally, the variety of materials available allow a wide range of chemical solutions to be handled successfully by plastic piping.
Thermal Conductance
All plastic piping materials have low thermal conductance properties. This feature maintains more uniform temperatures when transporting fluids in plastic than in metal piping. Low thermal conductivity of the wall of plastic piping may eliminate or greatly reduce the need for pipe insulation to control sweating.

cation. Polyethylene can be used in low temperatures (32 F or colder) without risk of brittle failure. Thus, a major application for certain PE piping formulations is for low temperature heat transfer applications such as radiant floor heating, snow melting, ice rinks, geothermal ground source heat pump piping, and compressed air distribution. These properties also make PE ideal for many single and double wall water reclaim systems. PP (Polypropylene). A member of the polyolefin family, PP is one of the lightest plastics known. It possesses excellent chemical resistance to many acids, alkalies, and organic solvents. PP is one of the best materials to use for systems exposed to varying pH levels, as many plastics do not handle both acids and bases as well. It is not recommended for use with hydrocarbons and aromatics. Its upper temperature limit is 195 F (90 C). PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride). This high molecular weight fluorocarbon has superior abrasion resistance, dielectric properties, and mechanical strength. These characteristics are maintained over a temperature range of 32 F (0 C) to 250 F (121 C), with a limited usage range extended to 302 F (178 C). In piping systems, PVDF is best suited for systems operating from 0 F (-17.8 C) to 250 F (121 C). PVDF is highly resistant to wet or dry chlorine, bromine and other halogens, most strong acids, aliphatics, aromatics, alcohols, and chlorinated solvents. Because of its extremely low amounts of extractables, PVDF is widely used in the transport of ultra pure water for the semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries. E-CTFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene). E-CTFE fluoropolymer is commonly known by its trade name Halar(1). E-CTFE is essentially a 1:1 alternating copolymer of ethylene and CTFE (chlorotrifluoroethylene). It contains about 80% CTFE, one of the most chemically resistant building blocks that can be used to make a polymer. However, CTFE homopolymers are difficult to fabricate, extrude, or mold. By the copolymerization with ethylene, E-CTFE displays much of the chemical resistance of CTFE with the case of processing. It provides excellent chemical resistance-handling applications that almost all other materials cannot. In particular, E-CTFE demonstrates effective handling of fuming acids and chlorinated bases. It is most likely the best material for handling high concentrations of sodium hypochlorite. Additionally, E-CTFE has good electrical properties, and a broad-use temperature range from cryogenic to 300 F (150 C). E-CTFE is a tough material with excellent impact strength over its broad-use temperature range. E-CTFE also maintains useful properties on exposure to cobalt 60 radiation at dosages of 200 megarands. It is one of the best fluoropolymers for abrasion resistance.(2)
Biological Resistance
To date, there are no documented reports of any fungi, bacteria, or termite attacks on any plastic piping system. In fact, because of its inertness, plastic piping is the preferred material in deionized and other high-purity water applications.
Abrasion Resistance
Plastic piping materials provide excellent service in handling slurries such as fly ash, bottom ash, and other abrasive solutions. The material toughness and the smooth inner-bore of plastic piping make it ideal for applications where abrasionresistance is needed.
Low Maintenance
A properly designed and installed plastic piping system requires very little maintenance because there is no rust, pitting, or scaling to contend with. The interior and exterior piping surfaces are not subject to galvanic corrosion or electrolysis. In buried applications, the plastic piping is not generally affected by chemically aggressive soil.
THERMOPLASTICS AT A GLANCE
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). Asahi /America uses an unplasticized PVC polymer in all of its PVC valves. PVC has excellent chemical resistance, strength, and rigidity. It resists attack by most acids and strong alkalies, as well as gasoline, kerosene, aliphatic alcohols and hydrocarbons, and salt solutions. Aromatic, chlorinated organic compounds, and lacquer solvents do affect PVC chemical properties. Its low cost and overall balance of properties make PVC material best suited to the widest number of corrosive applications. Its temperature limit is 140 F (60 C). CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride). The properties of CPVC and its advantages are very similar to those of PVC; however, its working temperature range is higher (195 F/90 C) than that of PVC. It should be specified, in some instances, where hot corrosive liquids are being handled, an extra margin of safety is required. PE (Polyethylene). PE is produced from the polymerization of ethylene. Depending on the polymerization process, PE piping systems are available in low and high-density versions. These forms of PE are distinguished by specific gravity. Low-density PE (LDPE) generally has a specific gravity of 0.910 to 0.925 g/cc. High-density PE (HDPE), on the other hand, usually has a specific gravity of 0.941 to 0.959 g/cc. The different grades of PE have different mechanical properties. Where HDPE is generally superior to LDPE, it is important to know which mechanical properties you are reviewing when selecting PE for your appli(1) Halar is a registered trademark of Ausimont Corporation.

INTRODUCTION A
PLASTIC RESINS
All plastic piping systems begin with the production of resin. Some resin, such as Solef TM PVDF, is produced pure without any additives. Others, such as PVC, must have stabilizers added in order to make them suitable for pipe and fitting production. When evaluating the suitability of plastics for your application, you should know and understand which resin is being used and its effects. The effects of stabilizers and copolymerization differ from material to material. Furthermore, a desired effect in material for one application may be undesirable for a different application. A prime example of this is PVC. In order to be producible, pure PVC requires the addition of stabilizers. These stabilizers allow PVC to be molded and extruded, as well as adding to its overall strength. For simple plumbing, some chemical distribution, and other applications, this is acceptable and desired. However, these same stabilizers make PVC unusable for higher quality, ultra pure water applications because they contribute to the water's contamination through leaching extractables.
PLASTIC RESINS
If a manufacturer uses resins with large differences between the MFI in its fittings and pipe, the overall integrity of the system becomes reduced. Pipe and fittings do not weld together properly and the mechanical properties may be extremely different. Therefore, the art and science of polymer pipe system manufacturing is to develop the skill and expertise to manufacture with resins of the closest MFI without sacrificing product quality. Purad achieves this through the use of high-purity 1000 Series Solef resins by Solvay. Purad exclusively offers its system of resin with the closest MFI and produced by the same manufacturer. Furthermore, manufacturing and packaging of high-purity PVDF resin is an important factor in the overall quality of PVDF components. The purity of its components begins in essence with the resin. Solvay understands this important fact and carefully manufactures and packages Solef 1000 Series resin with the strictest attention to high-purity concerns. Asahi /America and Agru's Purad Systems are designed for a variety of applications from ultra pure water to aggressive chemical distribution. Purad PVDF offers the user a broad range of chemical resistance and temperature operation.
Solvays High-Purity PVDF Solef Resin

Not all PVDF resin is the same. As a polymer, resin can differ by the length of the polymer and its molecular weight. While maintaining similar chemical compatibility, resins of different molecular weight have different mechanical properties, welding characteristics, and Melt Flow Indexes (MFI). Manufacturers intentionally use resin with slightly different polymer structures for their pipe, fittings, and valves. The reason for this is simple. For the extrusion of pipe it is desirable to use a polymer with a lower MFI, which easily maintains its form as it exits the extruder. Conversely, fitting resin is required to freely flow through the mold and evenly fill the entire internal cavity. Therefore, a high MFI is desired.

MATERIALS
POLYPROPYLENE (PPR AND PPH)
POLYPROPYLENE
Asahi /America is the pioneer of piping systems made of polypropylene in the United States. For over 15 years, polypropylene systems have been successfully applied for a wide variety of applications. Polypropylene is used in double containment systems, chemical piping, and pure water systems. It is chemically resistant to many strong and weak acids. In addition, it is one of the few materials that is recommended for strong bases such as sodium hydroxide. It is not ideal for strong oxidizing acids, aromatics, and chlorinated hydrocarbons. An all inclusive chemical resistant table is available in Section E. Polypropylene has an extended operating range up to a maximum temperature of 200 F. See Appendix A for pressure rating charts on all materials. Polypropylene is a fairly ductile material at ambient temperatures and it demonstrates good impact strength. Polypropylene is available in two grades: copolymer and homopolymer. Homopolymer polypropylene is a Type I resin according to ASTM D 4101 and is produced from 100% propylene monomer. Copolymer polypropylene is a blend of (6%) ethylene and
(94%) propylene. Copolymer resins generally exhibit better mechanical strength and offer higher safety factors into a system design. In addition, copolymer PP shows a greater purity level when tested in a static leach test, making it the ideal material for pure water systems. Table B-1 shows the differences between the two types of polypropylenes. Asahi /America uses both types of material based on the application. Copolymer is referred to as PPR, with the R designating the term random copolymer. PPH is the standard designation for homopolymer polypropylene.
Toxicity
Polypropylene (PPR and PPH materials) comply with the relevant food stuff regulations as defined by ONORM B 5014, Part 1, FDA, BGA, KTW guidelines. Other modified polypropylenes are not compliant due to additives. Such materials include PPH-s, PPR-el, and PPR-s-el, which have been modified for improved fire ratings and electro-conductivity. These are discussed in the next section.

Finally, PPR-s-el is the combination of the electro-conductive property and the enhanced fire ratings. PPR-s-el is a copolymer polypropylene. PPH-s, PPR-el, and PPR-s-el have slightly different properties than standard polypropylene. These changes in the material also change the chemical resistance of the material. While the resistance to chemical attack is similar to that of common polypropylenes, verification of each application with the Engineering Department at Asahi /America is recommended. These materials are produced by Agru and are available from Asahi /America. Consult Asahi /America for availability.

MATERIALS
POLYETHYLENE (PE80 AND PE100)
POLYETHYLENE
Polyethylene is one of the most common thermoplastic materials. Polyethylene is available in a diverse variety of grades providing varying physical properties for specified applications. PE is commonly available in low density (LDPE), medium density, (MDPE), high density (HDPE), and ultra high molecular weight (UHMWPE) forms. Within each of the designations there are various classes of material. Classes of polyethylene are specified according to ASTM D-3350 which depicts the differences between grades of material. In piping systems the most common type of PE is high density polyethylene. Due to the extensive range of HDPE materials, discussion will be centered around materials offered by Asahi /America. The first grade of HDPE offered by A / A is generally known as PE80. PE80 is a black color material that is 100% UV resistant. PE80 has fairly good chemical resistance to strong and weak acids, as well as many base chemicals. It has a maximum operating temperature range of 140 F. PE80 also has fairly ductile properties in cold temperature conditions. PE80 is generally used for simple, less aggressive applications. It can be readily applied in double containment pipe systems, and is ideal for wastewater applications.
The other material, HDPE, offered by Asahi /America, is PE100. This is a special high grade PE that is not commonly available. For certain applications, only PE100 can be used. PE100 is available in both blue and black color depending on the application, but it is not limited to those colors. PE100 is a further development of PE materials by modifying the polymerization process. PE100 has a higher density than PE80. PE100 also has superior mechanical strength and a higher cell classification as compared to PE80. It provides higher pressure ratings and higher safety factors in all applications. It is one of few materials available to the market that meets Cal-OSHA requirements for thermoplastic use in unprotected compressed gas applications. Due to its extremely ductile nature, it will resist shattering in all failure modes and even in cold temperatures. PE100 has a maximum temperature rating of 140 F. It is available in multiple pressure ratings and is commonly available in a high pressure rated version of 230 psi at 70 F. See Appendix A for system pressure ratings. In general, PE100 material offers higher pressure rated piping systems without the addition of more material or a thicker wall, which can lead to greater pressure drop in larger diameter systems.

POLYVINYLIDENE FLUORIDE
MATERIALS
The suspension process, as opposed to emulsion or Type I PVDF, allows the manufacture of polymers with fewer structural defects in the molecular chain. In other words, the PVDF polymers are more crystalline. Thus, the melting temperature and the mechanical characteristics are higher than homopolymers with the same average molecular weights obtained by emulsion polymerization. Solef PVDF is thus manufactured by suspension polymerization of vinylidene fluoride. The process uses a recipe where the monomer is first introduced in an aqueous suspension and then polymerized by means of a special organic peroxide-type polymerization initiator at low dosage. The polymerization is performed in a heated autoclave under high pressure. The polymer powder form is then subjected to extensive washing and rinsing operations, and then, after drying, is stored in homogenizing silos. All the while, strict inspections are performed on line in order to ensure optimal quality control. When complete, Solef PVDF contains a high percentage of fluorine. The bond between the highly electronegative fluorine and carbon atom is extremely strong with a dissociation energy of 460 kj/mol. Thus, the importance of exclusively using Solef PVDF high-purity resin is two fold: 1. Provides for a cleaner, mechanically superior system. 2. Allows the closest melt flow indices between system components, which in turn, provides superior welding/joining capabilities.
POLYVINYLIDENE FLUORIDE (PVDF)

PVDF is a thermoplastic fluorocarbon polymer with wide thermal stability from -62 C (-80 F) to 148 C (300 F) and crystalline melting point of 171 C (340 F). In terms of piping systems, PVDF has a usage range of up to 121 C (250 F).
Material Grade
Purad PVDF pipe, valves, and fittings are manufactured of natural polyvinylidene fluoride resin. PVDF is part of the fluorocarbon family and has the following molecular structure. PVDF resin is partially crystalline and has F H a high molecular weight. Purad is 100% C C PVDF with absolutely no antioxidants, anti-static agents, colorants, fillers, flame F H n retardants, heat stabilizers, lubricants, plasticizers, preservatives, processing aids, UV stabilizers, or any other additives. Purad is also resistant to the effects of gamma radiation and has a V-O rating according to the UL-94 vertical flame test. Purad PVDF has been tested for its inherent purity through extensive testing performed by internationally recognized independent laboratories. The outstanding performance of Purad material, with respect to extreme conditions, is well documented and available upon request. Therefore, it is well suited to handle such aggressive media as ultra pure water and ultra pure, electronic grade acids. Just as importantly, it conforms to FDA regulations as outlined in Title 21, Chapter 1, Part 177-2510 (contact with food).
Corrosion Resistance
Purad PVDF systems offer the broadest protection for the chemical process industries, pulp mill bleaching, bromine processing, and electronic product manufacturing in both etching operations and ultra pure deionized water lines. Purad-PVDF resins resist most corrosive chemicals and many organic solvents. It is particularly good against strong oxidants, strong acids, all salts, and solvents such as chlorinated, aromatic, and aliphatic. Strong base amines and ketones such as hexamethylene diamine and propyldimethylformamide, and methylethyl ketone are not recommended for use with PVDF.

HALAR (E-CTFE)
HALAR
Halar is a durable copolymer of ethylene and chlorotrifluoroethylene. It is resistant to a wide variety of corrosive chemicals and organic solvents including strong acids, chlorine, and aqueous caustics. Best known as its trade name Halar, it has excellent abrasion resistance and electrical properties, extremely low permeability, and handles temperatures from cryogenic to 171 C (340 F), with continuous service to 149 C (300 F). Its brittleness temperature is 105 F. Severe stress tests have demonstrated that Halar is not subject to chemically induced stress cracking from strong acids, bases, or solvents. Only hot amines and molten alkali metals affect Halar. There is no known solvent for Halar below 250 F. Additionally, Halar is most likely the best known material for handling high concentrations of sodium hypochlorite.
Asahi /America Halar systems are manufactured from unpigmented fluoropolymer E-CTFE resin. Their chemical structure, a one-to-one alternating copolymer of ethylene and chlorotrifluoroethylene, provides a unique combination of properties. In addition to superior chemical resistance and unmatched mechanical properties, Halar maintains its usefulness during exposure to cobalt 60 radiation at dosages of 200 megarads, and meets the fire requirements of UL-94 V-0 vertical flame tests. For these reasons, Halar is considered one of the most durable and versatile thermoplastics used in piping systems. Applications ranging from the harshest of chemicals to the purest of hot DI water are ideal. No other known thermoplastic offers as much versatility in chemical resistance and strong mechanical properties as Halar.

ENGINEERING THEORY
INTRODUCTION
This section of the guide is to assist in the engineering and theory of a thermoplastic pipe system. Asahi /America provides the theory and the data on the design within this section. When designing a pipe system, all of the topics in this section should be considered. The complexity of your system will dictate how detailed the engineering needs to be. For safety reasons, it is important to consider all topics.
DESIGN BASIS
While thermoplastics provide many advantages in terms of weight, cleanliness, ease of joining, corrosion resistance, and long life, it does require different considerations than that of metal pipe and valves. Like any product on the market, thermoplastic has its advantages and its limitations. Use the engineering data in this section, coupled with the design requirements of Section D, for optimal results in a thermoplastic piping system.
Normally metal pipes and PVC pipes are sized according to Schedule ratings. A common Schedule rating for PVC is Sch 40 or 80. The higher the number, the higher the pressure rating. In schedule systems, no matter what the material, the wall thickness will always be the same. For example, a Sch 40 PVC pipe will have the same wall thickness as a Sch 40 PVDF pipe. However, due to the differences in material properties, these pipes will have very different pressure ratings. Schedule ratings offer the convenience of tradition and dimensional consistency. Since all plastic materials have varying strength and are normally connected with 150 psi flanges, Schedule ratings are not really the best standard to be used. If a material offers superior mechanical strength, such as PVDF, it can be extruded with a thinner pipe wall than perhaps a Sch 80 rating, while still providing a 150 psi rating. The conclusion is that Schedule ratings ignore material properties, and in many cases, waste excess material and cost just to meet the required wall thickness of the standard. A better system being used is SDR. This is a ratio between the OD of the pipe and the wall thickness. SDR is simply the outside diameter of the pipe divided by the wall thickness. All PVDF and polypropylene pipes supplied by Asahi /America are produced according to ISO 4065 standards, which outlines a universal wall thickness table. From the standard, the following equation for determining wall thickness is derived. 2S D = -1 = (SDR) - 1 t P (C-1)
DESIGN BASIS
Outside Diameter of Pipe
Outside diameter (OD) of piping is designed, produced, and supplied in varying standards worldwide. The two prevalent systems are metric sizes and iron pipe sizes (IPS). IPS is a common standard in the United States for both metal and plastic piping. PVC, C-PVC, stainless steel, high density polyethylene (as examples) are generally found with an IPS OD. The difference is the inside diameter (ID). Each of these materials will be produced with a different ID based on the wall thickness. Asahi /America pipe systems are provided both in metric and IPS OD dimensions depending on the material. Polypropylene and PVDF systems are always produced to metric outside diameters. However, these systems are also provided with standard ANSI flanges and NPT threads to accommodate attaching to standard US equipment and existing pipe systems.

Inside Diameter and Wall Thickness

The ID of a pipe can be based on various standards. The two common standards for determining the ID or wall thickness of a pipe is a Schedule rating and a Standard Dimensional Ratio (SDR).
Where: D t P S
= outside diameter = wall thickness = allowed pressure rating = design stress
C-2
ASAHI /AMERICA
Rev. EDG 02/A
DESIGN BASIS
ENGINEERING THEORY
The design stress is based on the hydrostatic design basis (HDB) of the material. S = (HDB) / F where F is a safety factor. HDB is determined from testing the material according to ASTM D 2837-85 to develop a stress regression curve of the material over time. By testing and extrapolating out to a certain time, the actual hoop stress of the material can be determined. From the determination of the actual HDB, the exact allowed pressure rating and required wall thickness is determined. The advantage is that piping systems based on SDR are properly designed based on material properties instead of a random wall thickness. One key advantage to using SDR sizing is that all pipes in a Standard Dimensional Ratio have the same pressure rating. For example, a polypropylene pipe with an SDR equal to 11 has a pressure rating of 150 psi. This pressure rating of 150 psi is consistent in all sizes of the system. A 1/2" SDR 11 and a 10" SDR 11 pipe and fitting have the same pressure rating. This is not the case in schedule systems. The wall thickness requirement in a schedule system is not based on material properties, so a 4" plastic pipe in Sch 80 will have a different pressure rating than a 10" Sch 80 pipe. It should be noted that in all SDR systems the determined allowed pressure rating is based on the material properties. Therefore, the actual SDR number will be consistent within a material type, but not consistent across different materials of pipe. Table C-1. Example of SDRs

FLUID DYNAMICS
Sizing a thermoplastic pipe system is not much different than that of a metal pipe system. Systems transporting compressible fluids and non-compressible fluids are sized very differently and have different concerns. This section will approach each subject separately.

v = velocity (ft /s)
Non-Compressible Fluids
The basic definition for the liquid flow of any liquid is as follows:

Sizing a Thermoplastic Piping System

Preliminary Sizing The first step in designing a piping system is to decide what diameter sizes to use. If the only basis to begin with is the required flow rates of the fluid to be handled, there must be some way to estimate the diameter sizes of the piping. Without this knowledge, it would be a lengthy trial and error process. The diameter must first be known to calculate velocities and thus the pressure drop across the system. Once the pressure drop is found, a pump can be sized to provide the proper flow rate at the required pressure. Equations C-8, C-9, and C-10 represent quick sizing methods for liquid flow to give an initial sizing of diameter size of a piping system. v= 48 ( ) 3

Determination of Reynolds Number Once the diameter sizes have been selected for a given piping system, the next step is to determine whether the flow through the pipes is laminar or turbulent. The only accepted way of determining this characteristic through analytic means is by calculating the Reynolds Number. The Reynolds Number is a dimensionless ratio developed by Osborn Reynolds, which relates inertial forces to viscous forces.

P = pressure loss due to friction (psi) = fluid density (lb/ft3)
The equation is based upon the friction factor (f), which in this form is represented as the Darcy or Moody friction factor. The following relationship should be kept in mind, as it can be a source of confusion: f DARCY = f MOODY = 4f FANNING In Perrys Handbook of Chemical Engineering, and other chemical and /or mechanical engineering texts, the Fanning friction factor is used, so this relationship is important to point out. If the flow is laminar (Nre <2000), the friction factor is: f = 64 (laminar flow only) Nre (C-17)
Once the Reynolds Number is determined, it can be used in other equations for friction and pressure losses.
Pressure Loss Calculations

There are a number of different methods for calculating pressure loss in a piping system. Two of the more common methods are the Darcy method and the Hazen and Williams method. The Hazen and Williams method has been the more commonly accepted method for calculating pressure loss in plastic pipes. However, the Darcy method is the more universally accepted method for piping made of all materials, although its use requires more tedious calculations. Below is an explanation of both methods.
If this quantity is substituted into Equation C-16, the pressure drop becomes the Poiseuille equation for pressure drop due to laminar flow:
P = 0.000668 Lv (laminar flow only)

d2
(C-18)
Darcy Method
The Darcy formula states that the pressure drop is proportional to the square of the velocity, the length of the pipe, and is inversely proportional to the diameter of the pipe. The formula is valid for laminar or turbulent flow. Expressed in feet of fluid flowing, the Darcy formula is: hf = f L v2 2d g (C-15)
If the flow is turbulent, as is often the case for plastic pipes, the friction factor is not only a factor of Reynolds Number, but also upon the relative roughness (/d). (/d) is a dimensionless quantity representing the ratio of roughness of the pipe walls, , and the inside diameter, d. Since Asahi /Americas thermoplastic systems are extremely smooth, friction factor decreases rapidly with increasing Reynolds Number. The roughness has a greater effect on smaller diameter pipes since roughness is independent of the diameter of the pipes. This relationship can be seen graphically in Figure C-1. (Note: has been determined experimentally to be 6.6 x 10-7 ft for PVDF. for polypropylene pipe is approximately the same as that for drawn tubing = 5 x 10-6 ft) The friction factor can be found from the plot of /d versus friction factor shown in Figure C-2, which is known as the Moody chart. The Moody chart is based on the Colebrook and White equation: d 2.51 = -2 log + 1 3.7 Nre(f) 2
Where: h f = head loss due to friction (ft) f = Darcy (Moody) friction factor L = total length of pipe, including equivalent lengths of fittings, valves, expansions, and contractions, etc. (ft) v = fluid velocity (ft/sec) d = inside diameter (ft) g = gravitational acceleration (32.174 ft/s2)

(C-21) Figure C-2. Friction factor versus Reynolds Number for Asahi /America pipe Quick Sizing Method for Pipe Diameters By modifying the Darcy equation, it can be seen that pressure loss is inversely proportional to the fifth power of the internal diameter. The same is approximately true for the Hazen and Williams formula as shown in Equation C-22. Therefore, when pressure drop has been determined for one diameter in any prescribed piping system, it is possible to prorate to other diameters by ratio of the fifth powers. The following relationship is used to prorate these diameters when the Darcy formula has been used in Equation C-23:
P = pressure loss (psi/100 ft of pipe)
For plastic piping, it has been generally accepted that C varies from 165 to 150. Therefore, most designs have been sized using C = 150 as the basis, providing a conservative design. This compares quite favorably with that of carbon steel, which generally is assigned a value of C = 120 for new pipe and C = 65 for used piping. Substituting C = 150 into Equation C-20 yields the following relationship in Equation C-22: Q d

This formula assumes negligible variation in frictional losses through small changes in diameter sizes, and constant fluid density, pipe length, and fluid flow rate. When using Hazen and Williams, the formula itself is easy enough to use if the value of C is considered to be constant and is known.

Outlet Piping for Pumps, Pressure Tanks, or Reservoirs

Pressure Drop for Valves To determine the pressure drop across a valve requires the Cv value for the valve at the particular degree of open. The Cv value is readily available from a valve manufacturer on each style of valve. Use Equation C-27 to determine the pressure drop across each valve in the pipe system. Sum all the pressure drops of all the valves. Pvalves = Q2 SG 2 Cv (C-27)
Once frictional losses in the piping are known along with elevational changes, the pump head can be calculated and the pump sized. If a pump already exists, then an analysis can be made from the hf value to determine which diameter size will give frictional losses low enough to allow the pump to still deliver the fluid. It may occur that the application does not involve pumps at all, but instead involves gravity flow from an elevated tank, or flow from a pressurized vessel. In either case, Equation C-28 can be solved with the term hpump = 0 to determine elevation necessary of the reservoir to convey the fluid within a given diameter size, or calculate the amount of pressure required in the pressure tank for the given diameter size. If the application is such that a pressure tank or elevation of reservoir is already set, then hf can be solved to determine diameter size required to allow the fluid to be delivered.
Pressure Drop for Welds Finally, determine the pressure drop due to the welding system. In actuality it would be very difficult and time consuming to determine the pressure drop across each weld in a system.

Inlet Piping to Pumps
Inlet sizing of diameters of piping to supply a pump depends on the Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) required by the pump. NPSH is given by the manufacturer of a pump for each specific pump to be supplied. If the pressure at the entrance to the pump is less than the NPSH, a situation known as cavitation will occur. Cavitation will occur at pump inlets whenever the fluid pressure drops below the vapor pressure at the operating temperature. As the pump sucks too hard at the incoming fluid, the fluid will tend to pull apart and vaporize, resulting in a subsequent damaging implosion at the impeller face. In addition, NPSH must be higher than the expected internal loss between the pump and impeller blades. To determine NPSH, the following equation is used: NPSH = hatmos + Zpump - hfriction - hminor - hvapor (Z is positive if the pump is below inlet) Where: hatmos = atmospheric pressure head = (pa /62.4; pa is in lb/ft2) (ft) (corrected for elevation) Zpump = elevation pressure head (ft) (difference between reservoir exit and pump inlet) hf = total of pipe fittings and valve frictional head losses (ft) hminor = entrance and/or exit losses (ft), (use inlet loss formulas or hc = 0.0078v2) hvapor = vapor head (ft), (use property tables for specific fluid, i.e., steam tables for H2O) d=

Sizing of Drain, Waste, and Vent Piping

Flow in a Vertical Stack As flow in a vertical stack is accelerated downward by the action of gravity, it assumes the form of a sheet around the pipe wall shortly after it enters the sanitary tee or wye. The acceleration of the sheet continues until the frictional force exerted by the walls of the stack equals the force of gravity. The maximum velocity that is thus attained is termed terminal velocity and the distance required to achieve this velocity is termed terminal length. It takes approximately one story height for this velocity to be attained. The terminal velocity normally falls into the range of somewhere between 10 to 15 feet per second. Some simplified equations for terminal velocity and terminal length are as follows:
The value of rs is determined according to local building codes. Also, the maximum number of fixture units, laboratory drains, floor drains, etc. is normally established by the local building codes.
Flow in Sloping Drains Where Steady Uniform Flow Exists

There are many formulas useful to determine flow for sloping drains with steady uniform flow. The most commonly used equation is the Manning equation: 1.486R 0.67 S 0.5 n

v = mean velocity (ft/s) R = hydraulic radius = area flowing/wetted perimeter (ft) S = hydraulic gradient (slope) n = Manning coefficient
(C-37) The value of n varies from 0.012 for 11/2" pipe to 0.016 for pipes 8" and larger under water flow. The quantity of flow is found from: Q = Av (C-40)
terminal velocity in stack (ft/s) terminal length below entry point (ft) flow rate (gpm) inside diameter of stack (ft)
When flow in the stack enters the horizontally sloping building drain at the bottom of the stack, the velocity is slowed from the terminal velocity. The velocity in the horizontally sloping drain decreases slowly and the depth of flow increases. This continues until the depth increases suddenly and completely fills the cross section of the sloping drain. The point at which this occurs is known as hydraulic jump. The pipe will then flow full until pipe friction along the walls establishes a uniform flow condition of the draining fluid. The distance at which jump occurs varies considerably according to flow conditions, and the amount of jump varies inversely with the diameter of the horizontal building drain. Flow capacity of the vertical stack depends on the diameter of the stack and the ratio of the sheet of fluid at terminal velocity to the diameter of the stack:
Where: Q = flow rate (ft3/s) A = cross section of the flow (ft2) v = velocity (ft/s) This equation is not valid for conditions where surging flow might exist. A more detailed analysis should be used in surging flow situations, with the Manning equation serving as a rough check on the calculated values.

Compressible Fluids
Designing pipe lines for compressed air or gas is considerably different from designing a non-compressible liquid system. Gases are compressible, so there are more variables to consider. Designs should take into account current and future demands to avoid unnecessarily large pressure drops as a system is expanded. Elevated pressure drops represent unrecoverable energy and financial losses.

(C-41)
Main Lines
Normal compressed air systems incorporate two types of pipe lines when designed correctly: the main (or the trunk) line and the branch lines. Mains are used to carry the bulk of the compressed gas. Undersizing the main can create large pressure drops and high velocities throughout the system. In general, systems should be oversized to allow for future expansion, as well as reduce demand on the compressor. Oversizing the main line will be more of an initial capital expense, but can prove to be an advantage over time. In addition to reducing pressure drop, the extra volume in the trunk line acts as an added receiver, reducing compressor demand and allows for future expansion. Small mains with high velocities can also cause problems with condensed water. High air velocities pick up the condensed water and spray it through the line. With a larger diameter, velocities are lowered, allowing water to collect on the bottom of the pipe while air flows over the top. A generally accepted value for velocity in the main line is 20 feet per second. It may also be preferred to arrange the mains in a loop to have the entire pipe act a reservoir.
inside diameter (inches) length of main line (ft) standard volumetric flow rate (make-up air) output pressure from compressor (psi) allowable pressure drop (psi)
Equation C-41 relates the pipes inside diameter (id) to the pressure drop. In order to use the equation, certain information must be known. First, the required air consumption must be predetermined. Based on required air consumption, choose a compressor with an output pressure rating (P). The length of the main pipe line to be installed and the number of fittings in the main line must also be known. For fittings use Appendix A to determine the equivalent length of pipe per fitting style. Specify the allowable pressure drop in the system. Typically, a value of 4 psi or less is used as a general rule of thumb for compressed air systems.
Branch Lines
Lines of 100 feet or less coming off the main line are referred to as branch lines. Since these lines are relatively short in length, and the water from condensation is separated in the main lines, branches are generally sized smaller and allow for higher velocities and pressure drops. To prevent water from entering the branch line, gooseneck fittings are used to draw air from the top of the main line, leaving condensed water on the bottom of the main.

THERMAL EXPANSION DESIGN (single wall)

THERMAL EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION IN SINGLE WALL PIPING SYSTEMS
First, calculate the stress that will be present in the system due to all operating systems. These include stresses due to thermal cycling and the stress due to internal pressure. Thermal stress can be calculated with Equation C-42. ST = E
THERMAL EXPANSION DESIGN

Plastic pipe systems will expand and contract with changing temperature conditions. It is the rule and not the exception. The effect of thermal expansion must be considered and designed for in each and every thermoplastic pipe system. Thermal effects in plastic versus metal are quite dramatic. To illustrate the point, Figure C-6 below outlines the differences in growth rates between different plastics and metal piping materials.

Figure C-6. Comparison of thermal expansion of plastic and steel piping material An increase in temperature in a system will cause the pipe to want to expand. If the system is locked in position and not allowed to expand, stress in the system will increase. If the stress exceeds the allowable stress the system can tolerate, the piping will fatigue and eventually could fail. Progressive deformation may occur upon repeated thermal cycling or on prolonged exposure to elevated temperature in a restrained system. Thermoplastic systems, therefore, require sufficient flexibility to prevent the expansion and contraction from causing: Failure of piping or supports from over strain or fatigue Leakage Detrimental stresses or distortion in piping or connected equipment Asahi /America has put together simplified equations to predict the stress in a system to avoid fatigue. For safety reasons, Asahi /America takes a conservative approach to design considerations. With over 5,000 successful installations of thermoplastic piping systems, Asahi /America is providing the right approach. Many of the equations below are applicable for single and double wall piping systems. A dual contained piping system will have a few more design variables, but the approach is similar. Review the single wall section first to fully comprehend thermal expansion design issues.
Now combine the stresses of ST and Sp using Equation C-44 to obtain the total stress placed on the system due to the operating parameters.
Sc =

Knowing the combined stress and force generated in a system now allows the designer to make decisions on how to compensate for the thermal effects. By comparing the combined stress to the hoop stress of material allows a safety factor to be determined.

Restraint Only
Figure C-9. Improper design
Therefore if this system was fully restrained, it would have 2.2 to 1 safety factor. The factor assumes that the system will be properly anchored and guided to avoid pinpoint loads. If the value of the combined stress was 600 psi and the resulting safety factor is now below 2, the designer should / may choose to compensate for the expansion using a flexible design.
Flexible System Design

A flexible pipe design is based on strategically using expansion and contraction compensating devices to relieve the stress in the piping system. Common devices are, but are not limited to: Expansion loops Expansion offsets Changes in direction Flexible bellows Pipe pistons To compensate for thermal expansion, Asahi /America recommends using loops, offsets, and changes in direction. By using the pipe itself to relieve the stress, the integrity of the pipe system is maintained. The use of bellows or pistons will also work, but often introduce other concerns such as mechanical connections and possible leaky seals. Although these occurrences are not common, using the pipe eliminates the chance altogether. The following section outlines how to size expansion loops. An example is included to better understand how to use the equations and lay out a system. To start, first determine the amount of growth in the pipe system due to the temperature change. The change in pipe length is calculated as follows:
Restraining a System
If a system design is deemed safe to restrain, proper hanging design becomes critical. If fittings such as 90 elbows are not properly protected, the thermal end load could crush the fitting. It is important to remember that end load is independent of pipe length. The expansion in one foot of piping compared to the expansion in 100 feet of piping under the same operating conditions will generate the same force. A proper design will protect fittings using anchors and guides. Use guides to keep pipe straight and not allow the material to bow or warp on the pipe rack. Use anchor or restraint style fittings to protect fittings at changes of direction or branches.
L = 12 x L x x T
Where:

L = change in length (in) T

L = length of the pipe run (ft) = coefficient of thermal expansion (in/in/ F) = 6.67 x 10-5 for PVDF = 8.33 x 10-5 for PP = 8.33 x 10-5 for HDPE = temperature change ( F)

T is the maximum temperature (or minimum) minus the install temperature. If the installation temperature or time of year is unknown, it is practical to increase the T by 15% for safety. It is not necessary or practical to use the maximum temperature minus the minimum temperature unless it will truly be installed in one of those conditions.

Growth
The last choice is to accommodate the expansion using existing changes in direction. By allowing pipe to flex at the corners, stress can be relieved without building large expansion loops. For a change in direction to properly relieve stress, it must not be locked for a certain distance allowing the turn to flex back and forth. Use Equation C-49 and Figure C-13 to properly design changes in direction.

Consider two possible approaches to solve the expansion in the system. For the shorter run of 25 feet, use the change in direction to compensate for the growth.

Since the 100-foot pipe run is anchored on the end of the pipe system, it is difficult to use the horizontal change in direction to compensate for the growth. However, the 90 elbow on the end of the vertical can be used.
A = 30 3.54 x 1.40 A = 66.7 inches = 5.5 feet Therefore, the vertical run should be guided 5.5 feet from the bottom of the horizontal run. This allows the expansion to relax itself by use of the flexible 90 elbow.

As with all three methods of expansion, it is necessary to use hangers that will anchor the pipe in certain locations and be a guide in other locations.

THERMAL EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION IN DOUBLE WALL PIPING SYSTEMS
The effect of thermal changes on a double containment piping system is the same as a single wall system. However, the design considerations are more involved to ensure a safe operation.

Duo-Pro and Fluid-Lok Systems

For thermal expansion in a double contained system, it is necessary to discuss and design it based on the system. Not all double wall piping can be designed in the same manner, and some systems truly may not be able to be designed around large changes in temperature. In a double contained piping system, three types of expansion can occur: Carrier pipe exposed to thermal changes, containment remains constant. Typical possibility when carrier pipe is exposed to liquids of various temperature, while outer containment is in a constant environment such as in buried applications. Containment piping experiences thermal changes, while carrier remains constant. Typical application is outdoor pipe racking with constant temperature media being transported in carrier. Both inner and outer experience temperature changes. A double containment system can be restrained the same way as a single wall system. The values for actual stress in a system versus those allowable can also be determined. Then, the decision can be made according to the systems needs to use either flexible or restrained supports.
Where: Sp D t P
= stress due to internal pressure (psi) = pipe OD (in) = wall thickness (in) = system pressure (psi)
Now combine the stresses of Sp and ST using Equation C-52 to obtain the total stress placed on the system due to the operating parameters.
2+ S 2 2 2 S S =S S + SP cc= TT p
(C-52)
Where: Sc = combined stress (psi) Having the combined stress of the system, the total end load on the piping and anchors can be calculated using Equation C-53. F = Sc A Where: F = end load (lbs) Sc = combined stress (psi) A = area of pipe wall (in2) Knowing the combined stress and force generated in a system now allows the designer to make decisions on how to compensate for the thermal effects. By comparing the combined stress to the hoop stress of material allows a safety factor to be determined. EXAMPLE A PVDF carrier with a combined stress of 500 psi is compared to the hoop stress or allowable stress of PVDF, which is 1100 psi with all the appropriate safety (HDB = 2200 psi, S = HDB/2 = 1100 psi) factors: SF = 1100 psi/500 psi = 2.2:1 (C-53)
Determining Stress
This method is the same for all types of double containment expansion. First, calculate the stress that will be present in the system due to all operating systems. These include stresses due to thermal cycling and the stress due to internal pressure. Thermal stress can be calculated with Equation C-50. ST = E
(C-50)
Where: ST = thermal stress (psi) E = modulus of elasticity (psi) = coefficient of thermal expansion (in/in F) T = (Tmax Tinstall) ( F) See Section B on Materials for the values of modulus of elasticity and coefficient of thermal expansion for each material.
Therefore, if this system was fully restrained, it would have 2.2 to 1 safety factor. The factor assumes that the system will be properly anchored and guided to avoid pinpoint loads. If the value of the combined stress was 600 psi and the resulting safety factor is now below 2, the designer should/ may choose to compensate for the expansion using a flexible design.

