2 Introduction The world’s infrastructure is ageing. millions of kilometres of gas, water and sewer pipe need rehabilitation. The predicament is a worldwide problem in industrial countries, although this is not the case in many developing countries, where an ageing infrastructure is not a problem. A water infrastructure does not exist and it remains to be constructed. But these nations are facing other, difficult decisions about how to build and what materials to use in order to avoid what has happened in the more developed countries.
The main problem encountered in ageing structures is corrosion. And corrosion is not a reversible process. internally unprotected sewer pipes are rapidly deteriorating due to the presence of sulphuric acid in sanitation (sewerage) systems, which is generated through the hydrogen sulphide cycle. Externally, soil conditions and stray electrical currents deteriorate underground pipes. metallic pipes corrode when placed in poorly-drained soils with low resistivity. The presence of sulphate-reducing bacteria accelerates this corrosion. These problems can be significantly reduced, if not eliminated, by careful selection of pipe materials, which should have corrosion-resistance protection. The remedy to this situation is very simple: AmiAnTiT Polyolefin APPSCo pipes.
1 General
APPSCo is equipped with a modern continuous extrusion process polyethylene pipe-manufacturing facility. APPSCo is capable of producing both High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and medium Density Polyethylene pipes in accordance with iSO 4427, Din 8074 for water applications and iSO 4473, ASTm D2513 for gas applications - and any other standard required by the customers. The production process starts with the raw material, which can be either virgin HDPE and is in the form of granules. These are set to dry in the dryer in order to evaporate any water or moisture that has condensed on the raw material granules. This is then transported to the main hopper system, which doses the measured, weighed raw material into the extruder. The extruder heats the raw material to a temperature of between 180 and 200˚C (356-392˚ F) which is the idle temperature
for extrusion and shaping of HDPE. This is then ejected from the extruder in a continuous pipe shape to the screen changer. The screen changer examines the extruded product for impurities and removes them accordingly. Once the product has been extruded and cleansed of any impurities, the die and mandrel section takes place. In this section both the diameters and standard pipe dimensions are set, the die shapes the pipe diameter and the mandrels set the standard pipe dimensions (SPD). When the product has taken its final shape, it moves to the cooling & vacuum tanks. in the cooling tank the pipes are calibrated and cooled down for the final stage. The final stage consists of marking, cutting or possibly coiling the pipes.

4 Product Advantages
5.1 molecular Structure
Polyethylene (PE) is a polymer consisting of long chains of the monomer ethylene C2H4, also known as ethane. The molecules, which consist of two CH2 groups, are connected by a double bond.
The properties of polyethylene are primarily determined by density, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution. The material properties vary in accordance with density. When density increases, the followingproperties also increase:
Yield stress (tensile strength), Modulus of elasticity, Hardness, Solvent resistance, Impermeability to gases and vapours.
5.2 Raw material ClassificationsPolyethylene is classified into several different categories, based mostly on its density and branching. The mechanical properties of PE depend significantly on variables such as the extent and type of branching, the crystal structure and the molecular weight. Below is a clarification of only the two classifications of PE that APPSCo uses for producing its pipes
HDPE (High density polyethylene)
HDPE is characterized by a density of greater than or equal to 0.941 g/cm3.it has a low degree of branching and thus stronger intermolecular forces and tensile strength. The lack of branching is ensured by an appropriate choice of catalyst and reaction conditions. HDPE is also used in packaging products.

Figure 5-3 Chemical chart of HDPE
The HDPE (High density poly-ethylene) pipe grade material that APPSCo uses has a low degree of branching, with short side chains (“linear polyethylene”). The short side chain allows higher crystallisation, thus resulting in higher density and better material properties.

5.5 material Regression CurveThe material regression curve shows the material strength in relation to the time at various temperatures (20 ˚C, 60 ˚C and 80 ˚C).
Following the SEm-evaluation according to iSO/TR 9080