Carrier Constant, Containment Expansion
Restraint Design In systems where the containment pipe will see thermal expansion and the inner pipe is constant, and where it has been determined that the pipe can safely be restrained, the installation is simplified. Since the outer pipe will be locked into position and the inner pipe does not want to expand, the design is based on the secondary pipe only. In these cases, only an outer wall anchor is required. However, since the pipe will most likely be joined using simultaneous butt fusion (where inner and outer welds are done at the same time), the restraint shoulder Dogbone is the logical choice for a restraint fitting.
Carrier Expansion, Containment Constant

Restraint Design If a system design is deemed safe to be restrained, proper design and layout must be engineered to ensure the system functions properly. First is the use of the Dogbone fitting, also known as a Force Transfer Coupling. In systems where thermal expansion is on the carrier pipe and the secondary piping is a constant temperature, the Dogbone fitting is used in order to anchor the inner pipe to the outer pipe. The Dogbone fitting is a patented design of Asahi /America making our system unique in its ability to be designed for thermal expansion effects. Dogbones are available in annular and solid design. Annular Dogbones allow for the flow of fluid in the containment piping to keep flowing, while solid Dogbones are used to stop flow in the containment pipe and compartmentalize a system. Figure C-16 depicts a Dogbone fitting.
Restrained Systems General

If restraining a system, proper layout design becomes critical. If fittings such as 90 elbows are not properly protected, the thermal end load could crush the fitting. It is important to remember that end load is independent of pipe length. The expansion in one foot of piping compared to the expansion in 100 feet of piping under the same operating conditions will generate the same force. A proper design will protect fittings using Dogbones and guides. Use guides to keep pipe straight and not allow the material to bow or warp on the pipe rack. In an underground system, the pipe will be naturally guided by use of trench and backfill. Use Dogbones to protect fittings at changes of direction or branches. It is important to note that Duo-Pro and Fluid-Lok systems use support discs on the end of pipe and fittings to ensure proper centering of the components. These support discs are designed to be centering guides and locks for fusion. The support disc is not an anchor fitting. Finally, ensure the proper hanging distances are used based on the actual operating temperature of the system. Figures C-18 and C-19 are illustrations of proper and improper design and installations to highlight the importance of proper hanging techniques.

The use of loops, offsets, or changes in direction is the same design method, accept in this case it is important that the carrier pipe does not restrict the growth of the containment piping. The methodology to avoid this from occurring is the same as in the previous section.

Figure C-24. Expansion layout The last step is to determine the size of the outer wall pipe. Since the loop has been designed to compensate for a maximum growth of 4.5 inches, it is known that the carrier pipe will grow into the loop 2.25 inches from both directions. See Figure C-25 for clarification.
Flexible System Final Considerations

In all double wall piping systems that require a flexible design, some similar installation and design practices apply. All flexible systems require staggered butt-fusion assembly. Since the inner and outer piping are expanding and contracting at different rates, the support disc that locks the two pipes together for simultaneous fusion cannot be used. For a flexible system, the inner weld must be conducted and then the outer weld. See Section F, Installation Practices, for staggered welding procedures. As in a single wall flexible system, it is important to control and direct the direction of the expansion. In hanging systems, the use of guides and anchors is critical to properly direct the growth. In buried systems, the spider clips provided within the pipe are used to guide the carrier pipe inside the containment. Dogbones are again used to anchor the pipe. From the location of the anchoring Dogbone, the direction of the expansion is known. These fittings are used at all points of required anchoring.

Since the carrier, the containment, and the ribs are all one homogenous component, the containment pipe will expand and contract at the same rate as the carrier pipe. Asahi /America has tested the effect of expanding the inner pipe and verified that the outer pipe will expand at the same rate with minimal stress to the rib support system. Therefore, a Poly-Flo system should be designed for thermal expansion in the same manner as a single wall piping system. For further understanding of thermal expansion, consult with the Asahi /America, Inc. Engineering Department to review any needs of a specific project. Figure C-27.

HANGING PRACTICES
ENGINEERING THEORY
HANGING PRACTICES
Hanging any thermoplastic system is not that much different than hanging a metal system. Typically the spacing between hangers is shorter, due to the flexibility of plastic. In addition, the type of hanger is important.
Hanging Distances
Hangers should be placed based on the spacing requirements provided in Appendix A. Since thermoplastic materials vary in strength and rigidness, it is important to select hanging distances based on the material you are hanging. Also, operating conditions must be considered. If the pipe is operated at a higher temperature, then the amount of hangers will be increased. Finally, if the system is exposed to thermal cycling, the placement of hangers, guides, and anchors is critical. In these cases, the hanger locations should be identified by the system engineer and laid out to allow for expansion and contraction of the pipe over its life of operation.

If a clamp will be used as an anchor and it will be exposed to high end loads, a more heavy duty clamp may be required, as well as a special anchoring setup. In these cases it is advised to either consult a mechanical engineer with experience in pipe stress analysis or receive detailed recommendations from the clamp manufacturer .
Hanger Types
When selecting hangers for a system, it is important to avoid using a hanger that will place a pinpoint load on the pipe when tightened. For example, a U-bolt hanger is not recommended for thermoplastic piping.

Thermoplastic clamps are also recommended over metal clamps, as they are less likely to scratch the pipe in the event of movement. If metal clamps are specified for the project, they should be inspected for rough edges that could damage the pipe. Ideally, if a metal clamp is being used, an elastomeric material should be used in between the pipe and the clamp. This is a must for PVDF and E-CTFE systems, which are less tolerant to scratching. Figure C-28a illustrates some recommended hanger types.

BURIAL PRACTICES (single wall)
ENGINEERING THEORY
BURIAL PRACTICES FOR SINGLE WALL PIPING

When designing for underground burial of thermoplastic piping, both static earth loads and live loads from traffic must be taken into account. The static load is the weight of the column of soil on the piping. The actual static load that the pipe is subjected to is dependent on many factors: the type of soil, the compaction of the soil, the width and detail of the trench, and the depth that the pipe is buried. The deeper the burial, the higher the load.
Burial of Single Wall Piping

Live loads decrease radially from the point at the surface from which they are applied. Live loads will have little effect on piping systems except at shallow depths. Polypropylene, polyethylene, and PVDF are flexible conduits. According to a basic rule of thumb, at least 2% deflection can be achieved without any structural damage or cracking. When analyzing a system for capability of withstanding earth and live loading, deflection under proposed conditions are compared to maximum allowable deflection (5% for PP and PE and 3% for PVDF) and the adequacy is thus judged.
Figure C-30. Example of underground installation The load coefficient, Cd, depends on the ratio of the height of the fill to the trench width and can be determined from the following equation. (1-e(-2K H/Bd)) 2K
Determination of Earth Loads

The method for determining earth loads of a flexible conduit is the Marston Theory of loads on underground conduits. From the theory, it is concluded that the load on a rigid conduit is greater than on a flexible conduit. To determine the earth load on a flexible conduit, the Marston equation for earth loads is used. The ratio of the load on a rigid conduit to the load on a flexible conduit is: Wc (rigid) Wc (flexible) Cd = (C-59)
Where: e = natural logarithm base K = Rankines ratio of lateral to vertical pressure = coefficient for friction between backfill material and sides of the trench From Equation C-59, a larger load can be expected at increasing widths. As trench width increases, this load increases at a decreasing rate until a value as prism load is attained. For most applications, this value can be calculated as follows: Wc = H w Bc (C-60)
Bd Bc
(C-57)
Wc = Cd w Bd Bc
(C-58)
Where: Wc= load on conduit, (lbs/linear ft) w = soil density, (lbs/ft3) Bc = horizontal width of conduit (ft) Bd = horizontal width at top of trench (ft) Cd = load coefficient
And prism load, expressed in terms of soil pressure, is as follows: P = Wc H Where: P = pressure due to soil weight at depth H (lbs/ft2) H = height of fill (ft) Prism loading is the maximum attainable load in a burial situation and represents a conservative design approach. Due to the fact that frost and water action in a soil may dissipate frictional forces of the trench, the long-term load may approach the prism load. Therefore, it is recommended that this load be considered when designing an underground thermoplastic piping system.
Therefore, the theory implies that a trench width twice the width of a conduit being buried will result in a load on a rigid conduit twice that of a flexible conduit. Figure C-30 displays the dimensions indicated in Equation C-57.

Simplified Method for Burial Design
To properly determine the feasibility of thermoplastic piping system in a buried application, follow the steps below. These steps will provide the proper design to resist static soil loads.
BURIAL PRACTICES (single wall)
If the maximum allowable is less than the actual load, changes will have to be made, such as burial depth, trench details, or pipe wall thickness. The allowable loads for Duo-Pro pipe are based on an allowable ring deflection of 5% for PP and HDPE and 3% for PVDF.
Step 1.
Determine the soil load exerted on the pipe in lbs/linear foot.
Live Load Designs

For applications where live loads are present, a general rule of thumb is to place the pipe 5 feet below the source of the live load. If piping is only being exposed to a live load in a short length, and cannot be placed 5 feet down, it may be advantageous to sleeve the pipe through a steel pipe or enclose it in concrete. In general, live loads should be added to static earth loads to determine the total load exerted on the pipe under site conditions. In Figure C-31, H20 highway loading, the effects of live load and static earth loads combined on a pipe can be viewed. In shallow depths, shallower than the 5-foot mark, the effect of traffic is significant and needs to be added to the static load to determine the effect. From the graph, it is demonstrated that at deeper depths the effect of a live load becomes a minimal effect. In all cases of static and live loads, consult Asahi /Americas Engineering Department for assistance on design.

The following information is required: Pipe Diameter: _____________________________________ Soil Type: _________________________________________ Trench Width: ______________________________________ Burial Depth: ______________________________________ With this data, use the Martson Soil Load Tables found in Appendix B to determine the actual load on the pipe. It is critical to pay particular attention to the trenching details. If proper trenching cannot be accomplished, values for the load should be determined using the prism load values, also found in Appendix B. Actual Soil Load: ______________________ per linear foot
Step 2.
Determine the E' Modulus of the soil. E' Modulus values are based on the soil type and the proctor (see Appendix B for table). If on-site conditions are not known, use a low value to be conservative. E' = _______________________________________________

In addition, safety factors can be calculated. Allowable loads are based on the pipe diameter, material, wall thickness, and E' Modulus. To determine the allowable loads, use the tables in Appendix A for Polypropylene, PVDF, and HDPE. Be sure to use the tables by wall thickness and material.

BURIAL PRACTICES FOR DOUBLE WALL PIPING

The procedure is the same as that of a single wall system. All calculations should be based on the outer wall, containment, pipe OD, and wall thickness. If leak detection cable is used on a buried double wall system, it is necessary to calculate the actual deflection and the resulting annular space to ensure the cable will have adequate clearance. See Figure C-32.

shifting, thereby preventing shearing and bending stresses on the piping. It is strongly suggested that an elastomeric material be used to prevent stress concentration loading on the piping caused by the reinforcing rod.
Trench PreparationGeneral
The recommended trench width for both single wall and double can be found by adding one foot to the width of the pipe to be buried. Larger trench widths can be tolerated, but trench widths greater than the diameter plus two feet typically produce large loads on the pipe. For small diameter pipes (4" and less), smaller trench widths are suggested. The important point to remember is the trench width at the top of the conduit is the dimension that determines the load on the pipe. Therefore, the sides of the trench can be sloped at an angle starting above this point to assist in minimizing soil loads in loose soil conditions (prior to compaction). If the trench widths described are exceeded, or if the pipe is installed in a compacted embankment, it is recommended that embedment should be compacted to 2.5" pipe diameters from the pipe on both sides. If this distance is less than the distance to the trench walls, then the embedment materials should be compacted all the way to the trench wall. When installing long lengths of piping underground, it may not be necessary to use elbows, as long as the minimum radius of bending for specific diameters and wall thicknesses are observed. If the soil is well compacted, thrust blocks are not required. However, if changes of directions are provided with tees or elbows, or if the soil is not well compacted, thrust blocks should be provided. The size and type of a thrust block is related to maximum system pressure, size of pipe, direction of change (vertical or horizontal), soil type, and type of fitting or bend. To determine thrust block area, it is suggested that a geotechnical engineer be consulted, and soil bearing tests be conducted if deemed necessary. If the bottom of the trench is below the water table, actions must be taken to adequately correct the situation. The use of well points or under-drains is suggested in this instance, at least until the pipe has been installed and backfilling has proceeded to the point at which flotation can no longer occur. The water in the trench should be pumped out, and the bottom of the trench stabilized with the use of suitable foundation material, compacted to the density of the bedding material. In a double containment system, annular spaces must be sealed to prevent water from getting into the space. For unstable trench bottoms, as in muddy or sandy soils, excavate to a depth 4 to 6 inches below trench bottom grade, backfill with a suitable foundation material, and compact to the density of the bedding material. Be sure to remove all rocks, boulders, or ledge within 6 inches in any direction from the pipe. At anchors, valves, flanges, etc., independent support should be provided by the use of a reinforcing concrete pad poured underneath the pipe equivalent to five times the length of the anchors, valves, or flanges. In addition, reinforcing rods should be provided to securely keep the appurtenance from
Laying of Pipe Line and Backfilling Procedure

Caution must be exercised so that the laying of straight lengths or piping prepared above ground do not exceed the minimum bending radius of the piping. For a given trench height, "h", the minimum length of piping necessary to overcome failure due to bending strain can be determined by the following procedure.
Step 1.
Determine trench height = h. This trench height will equate to the offset value A. A = 2Rb (sin Q)2 (C-62)

If the pipe is pulled along the ground surface, be sure to clear the area of any sharp objects. Some means to prevent scarring to minimize soil friction should be used. Since the allowable

Where: PF = maximum pulling force (Ibs) S = maximum allowable stress (psi) A = cross-sectional area of pipe wall (in2) SF = safety factor = 0.5 Since the soil will provide friction against a pipe that is being pulled on the ground, a length L will be achieved where the pipe can no longer be pulled without exceeding maximum allowable stress of the piping. This length can be estimated by: 2.3 SF S L= ( cos + sin ) Where: L = maximum pulling length (feet) S = maximum allowable stress (psi) SF= safety factor = 0.5 = coefficient of friction between the soil and pipe wall = gradient (ground slope) Muddy soil with a low coefficient of friction will allow for a longer length to be pulled.

Figure C-33. Example of underground installation The piping location should be accurately recorded at this point, and it may be a wise idea to place a conductive wire or shield in the vicinity in order to locate the piping at a later date by the use of an underground metal detector. This will ensure that piping can still be located if the installation plans are misplaced.
Offset Snaking Length
Offset
For small diameter pipes (21/2" and under), the pipe should be snaked, particularly if installed during the middle of a hot summer day. The recommendations for offset distance and snaking length should be observed, as outlined in this section, Thermal Expansion. It is suggested that the laying of the pipe into the trench on a summer day take place first thing in the morning to minimize thermal contraction effects. For larger diameter pipes with well compacted soil, friction should prevent pipe movement due to thermal expansion and minimize the need for snaking, although it is still recommended. The initial backfilling procedure should consist of filling in on the sides of the piping with soil free of rocks and debris. The filling should be compacted by hand with a tamping device, ensuring that the soil is forced under the pipe, and should continue until a level of compacted fill 6" to 12" above the top of the pipe is achieved. This process should be performed in gradual, consistent steps of approximately a 4" layer of fill at any one time to avoid the arching effect of the soil. When this procedure is accomplished, the final backfill can proceed. With a soil that is free of large rocks or other solids, the final fill can be accomplished.

Heat tracing of thermoplastic pipes differs considerably than that of metals. Some of the important contrasts include: poor thermal conductivity of the pipe material, upper-temperature limitations of the pipe material due to low melting ranges and combustibility features, high expansion and contraction characteristics and the resulting insulation restrictions, poor grounding qualities for electrical currents, and the typical harsh environmental consideration to which plastic piping is frequently exposed to. External steam tracing is strongly not recommended, due to the upper temperature limitations. However, there are two very reliable methods of providing freeze protection and/or temperature maintenance: external electrical heat tracing using self-regulating style electrical heaters, and the internal method of using a smaller diameter pipe that conveys a hot fluid to transfer heat to the fluid flowing in the annular space. Both methods require a slightly different design method, and also require their own unique fabrication techniques. When designing a system using either of these methods, it is suggested that the factory be contacted for technical advice pertaining to the particular situation. Manufacturers of heat tracing also now offer computer programs to determine the proper system for an application. Raychem offers the TraceCalc program for such applications.
Thermal Design
The heat loss calculations to determine the amount of heat that must be replaced by the heater are based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard 515-1983, Equation 1, with the following modification. Since the factor for pipe wall resistance cannot be neglected for plastics, a term for pipe wall resistance is also included. Pipe heat losses are shown at a variety of temperature differences and insulation thicknesses. Heat loss for Asahi /America piping can be found in Appendix A. The information is based on foamed elastomer insulation, according to ASTM C-534, located outdoors in a 20 mph wind, no-insulating air space assumed between insulation and outer cladding, and negligible resistance of the outer cladding; thereby, providing an additional margin of safety in the calculations. To determine heat loss through the insulated pipe, the following procedure should be used.

Step 1.
Determine applicable conditions such as type of piping, internal fluid, minimum expected temperature condition, desired maintenance temperature, outdoor or indoor condition (applicable wind velocity for outdoor condition), amount and type of insulation desired, etc.
Step 4.
If the desired type of insulation is not foamed elastomer, do not adjust the number found in the table by applying a design factor. Instead, Equation C-67 should be used to determine the heat loss. The resistance of the plastic pipe prevents the use of these quick insulation factors, unlike the situation experienced for metal piping where there is no pipe resistance to heat transfer.
Step 2.
Determine T by subtracting the minimum expected design temperature from the desired maintenance temperature.

For piping located indoors, multiply the values for Q (heat loss) found in the heat loss tables in Appendix A, by 0.9 to determine the corrected values.

External Self-Regulating Electrical Heat Tracing Design
Plastic piping melts at comparatively low temperatures with respect to that of metallic piping. If high enough temperatures are achieved, the external walls of a plastic pipe may become charred or burned causing damage to the external walls. Due to these features, the only recommended type of electrical heat tracer is the self-regulating type. A product with high reliability that is compatible with thermoplastic piping systems is Chemelex Auto-Trace heaters, manufactured by Raychem Corporation of Menlo Park, CA. By automatically varying heat output, Auto-Trace heaters compensate for installation and operating variables such as voltage fluctuations, installation, heat sinks, and ambient temperature changes, while continuing to provide necessary heat for system operation. Self-regulation works by the use of a unique heating element that is a specially blended combination of polymer and conductive carbon, creating electrical paths between the parallel bus wires at every point along the circuit. As it warms, the core expands microscopically, increasing resistance to electrical flow and causing the heater to reduce its power output. As the surrounding temperature cools the core, it contracts microscopically, decreasing resistance and increasing the heater output. In addition, the heat distribution along the pipe surface can be more evenly controlled as the heater will vary its power output in accordance with the state of the heater core. In cold spots, the core contracts microscopically creating many electrical paths through the conductive carbon. The flow of electricity through the core generates heat. In warmer sections, the core expands microscopically, disrupting many electrical paths. The increased electrical resistance causes the heater to reduce its power output. In hot sections, the microscopic core expansion disrupts almost all the electrical paths. With this high resistance to electrical flow, power output is virtually zero. Thus the heat distribution is very even, and hot spots along the temperature sensitive plastic pipe and insulation are avoided. Other features of self-regulating heaters include parallel circuitry for cut-to-length convenience at the job site, flexibility for easy field installation, and circuit length up to 1,000 feet (305 meters). In addition, reduced operating cost is achieved by balancing heat loss through efficient energy use, compensation for local temperature variation, and minimal maintenance due to long lasting reliability. Engineering design assistance is provided through Asahi /Americas Engineering Department on request. To design a system with electrical heat tracing, the following variables must be known: design temperature difference (T) found as shown in the thermal design section of this chapter in watts per linear foot of pipe, voltage, area classification, chemical environment, type and number of valves, flanges and supports, and total pipe length. Once these factors are known, the following procedure is used to design the electrical heat tracing for the piping system.
Step 1.
Select the appropriate family of heater based upon the maximum exposure temperature and the desired maintenance temperature.
Step 2.
Select an appropriate heater from the thermal output curves for that particular heater, so that the thermal output at the maintenance temperature equals or exceeds the heat loss. Since polypropylene, HDPE, and PVDF have much lower thermal conductivities than that of metals, the power output curves should be adjusted. It is suggested that a power output adjustment factor of between 0.5 to 0.75 be used to derate the stated power outputs at the design temperature of the pipe. This factor takes into account that T-180 aluminum tape be used over the heater. It is suggested the tape be used both over and under the heater to aid in heat transfer. Without any tape at all, a factor between 0.3 and 0.5 should be applied to the power to derate the stated power outputs.
Step 3.
Should the heat loss already calculated be greater than the power output of the selected heater: Use thicker insulation Use insulation with a lower thermal conductivity Use two or more parallel strips Spiral the heat tracing or Use product from the same family with higher thermal output rating
Step 4.
When spiralling of the heater is chosen as in Step 3 above because more than one foot of heater is required per foot of pipe, divide the pipe heat loss per foot by the heat output of the selected heater (at the desired maintenance temperature) to calculate the spiral factor. Use Table C-4 to determine the pitch. Refer to Figure C-44 for an illustration on how to measure pitch.
Step 5.
Determine the total length of the heater required by combining lengths from each component in the piping system. For the piping, calculate the amount of heater required for the pipe length. In the case of a straight heater run, this quantity is equal to the total length of piping. For each pair of bolted flanges, add a heater length equal to two times the pipe diameter. For each valve, add a heater length determined by multiplying the heat loss Q by the valve factor provided in Table C-5 and dividing by the heater output at the maintenance temperature.

Insulation
Insulation is a good method of protecting a pipe system from UV exposure, as well as providing required insulation for the system or media being transported. A serious difference between plastic and metal is plastics thermal properties. A metal pipe system will quickly take the temperature of the media being transported. A system carrying a media at 150 F will have an outer wall temperature close to or at 150 F. In contrast, thermoplastics have an inherent insulating property that maintains heat inside the pipe better than a metal system. The advantage is that a plastic pipe has better thermal properties, which translates into improved operating efficiencies and reduced insulation thickness. In a double contained plastic piping system, you have the benefit of the inherent insulation properties of the plastic plus the additional benefit of the air in the annular space between the carrier and containment pipes.
L h = length of heater (ft) Q = pipe and insulation loss (watts/linear foot hour) Fv = valve factor (see Table C-5) Tm = maintenance temperature (F)
For each pipe hanger, add a heater length equal to three times the pipe diameter.
Step 6.
In hazardous or classified areas, or in applications where a ground path must be provided, or in general harsh environments, select the optional heater coverings as follows: For dry and non-corrosive environments where a ground path is required, use the tinned copper shield covering. For limited exposure to aqueous inorganic chemicals, use the tinned copper shield with modified polyolefin outer jacket. (For BTVTM type heater only.) For limited exposure to organic or inorganic chemicals, use the tinned copper shield with the fluoropolymer outer jacket.

For Example: Heat loss for a 2" gate valve is 4.3 times the heat loss for one foot of pipe of the same size and insulation.
Step 7.
Select the heater voltage from either the 120 Vac or 240 Vac options. If the 240 Vac option is selected, but the available voltage differs from the product rating, the heater output must be adjusted by using appropriate factors. Consult the maker of the heat tracing for the appropriate factors.

APPLICATION AND SYSTEM DESIGN

HIGH-PURITY SYSTEM DESIGN
A pure water system comprised of PVDF or polypropylene is similar to most chemical feed systems. The critical factor in a pure system is to design it in a continuous moving loop without dead legs to avoid the possibility of microorganism growth. Systems should also be sized to have turbulent flow as part of the method of inhibiting bacteria growth. PVDF and PP systems are ideally suited for pure water as they have extremely smooth inner surfaces that reduce particle generation and inhibit sites for bacteria to adhere to and proliferate. In addition, PVDF and PP systems have low extractables, thus not contaminating the water being transported. See the Purad High Purity Guide for more data on material purity. In designing a thermoplastic high-purity water system, the following items need to be considered: Materials of Construction Operating Parameters System Sizing Thermal Expansion Minimize Dead Legs System Monitoring Other Considerations Hanging Welding Methods
leach into a water system for extended periods of time. PP is an extremely weldable material, making fusion joints simple and reliable. For more information on PP, consult Section B. The third alternative is E-CTFE. This material, also known as Halar, provides superior surface even compared to PVDF. Its extraction levels are also similar to that of PVDF. Halar is a very ductile material, making its use and welding methods extremely reliable. E-CTFE is normally available only in certain sizes and does have some pressure limitations at higher pressure. Halar has become the preferred material for tank lining applications.
Operating Parameters
Because thermoplastic systems have varying ratings at different temperatures, it is important to design a system around all the parameters to which it will be subjected. As a first pass, verify the following operating parameters: Continuous operating temperature Continuous operating pressure Media and concentration By knowing the above parameters, thermal plastic pipe systems can be selected. Compare the actual conditions to the allowable ratings of the material being selected for the job. It is important to predict elevated temperatures, as thermoplastics have reduced pressure ratings at higher temperatures. Valves should be verified in terms of temperature and pressure separately from a piping system, as certain styles and brands of valves have lower ratings than the pipe system. Finally, if the media is not water, a chemical compatibility check should be conducted with the manufacturer. See Section E, Chemical Resistance. After verifying the standard operating conditions, it is necessary to examine other operations that might affect the piping. The following is a sample of items to investigate prior to specifying a material. Will there be spikes in temperature or pressure? Is there a cleaning operation that the piping will be exposed to? If yes, what is the cleaning agent? What temperature will the cleaning be conducted at? Will the system be exposed to sunlight or other sources of UV? Each of the above questions should be answered and the desired material should be checked for suitability based on the above factors, as well as any others that might be special to the system in question.
Materials of Construction
PVDF is the premier material for high-purity water systems. PVDF has been used in ultra pure water systems for over 15 years because it is superior to materials such as stainless steel or PVC. PVDF combines excellent surface finish with low extractables to provide the highest quality piping material for the application. In addition to its purity attributes, PVDF is also available in a variety of components and welding methods that are well suited for UPW applications. PVDF is a crystalline material that can withstand high pressures. However, the nature of PVDF requires special planning and handling during the installation. These types of requirements are now commonplace on the market and are accepted as standard operating methods. For the strictest applications, requiring low bacteria counts and virtually undetectable levels of metal ions, PVDF is recommended for this service. For applications less stringent in water quality level, polypropylene is an excellent alternative. PP offers excellent surface smoothness, as well as low extractable levels as compared to stainless steel. Polypropylene systems are thermally fused together, eliminating the use of glues, which will continue to

Thermal Expansion
Typically, Purad and PolyPure systems are designed for ambient or cold DI water. In these cases, since the systems operate continuously and are normally inside a fairly constant temperature building, the need to compensate for thermal expansion is not required. Although, it is an important factor that should be reviewed on each and every installation design. Hot DI systems normally operating at temperatures of 65 C to 120 C, depending on the water usage, require a more complex design. PVDF systems can be used in hot water applications and applications where the temperature is cyclical. These systems require analysis of the thermal expansion effects. Section C walks through the steps of calculating thermal expansion, end loads, and expansion compensating devices. In most cases, the use of expansions, offsets, and proper hanging techniques are all that is required to ensure a proper design. Hot DI systems also reduce the rigidity of thermoplastic piping systems, which, in turn, decreases the support spacing between pipe hangers. In smaller dimensions, it is recommended to use continuous support made of some type channel or split plastic pipe. Finally, the use of hangers as guides and anchors becomes important. As the design procedures in Section C indicate, certain hangers should be used as guides to allow the pipe to move back and forth in-line, while other hangers should be anchoring locations used to direct the expansion into the compensating device. The anchors and hangers should be designed to withstand the end load generated by the thermal expansion.
System Sizing
It is well known that high-purity water systems are designed to operate in a continuously flowing loop to prevent stagnant water in the system. Stagnant water can proliferate the growth of bacteria and bio-film. The pattern and design of the loop will vary depending on the facility requirements. The flow rate in the system is important in determining the pipe diameter size. In a pure water system, elevating flow velocities is recommended to reduce the possibility of bio adhesion to the pipe wall or welded surfaces. Many specifications will state that the flow should be set at a minimum of 5 feet per second, which will always be turbulent flow at this velocity. However, a more sensible approach may be to review the Reynolds Number of the system to ensure the flow is turbulent (see Section C, Equation C-14, for the calculation). Use of the Reynolds Number may reduce waste oversizing of pumps to overcome excessive pressure drops due to unnecessarily high velocities. Since many HP systems are now produced from high-quality Purad PVDF, high velocities in a continuously flowing system may not be as necessary. High velocities are generally accomplished by undersizing the pipe diameter, which is directly proportional to increased pressure drops. In fact, high minimum velocities are detrimental to the ability of a system to deliver adequate point of use pressure during peak demand conditions.(1) Therefore, using cleaner, smoother material such as PVDF is desirable for design and operation.
Sizing Laterals
A pure water and an ultra pure water system will be made of main loop branches known as laterals. It is important in design to not dead end laterals and ensure there is always flow movement in the main and in the lateral. Systems are designed with different loop configurations to accommodate the needs of production. However, all laterals must be designed for continuous flow and should feed back unused water into the return line. For supply laterals feeding multiple tools, the lateral needs to be sized based on an acceptable pressure drop.(1) A general rule of thumb is 2 psig per 100 feet. Consideration of point of use water consumption, length, and frequency of demand must be factored into the sizing process of the lateral.
Minimize Dead Legs

The term dead leg refers to a stagnant zone of water in the system. Dead legs are normally formed in the branch of a tee that is closed off with a valve. See Figure D-1.
Flow
Dead Zone
Sizing Mains
Main trunk lines are sized using the demand for water by the tools plus the tool and return lateral minimum flows. Tool demand can be calculated by taking the average flow demand and multiplying it by 1.2 to 1.8 to accommodate for peak demand. This should be based on the tool manufacturers parameters.(1) Figure D-1. Dead legs due to poor design The return lines should be sized for minimal pressure drop when the tool demand is at a minimum, thus corresponding to maximum bypass at the end of a main pressure control station(1).

A rule of thumb in designing a system is to keep all dead legs to a maximum of 6 internal pipe diameters in length. The turbulent flow in the main trunk line will create a significant amount of movement to keep the leg moving and prevent bacteria from adhering to the pipe wall. However, the Purad system allows designers to avoid dead legs altogether with the advent of T-diaphragm valves and zero dead leg fittings. T-valves (see Figure D-2) take the place of a tee, reducer, and diaphragm valve by combining all three into one component. T-valves reduce the quantity of welds in a system as well. By using a T-valve, branch lines can be shut off at any time without creating a dead leg and turned back on without an extensive flush procedure.
Since these tee configurations are narrow in diameter, they create a dead leg in the branch where microorganism growth can be initiated. The use of instrumentation fittings eliminate dead legs while being a safe adapter for gauges or sample valves. See Figure D-4.

Diaphragm T-Valve
Figure D-4. Proper use of instrument fitting to avoid dead space. Can be used with gauge guard. The insert of a resistivity probe can also be a possible source for dead legs. Since most probe manufacturers recommend that fluid flows directly at the probe, they are often situated in the leg of a tee and the tee acts as a 90 elbow. Since most probes are supplied as a 3/4" NPT fitting or sanitary adapter, there is the necessity to weld reducers onto the tee leg to accommodate the sensor, which will create dead zone. A simple fitting, the probe adapter, conveniently eliminates the need for reducers and shortens the leg of the tee. See Figure D-5. Probe adapters are available in all sizes and pressure ratings.

Figure D-2. T-valve eliminates dead leg Dead legs in a system can be found in more than just branch lines. Often, the introduction of a gauge, measurement device, and /or sampling valve can create a dead leg. Since it is not recommended to tap into the side of a PVDF pipe for safety reasons, gauges are installed using tees and caps as shown in Figure D-3.

System Monitoring
In the proper design of an ultra pure water system, it is important to monitor the quality of the water, temperature, pressure, and the flow rate. All devices should be picked on the following criteria: Accuracy of indication Repeatability No moving parts Clean Devices in contact with the water should be thermoplastic Ease of use In regard to monitoring flow, it is important to use devices that do not have moving parts to determine the flow rate. All thermoplastic construction is ideal to exactly match that of the pipe. An ideal flow measurement device is the vortex meter. A vortex meter from Asahi /America will provide accurate, repeatable flow without any moving parts. The features translate into the benefit of clean operating design and long lifetime. With no moving parts, no particles will be generated and there are no parts to wear out. In addition, vortex meters are simple to install and wire up. With all thermoplastic components, the device is unobtrusive to the process and provides years of reliable, clean operation.

Other Considerations
Ultraviolet
All plastics react differently to UV exposure. Section C defines the effects on PVDF, PP, and E-CTFE materials. In addition to the external exposure of UV lights, it is also common for UV sterilizing lamps to be used to control bacteria levels in a water system. These lamps give off high intensity light to break up living bacteria in water. Depending on the wave length of the lamp, trace amounts of ozone can be generated from these lamps. The combination of the intense UV and ozone can create stress cracking in piping components directly in contact with the light source. To avoid a possible problem, build a light trap from stainless steel (SS) components. The use of SS diaphragm valves or a couple of changes in direction will eliminate the concern altogether. Figure D-8 illustrates an efficient light trap.

Ozone
Figure D-6. Vortex meter Vortex meters operate on the vortex principal. A bluff in the flow body causes a slight pressure drop behind it as the flow passes by. The water turns inward into the pressure differential causing the formation of small eddies or whirlpools. The vortices, as they are called, alternate from one side to the other in direct proportion to the flow. The frequency is calculated to flow and is transmitted as a 420 mA signal or a digital pulse, depending on customer preference. The use of ozone for system sterilization has proven itself as the preferred industry method. Dosing a PVDF or E-CTFE system with ozone for sterilization purposes is acceptable and does not damage the material. The exact concentration and period of ozonation should be verified with the pipe supplier. Using ozone in polypropylene systems is not recommended. Ozone has a tendency to breakdown PP at an alarming rate. For these systems an alternate chemical, such as hydrogen peroxide, should be used. The piping manufacturer should verify the peroxide concentration and period of exposure to the polypropylene system.

Hanging
See Section C for hanging details and proper placement distances. Since plastic reacts differently than metal, varying hanger styles are required. The designer of a system should specify the exact hanger and location and not leave this portion up to the installer.
Heater Pipe Pipe
Welding Methods
Asahi /America offers several choices for joining PVDF and PP together. The choice of a particular method should be based on the following concerns: purity of the system installation, location, size range, and system complexity.
Start of Heating Molten End Molten End
While the welding method is instrumental in the purity of a water system, the choice of a welding method is not the final factor. The environment where welding occurs may be more important than the actual welding method. Asahi /America recommends the welding method be based on the type of installation, rather than the desire to have the most advanced equipment on site. PVDF can be installed using butt fusion, IR fusion, socket fusion, and beadless HPF fusion. All methods are proven in DI water systems, and each has its own advantages. Polypropylene is weldable using butt, IR or socket fusion. In addition, Asahi /America offers electro-fusion couplings for PP that are ideal for repairs. E-CTFE can be welded using butt or IR fusion. It is recommended to assemble Halar with IR fusion, as special heating elements are required for welding Halar with conventional butt-fusion equipment. Socket fusion is ideal for small, simple, low cost systems. In small diameters, 1/2"11/4" socket fusion can be done quite easily with a hand-held welding plate and a few inserts. With just a limited amount of practice, an installer can make clean and reliable joints. For larger dimensions, up to a maximum of 4", bench style socket fusion equipment is available for keeping joints aligned. For systems that have larger dimensions above 4", butt and IR fusion make a logical choice. Both systems are available for welding all dimensions from 1/2" to 10". IR fusion has several advantages; during the welding process the material is not in contact with the heat source, thus eliminating a source of contamination. In the course of an IR weld, there is no force against the heating element like in butt fusion, therefore the weld beads are smaller when making an IR weld. In a flowing system, an IR bead will flush cleaner, due to its round, smoother shape as compared to a butt weld. See Figure D-9.
Heat Soak Time
Joining and Cooling
Figure D-9. IR fusion welding process IR fusion has become the standard welding choice within the semiconductor industry for the above reasons. IR fusion is neat, clean, and reliable. Current day welding equipment is computer controlled, making each weld identical, and inspection processes more reliable. IR fusion equipment also allows for complete traceability of each weld, by each operator. IR fusion is suited for cleanroom environments and bench top type welding. Equipment is highly sophisticated, making field or location welds difficult. Butt fusion is similar in practice to IR fusion; however the components to be welded are in contact with the heat source. Butt fusion is the parent of IR fusion and still maintains its one advantage; it can be done in a variety of environments. Wind or a strong breeze can make IR welding troublesome. In these cases butt fusion is preferred. If welds are made outside or in a windy area, butt fusion should be used. Field welds in place can also be accomplished with butt fusion. A variety of different types of butt-fusion equipment are available, making location welds possible, where an IR fusion would not be recommended. For a more detailed analysis of welding methods and equipment, refer to Section F, Installation Practices.

SINGLE WALL CHEMICAL PIPE

Each of the these questions should be answered and the desired material should be checked for suitability based on these factors, as well as any others that might be special to the system in question. Finally, in addition to verifying the temperature, pressure, and media with the thermoplastic pipe material, it is also necessary to verify other components in the system, such as valves, gaskets, valve seat and seals, etc. These should be examined in the same manner as the pipe material.
SINGLE WALL CHEMICAL PIPE SYSTEM DESIGN

When properly designing a single wall pipe system for the transport of chemicals, several factors need to be reviewed. A properly designed thermoplastic system will provide years of reliable service without the headaches of corrosion problems. At the time of design, consider and plan for the following items: Materials of Construction Thermal Expansion System Sizing UV Considerations Insulation Hanging Welding Methods
Thermal Expansion
Based on your operating criteria, thermal expansion must be considered. For systems maintained at consistent temperatures, compensation for thermal effects may not be required. It is, however, important to review all aspects such as the operating environment. Is it outdoors where it will be exposed to changing weather? Is the system spiked with a high temperature cleaning solution? Will the system run at a significantly higher temperature than the installation temperature? The occurrence of any thermal change in a plastic system will cause the material to expand or contract. As an example of the effect, polypropylene will grow roughly one inch for every 100 linear feet and 10 T. Thermoplastic systems can be used in hot applications and applications where the temperature is cyclical; it just requires analysis of the thermal expansion effects. Section C walks through the steps of calculating thermal expansion, end loads, and expansion compensating devices. In most cases, the use of expansions, offsets, and proper hanging techniques are all that is required to ensure a proper design. Hot systems also reduce the rigidity of thermoplastic piping, which, in turn, decreases the support spacing between pipe hangers. In smaller dimensions, it is recommended to use continuous support made of some type channel or split plastic pipe. Finally, the use of hangers as guides and anchors becomes important. As the design procedures in Section C indicates, certain hangers should be used as guides to allow the pipe to move back and forth in-line, while other hangers should be anchoring locations used to direct the expansion into the compensating device. The anchors and hangers should be designed to withstand the end load generated by the thermal expansion. Figure D-10 is an example of an anchor type restraint fitting that is available from Asahi /America, Inc.
The first and foremost item in any system design (metal or thermoplastic) is the media that will be running through the pipes and parameters of operation. Using accurate data for the system design will transfer to years of reliable operation. When considering the system design, answer the following questions: What is the chemical(s) to be in contact with the system? What are the chemical concentrations? What temperature will the system operate at? What pressure will the system operate at? What is the flow of the media in the system? By answering these questions, the proper material of construction can be selected for the project. To assist in the material selection, refer to the chemical resistance tables in Section E, Chemical Resistance. A thermoplastic systems ratings for temperature and pressure are based on water. The addition of certain chemicals will add stress to the system and may reduce the recommended operating parameters. For less aggressive chemicals, the use of printed resistance tables in Section E is perfectly suitable. For more aggressive chemicals or mixtures of chemicals, the manufacturer of the pipe system should be consulted. After verifying the standard operating conditions, it is necessary to examine other operations that might affect the piping. The following is a sample of items to investigate prior to specifying a material. Will there be spikes in temperature or pressure? Is there a cleaning operation that the piping will be exposed to? If yes, what is the cleaning agent? What temperature will the cleaning be conducted at? Will the system be exposed to sunlight or other sources of UV?

Insulation
Insulation is a good method of protecting a pipe system from UV exposure, as well as providing required insulation for the system or media being transported. A serious difference between plastic and metal is plastics thermal properties. A metal pipe system will quickly take the temperature of the media being transported. A system carrying a media at 150 F will have an outer wall temperature close to or at 150 F. In contrast, thermoplastics have an inherent insulating property that maintains heat inside the pipe better than a metal system. The advantage is that a plastic pipe has better thermal properties, which translates into improved operating efficiencies and reduced insulation thickness.
Figure D-10. Restraint fitting For calculation of allowed stresses and design of expansion compensation devices, refer to Section C, Engineering Theory and Design Considerations.
System Sizing
In Section C, there is a detailed discussion on fluid dynamics and determination of flow rates and pressure drops. When using any thermoplastic with a hazardous chemical, it is recommended to maintain flow rates below a velocity of 5 ft/second. High velocities can lead to water hammer in the event of an air pocket in the system. Water hammer can generate excessive pressures that can damage a system. For safety reasons, high velocities should be avoided. In addition, high velocities also mean added pressure drop, which, in turn, increases demand on the pump. If the flow velocity is not required, it is recommended to size a system with minimal pressure drop. It is also recommended to oversize a design to allow for future expansion or chemical demand. Once a system is in place, it is difficult to add capacity to it.
Hanging
See Section C for hanging details and proper placement distances. Since plastic reacts differently than metal, varying hanger styles are required. The designer of a system should specify the exact hanger and location and not leave this portion up to the installer.
Welding Methods
The system designer should specify the welding method to be used in any given project. Asahi/America offers several choices for joining PVDF and PP together. The choice of a particular method should be based on the following concerns: Installation location Size range System complexity PVDF can be installed using butt fusion, IR fusion, socket fusion, and beadless HPF fusion. All methods are proven in chemical systems and each has its own advantages. Polypropylene is weldable using butt, IR, or socket fusion. In addition, Asahi /America offers electro-fusion couplings for PP that are ideal for repairs. (Electro-fusion PP couplings may have reduced chemical resistance. Consult factory.) E-CTFE can be welded using butt or IR fusion. It is recommended to assemble Halar with IR fusion, as special heating elements are required for welding Halar with conventional butt-fusion equipment. Socket fusion is ideal for small, simple, low cost systems. In small diameters, 1/2"11/4" socket fusion can be done quite easily with a hand-held welding plate and a few inserts. With just a limited amount of practice, an installer can make safe and reliable joints. For larger dimensions, up to a maximum of 4", bench style socket fusion equipment is available for keeping joints aligned. For systems that have larger dimensions above 4", butt and IR fusion make a logical choice. Butt fusion is available in every pipe size made available by Asahi /America. Welding can take place in a variety of climates and conditions. In addition, butt fusion offers the widest variety of welding equipment options. Tools are available for bench welding, trench welding, and
UV Considerations
All thermoplastic materials react to the exposure of UV differently. PVDF and E-CTFE materials are almost completely UV resistant over the course of its design life. However, certain chemicals containing Cl anions exposed to UV light can create a free radical Cl, which will attack the PVDF pipe wall. For more information on these chemicals, refer to UV Exposure and Weatherability later in this section. Polypropylene is not UV stable. In direct exposure to sunlight it will break down. The effect can be seen in a noticeable color change in the pipe. In a pigmented PP system, the color change will actually create a protective shield on the outer layer of the pipe and prevent further degradation. For PP pipes with a wall thickness greater than 0.25", the effect of UV is reduced and can be used outside. However, it is still recommended to protect it from UV exposure for added safety. Natural PP will not self create a UV shield as the pigment PP does; therefore, UV protection is required all the time on natural PP systems. Other materials, such as HDPE, may or may not be UV stabilized. PE containing carbon black are generally UV stable and can handle direct exposure. Other HDPE materials may require protection. Use of protection should be based on the individual grade of the polyethylene. Consult the manufacturer for details.

welding in the rack, making it completely versatile for almost all applications. Refer to Section F for guidance in tool selection. IR fusion is available for welding 1/2" to 10". IR is an extension of the butt-fusion method. The operation is the same with the exception that material being joined is not in contact with the heat source. Rather, the material is brought in close to the heating element and the heat radiates off to the components. The advantage of this method for chemical systems is the elimination of molten material sticking to the heat source. IR fusion is better suited for indoor applications. IR fusion equipment is highly sophisticated, providing the operator with detailed information on the weld process and quality. For critical applications with dangerous media, IR fusion may be best suited due to the quality assurance built into each piece of equipment. For a more detailed analysis of welding methods and equipment, refer to Section F, Installation Practices.

DOUBLE WALL SYSTEM DESIGN
Double containment piping systems are one of the most economical and reliable methods for protecting against primary piping leaks of corrosive or hazardous fluids. The Duo-Pro and Fluid-Lok systems offered by Asahi /America are the original and flagship products of the industry. When designed and applied correctly, the system can be expected to have a long service life often exceeding 50 years. Double contained systems constructed from thermoplastic materials offer significant cost savings and superior chemical resistance over their metal counterparts. A combination of government regulations, increased concern over environmental and personal safety, and a growing fear of litigation has hastened the development and improvement of double contained piping components into highly engineered systems. With over 15 years of experience in thermoplastic double containment piping, no other company can match Asahi /Americas experience and quality. Use this guide to assist in the design and layout of a double wall pipe system for multiple applications. This guide highlights the areas of consideration that an engineer should take when designing a system. This section should be used in conjunction with Section C, Engineering Theory and Design Considerations, to achieve a proper design. Cost, reliability, and ease of installation can all be improved by careful planning in the conceptual and design phase of any piping project. Specific to double containment systems, the following items must be given careful consideration: When to Use Double Containment Piping Materials of Construction System Selection System Sizing Specialty Fittings Double Contained Valves Thermal Expansion (particularly important in thermoplastic systems) Hanging Burial Welding Methods UV Exposure and Weatherability Leak detection is an important part of double containment systems. Leak detection of some sort is required on all underground double containment systems. The type of leak detection, the installation method, and the system set up are very different from system to system. For this reason, leak detection will be discussed in the next section separately.

Underground EPA Requirements The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has adopted regulations on underground storage tanks (USTs) and related piping. The EPA states these systems pose threats to the environment. EPA regulation 40 CFR 280 spells out the minimum requirements for USTs that contain petroleum or hazardous chemicals. A summary of the EPAs requirements that affect doublecontainment piping follows. This is a brief overview. A project engineer needs a thorough understanding of the regulations prior to designing a system. EPAs Regulations Cover Media: All chemicals listed under Subtitle 1 of 40 CFR 280. Systems: All USTs and related piping. System requirements: All USTs and pipes must be installed so that a release from the product pipe is contained or diverted to a proper collection system. Containment may be done via a trench, dike, or double containment pipe and tanks. The containment materials must be able to hold the leaking product for a minimum of 30 days. By then, scheduled inspections and periodic monitoring should identify the failure and correct the situation. Leak detection: Drainage and suction lines require monthly manual inspections for product line leaks. Pressurized systems require automatic monitoring for product failure. In case of a leak, the system must automatically restrict flow of the product. Compliance dates: The EPA has set requirements for the date of compliance for both new and existing systems. Contact Asahi /America for the latest standard, or visit the EPAs website at www.epa.org. Above ground: In addition to the EPA requirements for below grade systems, many companies have adopted policies for overhead piping to protect personnel from a possible leak of a harmful chemical.
The majority of double containment systems installed worldwide are thermoplastic due to the ease of joining and chemical resistance to hazardous media, as well as underground moisture. Asahi /America offers several materials to handle a wide range of applications. Materials include: Polypropylene PVDF E-CTFE: Halar HDPE: High Density Polyethylene

These include: Static and live burial loading Leak detection requirements Hanging requirements for above-ground applications Physical space constraints Manufacturability and availability Operating pressure When a double contained system is buried, the containment pipe bears the static soil load and the dynamic loading imposed by traffic, equipment, etc. Section C provides a detailed discussion for calculating static and dynamic loading to determine required wall thickness. Leak detection requirements must also be considered. Depending on the type of leak detection chosen, there may be minimum requirements for the amount of annular space necessary for successful installation and operation. As a general rule of thumb, a minimum of 3/4 inches annular space is required for installation of a continuous cable system. Leak detection options are discussed in detail later in this section. Hanging requirements and physical space constraints are also important considerations. Often, trenches or pipe racks are crowded with other systems, so the containment must not be too large. Hanging criteria including support, restraint, and guide spacing are discussed in Section C. The designer of a system should specify the exact hanger location and not leave this portion up to the installer. Manufacturability and availability can also influence the selection of containment pipe. There must be adequate clearance between the carrier and containment to facilitate efficient manufacturing. This is especially important for the manufacture of fittings. Asahi /America has spent several years improving fabrication techniques to offer the widest variety of sizes in the marketplace. The designer should also be careful to design with standard pipe sizes to avoid costly delays due to lack of availability. Operating pressure parameters may be quite different for the containment pipe than for the carrier. Often, systems are designed so that any leaks into the annular space drain directly into a manhole or sump. In these open-ended systems, it is virtually impossible to build up significant pressure. As a matter of economy, the containment pipe often has a lower pressure rating and thus a higher dimensional ratio than the carrier pipe. The final consideration when choosing the containment pipe is the environment in which it will be installed. Outer UV exposure is not ideal for polypropylene systems and protection of the pipe may be required. If surrounding temperatures are extremely low, then certain materials will become brittle in the cold. Consult Asahi /America for specific recommendations in these cases.
The carrier pipe (the inner pipe also known as the product pipe) material is selected based on common piping practices using variables such as: What is the chemical(s) to be in contact with the system? What are the chemical(s) concentrations? What temperature will the system operate at? What pressure will the system operate at? What is the flow of the media in the system? By answering these questions, the proper materials of construction for the carrier can be selected for the project. To assist in the material selection, refer to the chemical resistance table in Section E, Chemical Resistance. A thermoplastic system's ratings for temperature and pressure are based on water. The addition of certain chemicals will add stress to the system and may reduce the recommended operating parameters. For less aggressive chemicals, the use of printed resistance tables is perfectly suitable. For more aggressive chemicals or mixtures of chemicals, the manufacturer of the pipe system should be consulted. After verifying the standard operating conditions, it is necessary to examine other operations that might affect the piping. The following is a sample of items to investigate prior to specifying a material. Will there be spikes in temperature or pressure? Is there a cleaning operation that the piping will be exposed to? If yes, what is the cleaning agent? What temperature will the cleaning be conducted at? Will the system be exposed to sunlight or other sources of UV? Each of the above questions should be answered and the desired material should be checked for suitability based on the above factors, as well as any others that might be special to the system in question. Finally, in addition to verifying the temperature, pressure, and media with the thermoplastic pipe material, it is also necessary to verify other components in the system, such as valves, gaskets, valve seat and seals, etc. These should be examined in the same manner as the pipe material. Once the product pipe has been selected, the containment pipe must be selected. In most cases, the containment pipe is the same as the carrier pipe, such as in polypropylene and HDPE systems. Using the same material internally and externally yields many time-saving advantages on a project. However, in many systems where the product pipe required is a more expensive material, such as PVDF or E-CTFE, a polypropylene outer shell is often used. Sizing the containment pipe requires consideration of many factors that are different than those used to size the carrier.

System Selection
As stated in the previous section, the material must be selected based on the media to run through the system, as well as the operating conditions such as pressure, temperature, and media concentration. In a double containment system, the selection of pipe and associate pipe pressure ratings can be complex, as any combination of material can be used. Table D-1 lists possible pipe ratings that can be used for both the inner and outer pipe wall. Table D-1. Pressure Ratings and SDR Values

In addition to all the choices in material, Asahi /America offers three systems for double containment piping. Duo-Pro Poly-Flo Fluid-Lok Each system has its ideal purposes and advantages. A description of the three systems follows. Figure D-12. Duo-Pro piping system
Duo-Pro
The Duo-Pro system is the flagship of the Asahi /America double containment piping system offerings. Duo-Pro is available in polypropylene, PVDF, and E-CTFE, and in any combination of the three. Duo-Pro is available in systems ranging from 1"x 3" to 18"x 24". In addition, larger systems have been made available on request. Duo-Pro is a fabricated system made from extruded pipe and primarily molded fittings. It has a complete range of molded pressure fittings that are fabricated at the factory into double containment fittings. In addition, Duo-Pro is ideal for drainage applications, having a complete compliment of fittings for drainage applications. It can be assembled using simultaneous butt fusion or staggered butt fusion. The Duo-Pro system is assembled using a support disc on each end of a pipe or fitting. The support disc centers the carrier inside the containment and locks the two pipes together for simultaneous fusion. On pipe runs, the spider clip fitting is used to support the pipe inside the containment piping. Spider clips are spaced based on hanging criteria by size and material and are designed to avoid point loading of the pipes.
Poly-Flo
The Poly-Flo system is a unique dual extruded and molded system. In all other double containment pipe systems, the inner and outer components are made separately and then assembled into a double wall configuration. This adds time and labor to each project. The Poly-Flo system produces both the inner and outer piping at the same time. Asahi /Americas patented extrusion process locks the pipe together by use of continuous support ribs. In addition, most fittings in the system are molded as one piece components. The only deviation is HDPE material, where many fittings are fabricated from double wall pipe. Poly-Flo is available in 1"x 2", 2"x 3", and 4"x 6". (Consult Asahi /America for the availability of 6"x 8".) Poly-Flo is available in three materials: black polypropylene (UV stabilized), PVDF, and HDPE. It is a unique system, where the carrier pipe has an OD consistent with IPS pipe, while the outer pipe is a jacket not corresponding to an IPS dimension. Poly-Flo is assembled using simultaneous butt fusion only. The system is available with manual and low point leak detection sensors only. The use of leak detection cable is not possible due to the limited annular space.

Question/Answer
Q: Are you operating under pressure or drainage? A: Pressure systems may need to have consistent pressure rating fittings on both the carrier and containment pipe. DWV fittings are not allowed in pressure systems.
Q: Do you require consistent pressure ratings on the carrier and containment? A: If not, cost can be saved by using 150 psi carrier piping and 45 psi containment piping.
Q: What material are you using? A: Figure D-13. Poly-Flo piping system Q: Material requirements may determine the system you can choose. Do you require continuous cable leak detection? Only the Duo-Pro and Fluid-Lok systems can accommodate cable systems.
Fluid-Lok
The Fluid-Lok system is an all HDPE system. It is manufactured in a similar process to the Duo-Pro system. Fluid-Lok is available in many sizes ranging from 1"x 3" to systems as large as 36"x 42". Besides being an all HDPE system, Fluid-Lok is different than Duo-Pro in that most fittings are fabricated and not molded. Fabricated fittings are ideal for the application of long sweep 90's and 45's, often required in these systems. Fluid-Lok is designed to accommodate leak detection low point sensors or cable. In addition, HDPE manholes are available and can be directly welded to the pipe system to avoid unnecessary fittings and provide more consistency and leak protection.

System Sizing
In Section C, Engineering Theory and Design Considerations, there is a detailed discussion on fluid dynamics and determination of flow rates and pressure drops. It is recommended when using any thermoplastic with a hazardous chemical to maintain flow rates below a velocity of 5 ft /second. High velocities can lead to water hammer in the event of an air pocket in the system. Water hammer can generate excessive pressures that can damage a system. For safety reasons, high velocities should be avoided. In addition, high velocities also mean added pressure drop, which, in turn, increases demand on the pump. If the flow velocity is not required, it is recommended to size a system with

minimal pressure drop. It is also recommended to oversize a design to allow for future expansion or chemical demand. Once a system is in place, it is difficult to add capacity to it.
Dogbone fittings are available in the Duo-Pro and Fluid-Lok system. The Poly-Flo system does not require the fitting, as the pipe is continuously supported and locked together. Finally, the Dogbone can be used for connecting in low point leak detectors, ventilation, and drainage. When designing a double wall system, it is important to incorporate high point vents to eliminate air from the system. In addition, in the event of a leak, a drainage method for the containment pipe is required. Connection methods for these valve requirements are shown in Figures D-17 through D-20.
Specialty Fittings
Double containment systems, for the most part, can be thought of in the same manner as single wall piping systems with a few exceptions. In a double wall system, the issue of thermal expansion is more complicated (see next page), welding is similar but not the same, and finally, the outer containment pipe must have a start and stop. The major fitting that sets Asahi /America systems apart from all other double wall systems is the patented Dogbone force transfer fitting. The Dogbone fitting can be used in many ways to assist in the design of a proper double containment piping system. The Dogbone is used for: Locking the inner and outer pipes together Compartmentalizing pipe section Termination of the containment pipe Sensor installation Control of thermal expansion Figures D-15 through D-18 depict a few uses of the Dogbone.

Double Contained Valves

In pressurized systems, the necessity of valves can be accomplished without interrupting the integrity of the double containment system. Double contained valves are available in many shapes and forms. Double contained valves are available in any style valve such as ball, butterfly, diaphragm, check, and gate. The valve selected, based on the application, determines the shape of the outer containment. The following figures demonstrate a few valve configurations that are available from Asahi /America, Inc. Other options are readily available on request.
Containment Box
Figure D-23. Double contained diaphragm valve with stem extension: Poly-Flo system More than valves can be installed. Items such as flow meters, and temperature and pressure monitors can also be incorporated into the internal containment portion of the system. Contact Asahi /Americas Engineering Department to discuss your particular needs. It is important to specify and design in the need to access valves for maintenance purposes.
Thermal Expansion
Based on your operating criteria, thermal expansion must be considered. For systems maintained at consistent temperatures, compensation for thermal effects may not be required. In a double contained piping system, three types of expansion can occur: Carrier pipe exposed to thermal changes, while containment remains constant. Typically possible when carrier pipe is exposed to liquids of various temperature, while outer containment is in a constant environment such as in buried applications. Containment piping experiences thermal changes, while carrier remains constant. Typical application is outdoor pipe racking with constant temperature media being transported in carrier. Both inner and outer experience temperature changes. The Dogbone fitting is a proven and effective way to control thermal expansion where a restrained system is acceptable. It can also be used to direct the growth of a flexible system. For systems maintained at consistent temperatures, compensation for thermal effects may not be required. It is, however, impor-

tant to review all aspects of the operating environment such as: Is it outdoors where it will be exposed to changing weather? Is the system spiked with a high temperature cleaning solution? Will the system run at a significantly higher or lower temperature than the installation temperature? The occurrence of any thermal change in a plastic system will cause the material to expand or contract. Thermoplastic systems can be used in hot applications and applications where the temperature is cyclical; it just requires analysis of the thermal expansion effects. Section C, Engineering Theory and Design Considerations, walks through the steps of calculating thermal expansion, end loads, and expansion compensating devices. In most cases, the use of expansions, offsets, and proper hanging techniques are all that is required to ensure a proper design. Hot systems also reduce the rigidity of thermoplastic piping, which, in turn, decreases the support spacing between hangers. In smaller dimensions, it is recommended to use continuous supports made of some type of channel or split plastic pipe. Finally, the use of hangers as guides and anchors becomes important. As the design procedures in Section C indicates, certain hangers should be used as guides to allow the pipe to move in-line, while other hangers should be anchoring locations used to direct the expansion into the compensating device. The anchors and hangers should be designed to withstand the thermal end load. In a buried system, the standard Dogbone fitting will lock the inner and outer pipe together. The surrounding ground and fill should eliminate the movement of the outer pipe. In systems that are hung, the outer pipe hanger must withstand the thermal end load. To properly hang these systems, a special Restraint Dogbone is recommended at the hanger locations.
Hanging
See Appendix A for proper hanging distances by size and material. As in any thermoplastic system, the selection of hangers is an important decision. Hangers that scratch or create point loads on the pipe are not recommended. The ideal hanger is a thermoplastic component. In many cases an all plastic hanger may not be available. In these cases a metal hanger is acceptable, but precautions should be taken. Any sharp edges on the hanger should be removed. A cushion made of rubber is recommended in the event that the pipe shifts, thus preventing scratching. Section C provides detailed recommendations on hanging double containment pipe. Please consult this section prior to specifying the hangers.
Burial
Due to EPA requirements, burial of double containment piping is a common practice. In most cases, the burial of double wall pipe is the same as that of a single wall pipe system. Careful consideration of the soil type, compaction, trench detailing, back fill, load, etc. are necessary to consider in the proper design. Section C, Engineering Theory and Design Considerations, provides a step-by-step detailed process of how to properly bury the system. Live loads also pose the added complication when burying a system. It is important to look at the possibility of the pipe system being driven over, as well as the type of vehicle that would be creating the live load. In the design it is imperative to call out the recommendations of the burial in the details of the drawing set. By calling these details out, the contractor will be in a better position to properly install the pipe as required.
Welding Methods
All double containment systems offered by Asahi /America, Inc. are available for butt-fusion assembly. Butt fusion provides reliable fusion, but is also ideally suited for the double wall system. By properly aligning the carrier and containment piping with the support disc, both the inner and outer pipe can be welded at the same time. This reduces the assembly time, as well as the need for extra fittings such as couplings. What can be accomplished in one weld can take up to 4 welds in other systems (weld the inner and outer separately on either side of a coupling). When building a system that is made of dissimilar materials (example: PVDF x Pro 45), the pipes cannot be welded simultaneously due to different heat and joining force requirements. For these systems staggered welding is required, where the inner pipe is welded first and the outer pipe welded second using a special annular heating element. Staggered fusion does take more time due to the extra welds, but still proves econom-

ical when compared to using like materials such as PVDF on both the carrier and containment pipe depending on pipe size, project requirements, and installation environment. See Section F, Installation Practices, for detailed information on double containment welding methods.
UV Exposure and Weatherability

All thermoplastic materials react to the exposure of UV differently. PVDF and E-CTFE materials are completely UV resistant over the course of its design life. However, certain chemicals containing Cl anions exposed to UV light can create a free radical Cl that will attack the PVDF pipe wall. For more information on these chemicals, refer to Section F, Good Installation Practices, on weatherability and UV exposure of the piping. Polypropylene is not UV stable. In direct exposure to sunlight it will break down. The effect can be seen in a noticeable color change in the pipe. In pigmented PP systems, the color change will actually create a protective shield on the outer layer of the pipe and prevent further degradation. For PP pipes with a wall thickness greater than 0.25", the effect of UV is normally reduced and can be used outside. However, it is still recommended to protect it from UV exposure for added safety. The Fluid-Lok HDPE material is UV stabilized. Fluid-Lok pipes contain carbon black to make the material UV stable and acceptable for use in outside applications. Other HDPE materials made by other manufacturers may require protection. Be sure to consult a manufacturer prior to selecting a pipe system.

LEAK DETECTION DESIGN
In all buried applications of double containment piping, the EPA (40 CFR 280) has set a requirement for leak detection. Drainage and suction lines require monthly manual inspections for product line leaks. Pressurized systems require automatic monitoring for product failure. In case of a leak, the system must automatically restrict the flow of the product. Asahi/Americas systems are designed to accommodate many different technologies for detecting a leak. The following methods are acceptable: Low point leak detection sensors Continuous leak detection cable systems Visual inspection (only acceptable on drainage systems) The selection of the leak detection system will play a critical role in the layout of the piping system. For instance, if a cable method is used, it will require additional fittings called access ports for pulling the cable. Pipe and fittings will need to be ordered with pull ropes installed at the factory. And finally, the placement of the cable will need to be factored in. In some installations only the main trunk line will have cable; while in others, the cable will split and run up each of the branch lines. This guide has been created to assist in the pipe layout and design of a leak detection system. Each type of system is discussed below in regard to its use in an Asahi /America double containment piping system.
Outer Wall Reducer (if necessary)
also require a valve for drainage. When using low point sensors in below grade applications, it is important that special considerations in the excavation are taken to ensure that sensors are not damaged during installation or during back fill. Figures D-25 through D-28 depict a few assemblies for mounting low point sensors into the annular space of a double contained pipe system.

Low Point Leak Detection Sensors

Low point leak detection sensors can be used in any of Asahi /Americas double wall systems. Poly-Flo Duo-Pro Fluid-Lok For the Poly-Flo system, low point sensors are the only automatic system available. Low point leak detection is relatively straightforward in terms of design. The sensing technology consists of either capacitive or float type switches. These switches are placed in strategic locations throughout a system to properly identify leaks and then determine their location within a reasonable length of pipe. If an insufficient amount of sensors are used and a leak occurs, determining the location of that leak can be extremely difficult, especially if the piping is buried. It is always more practical to use a few more sensors at the time of installation, as it could be a huge cost savings in the long run in the event of a system leak. Mounting of the Sensor Asahi /America pipe systems can accommodate mounting sensors in a variety of different methods. In some cases, it is ideal to place the sensor with as tight a profile to the pipe as possible; in other instances, a low point leak sensor installation may

Using the Dogbone fitting, sections of the annular space can be made into individual compartments. In the case of a leak, the fluid will pass into the annular space, but will be locked into a compartment and not allowed to spread throughout the system. This method has two advantages: one helps to identify leak locations, the other reduces the need to dry out a large section of the annular space once the leak is found and repaired. Figure D-30 demonstrates the use of solid Dogbones to create compartments.

By placing the sensors on the branch of tees or lateral (wye) type connections, the line causing the leak is identified. In addition, placing the sensor every 100 to 150 feet also reduces the area that would be in question if a leak was to occur. Figure D-29 shows an example of a system and the ideal locations for the low point sensors.
Figure D-30. Leak detection compartments
Continuous Cable Leak Detection Systems

Continuous cable leak detection systems offer the best method for locating a leak in the annular space of a double containment pipe system. A cable system can generally pinpoint the location of the leak with an accuracy of 0.5 feet. It can also incorporate low point probes to offer maximum flexibility to the designer. Entire systems can be mapped out, installed, and fed back to an easy to understand operating panel. Most large systems use leak detection cable as the preferred method for monitoring the system. All pressure double wall pipe systems are required to have automated leak detection in below grade applications. In these cases, cable is the recommended method. The discussion of leak detection cable is broken down into two topics: the pipe layout requirements and the electrical cable layout requirements.

Leak detection cable can be used in the following Asahi /America systems: Duo-Pro Fluid-Lok Unfortunately due to the narrow annular space in a Poly-Flo system, the cable cannot be pulled through the system, eliminating its use. Continuous cable systems require a minimum of 0.75" of annular space to pull cable through easily. In Duo-Pro and Fluid-Lok systems, certain pipe configurations can have small annular space making the cable pull difficult or impossible. For instance, 1 x 3 Pro 150 x 150 Duo-Pro systems have a 0.813 space all around. After accounting for the weld bead, the
Compartmentalizing the System

The practice of compartmentalizing the outer containment pipe is in conjunction with strategic placement of sensors. If a major leak were to occur, it is possible that more than one sensor could be tripped in a short time frame. If you have no way of knowing which sensor tripped first, then the value of multiple sensors is lost.

space will be lower than 0.75". For this application, 1 x 4 Pro 150 x 150 or 1 x 4 Pro 150 x 45 should be considered to ease the installation. Consult Appendix A for the available annular space on Duo-Pro systems. For Fluid-Lok systems, consult Asahi /Americas Engineering Department. To clarify once again, for ease of installation the annular space needs to be a minimum of 3/4" to accommodate easy cable pulls.
Height can be variable depending on burial depth
Figure D-32. Access tee with threaded cover
Pipe
There are no special requirements for pipe. Both the Duo-Pro and Fluid-Lok systems are designed to accommodate cable leak detection. Support discs on the ends of pipe and fittings provide a wide opening on the bottom of the pipe, as well as either cut outs or vent holes in other sections, depending on the pipe size. On pipe runs, the carrier pipe is supported by use of spider clips, which support the carrier pipe without blocking the bottom of the annular space.
Fabricated
Figure D-33. Access tee with flanged cover Access tees are supplied in two pieces, allowing the installer to weld the proper pipe height to the tee base to come up to grade. Once the selection of the access tee style is determined, then the strategic location of the pull ports is required. In general, pull ports should be located at no more than 500-foot intervals on straight runs. Each 90 change in direction is approximately equal to 150 feet of straight run. Pull ports should be installed to avoid binding the pull rope. Access tees should also be placed at the beginning and the end of branch locations requiring cables. For tie-ins to the main cable, it is best to place the access tee on the main run in front of the branch location. Figure D-34 shows a small schematic on a drainage system and the proper location of the access port.
Molded
Figure D-31. Two typical end of pipe support discs to accommodate leak detection There are only two important items to keep in mind. When ordering pipe, ensure that pull rope is ordered to be installed on the pipe. The second is during installation. It is critical to align pipe and fittings properly to ensure that support disc openings are located on the bottom. Forgetting this can lead to significant difficulty when trying to pull cable into the system. Access Points Asahi /America offers a standard fitting for accessing the annular space known as the Access Tee or Pull Port Tee. While it can be common practice in HDPE systems to cut windows into the pipe to access the rope or cable, and then weld a saddle on afterwards, this is not an acceptable design. While it is possible to cut windows, this should only be used when the rope or cable is caught in the line and no other alternative is available. Access tees are supplied with a low pressure thread on cap, or for full pressure rating on the outer wall pipe, a flange and blind flange configuration is available.

capable of monitoring several systems simultaneously. Care must also be taken to specify a panel that is capable of monitoring the required length of sensor cable. The control panel should have a visual readout of some sort, as well as a keypad for operation. It should also provide provisions to interface with a computer to use diagnostic and programming tools that are available.

Dogbones in a Cable System

In a double containment system, the Dogbone fitting is used to lock the inner pipe together for proper restraint or for the control of thermal expansion. Unlike low point systems, creating compartments in the system is not practical. If Dogbone fittings are required in the system, the use of the annular style is required to allow cable to pass through.

Sensor Cable Requirements

Sensor Cable Proper selection of the sensor cable is imperative to the successful operation of any leak detection system. Most systems use a specially designed coaxial cable for sensing leaks. Some cables are designed to sense only water, others are designed to sense corrosive chemicals, and some are designed to sense the presence of hydrocarbons. There are also combinations of these available that can sense corrosive water-based liquids while ignoring hydrocarbons and vice versa; or there are some cables that can sense water and hydrocarbons. These selections increase the flexibility of system applications. The chemistry of the media must be considered to ensure proper selection of the sensing cable. Jumper Cable Jumper cable is used to connect sensor cable segments and probes together to form the sensing string. Jumper cable is not affected by contact with water. However, installation in conduit is recommended to prevent physical damage. If needed, jumper cable can be direct buried.

Visual Inspection Monitoring

In drainage only applications, an alternative method to automated leak detection is manual inspection. As long as monitoring can be accomplished every 30 days and recorded, manual inspection is allowed. For manual inspection, low point drains are placed at collection points in line as required. By designing in wells, systems can be opened and the annular space inspected to sight a possible leak. Manual inspection can also be accomplished at the end of the line. Figures D-37 and D-38 show two possible designs for manual leak detection. Probes can also be placed in wells as a manner of automated detection with a view point.
Probe Option Grade
The Connectors
The cable connection is perhaps the most critical component to a hassle free commissioning of the system. Factory training of all personnel installing connectors is strongly recommended to save many hours troubleshooting a system with poor connections. The connectors are typically standard UHF coaxial cable connectors that are connected together with an adapter. Since there is the possibility of the connection getting wet in the event of a leak, each connection must be carefully sealed with shrink tubing upon commissioning of the system.
The Control Panel

The control panel is the heart of the leak detection system. It is typically mounted in a location that is convenient for an operator to monitor its status. The control panel can be ordered in several configurations. Some are multi-channel devices that are

VENTILATION SYSTEM DESIGN

FM approval will require the use of an internal sprinkler head system. In case of a fire, the sprinkler system would eliminate the possibility of the vent system spreading the fire. There are sprinkler systems on the market that are specifically designed for this application and dramatically reduce the installation labor, as well as the required sprinkler head inspection process after installation. Figure D-39 shows a detail of a typical flexible sprinkler head and the mounting component offered by Asahi/America.
Flexhead Exhaust Duct Sprinkler Attachment Sprinkler Connection Fitting

In the past 10 years thermoplastic materials have started to be used for ventilation applications. A thermoplastic vent system provides many features that standard sheet metal cannot in terms of functionality, ease of installation, and corrosion resistance. In designing a thermoplastic water system, the following items need to be considered: Materials of Construction Operating Parameters Codes Layout Recommendations Thermal Expansion UV Exposure Hanging Welding Methods
Outside Diameter
2" Dia Hole
For the construction of ventilation systems, Asahi/America provides the ProVent system. ProVent components are now available in Polypropylene and PVDF. The system is designed specifically for ventilation and transport of hazardous fumes and potentially corrosive gases. Both polypropylene and PVDF offer different resistance to chemical applications that should be verified prior to purchase.

Figure D-39. Detail of a flexible sprinkler head and mounting component ProVent PVDF is a material that is considered self-extinguishing. PVDF has significantly better smoke and flame ratings as compared to most other thermoplastic materials. PVDF material offered by Asahi/America is an FM approved material according FM 4910 Standards. Contact Asahi/America for further information on installation requirements for PVDF systems. In addition, Asahi/America has on file the test results according to multiple smoke and flame standards for both polypropylene and PVDF. In short, there may be a need or requirement for internal closed-head sprinklers in a ProVent system if combustible materials can accumulate inside the pipe line.
Operating Parameters
The ProVent system is available in multiple wall thickness in polypropylene. The selection of material pressure rating shall be based on the following criteria: Operating temperature Media to be transported Operating pressure, positive or negative Economics Required fire codes Size to be installed By evaluating the above parameters, the proper system can be chosen. In many applications polypropylene will more than exceed the application; however, if the media to be transported is at an elevated temperature PVDF may be required. In general, PP systems are available in a larger selection of sizes and pressure rating options. Refer to Asahi/Americas ProVent Dimensional Guide for availability of components.
Layout Recommendations
Ventilation systems are often the most custom design of any pipe system in the factory. They are large in diameter and generally need to be connected to multiple equipment vents. Asahi/America offers a wide range of standard components for assembling a system. However, many systems cannot be accomplished using standard components. A skilled installer can make special fabrications in the field to accomplish the layout requirement of a system. In addition, Asahi/America can design and prefabricate pipe systems and ship them ready for installation. Figure D-40 shows a detail of a component that could not be made with standard fittings, but can easily be produced in Asahi /Americas fabrication shop and shipped to the job-site ready to be installed.

Codes
In designing a ventilation system, the most pertinent code may be the fire code or the need for Factory Mutual approval. ProVent systems made of polypropylene can be installed according to FM regulations and the final installed product can meet FM requirements. The use of PP in systems requiring

Finally, the use of hangers as guides and anchors becomes important. As the design procedures in Section C indicate, certain hangers should be used as guides to allow the pipe to move back and forth in-line, while other hangers shall be anchoring locations used to direct the expansion into the compensating device. The anchors and hangers should be designed to withstand the end load generated by the thermal expansion. Figure D-40. Asahi/America prefabricated assembly For more information on fabrication assistance, contact Asahi/Americas Engineering Department. For calculation of allowed stresses and design of expansion compensation devices, refer to Section C, Engineering Theory and Design Considerations.
Thermal Expansion
Based on a systems operating criteria, thermal expansion must be considered. For systems maintained at consistent temperatures, compensation for thermal effects may not be required. It is, however, important to review all aspects fo the the operating environment such as: Is it outdoors where it will be exposed to changing weather? Is the system spiked with a high temperature cleaning solution? Will the system run at a significantly higher temperature than the installation temperature? The occurrence of any thermal change in a plastic system will cause the material to expand or contract. As an example of the effect, Polypropylene will grow roughly one inch for every 100 linear feet at 10 F T. Ventilation systems will often reach an equilibrium with the temperature of the ambient environment. Therefore, if the pipe is to be hung in a ceiling where the temperature will vary in summer and winter, the change in temperature that most affects the pipe may be due to the ambient temperature changing rather than media temperature changing. This is almost always the case in systems installed outdoors. ProVent systems can be used in hot applications and applications where the temperature is cyclical; it just requires analysis of the thermal expansion effects. Section C in this guide walks through the steps of calculating thermal expansion, end loads, and expansion compensating devices. In most cases, the use of expansions, offsets, and proper hanging techniques are all that is required to ensure a proper design. Hot systems also reduce the rigidity of thermoplastic piping, which, in turn, decreases the support spacing between pipe hangers. In smaller dimensions it is recommended to use continuous support made of some type channel or split plastic pipe. Review hanging requirements that are based on the actual operating temperatures.
UV Exposure
As a rule, PVDF material is UV resistant and can be installed in direct exposure to sunlight without protection. In certain applications with Chlorine content this may not be true. Free radical Chlorine can cause a breakdown of PVDF when exposed to UV light. For these applications it is best to protect the pipe by wrapping or insulating it. Contact Asahi /America for information on chemicals that can cause this effect. Polypropylene is not 100% UV stable. Over time, the outer surface of a standard gray Polypropylene pipe will change color and will become brittle. The surface becomes chalky to the touch. Generally if the surface is left untouched, the effect of the UV change will stop and not continue through the pipe. A pipe with a heavy wall thickness may not require protection as the change will only occur on the outer most surface. The effect to the mechanical strength of the pipe will be minimal. However, most ventilation systems operate at low pressures and use thin walled pipe for cost savings. Therefore, the ProVent PP, in most cases, should be wrapped or protected from UV exposure.
Hanging
Since plastic reacts differently than metal, varying hanger styles are required. The designer of a system should specify the exact hanger and location and not leave this portion up to the installer. See Appendix A (Pro 45) for the hanging distance required on ProVent systems.
Welding Methods
There are several options for installing a ProVent system. Most projects will incorporate two or three different joining techniques. The methods are Conventional butt fusion Hot air welding Extrusion welding

Rev. EDG 02/A
ProVent is made to the same outer wall dimensions (DIN Standards) as all other polypropylene and PVDF pipe systems offered by Asahi /America. The same butt-fusion equipment and methodology can be used to assemble these systems. Butt fusion provides full pressure rated welds and offers a high degree of reliability for ventilation welding. However, depending on the size of pipe and location of the welds, butt fusion can be cumbersome. To conduct a weld in a ceiling of 24" pipe will be difficult and will consume a significant amount of time to lift the pipe, the tool, and an operator into position. In many cases, it is recommended to prefabricate a system on the ground or in a workshop and then conduct final assembly using flange connections. In addition to using flange connections for final hook-up, couplings and slip flanges can be used. These components can be hot air welded or extrusion welded depending on the size of the pipe and the required system operating pressure. Hand welding, (hot air or extrusion welding) is a convenient method for welding in place or in prefabrication. Below is a detail of a slip coupling being hand welded. This method, while convenient, is highly reliant on an operators skill. Hot air welding is simple and requires minimal practice to become proficient; however, extrusion welding is more complicated and a more extensive training course is required. Once these skills are mastered, they will prove highly useful during installation. It is recommended on all ProVent projects to buy at least one hot air welding tool as there is always a need for it.

COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS

By knowing the above parameters, thermal plastic pipe systems can be selected. Compare the actual conditions to the allowable ratings of the material being selected for the job. It is important to predict elevated temperatures, as thermoplastics have reduced pressure ratings at higher temperatures. The AirPro system is rated at 230 psi at 68 F. Table D-3 lists correction factors for higher temperatures. Table D-3. Air-Pro Pressure Rating Correction Factor

COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM DESIGN

A compressed air system made of thermoplastic piping is a simplified installation. The Air-Pro system by Asahi /America provides fast, safe installation with all the long-term corrosion resistance of plastics that are ideal for the air systems. This section reviews the necessary items to consider when designing a compressed air system. The topics covered are: Materials of Construction Operating Parameters, Oils System Sizing Thermal Expansion Other Considerations Hanging Welding Methods
Correction Factor
1.00 0.88 0.79 0.65
Multiply the standard rating of 230 psi by the correction factor that correlates with a systems expected operating temperature. Valves should be verified separately in terms of temperature and pressure from a piping system, as certain styles and brands of valves have lower ratings than the pipe system. Finally, in compressed air systems, oil is used in the compressor as a lubricant. Depending on the filter and drying system, it is common for the oil to get into the pipe system. With certain plastics, such as ABS, synthetic oils can break down the plastic or the glue and cause failures over time. For most mineral and synthetic compressor oils, Air-Pro is resistant to the effects of the oil. For an exact recommendation, contact Asahi /Americas Engineering Department to verify your oil and application. After verifying the standard operating conditions, it is necessary to examine other operations that might affect the piping. The following is a sample of items to investigate, prior to specifying a material. Will there be spikes in temperature or pressure? Is there a cleaning operation that the piping will be exposed to? If yes, what is the cleaning agent? What temperature will the cleaning be conducted at? Will the system be exposed to sunlight or other sources of UV? Each of the above questions should be answered and the desired material should be checked for suitability based on the above factors, as well as any others that might be special to the system in question.
When designing a compressed air system, it is critical to use materials that are manufacturer recommended for the application. Only certain thermoplastics are approved for use in compressed air applications due to safety precautions that must be considered. Thermoplastics, such as PVC, are not recommended for use in compressed air applications due to its highly crystalline structure. Under pressure, air will compress, generating a high potential energy. In the event of a failure, the release of the compressed air turns the potential energy into kinetic energy, which releases at high velocities as the air decompresses. Brittle materials can shatter and brake into fragments at the point failure. The plastic pieces that break off are dangerous to surrounding personnel, causing injury and possible death. The use of Air-Pro for compressed air service is recommended by Asahi /America, Inc. The Air-Pro system was specifically designed for compressed air. The materials ductile nature makes it safe in the event of any possible failure. In a failure mode, the material will stretch and tear, without the fragmentation of any material. Air-Pro is similar to copper pipe when it breaks open due to failure in a frozen application. Air-Pro has been tested for impact failure at full pressure and full pressure at cold temperatures, displaying safe ductile properties under all conditions. For compressed air systems, Air-Pro is recommended.
Operating Parameters, Oils

Because thermoplastic systems have varying ratings at different temperatures, it is important to design a system around all the parameters that will be subjected to it. As a first pass, verify the following operating parameters: Continuous operating temperature Continuous operating pressure Oil to be used in compressor
System Sizing
Designing pipe lines for compressed air or gas is considerably different from designing a non-compressible liquid system. Gases are compressible, so there are more variables to consider. Designs should take into account current and future demands to avoid unnecessarily large pressure drops as a system is expanded. Elevated pressure drops represent unrecoverable energy and financial losses.
ASAHI /AMERICA
Rev. EDG 02/A
D-27

One advantage in designing an Air-Pro system is its smooth internal bore and resistance to corrosion in moist environments, which means the material can be used for years with extraordinarily low maintenance and without increases in pressure drop common to metal systems. Condensate and moist environments cause most metal systems to scale, pit, and corrode, resulting in increased pressure drop. For Air-Pro piping, the roughness factor, C, of the pipe internals is approximately 150 to 165. This factor is inversely proportional to friction head losses. As C decreases, system friction increases. Since Air-Pro pipe is resistant to corrosion, the roughness factor will not decrease over time, thus the pressure drop will not increase. Conversely, a carbon steel system with an initial roughness factor of 120 will scale over time, causing an increase in friction, increased pressure drops, and greater demand on the air compressor unit.
To design the main line of a compressed gas system, Equation D-1 has been developed: d = (0.00067 L Q1.85 P)0.2 (D-1)
where: d = inside diameter (in) L = length of main line (ft) Q = standard volumetric flow rate (make-up air) P = output pressure from the compressor (psi) P = allowable pressure drop (psi) Equation D-1 relates the pipes inside diameter (d) to the pressure drop. In order to use the equation, certain information must be known. First, the required air consumption must be predetermined. Based on required air consumption, a compressor can be chosen with an output pressure rating (P). The length of the main pipe line to be installed, and the number of fittings in the main line must also be known. For fittings, use Appendix A to determine the equivalent length of pipe per fitting style. The allowable pressure in the system has to be specified. Typically, a value of 4 psi or less is used as a general rule of thumb for compressed air systems. To summarize, the following data should be specified: L = length of main line (ft) Q = standard volumetric flow rate (make-up air) P = output pressure from the compressor (psi) P = allowable pressure drop (psi)
Main Lines
Normal compressed air systems incorporate two types of pipe lines when designed correctly: the main (or the trunk) line and the branch lines. Main lines are used to carry the bulk of the compressed gas. Undersizing the main line can create large pressure drops and high velocities throughout the system. In general, systems should be oversized to allow for future expansion, as well as reduce demand on the compressor. Oversizing the main line will be more of an initial capital expense, but can prove to be an advantage over time. In addition to reducing pressure drop, the extra volume in the trunk line acts as an added receiver, reducing compressor demand and allowing for future expansion. Small mains with high velocities can also cause problems with condensed water. High air velocities pick up the condensed water and spray it through the line. With a larger diameter, velocities are lowered, allowing water to collect on the bottom of the pipe while air flows over the top. A generally accepted value for velocity in the main line is 20 feet per second. It may also be preferable to arrange the mains in a loop to have the entire pipe act as a reservoir.
Goosenecks
Branch Lines
Lines of 100 feet or less coming off the main line are referred to as branch lines. Since these lines are relatively short in length, and the water from condensation is separated in the main lines, branches are generally sized smaller and allow for higher velocities and pressure drops. To prevent water from entering the branch line, gooseneck fittings are used to draw air from the top of the main line, leaving condensed water on the bottom of the main line.
Thermal Expansion
Based on your operating criteria, thermal expansion must be considered. For systems maintained at consistent temperatures, compensation for thermal effects may not be required. It is, however, important to review all aspects of the operating environment, such as: Is it outdoors where the pipe will be exposed to changing weather? Is the system spiked with a high temperature cleaning solution? Will the system run at a significantly higher temperature than the installation temperature?

Direct Connection to a Compressor
As with any material, Air-Pro has upper temperature and pressure rating limitations. For the majority of compressed air systems, Air-Pro is ideal and meets the requirements. One common concern with compressed air systems is the temperature of the air directly leaving the compressor. In many cases, this temperature is extremely high and can exceed the rating of Air-Pro. In these locations, it is not recommended to directly attach the Air-Pro system to the compressor. Instead, start the Air-Pro system after a cooler or dryer, where temperatures are lower. In between the compressor and the dryer/cooler, use metal piping to handle the higher temperatures. The length of metal pipe in these locations is generally very little and should have minimal effect on the air quality.
The occurrence of any thermal change in a plastic system will cause the material to expand or contract. Thermoplastic systems can be used in hot applications and applications where the temperature is cyclical. It just requires analysis of the thermal expansion effects. Section C discusses the steps of calculating thermal expansion, end loads, and expansion compensating devices. In most cases the use of expansions, offsets, and proper hanging techniques is all that is required to ensure a proper design. Hot systems also reduce the rigidity of thermoplastic piping pipe, which, in turn, decreases the support spacing between pipe hangers. In smaller dimensions, using continuous supports made of some type of channel or split plastic pipe is recommended. Finally, the use of hangers as guides and anchors becomes important. As the design procedures in Section C indicate, certain hangers should be used as guides to allow the pipe to move back and forth in-line, while other hangers should be anchoring locations used to direct the expansion into the compensating device. The anchors and hangers should be designed to withstand the thermal end load. For calculation of allowed stresses and design of expansion compensation devices, refer to Section C, Engineering Theory and Design Considerations.
Hanging
Since plastic reacts differently than metal, varying hanger styles are required. The designer of a system should specify the exact hanger and location and not leave this portion up to the installer. Use Table D-4 for determining the hanging distance required on Air-Pro systems. In smaller dimensions, it may be advantageous to use a continuous support for horizontal piping. Table D-4.

Other Considerations
UV Exposure
The Air-Pro system is not rated for direct UV exposure. In certain outdoor applications, wrapping the pipe for protection is recommended. There are a variety of methods to accomplish this wrapping. Consult with Asahi /Americas Engineering Department for recommendations on Air-Pro in UV exposed applications.

Welding Methods
The system designer should specify the equipment method to be used in any given project. The choice of particular equipment should be based on the following concerns: Installation location Size range System complexity Socket fusion is ideal for small, simple, low cost systems. Socket fusion can be done quite easily with a hand-held welding plate and a few inserts. With just a limited amount of practice, an installer can make safe and reliable joints. For larger dimensions, up to a maximum of 4", bench style socket fusion equipment is available for keeping joints aligned.
Insulation
Insulation is a nice method of protecting a pipe system from UV exposure, as well as providing required insulation for the system or media being transported. A serious difference between plastic and metal is plastics thermal properties. A metal pipe system will quickly take the temperature of the media being transported. A system carrying a media at 150 F will have an outer wall temperature close to or at 150 F. In contrast, thermoplastics have an inherent insulating property that maintains heat inside the pipe better than a metal system. The advantage is that a plastic pipe has better thermal properties, which translates into improved operating efficiencies and reduced insulation thickness.

For systems that have larger dimensions above 4", butt fusion is a logical choice. Welding can take place in a variety of climates and conditions. In addition, butt fusion offers the widest variety of welding equipment options. Tools are available for bench welding, trench welding, and welding in the rack, making it completely versatile for almost all applications. Refer to Section F, Installation Practices, for a tool selection guide. Since Air-Pro is available as a socket system from 1/2" to 4", the only selection of equipment is between the hand-held tool or the larger bench style tool. However, if a system is mostly pipe with long straight runs, then the use of butt fusion can be considered. Using butt fusion on the pipe-to-pipe welds will reduce the amount of welds, as well as decrease the need for coupling fittings to connect the pipe. However, in these installations, two welding methods on the job site are required: butt fusion for the pipe and socket fusion for the fitting connections. For a more detailed analysis of welding methods and equipment, refer to Section F, Installation Practices.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
OVERVIEW OF MATERIALS
Polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), PVDF, and Halar are superior materials in terms of resistance to environmental corrosive agents. All materials are resistant to a wide variety of organic and inorganic chemicals up to high concentrations and temperatures. PP and PE are members of the polyolefin family of plastics, with excellent chemical inertness, resistance to moisture flow, and complete resistance to attack by ambient moisture. They are not affected by most inorganic chemicals, or organic solvents below 180 F and 140 F respectfully, and detergents. Both PP and PE are affected, however, by the halogens, fuming nitric and sulfuric acids, and other highly oxidizing environments. Aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons tend to cause swelling and softening at elevated temperatures as well.
OVERVIEW OF MATERIALS
up to operating temperatures of 280 F. It shows excellent resistance to the halogens, strong oxidants, and ultra pure water solutions. It is affected by strong baseous solutions, members of the amine family, and is not recommended for highly polar solvents such as ketones or esters. Halar (E-CTFE) is resistant to the widest selection of chemical media. Halar is perfectly suitable for strong acid and bases, halogens, and ultra pure water. It does have a reduction in resistance to certain ketones. Halar has the highest temperature rating of 300 F for continuous operation. Asahi /America has a very detailed corrosion resistance database available for these specific products, which include over 600 corrosive solutions at a variety of concentrations and operating temperatures. At all times refer to the specific chemical resistance guide appropriate for each product. Asahi /America, Inc. databases all of its chemical projects. Chemical verifications conducted by resin manufacturers are also kept on file for reference. When using aggressive chemicals or mixtures of multiple chemicals, consult Asahi /America for a written recommendation on the specific application. To receive a documented recommendation, submit the chemical concentration, temperature, and operating pressure to the Asahi /America Engineering Department. A formal response can be generated normally in one week or less. A Chemical Resistance Check Request Form is included at the end of this section.
Polypropylene has a high temperature resistance, making it more suitable for a wider range of chemical process applications. PP is generally suitable up to a maximum temperature of 180 F. High density polyethylene is rated to a maximum operating temperature of 140 F. HDPE (class and resin dependent) is a ductile material making it preferable for lower temperature application. PVDF and Halar are members of the inert fluoropolymer family. PVDF is made from polyvinylidene fluoride, with even greater chemical inertness and resistance to moisture flow as compared to PP and PE. PVDF resists many corrosives, including inorganic substances such as mineral acids with very low pHs

CORROSION AND PLASTICS
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
ture result in a lowering of the activation energy required for a reaction to proceed, but it also causes a polymer to expand. This results in an increase in permeability, penetrability, and solubility characteristics of the polymer, which aid in a combination of the different mechanisms. One important point should be noted regarding temperature. As a plastic increases through its temperature profile, there may be a certain transition temperature where the basic stress crack mechanism may be altered appreciably. The significance of this fact is that by trying to extrapolate from known performance at a low temperature to a high temperature may lead to erroneous results. A particular danger exists if a data point is presented at ambient temperature only, and an attempt is made to make a prediction near the design temperature limit of the polymer.
GENERAL NATURE OF CORROSION AND PLASTICS

Chemical resistance varies greatly between any two particular families of plastics. Within a given family of plastics, there are also differences between any two particular plastics. To compound the matter further, chemical resistance will vary slightly between different grades of a particular plastic or between resins made by different manufacturers. A specific plastic will vary slightly with respect to molecular weight, distribution, degree of crystallinity, amount of internal plasticization that may be present (co-polymerization), and other properties. Therefore, it is not suggested that general chemical resistance tables be used for determining the chemical resistance of a given manufacturers resin. In addition, it is strongly recommended that the practice of extrapolating on the basis of chemical similarity of a substance with respect to different plastics of a given family be avoided. What is recommended is that a specific manufacturers chemical resistance table be consulted for the particular product, such as the Asahi /America tables for Asahi /America products. The manner in which a type of chemical might affect a plastic also varies, due to the fact that differing chemicals produce differing reaction mechanisms when interacting with a plastic material. Depending on the reaction mechanism, an affected plastic may become embrittled, softened, charred, crazed, delaminated, discolored, dissolved, blistered, or swelled. The reaction mechanisms that produce these types of effects can be grouped into major categories such as: chemical reaction; solvation; absorption; plasticization; and environmental stresscracking. Combinations of these reaction mechanisms do occur and when it does, the detection is thus more complex. Chemical reaction is a very general heading, and can be broken down into many distinct categories. Some of these include: oxidation, where chemical bonds are attacked; hydrolysis (not possible for PP, PE, PVDF, and E-CTFE); dehydration (mostly caused by heat); alkylation; halogenation; radiation; and others. Certain reactions are predictable due to chemical structure of the resin. However, attack usually occurs in a complex manner with respect to polymers, suggesting that testing be performed under actual conditions in order to make a decision on performance.
The Effect of Concentration

There are many different families and types of reagents, each with different properties concerning solubility, reaction between other chemical groups, etc. Each will present a slightly different concern due to the different attack mechanisms they might potentially trigger with respect to a given polymer type. The concentration of a reagent will also pose a concern, and can result in differing reaction rates at differing concentration levels. This is true for a variety of complex reasons. Of particular concern, but certainly not alone in importance, is the mineral acids. This group can show substantially different effects at various levels along the concentration profile. Again, importance must be given to the concentration effect of a given chemical for the same reason that temperature causes great concern. A level of concentration may be obtained where suddenly a transition is achieved and the stress cracking mechanism can show substantial alteration. Extrapolating results on the basis of known concentrations is a very dangerous situation, and is strongly advised against. The larger the number of data points available, the better will be the prediction. However, testing is always recommended if performance is not known.
Manufacturing Effect
The manner in which a product is manufactured can induce molded-in stresses that can produce changes in chemical resistance, particularly with regard to environmental stress cracking. Manufacturing can also produce surface irregularities that vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. In general, a smoother surface will show better results in terms of all of the attack mechanisms. Built in stress due to poor extrusion methods will decrease a systems overall resistance to a chemical. Temperature, pressure, and chemical attack all add to a systems stress level. If the amount of stress exceeds the allowable hoop stress, environmental stress cracking will occur. It is, therefore, necessary to carefully review all the parameters of an application.
Criteria for Material Selection

There are several conditions that bear particular importance on the individual chemical attack mechanisms, and thus have a great effect on the selection process. The conditions of direct importance include: temperature, type of corrosive reagent to be handled, the concentration of the particular reagent, and the operating pressure of the system.
The Effect of Temperature

Temperature has a large effect on all of the attack mechanisms. The attack will almost always be directly related to temperature, with increasing temperature resulting in increasing attack on the plastic material. Not only does an increase in temperaASAHI /AMERICA

Chemical Attack Mechanisms
Chemical Reaction Mechanism
Chemical attack by virtue of chemical reaction can proceed along the paths of any of the types of reactions described earlier, depending on the given chemical and plastic. If the active sites to be attacked along the polymer chain are at the ends, a chain reaction may be initiated leading to a complete unzipping of the polymer structure. If the sites are distributed, then at these distributed sites, the polymer will become scissioned or separated. This will lead to a consequent chemical breakdown of the polymer. The ease of detecting a chemical reaction occurrence through testing depends a great deal on the rates at which these reactions can occur. The typical properties to be measured include molecular weight, dimensions, overall appearance, and shortterm properties, such as tensile strength, elongation, flexural properties, and the like. A rapid reaction can easily be detected through molecular weight change, color, appearance, etc. A slower reaction is better detected by the changes in the aforementioned short-term mechanical properties. A challenge to the designer in analyzing chemical effect is to try to quantify these results. The point at which a given plastics change in properties makes it no longer acceptable for a given time of application is arbitrary according to design needs. The most likely property to pay close attention to for piping systems is the tensile creep rupture tests, since this data is the most important property in analyzing design strength of a plastic piping system.
CORROSION AND PLASTICS
Plasticization
Plasticization typically arises as an imperfect solvent is selectively absorbed into the surface of the product and incorporates itself into the molecular structure of the molecule through secondary bonding. The typical result is the significant lowering of mechanical properties, and the lowering of glass-transition temperature. The plastic might also tend to gain in weight or dimension, but this is likely to be used only as an indication of the effect. The significance of the effect is better described through measuring the mechanical properties, as described earlier, and measuring the glass-transition temperature.
Environmental Stress Cracking Mechanism

When a plastic is subjected to stresses, it may be subject to catastrophic failure due to the initiation and propagation of cracks and crazes. This is the process known as environmental stress cracking and is inherently difficult to predict. A basic mechanism is assumed in which a source of localized weakening on the surface of the plastic due to the chemical action of a chemical reagent is commonly accepted as what takes place. As this localized weakening takes place, a crack appears, creating greater surface area, while also acting as a stress concentrator. The effect is thus multiplied, and further failure occurs until the inevitable catastrophic failure results. A crack may appear through selective absorption of the reagent into the polymer chain, selective solvation by the reagent of polymer from localized areas, or complexing along the polymer chain at localized sites. No matter what the selective mechanism for the localized attack is, the result is always a weakening of the localized area resulting in an initial failure, followed by crack propagation. The result of the crack propagation is as described above, greater surface area and stress concentration with subsequent catastrophic failure. To test for environmental stress cracking, both exposure and stress must occur in unison in order to reveal the mechanism. Since this is the most important mechanism with respect to piping performance, three tests are described to assist in detecting this phenomenon. Creep Rupture Test Cantilever Beam Test Stress-Relaxation Test
Solvation Mechanism
Solvation effect of a given solvent on a thermoplastic usually manifests itself in terms of swelling of the plastic, and weight and dimensional changes. Simple tests similar to those described for chemical attack can readily detect these changes in the plastic. Asahi/America materials are very stable due to their high molecular weights and stable molecular structures, and thus are not subject to solvation by many known common solvents.

TESTING FOR STRESS CRACKING
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
The advantages of these test procedures include the fact that stress-crack resistance is measured as a direct variable in terms of the reduction in design strength (stress) of the plastic. In addition, the expected service life could be extrapolated in a realistic fashion from these results.
TESTING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS CRACKING

Creep Rupture Test
To test for environmental stress cracking under this procedure, the basic test for tensile creep (ASTM D-2990) is modified to produce the desired results. To conduct tests under ambient temperatures, a set-up similar to Figure E-2 might be used. To conduct measurements of creep strain and rupture at a variety of temperatures, a test set-up similar to Figure E-3 might be adapted. In this set-up, the encasing stainless steel outer pipe could be immersed into a constant temperature bath in which the temperature could be varied.

Cantilever Beam Test

The cantilever test is a fairly simple test in comparison to the Creep Rupture Test previously described. It is valid primarily when short exposure times are required and when the material does not show significant creep. It is an excellent test for large numbers of test specimens. A suggested test set-up is shown in Figure E-4.

In the test, the test reagent is applied to the blotted paper, and the beam is bent by the clip attached to the end. Initially, trial and error is used to determine a weight that will produce cracking near the mid-point of the bar. Stress and strain will vary in a cantilevered beam from zero at the free end to the maximum at the clamped end. Cracks will, therefore, appear from the free end, all the way to the distance at which the combination of stress cracking reagent and stress reach the critical stress and strain point. The following formula can be used to determine critical stress and strain: Sc = 6FL bt2 Where: Sc F L b t (E-1)

Stress-Relaxation Test
A third alternative is to test a specimen under stress by subjecting it to a fixed deflection. This test eliminates the need for weights, and takes up little space. A suggested set-up is shown in Figure E-5. The test is limited to the more flexible plastics, and to situations where stress-cracking is of short duration, due to the effect of stress relaxation. To calculate critical strain at which stress-cracking first appears, use the following equation:

INSTALLATION PRACTICES
GOOD INSTALLATION PRACTICES
Flanging and AV Gaskets
When bolting a flange connection, it is required to tighten the bolts in a specified pattern as well as tighten them to a required specification. Asahi /America offers a line of low torque AV gaskets in sizes 1/2"12" for single wall pipe connections. These gaskets offer a unique double-convex ring design that gives optimum sealing with one third the torque of a common flat gasket seal. The gaskets are available in the following materials: EPDM PVDF bonded over EPDM TeflonTM over EPDM They are available in both standard and high-purity grade. PTFE and PVDF bonded gaskets are produced in a proprietary laminating process for bonding to EPDM. The use of the rubber backing provides greater elasticity for lower bonding torques.
Butterfly Valves
Most Asahi /America piping systems are produced to metric dimensions according to ISO standards. However, Asahi / America butterfly valves are produced according to iron pipe size dimensions. The outcome is that in certain sizes, the disk of the butterfly valve can meet interference with inside pipe wall when opening. The interference is typical in SDR 11 polypropylene systems in 6" and larger and SDR 32.5 polypropylene in 8" and larger. In PVDF systems, the effect is 8"12" in SDR 33 and 6" and larger in SDR 21 systems. Polypropylene stubs in the interfering dimensions are always beveled at the factory to avoid this issue. PVDF stub ends mounted for butterfly valve installation must be ordered special from Asahi /America. PVDF stubs are not automatically supplied with a beveled end for other reasons. Contact Asahi /America for special part numbers on PVDF beveled stub ends.
Threading
In general, threaded connections are not recommended for high pressure thermoplastic piping systems. If thermoplastic pipe is threaded, the pressure rating is derated significantly. In certain instances an installer may choose to thread the system. Recommendations for threading plastic piping have been developed by the Plastic Piping Institute. It should be noted that certain Asahi /America systems with thinner walls simply cannot be threaded. In addition, metric pipe systems, even with thick pipe walls, cannot be threaded since the outside diameters are not the same as IPS pipe, making the threads too short in height. Only pipe having a wall thickness greater than Sch 80 should be threaded. Only pipe dies that are clean and sharp and specifically designed for plastic piping should be used. If a vise is used to restrain the pipe during the cutting, exercise caution not to scratch or deform the pipe. Wooden plugs inserted in the pipe ends can reduce this risk. Before cutting threads, the pipe must be deburred of all sharp edges. A die stock with a proper guide that will start and go on square to the pipe axis should be used. The use of cutting oil should be kept to a minimum. Once the threads are cut, they should be seated with PTFE tape. In most cases, the use of threading pipe can be avoided altogether by use of molded male and female adapters. These fittings have been designed and produced to provide a full 150 psi pressure rating at 70 F. The male and female adapters address the need to connect to existing pipe systems or equipment without derating the system. The use of these fittings welded to the pipe is recommended instead of attempting to thread pipe. Asahi /America does not recommend threading or threaded fittings made of HDPE.
Detail of Gasket
When tightening a flange, the torque rating is dependent on the gasket used. For the AV gasket, see Table F-1 for the recommended tightness. In addition, when tightening follow the star pattern shown below. Conduct two or three passes, tightening the flange uniformly. Finish by doing a circular pass to check the torque values. Always use a torque wrench when tightening a flange. A common mistake when tightening a flange is to squeeze it as tightly as possible. This action will damage the gasket and eventually lead to reduced elasticity and leakage. Do not tighten beyond the rating. Table F-1. Recommended Bolt Torque for AV Gaskets (lbs)

Chlorine and Chlorinated Hydrocarbon Installations
When PVDF is used to transport chlorine or chlorinated hydrocarbons, special precautions should be taken if the possibility of a reaction is suggested by the application. In certain post chlorination pipe lines, downstream in a bleached paper process (chlorine dioxide reactor, for instance), there exists a small amount of spent reactants that ordinarily will not proceed to completion. However, it has been shown that ultraviolet light from sunlight or fluorescent light fixtures may offer enough energy to initiate this reaction to completion. In the process, free-radical chlorine is released instantaneously, and there is a tendency for some substitution of chlorine molecules for hydrogen in the polymer chain. As this happens, stress cracks may appear in the pipe wall through a mechanism not yet completely understood, and the system may fail. Therefore, it is required to protect any PVDF system from the possibility of ultraviolet light propagation from reactions involving the generation of free-radical chlorine. One method of providing this protection is through the same method of taping described in the previous section for protecting polypropylene piping from ultraviolet attack.
Weatherability/UV
Special Considerations
Weather Effects Polypropylene, HDPE, and PVDF are resistant to almost all the effects of weather. They differ, however, on one important characteristic: resistance to ultraviolet light degradation. PVDF is almost completely unaffected by UV light. HDPE, with its black additive, is resistant to UV light, as is Poly-Flo black polypropylene. Standard polypropylene from Asahi /America is a European gray polypropylene that is affected as the energy from ultraviolet radiation initiates a chemical reaction in the polymer. Natural polypropylene is not UV resistant. The reaction between polypropylene (gray) and UV radiation only takes place at the surface to shallow depths measured in minute fractions of an inch. The molecules at the surface of the plastic are permanently altered to form a complex formation of various chemicals, such as polypropylene-type formations. A noticeable chalky-yellow appearance ensues, with a resulting slight reduction in impact strength. This effect will only become noticeable upon prolonged exposure, and will not continue to progress if the ultraviolet source is removed. The effect can be measured after a prolonged period of time as a slight increase in tensile strength, a slight increase in elastic modulus, and a minor decrease in impact strength. The degradation only occurs to a shallow depth, although in time there may be some slight flaking off of the chemically altered surface molecules. Thin wall polypropylene pipe fittings should be protected against ultraviolet light penetration if placed in an outdoor environment. Some of the various methods include painting, providing a shield, or taping/wrapping the pipe. In order to paint the piping, polypropylene must first receive a coating of a suitable primer to allow the acrylic lacquer to be applied. The primer can be applied by brush to small diameter pipes and sprayed onto larger diameter pipes. Then a suitable paint can be selected and applied in a similar fashion. It is advisable to strictly adhere to the manufacturers instructions concerning safe operating practices when applying the selected paint. A thin-walled insulation type shield or rigid vapor jacket barrier can eliminate the effects of ultraviolet light. A thin aluminum shield should provide all the protection that is necessary. A third method includes covering the piping with tape. A recommended type of tape is called TapeCoat and is made by TapeCoat, Inc. of Evanston, IL. This tape should be applied with 50% overlap, and when properly applied, will completely protect the piping against ultraviolet attack.

WELDING METHODS
Socket Fusion
In socket welding, the pipe end and socket fittings are heated to welding temperature by means of a socket and spigot heater inserts. Socket welding may be manually performed on pipe diameters up to 2.0" (63 mm). Sizes above that require a Bench Socket Tool due to the required joining forces. In sizes greater than 1", a bench style machine may be preferred for ease of operation.

Welding Process
Hand-Held Socket Fusion Once the heating element is warmed to the proper temperature, welding proceeds as follows: 1. Follow the welding parameters provided with Asahi /Americas socket welding equipment (see Tables F-2, F-3, and F-5 for sample welding data). 2. a. Cut the pipe faces at right angles and remove burrs using a deburring tool. b. Clean the pipe and fittings with lint free paper and cleansing agents (isopropyl alcohol or similar). c. Mark the socket depth with a scraper knife or marker on the pipe to ensure proper insertion depth of the pipe during welding. d. Thoroughly clean heater inserts before each weld. 3. Quickly push pipe and fittings in an axial direction into heater inserts until the pipe bottoms (or meets the marking). Avoid twisting while heating. Hold in place for the heat soak time (column A). 4. After the heat soak time, remove the fitting and pipe from the heating element and immediately push them together within the change over time (column B) without twisting them until both welding beads meet. The change over time is the maximum period of time between the removal from the heating element and final settings of the components. 5. Components shall be held together and allowed to cool per the specified cool down time prior to stressing the joint. Visual Inspection During the final joining step, it is important that the bead formed on the pipe meets the bead on the fitting. If the beads do not meet, a small gap will be present. Welds that have a gap between the fusion beads should be cut and rewelded (see Figure F-2). The bead on the pipe should be uniform around 360 of the pipe. Beads that vary in size or disappear altogether are a sign of improper heating and/or joining.

(Column D). Change over time is the maximum period of time when either the pipes or fittings can be separated from the heating element, yet still retain sufficient heat for fusion. Bring the melted end together to its welding pressure. 6. The heat soak time may need to be increased in cold or windy environments. Several practice welds should be conducted at the installation site to ensure welding can be performed as a test of conditions. Consult Asahi /America for any modification of weld parameters. 7. A visual inspection must be performed as well. After joining, a bead surrounding the whole circumference will have been created. A good weld will have two symmetrical beads on both the pipe or fittings almost equally sized and having a smooth surface. 8. Allow components to cool to the touch or until a fingernail cannot penetrate the bead. This is recommended in ASTM D-2857, Section 9. The pipes or fittings may be removed from the welding equipment at the completion of the specified cooling time. 9. Do not put components under stress or conduct a pressure test until complete cooling time (Column F) has been achieved.
Butt Fusion (for single wall piping systems)

The butt fusion of PP, HDPE, PVDF, and E-CTFE is accomplished with Asahi /Americas recommended butt-fusion welding equipment. Asahi /America provides welding equipment to handle all diameter sizes offered, and has an extensive line of equipment available to buy or rent for every application. The principle of butt fusion is to heat two surfaces at the melt temperature, then make contact between the two surfaces and allow the two surfaces to fuse together by application of force. The force causes flow of the melted materials to join. Upon cooling, the two parts are united. Nothing is added or changed chemically between the two components being joined. Butt fusion does not require solvents or glue to join material. Butt fusion is recognized as the industry standard, providing high integrity and reliability. It does not require couplings or added material. The procedure, recommended by Asahi /America, conforms to ASTM D-2857 for Joining Practices of Polyolefin Materials, and the recommended practices of the ASME B 31.3 Code (Chemical Plant and Petroleum Refinery Piping).
Welding Process
Once the pipes or fittings have been secured in the proper welding equipment, aligned and planed with the facing tool (planer), and the heating element warmed to the proper temperature, welding proceeds as follows: 1. Follow the welding parameters (temperature, time, and force) provided with Asahi /Americas butt-fusion equipment (see sample welding data in Table F-3). 2. Insert heating element between secured pipes or fittings, making sure full contact is made around surfaces. 3. Apply full welding pressure, as shown in (Column A), until a maximum 1/64" ridge of melted material is present around the outside circumference of both pipes or fittings. This indicates proper melt flow has been accomplished and further guarantees two parallel surfaces. 4. Reduce the pressure to the recommended melt pressure (Column B) and begin timing for recommended heat soak time (Column C). 5. At the end of the heat soak time, in a quick smooth motion, separate the pipe fitting from the heating element, then apply weld pressure (Column E). It is important to gradually increase pressure to achieve welding pressure. The weld must be performed within the allowable change over time Table F-3. Sample Welding Data

Butt Fusion (for double wall piping systems)
Installation of Duo-Pro, Fluid-Lok, and Poly-Flo piping systems involves the use of thermal butt fusion for both the carrier and containment piping. Depending on system design, the size, material, and layout will determine the required equipment. Asahi /America offers all the necessary sizes and styles of equipment for any installation type. Systems that are fully restrained and consist of the same carrier and containment materials can take advantage of the simultaneous butt-fusion method. Simultaneous fusion allows for the quickest and easiest installation by conducting the inner and outer weld all at once. For Duo-Pro designs that consist of dissimilar materials, or require the inner (carrier) piping to be loose for thermal expansion, use the staggered welding procedure. Staggered welding consists of welding the inner carrier pipe first and the containment piping second. Finally, if a leak detection cable system is required, special heating elements or procedures are provided to accommodate for pull ropes. The basic installation techniques for double containment piping systems follow the principles that apply to ordinary plastic piping applications.

ing required in the field and, in turn, reduce labor time. If an installation is pipe intensive, labor costs may be reduced by ordering prefabricated pipe spools in longer dimensions.
Welding Procedure
Welding theory for double containment is the same as for the single wall pipe. Asahi /America has developed welding tables for the appropriate heating times and forces for simultaneous fusion. The following procedure outlines the necessary steps for simultaneous fusion.
Double Wall Pipe Assembly

Pipe and fittings in a simultaneous double wall system from Asahi /America are always prefabricated at the factory and supplied to a job site ready for butt fusion. However, when varying lengths are required, in-the-field assembly is necessary. In staggered welded systems, pipe and fitting assembly is common. The basic procedure for properly assembling Duo-Pro and Fluid-Lok components is outlined below. In double containment piping assembly, proficiency in hand and extrusion welding procedures is necessary. 1. A good weld requires proper preparation of the material. The pipe should be free of any impurities such as dirt, oil, etc. Additionally, some thermoplastics develop a thin layer of oxidized molecules on the surface that require scraping or grounding of the material. Another effect, especially with HDPE, is the migration of unchained lower density molecules to the surface caused by internal pressure of the material. This gives the usually waxy surface appearance of HDPE. Grinding or scraping is required. Wipe off any dust with a clean cloth. Do not use solvents or cleaners; they introduce chemicals with unknown and likely negative effects. 2. Using Table F-4, place the molded or fabricated support spider clips, with tops aligned, on the carrier pipe, and then hot gas (PP) or extrusion weld (HDPE) the clips into place as shown in Figure F-6. Use the required amount of clips on the full lengths of the carrier pipe. Table F-4. Double Containment Internal Support Spacing (inches)

Simultaneous Butt-Fusion Method

The object of simultaneous fusion is to prepare both the carrier and containment pipe so that both pipes are fixed to each other and thus can be welded at the same time. In some systems, such as Asahi /Americas Fluid-Lok and Poly-Flo, simultaneous fusion can only be performed due to their design. The net result of the simultaneous method is a substantial reduction of labor and equipment requirements. As previously discussed, simultaneous fusion is only applicable for welding installations having the same carrier and containment material. In addition, simultaneous fusion is used for systems that are completely restrained. Prior to using the simultaneous method, an analysis based on operating conditions is required in order to determine the suitability of a restrained design. Refer to Section C, Engineering Theory and Design Considerations, or contact the Asahi /America, Inc. Engineering Department for assistance. Equipment For simultaneous welding, standard butt-fusion equipment used for single wall systems is used. No special heating elements are required. For Duo-Pro and Fluid-Lok systems, hot air or extrusion welding equipment is necessary to weld the support discs and spider clips to the pipes. Hot air welding is not used for any pressure rated components. Fittings Fittings used for simultaneous fusion are either molded or prefabricated at the factory with the necessary support discs. Prefabricated fittings greatly reduce the amount of hot air weld-

Butt-Fusion Procedure for Double Wall Pipe without Leak Detection Cable Systems
Simultaneous fusion as outlined below is ideal for: Duo-Pro systems made of similar carrier and containment material Fluid-Lok HDPE systems Restrained double wall systems only All Poly-Flo systems Fusing Duo-Pro and Fluid-Lok is accomplished with Asahi / Americas recommended butt-fusion welding equipment. Asahi /America provides welding equipment to handle all diameters and system configurations. Equipment is available for rental or purchase. The principle of butt fusion is to heat two surfaces at a fusion temperature, then make contact between the two surfaces and allow the two surfaces to fuse together by application of force. After cooling, the original interfaces are gone and the two parts are united. Nothing is added or changed chemically between the two pieces being joined. Butt fusion is recognized in the industry as a cost effective joining method of very high integrity and reliability. The procedure recommended by Asahi /America conforms to ASTM D-2857 for Joining Practices of Polyolefin Materials, and the recommended practices of the ASME B 31.3 Code (Chemical Plant and Petroleum Refinery Piping). The procedure is outlined as follows: Once the pipes or fittings have been secured in the proper welding equipment with the tops and annular space aligned and the heating element warmed to the proper temperature, welding should proceed as follows: 1. Follow the welding parameters provided with Asahi /America butt-fusion equipment (see sample welding data in Table F-5). Table F-5. Sample Welding Data

Figure F-7. Carrier pipe and spider clips inserted into containment pipe 4. For simultaneous welding, end centralizers, known as support discs, are hot air or extrusion welded to the carrier and containment pipes. This prevents any movement of the carrier pipe during the butt-fusion process. The alignment must match that of the spider supports for the installation of leak detection cables, as well as for leak flow. In fitting assemblies, install end centralizers only. All centralizers are installed approximately 1" from the ends using 4 mm welding rod.

At the end of the heat soak time, in a quick smooth motion, separate either the pipes or fittings, remove the heating element, then apply weld pressure (Column E). It is important to gradually increase pressure to achieve welding pressure in Column E. The weld must be performed within the allowable change over time (Column D). Change over time is the maximum period of time when either the pipes or fittings can be separated from the heating element, yet still retain sufficient heat for fusion. Bring the melted end together to its welding pressure.

As a test of environmental conditions, several practice welds should be done at the installation site to ensure welding can be performed. Consult with Asahi /America for recommendations on cold weather welding. 8. A visual inspection must be performed as well. After joining, a bead surrounding the whole circumference must have been created. A good weld will have a symmetrical bead on both pipes or fittings and will have a smooth surface.

The mirror design, as shown in Figure F-14, is capable of splitting apart and wrapping around a wire. The small hole centered at the bottom of the heater allows a pull wire to be in place during the fusion process. Once the pipe is heated, the heating element is split apart and removed, leaving the wire in place for the final pipe joining.

Staggered Butt-Fusion Method
Using the staggered fusion procedure to assemble a Duo-Pro system is more complicated and labor intensive than simultaneous fusion. However, it offers the ability to install a double containment system with a flexible inner pipe or with different carrier and containment materials. Asahi /America provides all the necessary equipment for this welding method. In staggered welding, the carrier pipe is welded first, followed by the containment pipe. In a staggered system there are no end support discs. This allows for movement of the carrier components. It is important to plan which welds will be made and in what order. Enough flexibility is required to move the inner pipe out from the outer pipe to perform a carrier weld. In long straight runs the procedure is simple, due to significant carrier pipe movement. In systems that are fitting intense, the procedure becomes more difficult, because the pipe movement is limited to the amount of annular space between the carrier and containment fittings (see Figure F-19). Welding Procedure 1. Begin by attaching spider clips to the carrier pipe (follow steps in double wall pipe assemblies). 2. Insert carrier pipe or fittings into the appropriate containment line. At the start of a system, it may be easier to weld the carrier first and then slide the containment pipe over the carrier pipe. However, as the installation moves along, this will not be possible. Note: If containment piping has been roughly cut, make sure to plane it prior to welding the carrier pipe. Once the carrier is welded, the containment pipe cannot be planed. 3. In the machine, use the two innermost clamps to hold the carrier pipe for welding. Use the outer clamps to hold containment pipe in place. In cases where movement is limited, fitting clamps will be necessary to hold the carrier pipe. 4. Once all pieces are locked in place, weld the carrier pipe using standard butt-fusion techniques (see Figures F-19 A and F-19 B). 5. Once the carrier weld is complete, remove the inner clamps and pull the containment pipe together for welding (see Figures F-19 C and F-19 D). At this point, switch all clamps to containment sizing. It may be preferable to use two machines to eliminate the constant changing of clamps. Also, in some designs, two machines may be required to weld the two different diameter pipes. 6. To weld the containment pipe, a split annular mirror is required (see Figure F-19 F). The mirror is hinged to let it wrap around the carrier pipe while welding the containment pipe. 7. It is important to ensure the mirror is properly centered so it does not rest on and melt the carrier pipe. 8. Once the mirror is in place, the welding procedure is the same as standard single wall butt fusion.

WELDING METHODS
Helpful Hints When welding PVDF and Halar, move swiftly when removing the mirror and joining the pipes. Delayed reaction will cause material to cool and a cold weld to form. PVDF and Halar cool off more quickly than polypropylene. Always plan welding so the longest and heaviest section of pipe is positioned on the stationary side of the welding machine. Start at one end and work to the other end of the pipe system. Do not start on two different ends and meet in the middle. Moving the pipe for welding will be extremely difficult or impossible. When planing, long strips indicate you are flush all the way around. Consult the factory for a proper equipment recommendation for the system being installed. Machines are extremely adaptable and can be positioned in many ways to accommodate difficult welds.

IR Fusion
Improving upon conventional butt fusion, IR welding uses a non-contact method. IR welding uses the critical welding parameters of heat soak time, change over time, and joining force as found with butt fusion. However, by avoiding direct contact with the heating element, IR fusion produces a cleaner weld with more repeatable and smaller bead sizes. The end result is a superior weld for high-purity applications. The graph in Figure F-21 outlines the forces applied during the non-contact joining process. Notice that the ramp up force to full joining pressure is a smooth curve where force is gradually ascending over time. Even force build-up is critical to join material without creating a cold joint.
WELDING METHODS
Ramping up and monitoring the force is critical for repeatable and successful IR welding. This ensures the molten material has joined at the right force and prevents against cold welds, which are caused by the molten material being overly pushed to the inside and outside of the weld zone.
Heater Pipe Pipe
Start of Heating
Welding Process
Material is prepared for IR fusion by preparing smooth arid level surfaces among the ends to be joined. Butting the material against an internal planer acts as a centering and leveling device. The planer is then used to cut a clean and smooth surface. The material should then be checked for vertical and horizontal alignment. Welding machines should allow for minor adjustments to the vertical and horizontal orientation of the material. Once alignment has been verified, the material is heated by close proximity to the heating source. Through radiant heat and proper heat soak time, the material becomes molten to allow physical bonding between the two pieces.

HPF Fusion
The HPF welding technology is an electric socket fusion system that joins Purad PVDF piping components, providing a smooth internal surface.
Welding Process
Pipes and/or fittings are to be planed except standard 90s, which are planed at the factory. The HPF coupling is placed in the wide mounting clamp. Using the mechanical stop on the clamp, the pipe is centered in the coupling. The pipe or fitting ends should be tight against each other without a gap. Once the components are fixed in the clamp, the leads are connected and the proper welding times and voltage are scanned through a bar code reader. The entire welding process from this point is automatic and controlled by the HPF unit. HPF provides a weld without any internal obstruction or any outside contamination. Since the coupling is the heating element and is closed to the external environment, contamination is avoided during the fusion process. HPF uses most butt-fusion fittings. Extended leg fittings are not required. HPF welding is capable of being conducted with or without an internal balloon. With the balloon, the joint is completely smooth without any bead or seam. Without the balloon, the joint is still beadless. The advantage of HPF is that all joints within its size range can be conducted without the need of a union, flange, or alternative welding method. Use the HPF Operation Manual for further details on weld procedures.

Side-Wall Fusion
Side-wall fusion is a process that allows branch outlets of smaller diameter pipes to be fused to the side-wall of a larger main pipe line. The side-wall procedure for polypropylene and polyethylene can be accomplished by using the manufacturers suggested equipment. Size, availability, and pricing can be obtained through Asahi /America representatives. The following steps, along with machine instructions, should be carried out to complete the fusion process: 1. Install fusion machine on the pipe (main). 2. Clean the pipe with a clean cotton cloth. Prepare surface of pipe (main) by roughing with emery cloth or equal abrasive. 3. Prepare the base of the main and tighten clamp. 4. Align branch on main and tighten clamp. 5. Check branch for square alignment on main. 6. Retract moveable clamp, roll, and center heater plate with adapter between base of branch and main. 7. For all sizes, apply a strong, firm, continuous pressure until complete melt bead can be seen on the main. Release pressure to light pressure. Continue heat soak cycle until allotted time occurs. 8. Retract moveable clamp and cleanly remove heater plate. 9. Bring melted surfaces together within allotted time. Gradually apply continuous pressure until the proper pressure is reached. Maintain pressure until joint cools and hardens.

Hand-Held Welding
Welding Instructions
The Process in General Hot air (gas) welding is the process of fusing a bead of material against a like material. This welding is common with sheet fabrication and applications not requiring pressure resistance. Asahi/America uses hot air (gas) welding to locate support discs for pipe centering in its Duo-Pro system. In hot air (gas) welding, the heat transfer medium is a heated gas, either nitrogen or clean air. Originally the use of nitrogen proved most successful, preventing material contamination and oxidation. With todays material quality and equipment technology, nitrogen is becoming less common, except with critical materials. The combination of clean, oil, and moisture free air with the controlled temperature proves equally successful, eliminating the continuous expense of the inert gas. The temperature of the hot air ranges between 300 C 350 C for HDPE and 280 C 330 C for PP, when outside welding conditions are about 20 C. The temperature range will vary with changing ambient conditions. To accomplish high-quality welds, it is important the fillers (welding rod) are of the same material and type. The most common welding fillers are 3 mm and 4 mm round. There are also special profiles, such as oval and triangular rods. The welding tip used must also match the cross section of the welding rod.

Install welding tent or equivalent if weather conditions suggest. A good weld requires proper preparation of the material. The part should be free of any impurities such as dirt, oil, etc. Additionally, some thermoplastics develop a thin layer of oxidized molecules on the surface that require scraping or grounding of the material. Another effect, especially with HDPE, is the migration of unchained lower density molecules to the surface caused by internal pressure of the material. This gives the usually waxy surface appearance of HDPE. Grinding or scraping of the surface is required. Wipe off any dust with a clean cloth. Do not use solvents or cleaners; they introduce chemicals with unknown and likely negative effects. The forms of the welding seams on plastic components generally correspond with the welding seams on metal parts. In particular, pay attention to the general principles for the formation of the welding seams. The most important welding seam forms are: V-weld, Double V-weld, T-weld, and Double T-weld.

WELDING METHODS
Tack Welding The initial step in the welding process is the tack weld. The objective is to put the parts into place, align them, and prevent any slippage of the material during the structural welding process. Welder should use own discretion when applying an intermittent or continuous tack. Larger structures and thick gauged materials may require addition clamping. High-Speed Welding In this process a filler material, the welding rod, is introduced into the seam to give supportive strength. Standard rod profiles are round or triangular. Triangular rod is a single supportive weld and does not allow for the kind of surface penetration achieved with round welding rod. Round welding rod is used where heavy-duty welds are required. It allows the fabricator to lay several beads of welding rod on top of each other. This way, a relatively thin welding rod can be used to produce a strong weld. By performing a few practice welds, the welder will develop speed and force necessary to complete a successful weld. Heat the welding rod within the rod-drawing nozzle and push into the welding groove. The force applied on the rod controls the speed of the welding. The operator should look for a small bead of melted rod on both sides. Apply additional welds to fill the groove.

This process is much slower than high-speed welding, but it must be used where very small parts are being welded, or where the available space prohibits the use of high-speed welding tips. The only nozzle used in this process is a small jet pipe with an opening of 1/8" or 5/32" to concentrate the heat. The welder performs a waving action of the nozzle at the base material and the welding rod with an up and down and side to side motion to bring the rod and material to melting form. Hand apply pressure vertically at 90 to begin. After reaching the correct amount of pressure and heat to the rod and base material, a small wave of molten material forms in front of the welding rod. If bent backward, the

Extrusion welding is an alternative to multiple pass hand welding and can be used whenever physically possible to operate the extruder. Extrusion welding is used for joining low pressure piping systems, construction of tanks and containers, for joining liners (for buildings, linings for ground work sites), as well as special tasks. This welding technique is characterized as follows: 1. Welding process is performed with welding filler being pressed out of a compound unit. 2. The welding filler is homogenous with the material being joined. 3. The joining surfaces have been heated to welding temperature. 4. Perform joining under pressure.

WELDING METHODS
An extruder uses either pellets or welding rods as a filler material. Do not use pellets or rods of unknown origin, uncontrolled composition, or regenerated material for welding. Make sure the filler is dry and clean before beginning the welding process. The extrusion welder includes a melting chamber with an extrusion screw, driven by an electric motor. With the pellet extruder, the pellets are gravity fed from a hopper into the melting chamber. A rod extruder has a feed mechanism attached to the rear of the extrusion screw that pulls the welding rod into the melting chamber. The adjusting surfaces of the parts to be welded are heated up to the welding temperature by means of hot air passing out of the PTFE nozzle on the welding device. The welding filler, continuously flowing out of the extruder device, is pressed into the welding groove. The welding pressure is applied onto the PTFE nozzle, directly fastened at the extruder end, which corresponds to the welding seam. The discharged material pushes the welder ahead determining the welding speed.
Equipment and Procedure For extrusion welding, a portable welding device consisting of a small extruder and a device for generating hot air is the most common.
A = 0.7 x S N = 1.4 x S
NOTE: If material thickness does not match, use the s value from the thicker material to calculate bead size.
Figure F-31. Guideline for calculation of extrusion bead size
Visual Inspection
The primary function of the operator is to ensure sufficient pressure be applied along with maintaining proper speed. Too little pressure will result in the molten mass not being formed into the final bead, and too much speed will cause the bead to thin. Both of these mistakes are easy to spot on the finished product.
Lap Joint
In order to accomplish sufficient heating and thorough welding, it is necessary to provide an air gap depending on wall thickness (width of air gap should be 1 mm minimum).
Testing
The means for non-destructive testing are limited. Therefore, visual checking of the weld appearance becomes important. A good weld on thermoplastic material will show a slight distortion along the edge of the welding rod, indicating proper heat and pressure. Changes of the surface appearance of the base material right next to the weld indicated proper preheat temperature. A uniform appearance of this area indicates constant welding speed. If bead shows no distortion, the bead lacked proper pressure. Combine no distortion with a shinny appearance, the bead lacks proper pressure and too much speed. On the other end of the scale, a too high welding temperature or too slow a welding speed will overheat the base material, and/or welding rod. Overheating PP or PE will result in the bead looking extremely shinny and small splashes of material seem to spray away from the bead. In pipe seams, the best method for testing is to conduct a hydrostatic pressure test according to Asahi /America procedures.

Electro-Fusion Welding
Electro fusion is a simplified and safe method of joining pipe and/or fittings based on melting the outer surface of the pipe and the inner surface of the electro-fusion coupling using an integral electric wire. Electro fusion is a cost effective method for joining polypropylene and HDPE pipe. As an alternative to butt fusion, electro fusion can be used for repairs, double containment assembly and difficult connections in tight quarters.

The control box has a computerized command system for fully automatic control and energy supply monitoring. Each fitting has a bar code label, which contains the information needed for correct fusion. The welding time is preprogrammed at the factory and set by use of the bar code. Simply scan the bar code to set up the machine for material to be joined.
Preparation before Welding
Cut pipe at right angles and mark the insert length (insert length = socket length /2). To obtain successful welding, it is essential to clean and scrape the surface of the parts to be joined. In addition, cuts must be straight to ensure proper insertion into the coupling. Scraping must be done using a proper hand-operated or mechanical scraper. Do not use tools such as rasp, emery paper, or sand paper. Slide the socket on the prepared end of pipe right to its center stop until it reaches the marking. Insert the second pipe end (or fitting) into the socket and clamp both pipes into the holding device. The clamping device protects against the components from being pushed out during fusion.

The molten area increases and heat is transfered to the surface of the pipe, which in turn begins to melt.

HIGH-PURITY INSTALLATIONS
Installing a high-purity system properly requires preplanning. The installation is more than the welding of components. It requires the proper environment, material inventory, welding equipment, tools, and thorough training. This guide will concentrate mainly on materials such as PVDF, E-CTFE, and PP, as supplied by Asahi /America, Inc. However, certain sections in regard to fusing PFA are also inserted to assist in the assembly of a Purebond PFA piping system. Asahi /America and Agru are fully licensed by Entegris to provide IR welding for PFA Purebond piping components. The SP110 welding tool is the only tool available on the market designed and outfitted to weld PVDF, PP, E-CTFE, and PFA. This means one tool to conduct welding of all materials on an HP installation. Asahi /Americas recommendations for project management follow. Step 1. Welding Environment Step 2.

Figure F-36. Portable cleanroom Within the clean zone it is recommended to build spool pieces. The size and configuration is dependent on the ability to safely transport it to its final destination. The ends of the spool pieces should be prepared for final connection once in the pipe rack. In smaller dimensions, 1/2 " 2", the ends should be fitted with unions or sanitary fittings to reduce welds in the pipe rack, as they are more difficult. One advantage of the Purad PVDF system is the availability of the HPF welding method in 1/2 " 2". HPF is a portable welding method designed specifically for Purad. HPF provides a bead free joint, while allowing for welds in extremely tight locations. HPF welds through use of an electric socket, which melts the components together evenly without producing a bead internally. When building spool pieces, plane the ends to be welded prior to placing in the pipe rack. This avoids the need to bring planing equipment into the pipe rack. If components are properly supported once in place, HPF welds can be conducted with one clamp that is no longer than 11/2 inches. See Figure F-37 for a sample of a portable fusion.
Leads PVDF Pipe
Step 1. Welding Environment

Asahi /America does not set requirements for proper welding environments. As the installer, it is necessary to choose the environment based on the installation type, timing, or quality goal. In all cases, the environment for welding should be monitored to ensure the temperature is in the range of 41 F to 105 F. The humidity should not exceed 70%. If using IR fusion, wind must be avoided. All PuradTM PVDF components are manufactured and packaged in a cleanroom environment. Great care is taken to ensure that they arrive on the project site in protective packaging to maintain their purity. To be consistent, it is ideal to conduct welds in a clean or cleanroom environment. Particles, dust, or dirt in the air will adhere to the pipe during the welding process. To reduce contamination in the system, as many welds as possible should be conducted in a clean type environment. A class 100 or 1000 room is perfectly suitable. Portable style cleanrooms make for an efficient set up when conducting all the welds on site.
Proper Support HPF Clamp
Figure F-37. Portable HPF fusion makes welding in the rack reliable In sizes larger than 2", it is recommended to build spool pieces with flange connections. This avoids having to conduct difficult butt-fusion welds in tight locations. Flanged spool pieces also offer the benefit of being able to make changes later. In some instances, field welds can or must be conducted in a pipe rack. For these occasions, the use of contact butt-fusion equipment to ensure proper heating for larger diameter pipe is recommended. Consult with Asahi /Americas Engineering Department for specific tool selection and weld procedure recommendations.

Socket Fusion
Socket fusion is the oldest and simplest method for assembling thermoplastic materials. Socket fusion is available for welding PVDF (SDR 21) and PP in sizes 1/2 " 4". In socket fusion, material is in direct contact with the heat source. The pipe is inserted into a heated mandrel and the pipes exterior becomes molten. Fittings are inserted over a mandrel and the interior becomes molten. After proper heat soak time has been accomplished, the two components are forced together until they bottom-out.
Many installations do not require the same level of purity and care as others. Polypropylene is often chosen as a cost effective alternative to PVDF for these installations. In these cases, a cleanroom environment may not be necessary. It is still recommended to have a dedicated welding zone. The welding area should be clean and measures should be taken to reduce foot traffic through the area. Keeping the tools in one location reduces wear and tear, as well as the possibility of physical damage during a transport. In all HP installations it is necessary to have a set of dedicated tools, such as levels, pipe cutters, tape measures, etc. Keep these tools dedicated to the high-purity installation to avoid cross contamination with other non-purity installations.
Air Movement
Finally, in all cases, it is preferable to weld in ambient temperature environments of 20 to 25 C. The avoidance of windy areas and fans is also recommended. When using welding methods such as IR fusion, it is absolutely required to avoid air movement in the weld zone. For other methods such as butt or socket, wind is not as troublesome, but should be avoided if possible as it raises the chances of contamination, as well as improper heating of the pipe components.
F
Figure F-38. Hand-held socket fusion for 1/2" 2" Socket fusion is fairly tolerant to temperature conditions and is simple to do. Untrained personnel can be trained in a short period of time to make consistent and reliable joints. The disadvantage of socket fusion is that it provides the most uneven weld of all the methods. Beads are formed on the pipe and fitting and final stop position is random, depending on the operator. Mechanically the weld is reliable, but smooth, clean welds are more difficult to achieve consistently. Additionally, weld inspection is limited as the weld area is not visible from the outside. Socket fusion is ideal for smaller systems and is quite simple and practical for welding 1/2 " through 1". Systems consisting primarily of 3 (90 mm) and 4 (110 mm) may be better suited for IR or butt fusion.
Step 2. Tool Selection

The selection of the type of welding method conducted on a high-purity project should be based on the following criteria: Material Sizes to be installed Welding location Type of installation Available expertise Required documentation
Materials available for high-purity water and chemical systems are PVDF, polypropylene (natural and pigmented), and HalarTM (E-CTFE). PVDF is the most common choice due to its low ion extractable and surface smoothness. In addition, the Purad PVDF system is available in a wide selection of sizes and pressure ratings, as well as having a full complement of specialty valves and fittings that are specifically designed for ultra pure systems. Table F-6 identifies by material type welding methods available from Asahi /America. Discussions on each method and the advantages of each method for installing HP systems follows. Table F-6. Available Welding

Purad PVDF- HP Proline PP PolyPure PP Halar E-CTFE PFA (Purebond) (by material)
Butt Fusion
The butt-fusion welding method was pioneered by Asahi /America for use in high-purity systems. Butt fusion offers smaller, cleaner, and stronger welds as compared to socket fusion. Butt fusion allows visual inspection of the weld quality through an examination of the bead formation. It is available in all sizes and all materials offered by Asahi /America. Multiple styles of equipment are available and vary from small, light manual tools to large diameter, hydraulic driven equipment. Butt fusion is ideal for all dimensions, and proves quite practical in sizes 1" through 12". See Figures F- 39, F-40 and F-41 for examples of tool types.

During the butt-fusion process, components are forced against a flat heating element or plate to melt the ends for the fusion. At the completion of heating, the materials are joined together at a force proportionate to the welding surface area. The result is a clean, double bead formation. Since the material is in contact with the heating element, there is the slight possibility of contamination if the heat plate is not properly cleaned and maintained throughout the project. In addition, molten plastic can also adhere to the heating plate if not properly released from the plate at the conclusion of the heat soak period. The advantage of butt fusion is its weld strength. When properly conducted it is a strong, reliable joint. Butt fusion can be done in any size range, reducing the training time at the job start-up. In addition, butt fusion is fairly weather tolerant. This does not mean it can be conducted in any environment, but it will work in conditions other methods will not. An advantage of working with Asahi /Americas system is the availability of multiple equipment and methods. For a given project, IR fusion may be the primary welding method; however, if field welds are required, butt fusion is the method of choice in many sizes. It reduces risks when welding outside or in areas with significant air movement.
Figure F- 39. Shop 4 (1/2" 4")
IR Fusion
IR fusion has become the welding method of choice in ultra pure semiconductor water and chemical systems. It should also be considered for pure water systems in pharmaceutical and biotech applications. IR fusion has many of the advantages of butt fusion, but eliminates the concerns of contacting the heating element. IR fusion is available in sizes 1/2 "10" and multiple styles of equipment. PVDF, polypropylene, and Halar can be welded with IR equipment. IR fusion equipment is highly sophisticated. Asahi /America offers two styles of equipment: the UF2000 series and the new acclaimed SP series. Both tools are computer driven and offer a high level of quality control. Figures F- 42 and F-43 depict both styles of tools in terms of traceability and weld documentation. Figure F- 40. Shop 12 (11/2" 12")

Figure F- 45. Cross-sectional view of IR joint IR fusion is recommended for controlled environments where temperature is consistent and air flow levels can be minimized. IR fusion equipment is designed for bench/shop style work and should not be hoisted into pipe racks. Figure F-43. UF 2000/1 (1/2" 2") Built-in printers provide data labels at the end of each weld, identifying the process was properly conducted, the material programmed, and the dimensions welded. Weld labels also provide the date and time of the fusion, as well as the joint number for physical tracking. See Figure F- 44.
HPF Fusion
HPF is portable, bead free fusion method for welding sizes 1/2 " through 2". HPF is ideally suited for pure water systems in the Pharmaceutical Industry. In addition, HPF is extremely practical for welding in tight locations, whether in the pipe rack or under a sub floor. HPF is only available currently for PVDF material. For conducting beadless fusion, HPF is provided with two options: with balloon and without. For beadless and seam free welds, balloons are available. This ensures a smooth weld and no crevice. Joints welded with balloon will have a small wave in the joint due to the weight of the coupling and the outward force of the inflated balloon. Sometimes it is not possible to place a balloon in the weld area and then be able to remove it after, such as in the case of a repair or addition. For this reason, HPF can also be conducted without a balloon. These joints will also be beadless, but will have a small seam around the joint. In comparison to alternatives, such as a union or flange, it provides a smaller seam without a gasket.

Figure F- 44. Weld label from a SP tool On-board computers also provide control of the welding process and data logging of each weld. Data can be downloaded on each weld at any time to verify the quality of the system. IR fusion for Asahi /America systems enhances the weld quality. The bead formation is consistent, making weld inspection more reliable. The bead formation is greatly reduced when compared to socket or contact butt fusion. The welds are smoother, more rounded, due to a reduction of excess molten material and weld force required. The net result is a cleaner and more reliable weld. Figure F-45 is a cross-sectional view of a pipe wall welded with IR fusion.

the end. The pipe is then sleeved in a large single PE bag and heat sealed on both ends. Finally, the entire pipe is placed in a hard HDPE tube and capped. Tubes are labeled appropriately, identifying the product and size inside. See Figure F-47 for a typical pipe package.
Figure F- 46. HPF equipment Figure F-47. High-purity PVDF packaging
HPF uses an electric socket for each weld, and is energized by a computer controlled transformer. Weld parameters are preprogrammed into the control unit and selected via a bar code reader. The HPF is available in a bench type configuration, as well as having accessories for working in tight quarters. HPF is recommended for welding in or outside of a cleanroom environment. During the weld process, HPF is closed to the external environment, so issues of wind, temperature, and contamination are greatly reduced. HPF is the tool of choice for repairs or additions to an existing system. HPF is available for PVDF in sizes 1/2 " 2".
In sizes 11/4" (40 mm) and larger, there is a single pipe per tube. In sizes 1/2 "1", there are multiple pipes per tube. Purad uses hard PE tubes that provide superior protection from contamination in the environment. Hard HDPE tubes provide protection from moisture, dragging, and outside dust and dirt. The use of cardboard tubes has been forbidden due to its nature of particle generation. Cardboard protective tubes will create particles that can contaminate a cleanroom environment. Preferably, pipe should be stored inside or in a trailer. Care should be taken to properly support pipe during storage. Use the hanging criteria for the proper support distance. Pipe can be stacked during storage. Heavier pipes of larger dimensions should be stored at the bottom; however, it may prove more practical to segregate by size for easier access during the project. Pipe should not be stacked above the maximum height of 4 feet. Storage should be in the HDPE tube. When ready to transport pipe into the clean zone, open the outer cap on the HDPE tube. Place the tube next to the clean zone entry and slide the pipe directly from the tube into the cleanroom. This will eliminate any need of wiping down the bag prior to entry. In the cleanroom, remove the single bag if ready for immediate usage. If stored in the clean environment, it is preferred to leave the pipe in its original packaging. When ready for welding, remove all packaging and caps. Remember to save the caps for sealing the ends of prefabricated spool pieces.
Step 3. Material Handling

Purad PVDF and HP Specifications
TM
High-purity Purad components are received from the factory in special packaging to ensure its purity. Fittings and valves are double packaged in a class 100 cleanroom immediately after production and cleaning. Double bagged fittings are shipped in protective boxes. Valves are shipped in individual boxes. Once on site, fittings should be inspected for damage from the transport. Damaged fittings and /or packaging should be set aside. If welding in a cleanroom or clean environment, remove the outer bag in a staging area and store the fitting inside the cleanroom in the single bag until ready for use. It is recommended to store the fittings in plastic bins within the cleanroom and not to use a cardboard box within a clean environment. Label bins on size and fitting style. Pipe is also packaged in a class 100 cleanroom environment at the factory. At the final stage of extrusion, pipe is sealed on the end with a piece of PE sheet and a hard PE cap is placed over

the seminar. On simple installations, it may be faster; and on more complex installations, it may be longer. It is important that only personnel who will be conducting the weld operation during the project participate in the training to reduce the distraction within the class. A third party QC should attend the full training course to fully understand the welding process and QC parameters.
PolyPure and Pure Polypropylene Systems

PolyPure is a natural polypropylene system made available specifically for pure water and chemical systems. PolyPure fittings and valves are single bagged (unless specified otherwise). Fittings are shipped in protective boxes and valves are packed in individual boxes. Pipe is capped and bagged after production. It is shipped wrapped and protected, depending on the quantity of pipes required for the project. PolyPure fittings should be left in their bag and brought into the clean zone as is. If for some reason the outside of the bag is contaminated, it should be wiped down with IPA prior to entering the clean zone. Valves should be handled in the same manner. Pipes can remain in their shipping packaging until ready for use or transported into the fabrication cleanroom.
Preparation
To best use training time, preparation should be made prior to the trainers arrival on site. A recommended list of preparations follows. Ensure that project material is on site. It is not critical to have all material, but enough to start the project. Once training is complete, it is practical for the trainer to oversee the beginning portion of the installation. Many times new questions and challenges arise once the actual installation starts. In addition, if there is a significant period of time between the training and actual installation, operators may forget portions of the training or different operators may now be slated for the welding operation. Both scenarios require additional training. Ensure required tools are on site. Do not open the tools until a certified trainer is present. If more tools are ordered during a project, this is no longer required as proper unpacking and set up of the equipment is covered in the training process. Ensure that the correct power is available. Many pieces of equipment require 220 Volt single or three phase power supply. Consult with the factory or distributor at the time of tool ordering. If possible, have a conference room with an overhead projector available for the classroom portion of the training. If this is not available, select an area where all personnel will be able to see and hear the trainer for this portion of the discussion. Ensure that pipe samples are available for the training session. Asahi /America does not normally provide samples for the training. Formal training can be the key factor in starting a project off in the right direction. Take advantage of this service while on site. Asahi /America also offers field technicians for hire to oversee project welding and training for any specified amount of time. Contact Asahi /America for more information.
Step 4. Training and Preparation

An ultra pure water or chemical system is a critical utility within a plants operation. An unplanned shutdown can prove to be more costly than the water piping construction itself. One bad weld can cause hours of repair and frustration, as well as significant lost revenue. For these reasons it is critical to receive training at the time of job start-up and use certified personnel throughout the course of a project. Tool operation is only one of several factors in a thorough training course. Operators, inspectors, and managers need to understand the physical nature of the material: how to properly handle it, how to inspect welds, how to identify potential problems, how to properly maintain equipment, and finally, how best to tie into a line and test it. All of the above topics are discussed during Asahi /Americas certified training sessions. For the installation of a high-purity system, the following training sessions are available: Tool Operator Training Quality Control Inspection Level 3 Operator/Controller (SP equipment only) In addition to the above on-site training, Asahi /America also offers courses that are held at the corporate office for the following topics: Certified Maintenance and Repair (SP and UF equipment only) Certified Trainer (prerequisites apply) Consult with Asahi /Americas Engineering Department for dates and availability of corporate programs. During the on-site training process, Asahi /America certified trainers will set recommendations for the class size based on the tool type. In general, groups of four are recommended for the welding operation portion of the training. Typically, two groups can be certified in one day on the welding portion of
Step 5. Tool Commission and Daily Checks

Checking equipment and welding technique daily is recommended. This is particularly important on larger projects where there are many welders on site. This daily check will allow QA to ensure all welders are up to speed on tool operation, welding technique, and inspection. Most problems in the field occur due to improper usage of equipment, rather than equipment failure.
ASAHI /AMERICA
Rev. EDG 02/A
F-25
During the initial training of the project, many welds are produced in the presence of a qualified trainer. These welds should be kept and used for the daily checks. Each welder should conduct one coupon test weld and submit it to QA. The coupons should be compared to initial samples. Inspection should include bead formation, sizing, and weld label. It is required to conduct preventive maintenance to the equipment at the beginning of each day. The maintenance recommended varies on each weld tool type. Consult the Operation Manual for items to be checked daily. In all cases, tools need to be kept clean and free of debris. Weld shavings should be removed at all times. By keeping equipment in good operating condition and ensuring all operators are up to speed, tool problems or welding errors are less lightly to occur.
When inspecting weld labels, items to look for include the following: Correct material setup Correct OD and wall thickness setup Weld parameters indicated as OK Conventional butt and socket fusion equipment do not provide labels or data recording on each weld. However, using the log in conjunction with an inspection process will decrease the chances of a failure occurring. HPF equipment also does not generate a label after each weld. The equipment does, however, store the data of each weld. This information can be printed any time on 81/2" by 11" paper. Consult the HPF Operation Manual for details on printing weld data.
Step 6. Weld Inspection

To ensure a safe and on-time system start-up, initiating a standard inspection process on each project is recommended. This quality assurance measure can be conducted by third party QC or can be done by each individual operator after each weld. A recommended inspection report for recording quality assurance on each weld is attached at the end of Section F. Use the recommendation of this weld inspection guide in conjunction with the equipment manual to achieve the best project results.
Bead Formations
Depending on the type of fusion machine being used and the material being joined, the bead formations will vary slightly. However, the basic concept of inspection applies to each weld and material, with only slight differences.
Bead Formations: PVDF IR Non-Contact Butt Fusion

The Purad PVDF system has a unique and characteristic weld that makes inspection simplified. Details are shown in Figures F-49 and F-50 of normal welds from both a UF2000 and the SP series. In general, the weld formations are similar. The SP equipment has tighter controls, thus allowing for the smallest weld formation on the market.
Inspection Labels
IR equipment is designed to help guard against the possibilities of cold welds or incomplete fusion. The label feature should be used in a manner to track all welds. Information can either be handwritten into the log book, or the entire label can be placed into the log. It is important to tag the pipe joint physically with the weld number for traceability. In the case of the SP series, up to three labels can be printed at the time of the weld; one for the book, one for the pipe, and one for other use. An example of a weld label follows:

WELD, OK
Figure F-48. SP series label Using the weld label helps the inspector to ensure the operators are running the equipment in the correct fashion to produce continuous and reliable fusion welds. If the tool was operated incorrectly, the error numbers on the welding label will easily identify it. Any joint with a printed error code is required to be cut and done again. Figure F-49. UF2000 IR weld-PVDF
F-26
ASAHI /AMERICA
Rev. EDG 02/A
Figure F-52. IR weld On both IR and conventional butt fusion, there will be a variation in the welds when welding pipe-to-pipe, pipe-to-fitting, and fitting-to-fitting. Since PVDF fittings have a higher melt flow index than PVDF pipe, they tend to flow more when melted. This effect translates into the fitting bead being generally larger than the pipe bead.
Bead Formations: PVDF Socket Fusion

Socket fusion joints can be inspected for bead formation as well. The most important factor of inspecting a socket joint is to ensure the pipe bead and the fitting bead are in contact with each other. After melting the pipe and fitting in the heating mandrels, it is necessary to ensure proper insertion of the pipe into the melted socket fitting. Not meeting the full socket depth can leave a small gap between the pipe and fitting where the pipe has thinned wall thickness due to the melting. In the event of this occurrence, the weld should be rejected and redone. Figure F-53 is a drawing of the proper bead formation in a socket weld.
No Gap No Gap
Figure F-50. SP series IR weld-PVDF When inspecting IR fusion, look for primarily consistent and uniform welding joints. Since both ends of the components being joined are melted, there will be a seam down the middle of the joint with almost equal amounts of bead material on either side. The more sophisticated the tool, such as the SP, the more difficult it is to view the seam. The joints are generally smooth on the outer surface and slightly larger on the outside as compared to the inner bead. Due to the effects of gravity during the melting process, it will be common to see a slight variation on the top and bottom of the pipe after the fusion is complete. Refer to the individual tool guide for specifics on how and when to reject a fusion weld. Each guide also has a table on the bead size measurements and tolerances. Measuring each weld is not practical, but for welds in question it may prove to be a useful tool.
Figure F-53. Proper socket weld Conducting a sample weld is recommended on a periodic basis, as well as with each new operator. After the sample weld is complete, cut the weld into two pieces and inspect the insertion depth. Since manual socket fusion equipment is available, the results of quality will vary from operator to operator. It is important to verify all welders are not under or over inserting the pipe into the socket fitting.
Bead Formations: PVDF Conventional Butt Fusion

Conventional butt-fusion welds have the same basic formation as an IR weld; however, they are slightly larger and have a pronounced roll back. Contact butt welds have a seam in the middle and a bead on either side. Below is a cross-sectional view of a butt and IR weld to see the difference in bead formation. In butt fusion, the inspection process consists of examining each weld for the double weld 360 around the pipe. The disappearance of the double bead formation and drastic reduction in bead size can indicate that a problem existed during the fusion process.
Bead Formations: PVDF Beadless Fusion

HPF is a non-bead forming weld process. The inspection on HPF is simplified since the socket coupling itself covers the weld. When welding with balloon, the indicator on the side of each fitting can identify proper fusion. The plastic indicator will push out from the HPF coupling due to the heat from the weld. This device, much like a turkey timer, indicates that the fitting has been properly heated. When welding without balloon, the indicator will not necessarily push out.
Figure F-51. Butt weld
ASAHI /AMERICA
Rev. EDG 02/A
F-27
Bead Formations: PFA

PFA material, in particular PurebondTM pipe from Entegris, can also be fused using the SP110 IR fusion tool. Welding PFA takes on a slightly different process and, therefore, the bead size and shape is slightly different than that of any material supplied by Asahi /America. The method for weld tracking and data logging for PP, E-CTFE, and PFA is the same as for welding PVDF in the SP110 welding equipment.
Bubbles in the Joint

In the fusion process, it is possible to find tiny bubbles trapped in the welded region primarily on the outer bead. This may be most noticeable with PVDF, for its clear nature allows it to be visible. These bubbles are a common occurrence in non-contact butt fusion. The bubbles are from one of two sources; either air has been trapped in the weld during the joining process, or small vacuums appear due to material shrinkage during the cooling down time. In either case, the bubbles are not an area of concern and there is no specification for the size of a bubble that would cause a joint failure. The combination of the welding parameters and the melt flow index of the Solef PVDF resin help to ensure against tiny bubbles affecting the quality of the joint.
Figure F-54. HPF indicator The HPF equipment shows the weld count on the screen of each weld. This number should be logged on the supplied charts. In addition, the data from each weld can be printed using a standard dot matrix printer. The tracking of the joint on the pipe, the log, and the tool printout allows quality assurance to track each weld to ensure welds in the system were conducted properly. In addition, the printout will indicate the method of welding on each joint, balloon or without balloon. Other techniques employed with HPF to ensure proper insertion depth is the marking of the depth. When setting a component into the clamp and centering it, mark the side of the component up tight against the clamp. This mark will allow inspectors to verify the pipe was properly installed into the clamp after the weld is completed. The distance of the mark to the side of the coupling will be identical for each dimensional size. Marks that are too close or too far to the coupling should be rejected. Not carefully inserting the fitting and centering it into the coupling may cause problems. Since the process is controlled with bar coding the parameters and computer control of the heating and cooling, the welding process itself is extremely reliable. The proper set up is the main variable that is the responsibility of the operator.
Limitations of Inspection
As mentioned in Step 1 (Welding Environment), the IR equipment is designed to assist in preventing against a cold weld. A cold weld is a weld that has either not been heated properly or has been joined together with improper force. In both cases, there is insufficient molten material that is joined together to create a proper fusion of the materials. The other type of welding error that can occur is incomplete fusion. This type of error occurs typically from the following types of errors: 1. Air movement. 2. Incorrect capping of the joints. 3. Chimney effect in 90 elbows turned upward. 4. Incorrect welding parameters such as OD and wall thickness. 5. Poor planing or alignment. These errors can usually be identified and replaced prior to system test. To identify these types of welds, look for the following symptoms: 1. Significantly decreased bead size in certain sections of the joint. 2. Significantly decreased bead size all around as compared to other joints of the same size. 3. No bead formation in one section of the weld. 4. Misalignment of open pipe in joint area. Welds that have the above problems should be cut out and replaced for safety insurance.
Bead Formations: Polypropylene and E-CTFE

Polypropylene weld inspection is similar to that of PVDF inspection. In traditional methods, such as butt and socket welding, PP fusion is extremely reliable and simple. Many of the challenges of PVDF, such as material sticking to the heating element, do not occur in polypropylene. The nature of PP makes fusion easier and a more repeatable process. Use the same methods of inspection as in PVDF. IR fusion with PP is also quite reliable. The inspection process is again the same as PVDF, except that weld beads will be larger in PP due to the thickness of PP pipe. The IR infusion of polypropylene is more difficult than PVDF due to higher joining forces. Closer attention to bead formation and QC is recommended. Halar is fused using butt or IR fusion. The weld inspection is also identical to that of PVDF.

of the pipe have been forced together in the pipe wall region. In the proper Weld 1, you can see there is material joined together in the pipe wall, as well as in the inner and outer beads. The problem with inspecting a cold weld is the outer bead is the same as a good joint. In Figure F-55, the top bead represents the outer look of the weld. It can be seen very clearly that both welds look the same according to the bead formation. Since the occurrence of a cold weld is difficult to find and inspect, the IR welding equipment from Asahi /America and Agru has been designed to measure the joining force during the fusion process. By measuring the weld force throughout the entire welding process, the possibility of a cold weld is drastically reduced. In the event of over forcing the weld, this will be identified by the tool and marked as an error on the weld label.
The cold weld is more difficult to identify, and virtually impossible to detect with the naked eye. Two cross-sectional views of a pipe wall that has been welded are shown in Figure F-55. Weld 1 is a good fusion joint, while Weld 2 is a cold weld. Notice in the cold weld there is very little material joined together in the pipe wall area. The molten material has been forced to the outer and inner bead and the unheated sections
Downloading Data /Data Transfer

All computerized IR and HPF welding equipment offered by Asahi/America will store the welding data in its memory. This data can be downloaded and printed for quality assurance purposes. Each tool will have a memory of 1,000 welds. The data on each weld can be transferred to a PC computer using software that is provided by Asahi/America. The data on each weld from a transfer provides an inspector with more information about the weld than what appears on the printout label. Figures F-56 and F-57 show examples of data from the SP series, and UF series welding machines.

Step 7. Hanging
Hanging any thermoplastic system is not that much different than hanging a metal system. Typically, the spacing between hangers is shorter due to the flexibility of plastic. In addition, the type of hanger is important. Hangers should be placed based on the spacing requirements provided in Tables F-7, F-8, and F-9. Since thermoplastic materials vary in strength and rigidity, it is important to select hanging distances based on the material you are hanging. Also, operating conditions must be considered. If the pipe is operated at a higher temperature, the amount of hangers will generally be increased. Finally, if the system is exposed to thermal cycling, the placement of hangers, guides, and anchors is critical. In these cases, the hanger locations should be identified by the system engineer and laid out to allow for expansion and contraction of the pipe over its life of operation. When selecting hangers for a system, it is important to avoid using a hanger that will place a pinpoint load on the pipe when tightened. For example, a U-bolt hanger is not acceptable for high-purity thermoplastic piping systems. See Figure F-58.
Notes: 1. Supports must be spaced according to the highest possible temperature the pipes will encounter even if the extreme condition is only temporary. 2. Support spacing is based on a liquid with a specific gravity of 1.0. Spacing should be reduced by 10% for liquids having 1.5 specific gravity, 15% for 2.0 s.g., and 20% for 2.5 s.g.

may have decreased. If drop is less than 10 psi, pump the pressure back up. At this time, the system may be fully pressurized to desired test pressure. 3. If after one hour the pressure has decreased more than 10% and ambient conditions are steady, consider the test a failure. Note the 10% value may need to be greater for larger systems. Also note that Step 2 may need to be conducted several times if there are significant thermal changes. 4. If the pressure drops less than 10% after one hour, pump the pressure back up to the test pressure. This is normal due to creep. If after 2 or 3 hours, the pressure does not drop, consider the test a success. 5. Test is to be witnessed by the quality control engineer, and be certified by the contractor. 6. Obvious leaks can be found by emptying the system and placing a 10 psi charge of clean, dry nitrogen on the system. Each joint should then be individually checked using a soapy water solution or an ultrasonic leak detection gun. Leak detection guns are available from Asahi /America. Consult factory for usage of U.S. leak detection guns. Some limitations do apply.
Hangers that secure the pipe 360 around the pipe are preferred. Thermoplastic clamps are also recommended over metal clamps, as they are less likely to scratch the pipe in the event of movement. If metal clamps are specified for the project, they should be inspected for rough edges that could damage the pipe. Ideally, if a metal clamp is being used, an elastomeric material should be used in between the pipe and the clamp. This is a must for PVDF and E-CTFE systems, which are less tolerant to scratching. Valves in a pipe system can also add significant weight and stress to a pipe system. Valves, especially metal butterfly valves and heavy diaphragm valves, must be individually supported. For more details on hanging Asahi /America systems, consult Section C, Engineering Theory and Design Considerations.
Step 8. System Testing

Prior to pressure testing, the system should be examined for the following items: 1. Pipe should be completed per drawing layout with all pipe and valve supports in place. 2. Pipe, valves, and equipment should be supported as specified, without any concentrated loads on system. 3. Pipe should be in good condition, void of any cracks, scratches, or deformation. 4. Pipe flanges should be properly aligned. All flange bolts should be checked for correct torques. 5. All joints should be reviewed for appropriate welding technique. Butt: To have two beads, 360 around the joint. Socket: To have two beads on the end of the fitting and on the outside of the pipe in contact, 360 around the joint. IR: Labels should identify weld certification by the print welding OK. Joints should have two beads 360 around the joint. Also, refer to manufacturers separate weld inspection criteria, supplied separately by Asahi /America. HPF: Conducted with balloon should be inspected for the fusion pin being popped out on all balloon joints. If any deficiencies appear, the quality control engineer should provide directions/repair.
Step 9. Repair Procedures

If a leak is found or an addition is required to an existing system, there are several options on how to make the repair. In most systems, socket or butt fusion, there is a requirement for pipe movement when making a weld. To conduct a butt or IR weld, one side of the tool moves in order to accommodate the planer, the heating element, and the final joining force. In a repair procedure, the need for movement of the existing pipe makes for the simplest repair. In all cases, weld areas and pipe components must be cleaned as in the original installation.
Flexible Pipe System

If the pipe is in an area where it can be moved, standard butt fusion or socket fusion equipment can be used. 1. Cut out the section in need of repair. It is best to conduct new tie-in welds on straight runs of pipe for easier alignment. 2. If several welds are required, prefab a spool piece on a bench and conduct only a few tie-in welds in the pipe rack. 3. Attach the tool to the existing pipe and properly support the machine to avoid sagging or stressing the pipe. 4. Conduct standard butt-fusion weld per operating procedures. It may be necessary to flex one end of the existing pipe out of the way. 5. Conduct final weld using the flexible side of the pipe system in the moving clamp.
Pressure Test
Test fluid should be deionized water, with quality level set by the quality control engineer or system owner. In all cases, tests must be done hydrostatically. Air is not acceptable. 1. Filling the system: Open the valves and vents to purge the system of any air. Slowly inject the water into the system, making sure that air does not become trapped in the system. 2. Begin pressurizing the system in increments of 10 psi. Bring the system up to 100 psi and hold. Allow system to hold pressure for a minimum of two hours and up to a recommended 12 hours. Check pressure gauge after one hour. Due to natural creep effects in plastic piping, the pressure

Depending on the size and material, repairs can also be made to systems without any movement. For Purad systems in sizes 1/2" 2", HPF welds can be conducted in place with minimal need for movement.

1. Remove the damaged section of piping. For easier alignment, it is best to conduct new tie-in welds on straight runs of pipe. 2. If several welds are required, prefab a spool piece on a bench setup and conduct only a few tie-in welds in the pipe rack. 3. Using either the large or the small alignment rack, fix two wide clamps to the existing pipe line and to the new spool piece. Make sure all components are level and properly supported. 4. Plane the ends perfectly square. It is recommended to pre-plane both ends of the spool and both ends of the existing pipe line at this point. It is also necessary to slide the second HPF coupling onto the spool at this point to avoid difficulty of placing it on the pipe after one weld is complete. 5. Slide the coupling into place using the third wide clamp and center the existing pipe in the clamp using the mechanical stop. Now bring the spool piece into the clamp until it is up tight against the existing pipe line. 6. Conduct the HPF weld per procedure for the equipment. 7. Measure the thickness of the coupling. Take half of the thickness and mark this distance from the end of the pipe. This mark identifies the location of the end of the coupling and helps to center the coupling on the two final components to be joined. Lock in place using the wide clamp. 8. Conduct the final weld according to procedure. For systems in PP or larger diameter PVDF, HPF is not available. If there is no flex for movement of the existing pipe in the region of the damaged pipe, the repair can be done using flanges or unions.

a shelter or tent should be constructed over equipment. In addition to rain, high winds and cold temperatures, below 40 F, will negatively influence the welding process.

Installing any piping system properly requires preplanning. The installation is more than the welding of components. It requires the proper environment, material inventory, welding equipment, tools, and thorough training. This guide is to assist in the planning and installation of a chemical pipe system either in a pipe rack or trench. This guide is aimed at industrial applications and not high-purity installations. This guide will concentrate mainly on materials such as PVDF, polypropylene, and E-CTFE, as supplied by Asahi /America, Inc. The practices outlined in this guide are also applicable to other materials such as PVC and C-PVC, with the exception of joining techniques.

When conducting field welds in a pipe rack or in a trench, it is important to have the location of the weld well planned. Vertical welds in any location will prove difficult to conduct and should be avoided. The field weld that connects up prefabricated spool pieces should be a pipe-to-pipe weld whenever possible. Pipe-to-pipe welds are easier to align and level, making the weld easier to conduct in possibly tight quarters. Table F-11 provides information on the various welding systems available. Table F-11.

Asahi/America does not set requirements for proper welding environments. It is necessary for the installer to choose the environment based on the installation type, timing, or quality goal. In most systems, pipe is either going into a pipe rack, beneath a floor or wall, or buried underground. In all these cases, conducting welds in the actual final location may not always be the most convenient location for welding. In fact, in most cases, it is preferable to prefabricate spool piece components and conduct final welds or hook-up in the pipe rack. If possible, set up a welding area to build the spool pieces. The weld area should be situated in an area that has reduced exposure to wind, possible rain, and extreme cold temperatures. Building spool pieces inside a weld shop may prove advantageous. A fairly controlled environment and organized work space will improve efficiency and quality of the system to be installed. Not all welding can be conducted in a shop and eventually field welds will need to be done. Some systems will be installed completely outside, with all the welds perhaps conducted in place. When welding outside, several factors have to be considered. It is always important not to weld in the rain. Rain will damage equipment and improperly influence the weld. For rainy days,

In all field welds, in the rack or in a trench, it is important to have ample room for welding equipment and to choose the proper welding equipment. In some underground installations, it may be necessary to increase the width of the trench in weld locations. Many underground systems are welded above ground and then lowered down into the trench to avoid placing equipment in narrow trenches. The same is true in crowded pipe racks. Many times it will prove more efficient to prefab spools and use flanges or unions to connect them together in the pipe rack.

The selection of the type of welding method conducted on a single wall industrial piping project should be based on the following criteria: Material Sizes to be installed Welding location Type of installation Available expertise For assembling industrial grade piping systems made from PVDF, PP, or E-CTFE, there are really three choices for assembly: butt fusion, socket fusion, and electro fusion. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. A discussion on each method for assistance in choosing the best method for each project follows.
Figure F-69. Shop 12 (11/2" 12")
Butt Fusion
During the butt-fusion process, components are forced against a flat heating element or plate to melt the ends for the fusion. Figures F-68, F-69 and F-70 show some of the systems available for this process. Figure F-70. Field (3" 12")

Socket fusion is fairly tolerant to weather conditions and is simple to do. Untrained personnel can be trained in a short period of time to make consistent and reliable joints. Mechanically the welds are reliable, and fairly easy to inspect. Socket fusion is ideal for smaller systems and is quite simple and practical for welding 1/2" 1". Systems consisting primarily of 3" and 4" are better suited for butt fusion, as the equipment is smaller and easier to use in tight locations.
The material is in contact with the heat source for a specified amount of time to allow the material time to soak in the heat and melt the pipe ends. At the end of the heat soak time, the heating plate is removed and the pipes are joined together at a force. Figure F-71 shows a brief detail of the process. The advantage of butt fusion is its weld strength. When properly conducted, it is a strong, reliable joint. Butt fusion can be done in any size range, reducing the training time at the job start-up. In addition, butt fusion is fairly weather tolerant. This does not mean it can be conducted in any environment, but it will work in conditions other methods will not.
Electro Fusion
HPF is a portable, electro-fusion process for welding PVDF in sizes 1/2" 2". HPF is the brand name for the PVDF equipment and provides the added benefit of a bead-free weld. In addition to HPF, standard electro-fusion welding for polypropylene and polyethylene are available as well. Contact Asahi /America for more information on equipment types. The HPF system for PVDF is ideal for welding in tight locations such as in pipe racks, walls, or under floors. The process works by placing the components to be welded in an electric socket fitting. The socket is electrified and the resistance of the wire heats the material and fuses it all together to make one component. Tools are supplied with computer control. Parameters are selected via a bar code system on each weld, making the process extremely reliable and exactly repeatable. Because the entire welding process takes place inside the socket, the required equipment to actually fuse the joint is small and compact.
Socket Fusion
Socket fusion is the oldest method for assembling thermoplastic materials. Socket fusion is available for welding PVDF (SDR 21) and PP in sizes 1/2" 4". Similar in nature to butt fusion, the material is in direct contact with the heat source. However, instead of melting the component ends, the pipe is forced inside a mandrel and the fitting is forced over a mandrel. After proper heat soak time has been accomplished, the two components are forced together until they bottom-out. Figure F-72 illustrates a brief outline of the process.

HPF Coupling
PVDF Pipe
Figure F-73. HPF weld For conducting beadless fusion, HPF is provided with two options: with balloon and without. For beadless and seam free, weld balloons are available. This ensures a smooth weld and no crevice. Joints welded with balloon will have a small wave in the joint due to the weight of the coupling and the outward force of the inflated balloon. Sometimes it is not possible to place a balloon in the weld area and then be able to remove it after, such as in the case of a repair or addition. For this reason, HPF can also be conducted without a balloon. These joints will also be beadless, but will have a small seam around the joint. HPF is recommended for welding in or outside of a cleanroom environment. During the weld process, HPF is closed to the external environment, so issues of wind, temperature, and contamination are greatly reduced. HPF is the tool of choice for repairs or additions to an existing system. HPF is only available for PVDF in sizes 1/2" 2".

HPF systems for harsh chemical transport should be approved by Asahi /America and called out as the welding method when conducting a chemical resistance verification. Asahi /America has also introduced electro fusion in polypropylene (HDPE on special request) in 1/2" 9". This new system works in a similar fashion to that of HPF, but does not provide a bead free and seamless weld. However, electro fusion does prove extremely convenient in tight locations.

A chemical system is a critical utility within a plants operation. An unplanned shutdown can prove to be more costly than the piping construction itself. One bad weld can cause hours of repair and frustration, as well as significant lost revenue. For these reasons, it is critical to receive training at the time of job start-up and use certified personnel throughout the course of a project. Tool operation is only one of several factors in a thorough training course. Operators, inspectors, and managers need to understand the physical nature of the material: how to properly handle it, how to inspect welds, how to identify potential problems, how to properly maintain equipment, and finally, how best to tie into a line and test it. All of the above topics are discussed during Asahi /Americas certified training sessions. For the installation of a single wall pipe system, the following training sessions are available: Tool Operator Training Quality Control Inspection In addition to the above on-site training, Asahi /America also offers courses that are held at the corporate office for the following topics: Certified Maintenance and Repair Certified Trainer (prerequisites apply) Consult with Asahi /Americas Engineering Department for dates and availability of corporate programs. During the on-site training process, Asahi /America certified trainers will set recommendations for the class size based on the tool type. In general, groups of four are recommended for the welding operation portion of the training. Typically, two groups can be certified in one day on the welding portion of the seminar. On simple installations, it may be faster; and on more complex installations, it may be longer. To reduce distraction within the class, it is important that only personnel who will be conducting the weld operation during the project participate in the training. It is also recommended that if a third party QC is used, they also attend the full training course to fully understand the welding process and QC parameters.
PP Coupling
PP Pipe
Figure F-74. PP weld Polypropylene electro-fusion couplings are significantly larger than that of HPF and do require extended leg fittings. All systems to be assembled using electro fusion must be approved by Asahi /America if they are to be used in a chemical application. The welding material should be called out at the time of a chemical resistance verification.

When pipe, fittings, and valves arrive on site, they should be inspected to ensure the proper components have arrived and no damage has occurred during shipment. Asahi /America goes to great lengths to ensure that pipe and fittings are properly packaged for shipment. If damage occurs, the freight company should be notified immediately. Preferable, pipe should be stored inside or in a trailer. Care should be taken to properly support pipe during storage. Use the hanging criteria for the proper support distance. Pipe can be stacked during storage. Heavier pipes of larger dimensions should be stored at the bottom. However, it may prove more practical to segregate by size for easier access during the project. Pipe should not be stacked above the recommended height of 4 feet. If material is stored outside, it is preferable to cover with a tarp in case of rain. PVDF is UV resistant, but polypropylene will degrade over time when exposed directly to UV. Depending on the size of the pipe and the wall thickness, it could cause physical damage that could reduce the allowable pressure rating. In all cases, the UV will cause a color change over time that may not be acceptable for aesthetic reasons. In general, it is recommended to cover polypropylene during storage. Fittings are best kept in their boxes or bags, as they are shipped in separate containers by size, style, and material. This will allow for simplified picking and inventory control throughout the project.
Preparation
To best use training time, preparation should be made prior to the trainers arrival on site. A recommended list of preparations follows. Ensure that project material is on site. It is not critical to have all material, but enough to start the project. Once training is complete, it is practical for the trainer to oversee the beginning portion of the installation. Many times new questions and challenges arise once the actual installation starts. In addition, if there is a significant period of time between the training and actual installation,

Step 6. Pipe Cutting
Cutting plastic pipe can be handled in a variety of methods. In small dimensions, 1/2" 4", roll wheel pipe cutters are commonly available and work well. These types of cutters are similar to a tube cutter, but only larger. If using a roll cutter on PP or PE, it is important to ensure the wheel has a larger radius than the wall thickness of the pipe so it will cut all the way through.
operators may forget portions of the training or different operators may now be slated for the welding operation. Both scenarios require additional training. Ensure required tools are on site. Do not open the tools until a certified trainer is present. If more tools are ordered during a project, this is no longer required as proper unpacking and set up of the equipment is covered in the training process. Ensure that the correct power is available. Many pieces of equipment require 220 Volt single or three phase power supply. Consult with the factory or distributor at the time of tool ordering. If possible, have a conference room with an overhead projector available for the classroom portion of the training. If this is not available, select an area where all personnel will be able to see and hear the trainer for this portion of the discussion. Ensure that pipe samples are available for the training session. Asahi /America does not normally provide samples for the training. Formal training can be the key factor in starting a project off in the right direction. Take advantage of this service while on site. Asahi /America also offers field technicians for hire to oversee project welding and training for any specified amount of time. Contact Asahi /America for more information. This is a service many customers take advantage of to ensure a smooth, trouble-free installation.
Figure F-75. Roll cutter If you are not concerned about particle generation, then band saws, vertical or horizontal, will work very well for plastic. Since plastic pipes can have a very heavy wall thickness, it is important to travel slowly through with the band saw to avoid the blade from bending and creating an angled cut. For smaller pipe sizes, a circular blade chop saw will also provide neat and accurate cuts. If only manual saws are available, a hack saw will certainly cut through small dimensions, but avoid using a fine blade as it will take considerable time. In addition, reciprocating saws are generally not the best choice as the blades are only long enough to cut one wall at a time. If too fine of a blade is used, the material will become hot and can fuse itself back together partially behind the blade travel.

Checking equipment and welding technique daily is recommended. This is particularly important on larger projects where there are many welders on site. This daily check will allow QA to ensure all welders are up to speed on tool operation, welding technique, and inspection. Most problems in the field occur due to improper usage of equipment, rather than equipment failure. During the initial training of the project, many welds are produced in the presence of a qualified trainer. These welds should be kept and used for the daily checks. Each welder should conduct one coupon test weld and submit it to QA. The coupons should be compared to initial samples. Inspection should include bead formation, sizing, and weld label. Conducting preventive maintenance to the equipment at the beginning of each day is required. The maintenance recommended varies on each weld tool type. Consult the Operation Manual for items to be checked daily. By keeping equipment in good operating condition and ensuring all operators are up to speed, it is less likely tool problems and welding errors will occur.

Butt Fusion
To inspect butt-fusion joints, the inspector should look for the following characteristics on each weld: Welds should have two beads that are 360 around the pipe Beads should be of consistent height and width Beads should have a rounded shape Beads should be free of burrs or foreign material A bead on either side should not reduce greatly in width or disappear Components welded should be properly aligned and cannot be misaligned by more than 10% of the wall thickness Figure F-76 shows a detail of a standard butt-fusion bead formation.
Socket Fusion
With socket fusion, beads are also present on the outside that should be used for inspection. With a socket weld, it is important to ensure that the bead on the pipe and the bead on the fitting are in contact. If the two beads are not in contact, or the bead from the pipe is not up against the socket, the proper insertion depth has not occurred. If beads do not meet, the weld will not be full strength and should be rejected. With socket fusion weld inspection, look for the following items: Bead formation on pipe in full contact with fitting 360 around the joint. Consistent bead 360 around the joint. Free of any burrs or foreign material. Proper alignment. Pipe needs to be inserted straight into the fitting without angle. Figure F- 77 is an example of acceptable and non-acceptable socket fusion joints.
No Gap No Gap Gap
Figure F-76. Typical butt-fusion weld bead Butt-fusion beads will vary in size and a little in shape with different materials. In general, PP and HDPE will have larger bead formations in comparison to PVDF. With PP and HDPE, there will be a pronounced double-bead formation that will be simple to identify. With PVDF, there will also be a double-bead formation, but not as pronounced. The material will appear to flow more together, making what appears to be one single weld. However, upon examination you will always see the seam where the components were joined. In addition, when butt welding PVDF pipe to fittings, the fitting bead will be larger than the pipe bead. This is normal as the resin used to produce PVDF fittings flows at a higher rate when melted compared to the resin used to extrude pipes. Mechanically there will be no issues on strength of the joint, only the appearance of the weld. Since outside temperatures and conditions will have some effect on bead sizes, there is no formal specification for the size of the bead. Also, measuring each bead would be time consuming. During the training process, welding one of each size to use as a rough gauge for the project is recommended. These sample coupons can be referred to on a regular basis to check welding throughout the project. If bead formations do not meet the inspection criteria, they should be rejected. Consult the operation manual on each tool on how to correct the problem. If problems persist, contact Asahi /America for assistance. Many times these issues can be cleared up quickly over the phone, avoiding wasted time and material. Never continue welding if proper fusion cannot be accomplished. This will only add to problems at a later time.

HPF welds can be inspected, as well as data on each weld and stored in the memory if desired. This information can be printed any time on 81/2" by 11" paper. Consult the HPF Operation Manual for details on printing weld data. It is important to specify the need for data retrieval at the time of job start-up, as all HPF equipment is shipped with the memory function turned off. HPF is a non-bead forming weld process. The inspection on HPF is simplified since the socket coupling itself covers the weld. When welding with balloon, the indicator on the side of each fitting can identify proper fusion. The plastic indicator will push out from the HPF coupling due to the heat from the weld. This device, Figure F-78, much like a turkey timer, indicates that the fitting has been properly heated. When welding without balloon, the indicator will not necessarily push out. The HPF equipment shows the weld count on the screen of each weld. This number should be logged on the supplied charts. In addition, the data from each weld can be printed using a standard dot matrix printer. The tracking of the joint on the pipe, the log, and the tool printout allows quality assurance to track each weld to ensure welds in the system were conducted properly. In addition, the printout will indicate the method of welding on each joint, balloon or without balloon.

Following proper weld procedures, in conjunction with thorough inspection, will lead to a safe and reliable system. However, a weld cannot be 100% judged by viewing it after the fusion is complete. Bad welds with obvious problems can be identified, such as missing beads, small beads, and misalignment, but other problems may not be easily found. The cold weld is more difficult to identify, and virtually impossible to detect with the naked eye. Two cross-sectional views of a pipe wall that has been welded are shown in Figure F-79. Weld 1 is a good fusion joint, while Weld 2 is a cold weld. Notice in the cold weld there is very little material joined together in the pipe wall area. The molten material has been forced to the outer and inner bead and the unheated sections of the pipe have been forced together in the pipe wall region. In the proper Weld 1, you can see there is material joined together in the pipe wall, as well as in the inner and outer beads.
Figure F-78. HPF indicator Other techniques employed with HPF to ensure proper insertion depth is the marking of the depth. When setting a component into the clamp and centering it, mark the side of the component up tight against the clamp. This mark will allow inspectors to verify the pipe was properly installed into the clamp after the weld is completed. The distance of the mark to the side of the coupling will be identical for each dimensional size. Marks that are too close or too far to the coupling should be rejected. Most problems with HPF come from not carefully inserting the fitting and centering it into the coupling. Since the process is controlled with bar coding the parameters and computer control of the heating and cooling, the welding process itself is extremely reliable. The proper set up is the main variable that is the responsibility of the operator.
Weld 1 Standard IR joint
Weld 2 Cold weld
Bubbles in the Joint

In the fusion process, it is possible to find tiny bubbles trapped in the welded region. This may be most noticeable with PVDF, for its clear nature allows it to be visible. These bubbles are a common occurrence in non-contact butt fusion, but can also be present in conventional butt-fusion systems. The bubbles are from one of two sources: either air has been trapped in the weld during the joining process, or small vacuums appear due to material shrinkage during the cooling down time. In either case, the bubbles are not an area of concern and there is no specification for the size of a bubble that would cause a joint failure. The combination of the welding parameters and the melt flow index of the Solef PVDF resin help to ensure against tiny bubbles affecting the quality of the joint.
Figure F-79. Cross-sectional view of pipe wall with weld The problem with inspecting a cold weld is that the outer bead is the same as a good joint. In Figure F-79, the top bead represents the outer look of the weld. It can be seen very clearly that both welds look the same according to the bead formation. Since the occurrence of a cold weld is difficult to find and inspect, it is important to use proper welding procedures when joining the material. The issue of inspecting and avoiding a cold weld is no different than a PVC joint that has not been primed prior to cementing. You cannot always tell after the weld is made, but if you correctly follow procedures it will not occur. Cold welds can be avoided with the following operating techniques on all butt fusion and socket fusion equipment. Ensure proper heating element temperature throughout the project. Use the correct welding parameters by pipe size, wall thickness, and material.

Do not delay between removal of heating element and joining of material. Do not slam material together after heating. Material should be joined quickly, but the pressure build up should be smooth and even. Do not join components together above the joining force.

Step 8. Hanging
Hanging any thermoplastic system is not that much different than hanging a metal system. Typically, the spacing between hangers is shorter due to the flexibility of plastic. In addition, the type of hanger is important. Hangers should be placed based on the spacing requirements provided in Tables F-12 thru F-14 . Since thermoplastics materials vary in strength and rigidity, it is important to select hanging distances based on the material you are hanging. Also, operating conditions must be considered. If the pipe is operated at a higher temperature, the amount of hangers will generally be increased. Finally, if the system is exposed to thermal cycling, the placement of hangers, guides, and anchors is critical. In these cases, the hanger locations should be identified by the system engineer and laid out to allow for expansion and contraction of the pipe over its life of operation. When selecting hangers for a system, it is important to avoid using a hanger that will place a pinpoint load on the pipe when tightened. For example, a U-bolt hanger is not recommended for thermoplastic piping systems. See Figures F-80 and F-81.

Hangers that secure the pipe 360 around the pipe are preferred. Thermoplastic clamps are also recommended over metal clamps as they are less likely to scratch the pipe in the event of movement. If metal clamps are specified for the project, they should be inspected for rough edges that could damage the pipe. Ideally, if a metal clamp is being used, an elastomeric material should be used in between the pipe and the clamp. This is a must for PVDF and E-CTFE systems, which are less tolerant to scratching. For more details on hanging Asahi /America systems, consult Section C, Engineering Theory and Design Considerations.

Step 9. Trenching and Burial

Proper trenching and burial of a pipe system requires engineering prior to an installation. Section C provides a comprehensive guide to burial calculations load tolerance of thermoplastic pipe. This information should be supplied and be specified prior to installation. Refer to Asahi /Americas manual for the burial calculations. For installation purposes, it is important to look at several factors as the installer of underground piping. Soil conditions should match that of the specification and/or drawings. Trenches should be dug according to plan. Pipe should be surrounded by specified soil type and compaction. Accommodations for welding in the trench should be made. Safety issues of being in a trench should always be observed. For each underground installation, burial designs will specify depth of trench and width of trench. The wider the trench, the more load the pipe will see upon compaction. Therefore, it is important to follow trench design closely to avoid excess load on the pipe. In addition to the trench details, the type of soil becomes important. Different types of soils have differing densities and will create differing loads on the buried pipe. If the soil does not match that of the design, it needs to be rechecked or different fill may be required. The surrounding material of the pipe is also important. Items such as large rocks may cause pinpoint loads on the pipe that could eventually damage the pipe. Figure F-82 depicts a recommended cross section of a trench and proper fill material and compaction.
Figure F-82. Trench detail Welding in a trench should also be preplanned. It is common that all welding is done above ground, and then, the welded components are all lowered into the trench. In many instances it may be necessary to weld in the trench. For conducting welds in a trench it is important to allocate space for the machine as it will be wider than the pipe itself. Widening the trench may be required to accommodate the machine.

Prior to pressure testing, the system shall be examined for the following items: 1. Pipe should be completed per drawing layout with all pipe and valve supports in place. 2. Pipe, valves, and equipment should be supported as specified, without any concentrated loads on system. 3. Pipe should be in good condition, void of any cracks, scratches, or deformation. 4. Pipe flanges should be properly aligned. All flange bolts should be checked for correct torques. 5. All joints should be reviewed for appropriate welding technique. See Weld Inspection, Step 7. If any deficiencies appear, the quality control engineer should provide directions/repair.

Pressure Test
Test fluid should be water. In all cases, tests must be done hydrostatically. Air is not acceptable. 1. Filling the system: Open the valves and vents to purge the system of any air. Slowly inject the water into the system, making sure that air does not become trapped in the system. 2. Begin pressurizing the system in increments of 10 psi. Bring the system up to the test pressure and hold. Allow system to hold pressure for a minimum of two hours and up to a recommended 12 hours. Check pressure gauge after one hour. Due to natural creep effects in plastic piping, the pressure may have decreased. If drop is less than 10 psi, pump the pressure back up. At this time, the system may be fully pressurized to desired test pressure. 3. If after one hour the pressure has decreased more than 10%, consider the test a failure. Note the 10% value may need to be greater for larger systems. Also, note that Step 2 may need to be conducted several times if there are significant thermal changes. 4. If the pressure drops less than 10% after one hour, pump the pressure back up to the test pressure. This is normal due to creep. If after two hours the pressure does not drop, consider the test a success. 5. Test is to be witnessed by the quality control engineer, and be certified by the contractor. 6. Obvious leaks can be found by emptying the system and placing a 5 psi charge of clean, dry nitrogen on the system. Each joint should then be individually checked using a soapy water solution or an ultrasonic leak detection gun. Leak detection guns are available from Asahi /America. Consult factor for usage of U.S. leak detection guns. Some limitations do apply.

If a leak is found or an addition is required to an existing system, there are several options on how to make the repair. In most systems, socket or butt fusion, there is a requirement for pipe movement when making a weld. To conduct a butt or IR weld, one side of the tool moves in order to accommodate the planer, the heating element, and the final joining force. In a repair procedure, the need for movement of the existing pipe makes for the simplest repair.

If the pipe is in an area where it can be moved, standard butt fusion or socket fusion equipment can be used. 1. Cut out the section in need of repair. It is best to conduct new tie-in welds on straight runs of pipe for easier alignment. 2. If several welds are required, prefab a spool piece on a bench and conduct only a few tie-in welds in the pipe rack. 3. Attach the tool to the existing pipe and properly support the machine to avoid sagging or stressing the pipe. 4. Conduct standard butt-fusion weld per operating procedures. It may be necessary to flex the existing pipe out of the way of existing pipe. 5. Conduct final weld using the flexible side of the pipe system in the moving clamp.

Depending on the size and material, repairs can also be made to systems without any movement. For Purad PVDF systems in sizes 1/2" 2", HPF welds can be conducted in place with minimal need for movement. In polypropylene in sizes 1/2" 9", electro-fusion welds can be accomplished. 1. Remove the damaged section of piping. For easier alignment, conduct new tie-in welds on straight runs of pipe. 2. If several welds are required, prefab a spool piece on a bench setup and conduct only a few tie-in welds in the pipe rack. 3. Using either the large or the small alignment rack, fix two wide clamps to the existing pipe line and to the new spool piece. Make sure all components are level and properly supported. 4. Plane the ends perfectly square. It is recommended to preplane both ends of the spool and both ends of the existing pipe line at this point. It is also necessary to slide the second coupling onto the spool at this point to avoid difficulty of placing it on the pipe after one weld is complete. For polypropylene, planing is recommended but not required, as long as cuts are straight and square. 5. Slide the coupling into place using the third wide clamp and center the existing pipe in the clamp using the mechanical stop. Now bring the spool piece into the clamp until it is up tight against the existing pipe line. For polypropylene, only one clamp is necessary. 6. Conduct the weld per procedure for the equipment. 7. Measure the thickness of the coupling. Take half of the thickness and mark this distance from the end of the pipe. This mark identifies the location of the end of the coupling and helps to center the coupling on the two final components to be joined. Lock in place using the wide clamp.8. Conduct the final weld according to procedure.

For systems where electro fusion is not available, and there is no flex for movement of the existing pipe in the region of the damaged pipe, the repair can be done using flanges or unions. 1. Remove the section to be repaired. 2. Weld flanges or unions on both ends of the existing piping. 3. Measure the distance from face to face and build a spool to fit into place. 4. Connect spool into place.

DOUBLE WALL SYSTEMS
When welding outside, several factors have to be considered. It is always important not to weld in the rain. Rain will damage equipment and improperly influence the weld. For rainy days, a shelter or tent should be constructed over equipment. In addition to rain, high winds and cold temperatures, below 40 F, will negatively influence the welding process. If these conditions are not avoidable, a heated tent structure is recommended. For specific recommendations by tool type, consult the Asahi /America Engineering Department. When conducting field welds in a pipe rack or in a trench, it is important to have the location of the weld well planned. Vertical welds in any location will prove difficult to conduct and should be avoided. The field weld that connects up prefabricated spool pieces should be a pipe-to-pipe weld whenever possible. Pipe-to-pipe welds are easier to align and level, making the weld easier to conduct in possibly tight quarters. In all field welds, in the rack or in a trench, it is important to have ample room for welding equipment and to choose the proper welding equipment. In some underground installations, it may be necessary to increase the width of the trench in weld locations. Many underground systems are welded above ground and then lowered down into the trench to avoid placing equipment in narrow trenches. The same is true in crowded pipe racks. Many times it will prove more efficient to prefab spools and use flanges or unions to connect them together in the pipe rack. Consult Asahi /America for the design and use of a double contained flange.
DOUBLE WALL SYSTEMS

Installing any piping system properly requires preplanning. The installation is more than the welding of components. It requires the proper environment, material inventory, welding equipment, tools, and thorough training. This guide is to assist in the planning and installation of a double wall pipe system either in a pipe rack or trench. This guide will concentrate on Duo-Pro and Fluid-Lok systems, as produced and supplied by Asahi /America, Inc. Duo-Pro and Fluid-Lok systems are similar with only a few minor exceptions. Both systems are highly engineered systems, fabricated from single wall components to provide the widest variety of selection and performance for all circumstances. By the time a DuoPro system arrives on site, most of the engineering and design layout work should have been completed. Covered in this guide are the steps to plan and complete a successful installation. Step 1. Welding Environment Step 2. Tool Selection Step 3. Material Handling Step 4. Training and Preparation Step 5. Tool Commission and Daily Checks Step 6. Pipe Cutting Step 7. Weld Preparation Step 8. Weld Inspection Step 9. Hanging Step 10. Trenching and Burial Step 11. System Testing Step 12. Repair Procedures

The selection of the type of welding method conducted on a double wall industrial piping project should be based on the following criteria: Material Sizes to be installed Welding location Type of installation Similar to dissimilar material Available expertise For assembling double containment piping systems made from PVDF, PP, E-CTFE, and HDPE, there are many choices of equipment available, each having its advantages and disadvantages. On all Asahi /Americas standard double wall containment systems, butt fusion is the only joining system offered due to its ideal functionality in this application. Tables F-15 and F-16 contain data on available welding equipment. There is no one right piece of equipment that can handle all sizes and materials. It is absolutely critical to have the right equipment on site for proper installation.

Asahi /America does not set requirements for proper welding environments. As the installer, it is necessary to choose the environment based on the installation type, timing or quality goal. In most systems, pipe is either going into a pipe rack, beneath a floor or wall, or buried underground. In all these cases, conducting welds in the actual final location may not always be the most convenient location for welding. In fact, in most cases, it is preferable to prefabricate spool piece components and conduct final welds or hook-up in the pipe rack. If possible, set up a welding area to build the spool pieces. The weld area should be situated in an area that has reduced exposure to wind, possible rain, and extreme cold temperatures. Building spool pieces inside a weld shop may prove advantageous. A fairly controlled environment and organized work space will improve efficiency and quality of the system to be installed. Not all welding can be conducted in a shop and eventually field welds will need to be done. Some systems will be installed completely outside, with all the welds perhaps conducted in place.

Both of these can be conducted on site during the time of the start-up. The depth of training in a double containment piping system is based on the system type to be installed. Systems that require staggered fusion are more involved to install and may require the operation of different equipment. In addition to the above on-site training, Asahi /America also offers courses that are held at the corporate office for the following topics: Certified Maintenance and Repair Certified Trainer (prerequisites apply) Consult with Asahi /Americas Engineering Department for dates and availability of corporate programs. During the on-site training process, Asahi /America certified trainers will set recommendations for the class size based on the tool type. In general, groups of four are recommended for the welding operation portion of the training. Typically, two groups can be certified in one day on the welding portion of the seminar. On simple installations, it may be faster; and on more complex installations, it may be longer. To reduce the distraction within the class, it is important that only personnel who will be conducting the weld operation during the project participate in the training. It is also recommended that if a third party QC is to be used that they also attend the full training course to fully understand the welding process and QC parameters.

When pipe, fittings, and fabrications arrive on site, they should be inspected to ensure the proper components have arrived and no damage has occurred during shipment. Asahi /America goes to great lengths to ensure that pipe and fittings are properly packaged for shipment. If damage occurs, the freight company should be notified immediately. Preferably, pipe should be stored inside or in a trailer. Care should be taken to properly support pipe during storage. Use the hanging criteria for the proper support distance. Pipe can be stacked during storage. Heavier pipes of larger dimensions should be stored at the bottom. However, it may prove more practical to segregate by size for easier access during the project. Pipe should not be stored above the recommended maximum height of 4 feet. If material is stored outside, it is preferable to cover with a tarp in case of rain. PVDF is UV resistant, but polypropylene will degrade over time when exposed directly to UV. Depending on the size of the pipe and the wall thickness, it could cause physical damage that could reduce the allowable pressure rating. In all cases, the UV will cause a color change over time that may not be acceptable for aesthetic reasons. In general, covering polypropylene during storage is recommended. Fittings are best kept in their boxes or bags, as they are shipped in separate containers by size, style, and material. This will allow for simplified picking and inventory control throughout the project.
Preparation
To best use training time, preparation should be made prior to the trainers arrival on site. A recommended list of preparations follows. Ensure that project material is on site. It is not critical to have all material, but enough to start the project. Once training is complete, it is practical for the trainer to oversee the beginning portion of the installation. Many times new questions and challenges arise once the actual installation starts. In addition, if there is a significant period of time between the training and actual installation, operators may forget portions of the training or different operators may now be slated for the welding operation. Both scenarios require additional training. Ensure required tools are on site. Do not open the tools until a certified trainer is present. If more tools are ordered during a project, this is no longer required as proper unpacking and set up of the equipment is covered in the training process. Ensure that the correct power is available. Many pieces of equipment require 220 Volt single or three phase power supply. Consult with the factory or distributor at the time of tool ordering. If possible, have a conference room with an overhead projector available for the classroom portion of the training. If this is not available, select an area where all personnel will be able to see and hear the trainer for this portion of the discussion.

A double containment system is a critical utility within a plant. It is often under flooring or underground where it is not easily accessible. In addition, double containment systems also are in overhead piping and provide additional needed safety for plant personnel from a leak in a hazardous chemical system. A repair to a system can prove difficult and costly. One bad weld can cause hours of repair and frustration, as well as lost revenue. For these reasons, it is critical to receive training at the time of job start-up and use certified personnel throughout the course of a project. Tool operation is only one of several factors in a thorough training course. Operators, inspectors, and managers need to understand the physical nature of the material, how to properly handle it, how to inspect welds, how to identify potential problems, how to properly maintain equipment and finally, how best to tie into a line and test it. During Asahi /Americas certified training sessions, all of the above topics are discussed. For the installation of a double containment system, the following training sessions are available: Tool Operator Training Quality Control Inspection
ASAHI /AMERICA
Rev. EDG 02/A
F-47
Ensure that pipe samples are available for the training session. Asahi /America does not normally provide samples for the training. Ensure extra components such as welding rod, support discs, and hot air welders are ordered and available at the time of training. Such components.will be required throughout the project. Formal training can be the key factor in starting a project off in the right direction. Take advantage of this service while on site. Asahi /America also offers field technicians for hire to oversee project welding and training for any specified amount of time. Contact the Asahi /America Engineering Department for more information.
DOUBLE WALL SYSTEMS
In most sizes, band saws, vertical or horizontal, will work very well for plastic. Since plastic pipes can have a very heavy wall thickness, it is important to travel slowly through the band saw to avoid the blade from bending and creating an angled cut. For smaller pipe sizes and Poly-Flo pipes up to 2 x 3, a circular blade chop saw will also provide neat and accurate cuts. A miter box chop saw is also very useful if angled welds are to be done in the field. If only manual saws are available, a hack saw will certainly cut through small dimensions, but avoid using a fine blade as it will take considerable time. In addition, reciprocating saws are generally not the best choice as the blades are only long enough to cut one wall at a time. If too fine of a blade is used, the material will become hot and can fuse itself back together partially behind the blade travel.

Checking equipment and welding technique daily is recommended. This is particularly important on larger projects where there are many welders on site. This daily check will allow QA to ensure all welders are up to speed on tool operation, welding technique, and inspection. Most problems in the field occur due to improper usage of equipment, rather than equipment failure. During the initial training of the project, many welds are produced in the presence of a qualified trainer. These welds should be kept and used for the daily checks. Each welder should conduct one coupon test weld and submit it to QA. The coupons should be compared to initial samples. Inspection should include bead formation, sizing, and weld label. Conducting preventive maintenance to the equipment at the beginning of each day is also required. The maintenance recommended varies on each weld tool type. Consult the Operation Manual for items to be checked daily. By keeping equipment in good operating condition and ensuring all operators are up to speed, tool problems or welding errors are less likely to occur.
Step 7. Weld Preparation

The type of material and system will dictate welding method and tool selection. One important factor in welding a Duo-Pro or Fluid-Lok system is the alignment of the support discs. To allow the pulling of cable, it is necessary to have the disc openings aligned at the pipe bottom.
Welds
Align cutouts at bottom of pipe
Figure F-93. Support disc alignment In a Poly-Flo system, it is important to rotate the pipe ribs. Since a Poly-Flo system cannot accommodate leak detection cable, rotating the ribs is recommended to allow a possible leak to make its path to the bottom annular space. The cold weld is more difficult to identify, and virtually impossible to detect with the naked eye. Two cross-sectional views of a pipe wall that has been welded are shown in Figure F-79. Weld 1 is a good fusion joint, while Weld 2 is a cold weld. Notice in the cold weld there is very little material joined together in the pipe wall area. The molten material has been forced to the outer and inner bead, and the unheated sections of the pipe have been forced together in the pipe wall region. In the proper Weld 1, you can see there is material joined together in the pipe wall, as well as in the inner and outer beads.

Cutting plastic pipe can be handled in a variety of methods. In small dimensions, 1/2" through 4", roll wheel pipe cutters are commonly available and work well. These types of cutters are similar to a tube cutter, but only larger. When using a roll cutter on PP or PE, it is important to ensure the wheel has a larger radius than the wall thickness of the pipe so it will cut all the way through. A roll cutter will only cut single wall pipe. It can be used to cut the inner and outer pipe separately, but if a pipe is already fabricated into a double contained configuration, a roll cutter cannot be used. Poly-Flo systems cannot be cut using a roll cutter.

DOUBLE WALL SYSTEMS
Butt-fusion beads will vary in size and a little in shape with different materials. In general, PP and HDPE will have larger bead formations in comparison to PVDF. With PP and HDPE, there will be a pronounced double-bead formation that will be simple to identify. With PVDF, there will also be a double-bead formation, but not as pronounced. The material will appear to flow more together, making what appears to be one single weld. However, upon examination, you will always see the seam where the components were joined. In addition, when butt welding PVDF pipe to fittings, the fitting bead will be larger than the pipe bead. This is normal as the resin used to produce PVDF fittings flows at a higher rate when melted compared to the resin used to extrude pipes. Mechanically, there will be no issues on strength of the joint, only the appearance of the weld. Since outside temperatures and conditions will have some effect on bead sizes, there is no formal specification for the size of the bead. Also, measuring each bead would be time consuming. During the training process, welding one of each size to use as a rough gauge for the project may prove useful. These sample coupons can be referred to on a regular basis to check welding throughout the project. If bead formations do not meet the inspection criteria, they should be rejected. Consult the operation manual for each tool on how to correct the problem. If problems persist, contact Asahi /America for assistance. Many times these issues can be cleared up quickly over the phone, avoiding waste in time and material. Never continue welding if proper fusion cannot be accomplished. This will only add to problems at a later time.

To ensure a safe and on-time system start-up, initiating a standard inspection process is recommended on each project. This quality assurance measure can be conducted by a third party QC or can be done by each individual operator after each weld. A recommended inspection report for recording quality assurance on each weld is attached to the end of Section F. Use the recommendation of this weld inspection guide in conjunction with the equipment manual to achieve the best project results. To inspect butt-fusion joints, the inspector should look for the following characteristics on each weld. Welds should have two beads that are 360 around the pipe. Beads should be of consistent height and width. Beads should have a rounded shape. Beads should be free of burrs or foreign material. A bead on either side should not reduce greatly in width or disappear. Components welded should be properly aligned and cannot be misaligned by more than 10% of the wall thickness. When welding the inner and outer pipe and fitting simultaneously, the outer bead will provide an accurate depiction of the inner weld. If the outer pipe appears improperly aligned, the inner pipe will also be out of alignment. For simultaneous fusion, it is necessary to ensure the carrier component is flush in length with the containment component. Check on each part with a straight edge after the planing and prior to the heating step of welding. Other methods include marking the ends of the carrier in four locations 90 apart prior to planing. If planing on the containment pipe is complete and all the original marks on the carrier have been removed by the planer, then both parts are flush. Figure F-94 shows a detail of a standard butt-fusion bead formation.
Butt Fusion Weld Beads Support Disk
Following proper weld procedures in conjunction with a thorough inspection process will lead to a safe and reliable system. However, a weld cannot be 100% judged by viewing it after the fusion is complete. Bad welds with obvious problems can be identified, such as missing beads, small beads, and misalignment, but other problems may not be easily found. A cold weld occurs when an operator either maintains too high a force during the heat soak time or joins the material together at too high a force. Molten material is then pushed to the outer bead and cooler material is forced together inside the weld.

The problem with inspecting a cold weld is the outer bead is the same as a good joint. Since the occurrence of a cold weld is difficult to find and inspect, it is important to use proper welding procedures when joining the material. The issue of inspecting and avoiding a cold weld is no different than a PVC joint that has not been primed prior to cementing. You cannot tell after the weld is made, but if you correctly follow procedures, it will not occur. Cold welds can be avoided with the following operating techniques on all butt fusion and socket fusion equipment. Ensure proper heating element temperature throughout the project. Use the correct welding parameters by pipe size, wall thickness, and material. Do not delay between removal of heating element and joining of material. Do not slam material together after heating. Material should be joined quickly, but the pressure build up should be smooth and even. Do not join components together above the joining force.
DOUBLE WALL SYSTEMS
When selecting hangers for a system, it is important to avoid using a hanger that will place a pinpoint load on the pipe when tightened. For example, a U-bolt hanger is not acceptable for high-purity thermoplastic piping systems. See Figures F-95 and F-96.
Pressure Point

Figure F-95. Effects of U-bolt on pipe not recommended
Step 9. Hanging
Hanging any thermoplastic double wall system is not that much different than hanging a metal system. Typically, the spacing between hangers is shorter due to the flexibility of plastic. In addition, the type of hanger is important. Hangers should be placed based on the spacing requirements provided in Appendix A. Since thermoplastic materials vary in strength and rigidity, it is important to select hanging distances based on the material you are hanging. Also, operating conditions must be considered. If the pipe is operated at a higher temperature, the amount of hangers will generally be increased. Finally, if the system is exposed to thermal cycling, the placement of hangers, guides, and anchors is critical In these cases. The hanger locations should be identified by the system engineer and laid out to allow for expansion and contraction of the pipe over its life of operation. Figure F-96. Recommended hanger Hangers that secure the pipe 360 around the pipe are preferred. Thermoplastic clamps are also recommended over metal clamps, as they are less likely to scratch the pipe in the event of movement. If metal clamps are specified for the project, they should be inspected for rough edges that could damage the pipe. Ideally, if a metal clamp is being used, an elastomeric material should be used in between the pipe and the clamp. This is a must for PVDF and E-CTFE systems, which are less tolerant to scratching.

DOUBLE WALL SYSTEMS
Welding in a trench should also be preplanned. It is common that all welding is done above ground, and then, the welded components are all lowered into the trench. In many instances it may be necessary to weld in the trench. For conducting welds in a trench, it is important to allocate space for the machine as it will be wider than the pipe itself. Widening of the trench may be required to accommodate the machine.

Proper trenching and burial of a pipe system requires engineering prior to an installation. Asahi /Americas Engineering Manual (Section C) provides a comprehensive guide to burial calculations load tolerance of thermoplastic pipe. This information should be supplied and be specified prior to installation. Refer to Asahi /Americas manual for the burial calculations. For installation purposes, it is important to look at several factors as the installer of underground piping. Soil conditions should match that of the specification and/or drawings. Trenches should be dug according to plan. Pipe should be surrounded by specified soil type and compaction. Accommodations for welding in the trench should be made. Safety issues of being in a trench should always be observed. For each underground installation, burial designs will specify depth of trench and width of trench. The wider the trench, the more load the pipe will see upon compaction. Therefore, it is important to follow trench design closely to avoid excess load on the pipe. In addition to the trench details, the type of soil becomes important. Different types of soils have differing densities and will create differing loads on the buried pipe. If the soil does not match that of the design, it needs to be rechecked or different top fill may be required. The surrounding material of the pipe is also important. Items such as large rocks may cause pinpoint loads on the pipe that could eventually damage the pipe. Figure F-97 depicts a recommended cross section of a trench and proper fill material and compaction.

Procedures for testing installed sections of Duo-Pro systems must take into account factors affecting both carrier and containment pipes. Basic recommendations may be given, but a comprehensive testing program should be developed for each and every system design. The program should be developed based on the needs and characteristics of the particular system at hand. All pressure tests must be conducted prior to backfilling a buried system.
Carrier Pipe, Pressure System

If the carrier piping is intended for pressure service greater than 10 feet of head, a hydrostatic pressure test must be conducted. In any hydrostatic pressure test, provisions must be made to vent all air out of the inner pipe. If necessary, special highpoint vents should be installed to bleed any trapped air. Air pockets can create a dangerous situation if a cold weld exists and is found during a test. Compressed air pockets can contribute to extensive propagation of fault lines when a failure occurs. Compressed air or gas should not be used for pressure testing of any carrier pipe in excess of 10 psi. Pressure tests should be conducted at a maximum of 150 percent of the operating pressure of the lowest rated component of the system.

Filling the System The piping should be capped off at the end of the spool section to be tested and fitted with an adapter to allow tie-in for testing. All flanges in the vertical position should be left open at this point. Bleed off air through the relief valves. Introduce water very slowly into the system at the low point. In no instance should the water velocity exceed two feet per second. When the water fills all vertical risers, the flanges can be resealed. The relief valves should be left open until it is certain that all air is out of the system. The system can then be brought up to pressure through gradual steps using a hand pump or other similar equipment. Do not use city water pressure to accomplish this step if the water pressure in the city mains is greater than the pressure test to be conducted. Conducting the Test The test should be done in gradual steps of 10 psi for Pro 150/ PE 150, 5 psi for Pro 45 / PE 45, or 10 psi for PVDF until the desired pressure is achieved. There will be some gradual drop in pressure due to natural creep effects and elongation of the pipe wall. Also, there could be some drop occurring due to thermal expansion effects where there are sudden environmental temperature changes. After one hour, check the pressure gauge. If there is a decrease without an indication of leakage, pump the pressure back up to the test pressure. If the total pressure drops more than 10% after the second pressurization, the test can be considered a failed test. Check the system for leaks or other problems. Otherwise, continue the pressure test for a minimum of two hours up to a recommended duration of 12 hours or as required by local code requirements. Cyclic Hydrostatic Testing In critical applications, the inner piping should be tested hydrostatically for more than one cycle. To test for more than one cycle, do not empty the system and start all over. Instead, drop the system pressure down to below 5 psi, and then raise it back in gradual steps of 10 to 20 psi to the desired test pressure. Follow the same procedures as described above. Repeat this procedure for as many cycles as required up to a maximum recommendation of seven cycles. Note: Do not use fabricated drainage fittings in pressurized systems where a pressure over 10 feet of head is required. Use molded pressure fittings in these applications.
DOUBLE WALL SYSTEMS
Carrier Pipe, Drainage Systems Inner piping that is intended for drainage service (10 feet of head or less) should be tested by implementing a 10-foot standing water test. A 10-foot standing water test consists of welding or attaching in some manner a 10-foot riser to the upstream (high end) of the system. It is not unusual that there are several high points (branch connections) in a system. It is important that every riser or branch connection be affixed with a 10-foot riser in order to ensure that every point in the system will see 10 feet of head. In fact, at the low point, the system will see a pressure equal to 10 feet of head plus the value of the elevation change. A maximum of 20 feet of head must not be exceeded in a drainage system. To consider a standing water test acceptable, the water level after 12 hours should be at a level equal to the level at the start of the test, minus normal evaporation and expansion due to temperature fluctuations. Compressed air or gas should not be used for pressure testing of any carrier pipe in excess of 10 psi.
Containment Pipe, Pressure Systems

If outer piping is designed and required to withstand the same pressure as the inside piping, then a hydrostatic pressure test should be conducted for both inner and outer pipes. This is for situations where the inner pipe pressure is greater than 10 psi. It is important to remember that when the annular space is pressurized during this situation, two pipes are involved. A plastic pipe is always less capable of withstanding external pressure than internal pressure. The inner pipe should be kept full of water at a pressure equal to the pressure test of the outer pipe. Equal pressure on the carrier and containment is necessary for the following reasons: 1. To prevent possible collapse of the inner piping during the test. 2. Both the inner and outer piping will elongate equally, thus minimizing any differential stress or stress buildup between the two pipes. 3. In the event of a carrier failure, the containment piping must handle the same pressure as the carrier. The inner pipe will continue to pressurize the outer pipe until the two reach an equilibrium.
F-52
ASAHI /AMERICA
Rev. EDG 02/A
DOUBLE WALL SYSTEMS
The standing water test should be conducted in the same manner as the inside pipes. A riser should be attached to every vertical riser equal to 10 feet, and the system filled with water. The level should be checked after 12-18 hours, and if no fluid has escaped (minus normal evaporative losses and expansion due to temperature fluctuation), the test should be considered successful. It should be noted that the total of the elevational change plus 10 feet should not exceed the sum of 20 feet. In order not to trap fluid in the annular space, a low-pressure compressed air or nitrogen test (10 psi) may be used. Note that if this type of test is used, the carrier inner pipe must be filled with fluid and kept to at least the level of the pressure in the annular space to prevent collapse. If this type of test is used, it is required to soap each joint thoroughly to check for visual leaks. In addition, the pressure gauge must also be checked after 2-12 hours for indication. Again, any time compressed air is used, extra safety precautions should be taken. Air tests should be done at 32 F or higher ambient temperature.
Filling the System The outer piping can be filled after the inner test is conducted or at the same time as the inner pipe. The system should be filled in the exact same way as described for pressurized carrier pipe. Do not use city water pressure to accomplish this step if the water pressure in the city mains is greater than the pressure test to be conducted. In many cases, it is not an advantage to conduct a hydrostatic test on the annular space, as it is very difficult to dry the space after the test. An air test can be used as an alternative. The pressure should be no higher than 10 psi, and extra safety precautions must be made for surrounding personnel. In all cases, the ambient temperature should be above 32 F. The carrier pipe should also be filled with water and pressurized any time a test is conducted on the annular space.
Conducting the Test

Testing is conducted on the containment in the same manner as the carrier. The test should be done in gradual steps of 10 psi for Pro 150/ PE 150, or 5 psi for Pro 45 / PE 45 until the desired test pressure is achieved. There will be some gradual drop in pressure due to natural creep effects and elongation of the pipe wall. Also, there could be some drop occurring due to thermal expansion effects where there are sudden ambient changes. After one hour, check the pressure gauge. If there is a decrease without an indication of leakage, pump the pressure back up to the test pressure. If the total pressure drops more than 10% after this second pressurization, the test can be considered a failed test. Check the system for leaks or other problems. In larger systems and pipelines exposed to large changes in temperature, it may take several tries to get the pressure to remain constant. Otherwise, continue the pressure test for a minimum of two hours up to a recommended duration of 12 hours. A cyclic hydrostatic test as described above for the inner pipes may be used where appropriate. Note: Do not use fabricated drainage fittings in pressurized systems where a pressure exceeding 10 feet of head is required. Use molded pressure fittings in these applications. Containment Pipe, Drainage Systems Outer piping that is intended for drainage capability (10 feet of head or less) or that is flowing open ended, should be tested by implementing a 10-foot standing water test. It should be noted that the carrier pipe pressure must be maintained equal to the outer pipe pressure at all points in order that the inner pipe does not collapse. Pro 45/ PE 45 inside carrier pipe is common in some large-diameter systems such as drainage mains. In order to test these systems, special consideration must be given to ensure that the inner pipe is kept under equal pressure with the outer pipe.
Annular Test, Drainage Systems

The purpose of the annular test is to test both the carrier and containment simultaneously. For low-pressure drainage systems, an annular test can be conducted to reduce test time. This type of test can only be used on drainage systems using Pro 150 carrier. Cap off the carrier and containment pipe, and provide a pressure gauge on each. Using low-pressure compressed air (10 psi), charge the annular space. In a tight system, the containment gauge should read 10 psi (minus losses due to creep), and the carrier gauge should be zero. If there is a leak in the containment piping, the containment gauge will begin to drop. If, however, there is a leak in the carrier piping, the inner piping will become pressurized. See Figure F-98 for typical test results. Pressure should be maintained on the system for 2-12 hours to ensure against a possible slow leak.

Drying the Annular Space If the annular space is contaminated with water due to the test procedures or other unforeseen events, it is essential that all moisture be removed thoroughly to minimize condensation that may cause false alarms in leak detection cables and low-point sensors. As discussed in Section C, Engineering Theory and Design Considerations, the installation of properly sized vents and drains will assist greatly with this process. It may be necessary to use Vortek blowers and/or clean dry air to remove all moisture completely. The greater the number of vents and drains, the higher the volume of air can be pushed through the system, thereby decreasing the drying time. As it is extremely difficult to remove moisture from the annular space, it may be appropriate to use compressed air (10 psi) for testing carrier and containment pipe where pressure requirements are low. Use of compressed air will not contaminate the annular space with moisture.
DOUBLE WALL SYSTEMS

A properly designed, installed, and maintained double-containment piping system will provide years of reliable service. The system, however, should offer the means to perform a repair in the event of a mishap, and this repair should be of such quality that the operating parameters, pressure, temperature, and safety factors are not reduced. The Duo-Pro and Fluid-Lok systems offer this capability for all pressure ratings with minimum disruption to site conditions. The first step in a repair procedure is to isolate the leak source. The ease of finding a leak is determined by the leak detection method selected at the time of installation. The use of a leak detection cable will pinpoint the location of the leak to plus or minus three feet, and is possibly the most efficient system. The low-point sensors will identify a zone that has been contaminated. Further testing methods will be required to locate the actual leak source. Several methods are available for this, including the use of an ultrasonic test gun (Figure F-99), fiber optic cameras, and dye solutions. These methods, although more time consuming, are viable alternatives to leak detection cable. The second step in a repair procedure is to flush the carrier and containment pipes to remove any hazardous chemicals that will create safety concerns for the workers doing the repairs. The ability to flush the system is determined by the initial design. The installation of high-point vents and low-point drains in the containment pipe will provide a safe means to perform the flushing. Attempts to install high-point vents and lowpoint drains during repair are costly and potentially dangerous. To completely weld a system repair, the pipe must be flexible in movement in the axial direction. If movement is not present, then a double-wall flange repair may prove convenient. Doublewall flanges may have reduced pressure ratings. Consult factory prior to installation. The third step is to expose the damaged pipe and perform the repair procedure with one of the following methods.
Locating a Leak
In the event of a leak in the carrier, the pressure should be relieved and the water drained to prevent flooding of the annular space. To determine the location of the leak, Asahi/America has available ultrasonic leak detection guns, as shown in Figure F-99. The gun is capable of hearing disturbances in air flow (vibration) through the containment wall. To locate the leak, put a compressed air charge on the carrier piping (10 psi). Using the gun, walk the pipe line placing the gun extension against the containment wall. The compressed air escaping through a leak will be heard through the ear phones of the gun, thus locating the leak. In many situations, the time required to locate a leak on the carrier pipe using this technology is less than one hour.

Repairs to Systems with Flexibility
Butt-Fusion Repairs (similar materials) The second method of repair is performed without the use of flanges but instead, only with thermal butt fusion. The use of butt fusion, as the repair procedure requires a larger excavation due to the requirement that the pipe be able to move at least three inches to perform the weld. To perform the repair: 1. The damaged section of pipe is removed and the area cleared to allow the pipe to move in the radial direction. Note that only one end of the pipe needs this flexibility (Figure F-104).

Flanged Repairs (similar materials) Duo-Pro and Poly-Flo systems offer patented, double-wall flanges that permit the flow of fluids through the annular space, as shown in Figure F-100. (Consult factory for pressure rating.)

The repair procedures described above are appropriate for Duo-Pro and Poly-Flo systems when the same material is used for the carrier and containment piping. To perform a repair on a system with a PVDF carrier and a polypropylene containment, the following steps should be followed.

4. The repair procedure is now the same as for similar materials, as described above. There are other repair options available that require the use of slip couplings, electro-fusion couplings, and use of hot-gas welding and extrusion welding.

POLY-FLO SYSTEMS
Not all welding can be conducted in a shop and eventually field welds will need to be done. Some systems will be installed completely outside, with all the welds perhaps conducted in place. When welding outside, several factors have to be considered. It is always important not to weld in the rain. Rain will damage equipment and improperly influence the weld. For rainy days, a shelter or tent should be constructed over equipment. In addition to rain, high winds and cold temperatures, below 40 F, will negatively influence the welding process. If these conditions are not avoidable, a heat tent structure is recommended. For specific recommendations by tool type, consult the Asahi /America Engineering Department. When conducting field welds in a pipe rack or in a trench, it is important to have the location of the welding planned. Vertical welds in any location will prove more difficult to conduct and should be avoided. The field weld that connects up prefabricated spool pieces should be a pipe-to-pipe weld whenever possible. Pipe-to-pipe welds are easier to align and level, making the weld easier to conduct in possibly tight quarters. In all field welds, in the rack or in a trench, it is important to have ample room for welding equipment and to choose the proper welding equipment. In some underground installations, it may be necessary to increase the width of the trench in weld locations. Many underground systems are welded above ground and then lowered down into the trench to avoid placing equipment in narrow trenches. The same is true in crowded pipe racks. Many times it will prove more efficient to prefab spools and use flanges or unions to connect them together in the pipe rack. Consult Asahi /America for the design and use of a double contained flange.
POLY-FLO SYSTEMS (DOUBLE WALL)

Single Extrusion Poly-Flo System
Installing any piping system properly requires preplanning. The installation is more than the welding of components. It requires the proper environment, material inventory, welding equipment, tools, and thorough training. This guide is to assist in the planning and installation of a Poly-Flo pipe system either in a pipe rack or trench. This guide will concentrate on the Poly-Flo system, as supplied by Asahi /America, Inc. The Poly-Flo system is similar to the Duo-Pro and Fluid-Lok systems, with only a few exceptions. The Poly-Flo system is a highly engineered system, manufactured from a single extrusion process, that will provide an economical and dependable performance for any double wall piping application. By the time a Poly-Flo system arrives on site, most of the engineering and design layout work should have been completed. Asahi /Americas recommendations for project management follow. Step 1. Step 2. Step 3. Step 4. Step 5. Step 6. Step 7. Step 8. Step 9. Step 10. Step 11. Welding Environment Tool Selection Material Handling Training and Preparation Tool Commission and Daily Checks Pipe Cutting Weld Inspection Hanging Trenching and Burial System Testing Repair Procedures

The selection of the type of welding method conducted on a single wall industrial piping project should be based on the following criteria: Material Sizes to be installed Welding location Type of installation Available expertise For assembling Poly-Flo piping systems made from PVDF, PP, and HDPE, there are a few choices of equipment available, each having its advantages and disadvantages. On all of Asahi / Americas Poly-Flo containment systems, butt fusion is the only joining system offered. Table F-17 gives data on available welding equipment. There is no one right piece of equipment that can handle all sizes and materials. It is absolutely critical to have the right equipment on site for proper installation.

Asahi /America does not set requirements for proper welding environments. As the installer, it is necessary to choose the environment based on the installation type, timing, or quality goal. In most systems, pipe is either going into a pipe rack, beneath a floor or wall, or buried underground. In all these cases, conducting welds in the actual final location may not always be the most convenient location for welding. In fact, in most cases, it is preferable to prefabricate spool piece components and conduct final welds or hook-up in the pipe rack. If possible, set up a welding area to build the spool pieces. The weld area should be situated in an area that has reduced exposure to wind, possible rain, and extremely cold temperatures. Building spool pieces inside a weld shop may prove advantageous. A fairly controlled environment and organized work space will improve efficiency and quality of the system to be installed.

If the pipe is stacked during storage, the heavier pipes of larger dimensions should be stored at the bottom. It may, however, prove more practical to segregate the pipe by size for easier access during the project. Pipe should not be stored above the recommended maximum height of 4 feet. Fittings are best kept in their boxes or bags, as they are shipped in separate containers by size, style, and material. This will allow for simplified picking and inventory control throughout the project. Plastic piping should never be subjected to dragging over rugged terrain, as it is able to withstand little mechanical abuse compared to steel. Scarring, cutting, or scratching of the surface may cause a stress point that will lower the impact strength of the piping.

Shipping
The normal method for transportation of Poly-Flo systems is by truck. The pipe is capped or polyethylene wrapped to protect the ends from damage. Unless sizes prohibit, fittings are boxed and palletized according to the order quantities. Prefabricated spools can often be shipped by flatbed for easier loading and unloading. On large pipe orders, pipe may be palletized and polyethylene wrapped upon request.
Receiving and Inspection

Asahi /America piping systems are packaged carefully, inspected, and loaded according to the methods previously described prior to shipping. In addition, a detailed packing slip is included with each shipment, listing the quantities of each pipe and fitting and any Proweld equipment and valves. Back ordered items are also detailed on this packing slip, and are shipped immediately upon availability. The carrier assumes responsibility for delivering the product in the same condition in which it was loaded on the truck. When pipe, fittings and fabrications arrive on site they should be inspected to ensure the proper components have arrived and that no damage has occurred during shipment. Asahi / America goes to great lengths to ensure that pipe and fittings are properly packaged for shipment. If damage occurs, the freight company should be notified immediately. Upon arrival at the job site, the following receiving procedure is recommended: 1. Check the overall condition of the shipment, paying particular attention to whether the product is neatly stacked and material has not shifted, bounced, etc. 2. If there is visible evidence that the shipment is in disarray, check each and every item for damage. 3. If items are damaged, do not discard. These items must be returned for replacement. 4. Count quantities of all items to see if they correspond with the packing slip. Report any discrepancies immediately. If piping sustains only minor damage, such as small cuts or gouges, this material may be used without any adverse effect on piping performance. Since Poly-Flo pipe are thermally butt fused, sections containing the minor imperfections can be cut out and the piping re-fused together.
Handling and Unloading
Before unloading the truck, a smooth rounded protecting strip should be placed at the end of the truck bed to protect the piping from sharp edges on the truck. The use of any device to remove the pipe that may cause scars, such as end hooks or cable slings, is not acceptable. The piping can be handled with fork lifts by placing the fork lift under the mid-point of the piping. If the piping is stacked on racks, care should be taken to stack the piping to reasonable heights. Stacking to excessive heights may cause the piping to become ovalized, if left in this condition for a long enough period of time. If the piping is placed on the ground, clear the area of any sharp rocks or objects before doing so, and observe maximum stacking heights. To maintain the purity of the products prior to installation, PolyFlo pipe should be stored indoors in a site free from excessive dirt and dust. If the products are stored outdoors, they should be covered with a tarpaulin or other protective covering to avoid any possible damage from the weather. Poly-Flo black polypropylene, PVDF, and HDPE are resistant to almost all of the effects of weather. PVDF is completely unaffected by UV light. HDPE, with its black additive, is resistant to UV light, as is Poly-Flo black polypropylene. Care should be taken to properly support pipe during storage. When storing the piping in racks, close or continuous support should be provided by these racks to prevent permanent deflection of the piping. The piping should not be located near excessively warm areas such as boiler rooms or steam lines. In addition, if the piping is in an area subjected to temperature build-up due to the suns rays, adequate ventilation should be provided or an alternate site should be selected.

Preparation
To best use training time, preparation should be made prior to the trainers arrival on site. A recommended list of preparations follows. Ensure that project material is on site. It is not critical to have all material, but enough to start the project. Once training is complete, it is practical for the trainer to oversee the beginning portion of the installation. Many times new questions and challenges arise once the actual installation starts. In addition, if there is a significant period of time between the training and actual installation, operators may forget portions of the training or different operators may now be slated for the welding operation. Both scenarios require additional training. Ensure the required tools are on site. Do not open the tools until a certified trainer is present. If more tools are ordered during a project, this is no longer required as proper unpacking and set up of the equipment is covered in the training process. Ensure that the correct power is available. Some pieces of equipment may require 220 Volt single or three phase power supply. Consult with the factory or distributor at the time of tool ordering. If possible, have a conference room with an overhead projector available for the classroom portion of the training. If this is not available, select an area where all personnel will be able to see and hear the trainer for this portion of the discussion. Ensure that pipe samples are available for the training session. Asahi /America does not normally provide samples for the training. Formal training can be the key factor in starting a project off in the right direction. Take advantage of this service while on site. Asahi /America also offers field technicians for hire to oversee project welding and training for any specified amount of time. Contact Asahi /America for more information.

Training
A Poly-Flo system is a critical utility within a plant. It is often under flooring or underground where it is not easily accessible. In addition, Poly-Flo systems often are in overhead piping and provide additional needed safety for plant personnel from a leak in a hazardous chemical system. A repair to a system can prove difficult and costly. One bad weld can cause hours of repair and frustration, as well as significant lost revenue. For these reasons, it is critical to receive training at the time of job start-up and use certified personnel throughout the course of a project. Tool operation is only one of several factors in a thorough training course. Operators, inspectors, and managers need to understand the physical nature of the material: how to properly handle it, how to inspect welds, how to identify potential problems, how to properly maintain equipment, and finally, how best to tie into a line and test it. All of the above topics are discussed during Asahi /Americas certified training sessions. For the installation of a Poly-Flo system, the following training sessions are available: Tool Operator Training Quality Control Inspection Both of these can be conducted on site during the time of the start-up. The depth of training in a Poly-Flo piping system is based on the pipe size and location of the system to be installed. In addition to the above on-site training, Asahi /America also offers courses that are held at the corporate office for the following topics: Certified Maintenance and Repair Certified Trainer (prerequisites apply) Consult with Asahi /Americas Engineering Department for dates and availability of corporate programs. During the on-site training process, Asahi /America certified trainers will set recommendations for the class size based on the tool type. In general, groups of four are recommended for the welding operation portion of the training. Typically, two groups can be certified in one day on the welding portion of the seminar. On simple installations, it may be faster; and on more complex installations, it may be longer. To reduce the distraction within the class, it is important that only personnel who will be conducting the weld operation during the project participate in the training. It is also recommended that if a third party QC is used, they also attend the full training course to fully understand the welding process and QC parameters.

Checking equipment and welding technique daily is recommended. This is particularly important on larger projects where there are many welders on site. This daily check will allow QA to ensure all welders are up to speed on tool operation, welding technique, and inspection. Most problems in the field occur due to improper usage of equipment, rather than equipment failure. During the initial training of the project, many welds are produced in the presence of a qualified trainer. These welds should be kept and used for the daily checks. Each welder should conduct one coupon test weld and submit it to QA. The coupons should be compared to initial samples. Inspection should include bead formation, sizing, and weld label.
ASAHI /AMERICA
Rev. EDG 02/A
F-59
Conducting preventive maintenance to the equipment at the beginning of each day is required. The maintenance recommended varies on each weld tool type. Consult the Operation Manual for items to be checked daily. By keeping equipment in good operating condition and ensuring all operators are up to speed, tool problems or welding errors are less likely to occur.
POLY-FLO SYSTEMS
Components welded should be properly aligned and cannot be misaligned by more than 10% of the wall thickness. Pipe ribs should always be offset, not lined up in a continuous way, so as to allow any leaking media to flow to the bottom of the pipe so that it can be detected by a leak detection system. When correctly welding the inner and outer pipe and fitting simultaneously, the outer bead will provide an accurate depiction of the inner weld. If the outer pipe appears to be improperly aligned, then the inner pipe will also be out of alignment. For simultaneous fusion, it is necessary to ensure that the carrier component is flush in length with the containment component. This can be checked on each part with a straight edge after the planing and prior to the heating step of welding. Other methods include marking the ends of the carrier in four locations, 90 degrees apart, prior to planing. If planing on the containment pipe is complete and all the original marks on the carrier have been removed by the planer, it is then known that both parts are flush. Butt-fusion beads will vary in size and a little in shape with different materials. In general, PP and HDPE will have larger bead formations in comparison to PVDF. With PP and HDPE, there will be a pronounced double-bead formation that will be simple to identify. With PVDF, there will also be a double bead formation, but not as pronounced, and the material will appear to flow more together, making what appears to be one single weld. However, upon examination, you will always see the seam where the components were joined. In addition, when welding PVDF pipe to fittings, the fitting bead will be larger than the pipe bead. This is normal, as the resin used to produce PVDF fittings flows at a higher rate when melted, as compared to the resin used to extrude pipes. Mechanically, there will not be any issues on strength of the joint, only the appearance of the weld. Since outside temperature and conditions will have some effect on bead sizes, there is no formal specification for the size of the bead. Also, measuring each bead would be time consuming. During the training process, welding one of each size to use as a rough gauge for the project is recommended. These sample coupons can be referred to on a regular basis to check welding throughout the project. If bead formations do not meet the inspection criteria, they should be rejected. Consult the operation manual on how to correct the problem for each tool. If problems keep occurring, contact Asahi /America for assistance. Many times these issues can be cleared up quickly over the phone, avoiding waste in time and material.

Poly-Flo systems cannot be cut using a roll cutter. In most sizes, band saws, vertical or horizontal, will work very well for plastic. Since plastic pipes can have very heavy wall thickness, it is important to travel slowly through the band saw, so as to keep the blade from bending and creating an angled cut. For Poly-Flo pipes up to 2" x 3", a circular blade chop saw will also provide neat and accurate cuts. A miter box chop saw is also very useful if angled welds are to be done in the field. If only manual saws are available, a hack saw will certainly cut through small dimensions, but avoid using a fine blade, as it will take considerable time. In addition, reciprocating saws are generally not the best choice as the blades are generally only long enough to cut one wall at a time. If too fine a blade is used, the material will become quite hot and can fuse itself back together partially behind the blade travel. When using power saws to cut Poly-Flo pipe, be sure to use a deburring tool or small sharp knife to clean the ends of the inside diameter and outside diameter of both the inner and outer pipe walls. Also, be sure to deburr the ribs of the Poly-Flo pipe. This is done to ensure good pipe wall welds, as well as to ensure that there is no blockage of the annular space.

Butt Fusion
To inspect butt-fusion joints, the inspector should look for the following characteristics on each weld. Welds should have two beads that are 360 around the pipe. Beads should be of consistent height and width. Beads should have a rounded shape. Beads should be free of burrs or foreign material. A bead on either side should not reduce greatly in width or disappear.

POLY-FLO SYSTEMS
In designing above ground Poly-Flo systems, it is important to use adequate support spacings and reliable hangers. In a Poly-Flo system, support spacings are based on containment piping. The only difference between a double-containment and a single-wall system is the weight per foot will be less than that of the single-wall system when filled with fluid. Based on the carrier piping being filled with water and a maximum deflection of 0.1 inch between supports, Tables F-18 through F-21 will provide proper support spacings for Poly-Flo systems, by size and material, in inches.

Limitations of Inspection Following proper weld procedures, in conjunction with a thorough inspection process, will lead to a safe and reliable system. However, a weld cannot be 100% judged by viewing it after the fusion is complete. Bad welds with obvious problems can be identified, such as missing beads, small beads, and misalignment, but other problems may not be easily found. Cold welds occur when an operator either maintains too high a force during the heat soak time, or joins the material at too high a force. The resulting effect is that molten material is pushed to the outer bead, and cooler material is forced together. The problem with inspecting a cold weld is the outer bead is the same as a good joint. Since the occurrence of a cold weld is difficult to find and inspect, it is important to use proper welding procedures when joining the material. The issue of inspecting and avoiding a cold weld is no different than a PVC joint that has not been primed prior to cementing. You cannot tell after the weld is made, but if you correctly follow procedures, it will not occur. Cold welds can be avoided with the following operating techniques on all butt-fusion equipment: Ensure proper heating element temperature throughout the project. Use the correct welding parameters by pipe size, wall thickness, and material. Do not delay between removal of heating element and joining of material. Do not slam material together after heating. Material should be joined quickly, but the pressure build up should be smooth and even. Do not join components together above the joining force. . If joining force is exceeded during the weld, it is a bad weld. Do not try to back off of the pressure after the weld is made, as the exceeding force will have pushed the weld material out of the joint being made. This can cause a cold weld, resulting in a weakened joint.

Step 8. Hanging
Hanging any Poly-Flo system is not that much different than hanging a metal system. Typically, the spacing between hangers is shorter due to the flexibility of plastic. In addition, the type of hanger is important. Hangers should be placed based on the spacing requirements provided in Tables F-18 thru F-21. Since thermoplastic materials vary in strength and rigidity, it is important to select hanging distances based on the material you are hanging. Also, operating conditions must be considered. If the pipe is operated at a higher temperature, the amount of hangers will generally be increased. Finally, if the system is exposed to thermal cycling, the placement of hangers, guides, and anchors is critical. In these cases, the hanger locations should be identified by the system engineer and laid out to allow for expansion and contraction of the pipe over its life of operation.

When hanging a plastic system, it is important to use hangers that will not provide pinpoint loads or other unnecessary stresses on the pipe itself. In general, an adequate hanger or support will have a minimum surface area of one-inch wide supporting the pipe and shall be free of sharp edges and burrs that will abrade and/or cut the pipe. The support shall also provide for axial movement with no lateral movement allowed. Hangers that wrap around the pipes circumference uniformly or allow the pipe to rest without restraint are recommended. U-bolt style hangers are not allowed unless proper shields are used to prevent point loading. Hangers that secure the pipe 360 around the pipe are preferred. Thermoplastic clamps are also recommended over metal clamps, as they are less likely to scratch the pipe in the event of movement. If metal clamps are specified for the project, they should be inspected for rough edges that could damage the pipe. Ideally, if a metal clamp is being used, an elastomeric material should be used in between the pipe and the clamp.

Figure F-110. Trench detail Welding in a trench should also be preplanned. It is common that all welding is done above ground, and then, the welded components are all lowered into the trench. In many instances, it may be necessary to weld in the trench. For conducting welds in a trench, it is important to allocate space for the machine, as it will be wider than the pipe itself. Widening the trench to accommodate the machine may be required.
Proper trenching and burial of a pipe system requires engineering prior to an installation. Asahi /Americas Engineering Manual (Section C) provides a comprehensive guide to the burial calculations load tolerance of thermoplastic pipe. This information should be supplied and be specified prior to installation. Refer to Asahi /Americas manual for the burial calculations. For installation purposes, it is important to look at several factors as the installer of underground piping. Soil conditions should match that of the specification and/or drawings. Trenches should be dug according to plan. Pipe should be surrounded by specified soil type and compaction. Accommodations for welding in the trench should be made. Safety issues of being in a trench should always be observed. For each underground installation, burial designs will specify depth of trench and width of trench. The wider the trench, the more load the pipe will see upon compaction. Therefore, it is important to follow trench design closely to avoid excess load on the pipe. In addition to the trench details, the type of soil becomes important. Different types of soils have different densities and will create varying loads on the buried pipe. If the soil does not match that of the design, it needs to be rechecked or a different top fill may be required. The surrounding material of the pipe is also important. Items such as large rocks may cause pinpoint loads on the pipe that could eventually damage the pipe. Figure F-110 depicts a recommended cross section of a trench and proper fill material and compaction.
Trench Preparation and Considerations

The recommended trench width can be found by adding one foot to the width of the pipe to be buried. Larger trench widths can be tolerated, but trench widths greater than the diameter plus two feet typically produce large loads on the pipe. For small diameter pipes (4" and less), smaller trench widths are suggested. The important point to remember is that the trench width at the top of the conduit is the dimension that determines the load on the pipe. Therefore, the sides of the trench can be sloped on an angle starting above this point to assist in minimizing soil loads in loose soil conditions (prior to compaction). If the trench widths described are to be exceeded, or if the pipe is installed in a compacted embankment, the embedment should be compacted to 2.5 pipe diameters from the pipe on both sides. If this distance is less than the distance to the trench walls, the embedment materials should be compacted all the way to the trench wall. When installing long lengths of piping underground, it may not be necessary to use elbows, as long as the minimum radius of bending for specific diameters and wall thickness are observed. If the soil is well compacted, thrust blocks are not required. However, if changes of directions are provided with tees or elbows, or if the soil is not very well compacted, thrust blocks should be provided. The size and type of thrust block is related to maximum system pressure, size of pipe, direction of change (vertical or horizontal), soil type, and type of fitting or bend. To determine thrust block area, a geotechnical engineer should be consulted, and soil bearing tests conducted if deemed necessary. If the bottom of the trench is below the water table, actions must be taken to adequately correct the situation. The use of well points or under-drains is suggested in this instance, at least until the pipe has been installed, and backfilling has ASAHI /AMERICA

than 10 psi. Monitor the pressure gauge. There may be some initial decrease in pressure due to the creep properties of the plastic. Allow at least 30 minutes for the system to stabilize, then re-charge back up to 10 psi. This is considered the beginning of the test. Monitor the pressure for a minimum of 2 hours up to a maximum of 12 hours. If there is a pressure drop in excess of 10% of the beginning pressure, the test should be considered failed. If this occurs, continue to monitor the carrier gauge to determine if the leak is to atmosphere or into the carrier space.
proceeded to the point at which floatation can no longer occur. The water in the trench should be pumped out, and the bottom of the trench stabilized with the use of suitable foundation material, compacted to the density of the bedding material. For unstable trench bottoms, as in muddy or sandy soils, excavate to a depth 4" to 6" below trench bottom grade, backfill with a suitable foundation material, and compact to the density of the bedding material. Be sure to remove all rocks, boulders, or ledge at least 6" in any direction from the pipe. At anchors, valves, flanges, etc., independent support should be provided by the use of a reinforcing concrete pad poured underneath the pipe equivalent to five times the length of the flange, valve, or anchor. In addition, reinforcing rods should be provided to keep the appurtenance from shifting, thereby preventing shearing and bending stresses on the piping. It is strongly suggested that an elastomeric material be used to prevent stress concentration loading on the piping caused by the reinforcing rod.
Carrier Test
If the carrier pipe is intended for pressure service, a hydrostatic pressure test must be used. In any hydrostatic pressure test, provisions must be made to vent all air out of the inner pipe. If necessary, special high-point vents should be used to bleed any trapped air. Air pockets can create a dangerous condition if a cold weld exists and fails during the test. Air pockets can cause rapid and extensive propagation of fault lines should a failure occur. Filling the system Again, the piping must be properly capped and the test fixture installed. Water can then be introduced very slowly at the low point of the system. Under no circumstances should the velocity of the water exceed two feet per second, as water hammer can create extremely high surge pressures. The system can then be brought up to test pressure using a hand pump or similar equipment. Conducting the test The system should be brought up to test pressure in gradual steps of no more than 10 psi. There may be some initial degradation of the pressure due to the creep properties of the plastic. Allow at least 30 minutes for the system to stabilize, then re-charge back up to test pressure. This is considered the beginning of the test. Monitor the pressure for a minimum of 2 hours up to a maximum of 12 hours. If there is a pressure drop in excess of 10% of the beginning pressure, the test should be considered failed. Locating a Leak In the event of a leak in the containment area, it may be possible to diagnose if the leak path is into the carrier or out to atmosphere by monitoring the gauge on the carrier for pressure build up. If the leak is out to atmosphere, the simplest way to locate the leak is by soaping the joints. If the leak is into the carrier, then an ultrasonic leak detection gun must be used as described below. In the event of a leak in the carrier, the pressure should be relieved and the water drained to prevent flooding of the annular space. If the annular space does become flooded, it may be necessary to dry it by purging with dry air or nitrogen (this depends on the type of leak detection used and the requirements of the system owner).

Procedures for testing installed sections of Poly-Flo systems must take into account factors affecting both carrier and containment pipes. Basic recommendations may be given, but a comprehensive testing program should be developed for each and every system design. The program should be developed based on the requirements and characteristics of the particular system at hand. Where possible, a test fixture can be used. These testing fixtures allow the testing of both the carrier and the annular spaces from one location with a minimum number of welds. Water should not be introduced into the annular space. Therefore, a low-pressure air test should be used to test the containment area. Under no circumstances should an air test exceed 10 psi. Any air test in excess of 10 psi is extremely dangerous, due to the compressibility of air and the large amount of potential energy that can be released in the event of a catastrophic failure. The carrier should be tested hydrostatically to no more than 1.5 times the maximum operating pressure of the lowest rated component in the system (never to exceed 150 psi). For all testing, the system must be thoroughly tied down to prevent shock-induced reactions or whipping. All personnel in the area must be kept clear and advised of the inherent dangers of pressure testing. All testing must be conducted prior to a buried system being backfilled.
Annular Test
The system must be properly capped and the test fixture installed. The carrier pipe must, in all cases, be filled prior to any test on the annular space. This is done to ensure that the carrier pipe will not collapse during the test. Pressure gauges should have a small enough scale to be able to detect small changes in air pressure. Charge the annular space to no more
ASAHI /AMERICA
Rev. EDG 02/A
F-63
To determine the location of the leak, Asahi /America, Inc. has ultrasonic leak detection guns available. The gun is capable of hearing airflow through the containment pipe wall. To locate the leak, apply a compressed air charge of no more that 10 psi on the pipe. Using the gun, walk the pipe line placing the gun extension against the containment wall. The compressed air escaping through the leak path will be heard through the earphones of the gun, thus locating the leak. In many cases, the time required to locate a leak is less than one hour. The customer should supply necessary reducer bushings and fittings. Provisions must be made to accommodate a pressure gauge, bleed valve, shutoff valve, and air/water connection on each end of the tee. The left side of the tee tests the carrier; the right side tests the containment.

Repairs to Systems without Flexibility

Flanged Repairs (similar materials) Poly-Flo systems offer patented, fully pressurized, double-wall flanges that permit the flow of fluids through the annular space, as shown in Figure F-111. (Consult factory for pressure rating.)

3'- 6" (minimum)

A properly designed, installed, and maintained double-containment piping system will provide years of reliable service. The system, however, should offer the means to perform a repair in the event of a mishap, and this repair should be of such quality that the operating parameters (pressure, temperature) and safety factors are not reduced. The Poly-Flo system offers this capability for all pressure ratings with minimum disruption to site conditions. The first step in a repair procedure is to isolate the leak source. The ease of finding a leak is determined by the leak detection method selected at the time of installation. The use of a leak detection cable will pinpoint the location of the leak to plus or minus three feet, and is possibly the most efficient system. The low-point sensors will identify a zone that has been contaminated. Further testing methods will be required to determine the location of the actual leak source. Several methods are available for this, including the use of an ultrasonic test gun, fiber optic cameras, and dye solutions. These methods, although more time consuming, are viable alternatives to leak detection cable. The second step in a repair procedure is to flush the carrier and containment pipes to remove any hazardous chemicals that will create safety concerns for the workers doing the repairs. The ability to flush the system is determined by the initial design. The installation of high-point vents and low-point drains in the containment pipe will provide a safe means to perform the flushing. Attempts to install high-point vents and low-point drains during repair are costly and potentially dangerous. The third step is to expose the damaged pipe and perform the repair procedure with one of the following methods. The amount of pipe that needs to be exposed will depend on which repair method is chosen. A mechanical, flanged repair will take considerably less exposure of the damaged pipe than a thermal butt-fusion repair method.

Butt-Fusion Repairs (similar materials) The second method of repair is performed without the use of flanges, but instead, only with thermal butt fusion. The use of butt fusion as the repair procedure requires a larger excavation due to the requirement that the pipe be able to move about one inch to perform the weld. To perform the repair: 1. The damaged section of pipe is removed and the area cleared to allow the pipe to move in the radial direction. Note that only one end of the pipe needs this flexibility (Figure F-115).

COMPRESSED AIR PIPING SYSTEMS
Not all welding can be conducted in a shop and eventually field welds will need to be done. Some systems will be installed completely outside, with all the welds perhaps conducted in place. When welding outside, several factors have to be considered. It is always important not to weld in the rain. Rain will damage equipment and improperly influence the weld. For rainy days, a shelter or tent should be constructed over equipment. In addition to rain, high winds, and cold temperatures below 40 F, will negatively influence the welding process. If these conditions are not avoidable, a heated tent structure is advised. For specific recommendations by tool type, consult the Asahi /America Engineering Department. When conducting field welds in a pipe rack or in a trench, it is important to have the location of the welding planned. Vertical welds in any location will prove more difficult to conduct and should be avoided. The field weld that connects up prefabricated spool pieces should be a pipe-to-pipe weld whenever possible. Pipe-to-pipe welds are easier to align and level, making the weld easier to conduct in possibly tight quarters. In all field welds, in the rack or in a trench, it is important to have ample room for welding equipment and to choose the proper welding equipment. In some underground installations, it may be necessary to increase the width of the trench in weld locations. Many underground systems are welded above ground and then lowered down into the trench to avoid placing equipment in narrow trenches. The same is true in crowded pipe racks. Many times, it will prove more efficient to prefab spools and use flanges or unions to connect them together in the pipe rack. Consult Asahi /America for the use of double containment flanges.

Installing any piping system properly requires preplanning. The installation is more than the welding of components. It requires the proper environment, material inventory, welding equipment, tools, and thorough training. This guide is to assist in the planning and installation of a compressed air/gas pipe system, either in a pipe rack or trench. This guide is aimed at industrial applications and not high-purity installations. For compressed air piping, Asahi /America recommends only the use of manufacturer approved materials for this application. In particular, the Air-Pro system from Asahi is the only system recommended for use in this application due to safety concerns. Air-Pro has been specifically designed and tested for the application of compressed air and gases. All other materials such as PVC, C-PVC, PVDF, and polypropylene are not recommended for compressed air and are not warranted by Asahi /America for that service. Asahi /Americas recommendations for project management follow. Step 1. Step 2. Step 3. Step 4. Step 5. Step 6. Step 7. Step 8. Step 9. Step 10. Step 11. Welding Environment Tool Selection Material Handling Training and Preparation Tool Commission and Daily Checks Pipe Cutting Weld Inspection Hanging Trenching and Burial System Testing Repair Procedures

Asahi /America does not set requirements for proper welding environments. As the installer, it is necessary to choose the environment based on the installation type, timing, or quality goal. In most systems, pipe is either going into a pipe rack, beneath a floor or wall, or buried underground. In all these cases, conducting welds in the actual final location may not always be the most convenient location for welding. In fact, in most cases, it is preferable to prefabricate spool piece components and conduct final welds or hook-up in the pipe rack. If possible, set up a welding area to build the spool pieces. The weld area should be situated in an area that has reduced exposure to wind, possible rain, and extremely cold temperatures. Building spool pieces inside a weld shop may prove advantageous. A fairly controlled environment and organized work space will improve efficiency and quality of the system to be installed.

The selection of the type of welding method conducted on an Air-Pro piping project should be based on the following criteria: Material Sizes to be installed Welding location Type of installation Number of welds Available expertise

Socket Fusion
The majority of Air-Pro systems are 1/2" to 4". In these sizes, the weld method available is socket fusion. Asahi /America offers two styles of socket fusion equipment: a small hand-held tool capable of welding up to 2" and a larger bench style tool capable of welding up to 4". Figure F-118. shows a brief pictorial of the socket fusion method. For further explanation of the socket fusion method, see Socket Fusion Welding Methods in the beginning of Section F.
Coupling Heater Inserts Pipe
Figure F-119. 2" hand-held socket fusion heater The hand-held tool also has the practical use of working in tight locations. Due to its compact size, it is recommended for use in pipe racks, trenches, etc. where larger bench style equipment may prove too bulky and cumbersome. The hand-held tool is also ideal for repairs and additions to existing systems.
Bench Socket Fusion
The bench socket fusion machine is just that; it sits on a bench in order to be operated. The tool, depicted in Figure F-120, is provided with a heating element for the socket inserts to be attached. It also has a set of clamps and moving beds to force the pipe and fittings in and out of the heater inserts.

Two Inch Hand-Held Socket Fusion Heater

This tool, depicted in Figure F-119, is a hand-held heating plate that accepts two sizes of socket fusion heater inserts. The tool is ideal for welding smaller dimensions and works very well in sizes 1/2"1". While the tool can hold inserts in 11/2"and 2", it does prove to be more difficult due to the heavy wall of Air-Pro, requiring more force from the operator to push the pipe and fittings into the heating inserts. For projects that are primarily 1" and below, the hand-held tool is recommended. If only a few welds in the larger dimensions are necessary, the project can be accomplished completely with the hand-held tool. Figure F-120. Bench socket fusion heater The advantage of the bench tool is the ease of operation. Fixing pipe and fittings into the clamps provides good alignment. The gear operation greatly assists in providing the required force to heat and join the components. If a system is made up primarily of 11/2" and larger, the bench tool is recommended. In smaller systems that are prefabricated, the bench tool may also provide a higher quality system in terms of weld aesthetics and alignment.

The bench tool is ideal for welding on a bench top, where the tool remains stationary. However, the tool can be placed on rollers and easily moved around if required. In trench applications, where a lot of welding may be required of straight runs of pipe, the bench tool can still be used. Each site condition is different, so experimentation with keeping the tool on the bench, rollers, or placement close to the ground will help find the fastest installation for a project.

Butt Fusion
In the Air-Pro Compressed Air Piping system, the majority of systems are joined using socket fusion. However, larger systems in 6"12" are available upon request. For these systems, butt fusion is the recommended welding method. Figure F-121. displays a brief pictorial of the butt-fusion welding method.
Butt fusion offers many advantages in an Air-Pro installation. When joining pipe to pipe, a coupling is not required. The two pipes are welded directly to each other. This reduces the amount of required fittings, as well as the amount of welds to be conducted. In the instance of Air-Pro being buried, the trench equipment proves ideal. It is designed to be pulled and dragged in a trench bottom. It is hydraulically operated, eliminating the need for bulk pull arms and gearing on equipment. In many systems below 6" that are primarily made of pipe, butt fusion is used. For these installations, it proves cost effective to reduce fittings and welds. This is highly recommended if the system is mostly straight runs of pipe. In 4" and below, Air-Pro is not available with butt-fusion fittings. Therefore, two types of welding equipment will be required on the job site to attach pipe and fittings.

When pipe, fittings, and valves arrive on site, they should be inspected to ensure the proper components have arrived and that no damage has occurred during shipment. Asahi /America goes to great lengths to ensure that pipe and fittings are properly packaged for shipment. If damage occurs, the freight company should be notified immediately.

Figure F-121. Butt-fusion welding process Depending on the size to be joined, the style of butt-fusion equipment will vary from manual operation to hydraulic style equipment. For an Air-Pro System being joined using butt fusion, Table F-22 provides the recommended tool for the application.
Preferably, pipe should be stored inside or in a trailer. Care should be taken to properly support pipe during storage. Use the hanging criteria for the proper support distance. Pipe can be stacked during storage. Heavier pipes of larger dimensions should be stored at the bottom. However, it may prove more practical to segregate by size for easier access during the project. Pipe should not be stored above the recommended maximum height of 4 feet. If material is stored outside, it is preferable to cover with a tarp in case of rain. Fittings are best kept in their boxes or bags, as they are shipped in separate containers by size, style, and material. This will allow for simplified picking and inventory control throughout the project.

An Air-Pro system is a straightforward installation and training requirements are minimal. Hand-held fusion can be learned in a period of one hour by most installers. Installations requiring bench style or butt-fusion equipment may require more training. In all cases, contact your distributor for proper training support prior to the job start, or even prior to ordering material. Training can then be planned and provided when the project is ready to begin. Proper welding is critical in any piping system. An unplanned shutdown can prove to be more costly than the piping construction itself. One bad weld can cause hours of repair and frustration, as well as significant lost revenue. For these reasons, it is critical to ensure all installers are trained and approved to use the equipment. Untrained personnel will not speed up a projects completion. Tool operation is only one of several factors in a thorough training course. Operators, inspectors, and managers need to understand the physical nature of the material: how to properly handle it, how to inspect welds, how to identify potential problems, how to properly maintain equipment, and finally, how best to tie into a line and test it.

Checking equipment and welding technique daily is recommended. This is particularly important on larger projects where there are many welders on site. This daily check will allow QA to ensure all welders are up to speed on tool operation, welding technique, and inspection. Most problems in the field occur due to improper usage of equipment rather than equipment failure. During the initial training of the project, many welds are produced in the presence of a qualified trainer. These welds should be kept and used for the daily checks. Each welder should conduct a one coupon test weld and submit it to QA. The coupons should be compared to initial samples. Inspection should include bead formation, sizing, and weld label. Conducting preventive maintenance to the equipment at the beginning of each day is required. The maintenance recommended varies on each weld tool type. Consult the Operation Manual for items to be checked daily. By keeping equipment in good operating condition and ensuring all operators are up to speed, it is less likely tool problems or welding errors will occur.

Preparation
To best use training time, preparation should be made prior to the trainers arrival on site. A recommended list of preparations follows. Ensure that project material is on site. It is not critical to have all material, but enough to start the project. Once training is complete, it is practical for the trainer to oversee the beginning portion of the installation. Many times new questions and challenges arise once the actual installation starts. In addition, if there is a significant period of time between the training and actual installation, operators may forget portions of the training or different operators may now be slated for the welding operation. Both scenarios require additional training. Ensure required tools are on site. Do not open the tools until a certified trainer is present. If more tools are ordered during a project, this is no longer required, as proper unpacking and set up of the equipment is covered in the training process. Ensure that the correct power is available. Consult with the factory or distributor at the time of tool ordering. Ensure that pipe samples are available for the training session. Asahi /America does not normally provide samples for the training. Formal training can be the key factor in starting a project off in the right direction. Take advantage of this service while on site. Asahi /America also offers field technicians for hire to oversee project welding and training for any specified amount of time. Contact Asahi /America for more information. Figure F-122. Roll cutter If you are not concerned about particle generation, then band saws, vertical or horizontal, will work very well for plastic. Since plastic pipes can have a very heavy wall thickness, it is important to travel slowly through the band saw to avoid having the blade bend and create an angled cut. For smaller pipe sizes, a circular blade chop saw will provide neat and accurate cuts. Cutting plastic pipe can be handled in a variety of methods. In small dimensions, 1/2" through 4", roll wheel pipe cutters are commonly available and work well. These types of cutters are similar to a tube cutter, but only larger. For an Air-Pro system using a roll cutter, it is important to ensure the wheel has a larger radius than the wall thickness of the pipe so it will cut all the way through.

If bead formations do not meet the inspection criteria, they should be rejected. Consult the operation manual for each tool on how to correct the problem. If problems persist, contact Asahi /America or your local distributor for assistance. Many times these issues can be cleared up quickly over the phone, avoiding waste in time and material. Never continue welding if proper fusion cannot be accomplished. This will only add to problems at a later time.
If only manual saws are available, a hack saw will certainly cut through small dimensions, but avoid using a fine blade as it will take considerable time. Reciprocating saws are generally acceptable as long as the blades are long enough to cross the entire diameter of the pipe. If too fine a blade is used, the material will become quite hot and can fuse itself back together partially behind the blade travel.

To ensure a safe and on time system start-up, initiating a standard inspection process on each project is recommended. This quality assurance measure can be conducted by third party QC or can be done by each individual operator after each weld. A recommended inspection report for recording quality assurance on each weld is attached at the end of this Section F. Use the recommendation of this weld inspection guide in conjunction with the equipment manual to achieve the best project results.
Socket Fusion
With socket fusion, beads are also present on the outside that should be used for inspection. With a socket weld, it is important to ensure that the bead of the pipe and the bead on the fitting are in contact. If the two beads are not in contact, or the bead from the pipe is not up against the socket, the proper insertion depth has not occurred. If beads do not meet, the weld will not be full strength and should be rejected. With socket fusion weld inspection, look for the following items: Bead formation on pipe in full contact with fitting 360 around the joint. Consistent bead 360 around the joint. Free of any burrs or foreign material. Proper alignment. Pipe needs to be inserted straight into the fitting without angle. Figure F-124 shows an example of acceptable and nonacceptable socket fusion joints.
No Gap Gap
Butt Fusion
To inspect butt-fusion joints, the inspector should look for the following characteristics on each weld. Welds should have two beads that are 360 around the pipe. Beads should be of consistent height and width. Beads should have a rounded shape. Beads should be free of burrs or foreign material. A bead on either side should not reduce greatly in width or disappear. Components welded should be properly aligned and cannot be misaligned by more than 10% of the wall thickness. Figure 123 shows a detail of a standard butt-fusion bead formation.
Figure F-124 Good weld
Bad weld
Following proper weld procedures, in conjunction with thorough inspection, will lead to a safe and reliable system. However, a weld cannot be 100% judged by viewing it after the fusion is complete. Bad welds with obvious problems can be identified, such as missing beads, small beads, and misalignment, but other problems may not be easily found. The cold weld is more difficult to identify, and virtually impossible with the naked eye. In a cold weld there is very little material joined together in the pipe wall area. The molten material has been forced to the outer and inner bead, and the unheated sections of the pipe have been forced together in the pipe wall region. In a proper weld, there is material joined together in the pipe wall, as well as in the inner and outer beads.
Figure F-123. Typical butt-fusion weld bead Butt-fusion beads will vary in size depending on the outside temperature, the diameter welded, and the operator. With Air-Pro, there will be a pronounced double-bead formation that will be simple to identify. Since outside temperatures and conditions will have some effect on bead sizes, there is no formal specification for the size of the bead. Also, measuring each bead would be time consuming. During the training process, welding one of each size to use as a rough gauge for the project is recommended. These sample coupons can be referred to on a regular basis to check welding throughout the project.
ASAHI /AMERICA

The problem with inspecting a cold weld is that the outer bead may be the same as a good joint. Since the occurrence of a cold weld is difficult to find and inspect, it is important to use proper welding procedures when joining the material. The issue of inspecting and avoiding a cold weld is no different than a PVC joint that has not been primed prior to cementing. You cannot tell after the weld is made, but if you correctly follow procedures, it will not occur. Cold welds can be avoided with the following operating techniques on all butt fusion and socket fusion equipment. Ensure proper heating element temperature throughout the project. Use the correct welding parameters by pipe size, wall thickness, and material. Do not delay between removal of heating element and joining of material. Do not slam material together after heating. Material should be joined quickly, but the pressure build up should be smooth and even. Do not join components together above the joining force.
When selecting hangers for a system, it is important to avoid using a hanger that will place a pinpoint load on the pipe when tightened. For example, a U-Bolt hanger is not ideal for hanging thermoplastic piping systems. While Air-Pro is most likely the most tolerant system to mishandling, improper hanging, scratching, and impacts, it is still best to avoid poor metal hangers when possible. Figure F-125 depicts the negative effect of a U-bolt hanger on a system.
Pressure Point
Pressure Point
Figure F-125. Effects of U-bolt on pipe Hangers that secure the pipe 360 around the pipe are preferred. Thermoplastic clamps are also recommended over metal clamps as they are less likely to scratch the pipe in the event of movement. If metal clamps are specified for the project, they should be inspected for rough edges that could damage the pipe. Ideally, if a metal clamp is being used, an elastomeric material should be used in between the pipe and the clamp.
Step 8. Hanging
Hanging any thermoplastic system is not that much different than hanging a metal system. Typically, the spacing between hangers is shorter due to the flexibility of plastic. In addition, the type of hanger is important. Hangers should be placed based on the spacing requirements provided in Appendix A. Since thermoplastic materials vary in strength and rigidity, it is important to select hanging distances based on the material you are hanging. Also, operating conditions must be considered. If the pipe is operated at a higher temperature, the amount of hangers will generally be increased. Finally, if the system is exposed to thermal cycling, the placement of hangers, guides, and anchors is critical In these cases. The hanger locations should be identified by the system engineer and laid out to allow for expansion and contraction of the pipe over its life of operation.

ASAHI /AMERICA
Rev. EDG 02/A
Prior to pressure testing, the system should be examined for the following items: 1. Pipe should be completed per drawing layout with all pipe and valve supports in place. 2. Pipe, valves, and equipment should be supported as specified, without any concentrated loads on system. 3. Pipe should be in good condition, void of any cracks, scratches, or deformation. 4. Pipe flanges should be properly aligned. All flange bolts should be checked for correct torques. 5. All joints should be reviewed for appropriate welding technique. See weld inspection procedure above. If any deficiencies appear, the quality control engineer should provide directions/repair.

Proper trenching and burial of a pipe system requires engineering prior to an installation. Asahi /Americas Engineering Manual (Section C) provides a comprehensive guide to the burial calculations load tolerance of thermoplastic pipe. This information should be supplied and be specified prior to installation. Refer to Asahi /Americas manual for the burial calculations. For installation purposes, it is important to look at several factors as the installer of underground piping. Soil conditions should match that of the specification and/or drawings. Trenches should be dug according to plan. Pipe should be surrounded by specified soil type and compaction. Accommodations for welding in the trench should be made. Safety issues of being in a trench should be checked. For each underground installation, burial designs will specify depth of trench and width of trench. The wider the trench, the more load the pipe will see upon compaction. Therefore, it is important to follow trench design closely to avoid excess load on the pipe. In addition to the trench details, the type of soil becomes important. Different types of soils have different densities and will create varying loads on the buried pipe. If the soil does not match that of the design, it needs to be rechecked or different top fill may be required. The surrounding material of the pipe is also important. Items such as large rocks may cause pinpoint loads on the pipe that could eventually damage the pipe. Figure F-126 depicts a recommended cross section of a trench and proper fill material and compaction.
Pressure Test
The Air-Pro system can be tested using compressed air. 1. Begin pressurizing the system in increments of 10 psi. Bring the system up to 100 psi and hold. Allow system to hold pressure for a minimum of two hours and up to a recommended 12 hours. Check pressure gauge after one hour. Due to natural creep effects in plastic piping, the pressure may have decreased. If drop is less than 10 psi, pump the pressure back up. At this time, the system may be fully pressurized to desired test pressure. 2. If after one hour the pressure has decreased more than 10%, consider the test a failure. Note the 10% value may need to be greater for larger systems. Also, note that Step 2 may need to be conducted several times if there are significant thermal changes in the environment. 3. Test is to be witnessed by quality control engineer, and certified by the contractor.

Figure F-126. Trench detail Welding in a trench should also be preplanned. It is common that all welding is done above ground, and then, the welded components are all lowered into the trench. In many instances, it may be necessary to weld in the trench. For conducting welds in a trench, it is important to allocate space for the machine as it will be wider than the pipe itself. Widening the trench to accommodate the machine may be required. Figure F-129. Ultrasonic leak detection gun ASAHI /AMERICA

If a leak is found or an addition is required to an existing system, there are several options on how to make the repair. In most systems, socket or butt fusion, there is a requirement for pipe movement when making a weld. To conduct a butt weld, one side of the tool moves in order to accommodate the planer, the heating element, and the final joining force. In a repair procedure, the need for movement of the existing pipe makes for the simplest repair.

Depending on the size and material, repairs can also be made to systems without any movement. If there is no flex for movement of the existing pipe in the region of the damaged pipe, the repair can be done using flanges or true union ball valves. 1. Remove the section to be repaired. 2. Weld flanges or unions on both ends of the existing piping. 3. Measure the distance from face to face and build a spool to fit into place. 4. Connect spool into place.

If the pipe is in an area where it can be moved, standard butt fusion or socket fusion equipment can be used. 1. Cut out the section in need of repair. It is best to conduct new tie-in welds on straight runs of pipe for easier alignment. 2. If several welds are required, prefab a spool piece on a bench and conduct only a few tie-in welds in the pipe rack. 3. Attach the tool to the existing pipe and properly support the machine to avoid sagging on stressing the pipe. 4. Conduct standard butt-fusion weld per operating procedures. It may be necessary to flex one end of the pipe out of the way of existing pipe. 5. Conduct final weld using the flexible side of the pipe system in the moving clamp.

VALVES
INTRODUCTION
An important part of any piping system is the selection of valves. Valve components determine a system's ability to control flow, pressure, and the distribution of media. The type and size of valves selected greatly impact a systems functionality. Selection criteria should include, as a minimum, valve size, quality, material of construction, Cv, control characteristic, and performance requirement. Other selection criteria may include production methods, design, actuators, accessories, and options. As with metal valves, thermoplastic valves come in a variety of sizes and configurations. Asahi /America is proud to offer the widest combination available. From 1/4" PVC ball valves to 24" PP butterfly valves, we are able to offer the right valve for the right application. The following section is designed to assist you in selecting the proper valve among our many choices. In order to determine which valve is best for your application, an understanding of each individual's features and benefits is required. Additional assistance, should it be required, is available from our knowledgeable and experienced staff of valve technicians and engineers.
INTRODUCTION
A valve with linear trim can be used for accurate flow control applications. Small movements in a valve's travel will correspond in small movements in rate of flow or pressure drop. Equal Percent Valves with equal percentage flow characteristics exhibit equal increments of valve travel and produce equal percentage changes in the existing flow. When the valve is near a closed position and the flow is low, the change in flow is minimal. With a high flow, the change in flow will be high. Equal percentage is generally used for pressure control, and also where minimal pressure drop is available at the valve or when the system has a varying pressure drop. Quick Opening Valves with quick opening characteristics near maximum Cv have relatively little travel. Quick opening valves are generally used for On/Off applications only. They inherently display poor flow control characteristics because initial small movements in valve travel equal large movements in Cv. Shortly after the initial open position, large movements in travel result in small movements in a valves Cv. Table G-1. Flow Control Characteristics
Flow Capacity
A valve's flow capacity is often expressed in terms of Cv. Cv is defined as the amount of gallons per minute that can flow through a valve with a 1 psi pressure drop. A valve with a Cv of 100, for example, would experience 1 psi of pressure drop at 100 gpm. Thus in systems with limited amounts of beginning pressure, such as thermoplastic systems, Cv is a useful tool in determining proper valve capacity. Valves with low Cv would result in high pressure drops to the point of restricting a system's ability to distribute its flow media. 100 Quick Opening Cv (percent) 80 60 40 Equal Percentage 20 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 Valve Opening (percent) 80 90 100 Linear
Control Characteristics
A valves control characteristic is another important selection criteria. A valves control characteristic can usually be sorted into the following three categories: Linear A valve with linear control will have its percent of full Cv corresponding to its percent of full open. In other words, valves that are physically opened 25%, are operating close to or at 25% of rated Cv. A valve with a Cv of 100 at 25% open is expected to be operating at a Cv of 25.

VALVE TYPES
VALVES
BUTTERFLY VALVES
Butterfly valves are another common type of thermoplastic valve. Butterfly valves generally use discs, which rotate on a center axis 90 from full open to full close. The thermoplastic disc uses interference fit against the valve body, usually with elastomer seal or gasket, to achieve bubble tight shut off. Butterfly valves have application flexibility. They are available in sizes from 11/2" to 36", with a variety of options for actuation, stem extensions, and bolting configuration. Butterfly valves also have better flow control than ball valves with equal percent characteristics, but should be limited to applications not requiring high precision control. These valves are also more tolerant to suspended particles with the exception of long, hair-like strands, which can hang up around the center axis.
BALL VALVES
Ball valves are one of the most common thermoplastic valves and are characterized as quick opening with positive, quick shutoff capabilities. Ball valves use an internal ball with flow through port. The valve is shut as the internal ball is rotated so the flow port faces against the valve body. Used primarily for on-off applications, ball valves are generally limited in plastics to line sizes 4" and below with some availability in full port 6" sizes. Excellent shut off is achieved with ball valves, but flow control should not be expected. Media with high concentrations of suspended particles should be avoided. The particles have a tendency to become lodged in between the ball and valve body, greatly reducing the life expectancy and functionality of the valve.

VALVES
DIAPHRAGM VALVES
Diaphragm valves have a flexible diaphragm, which is compressed against a sealing surface. A compressor, generally actuated by circular motion, compresses the diaphragm. Flow is directed up against the diaphragm and back down the sealing surface. Characterized by linear control, diaphragm valves are excellent for throttling and semi-precise flow control applications; especially in smaller sizes.
VALVE TYPES
GATE VALVES
Gate valves use a vertical plug, which is inserted into the flow path and seals the valve shut. Unlike diaphragm valves, the plug is generally of solid construction and completely lifts out of the flow path when opened. Gate valves are ideal for applications where lines may need snakes to remove debris. Gate valves have excellent shut-off capabilities with high tolerances for suspended particles. Gate valves have poor control abilities and are generally used for on-off applications.

Section C ENGINEERING THEORY AND DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Inside Diameter and Wall Thickness

= outside diameter = wall thickness = allowed pressure rating = design stress

To determine maximum velocity for clear liquids: Where:

= fluid density, (lb/ft3)

v = velocity (ft /s)

Basic definitions for fluid flow: For liquid:

Corrosive or erosive liquids: d = 1.475 w

SG = specific gravity = /62.4 P = pressure loss in psi hp = P = pressure head (ft)

= fluid density, h = head loss, (ft)

hv = For water: Where:

= velocity head (ft)

v = fluid velocity (ft/s) g = gravitational acceleration (32.174 ft/s2)

hg = z = gravitational head = 32.174 ft

Sizing a Thermoplastic Piping System

Suction or drain piping: d = 3.522

P = pressure loss due to friction (psi) = fluid density (lb/ft3)

Pressure Loss Calculations

P = 0.000668 Lv (laminar flow only)

d 0.0001 0.00005 0.000025 0.00001

To determine pressure loss in psi:

P = pressure loss (psi/100 ft of pipe)
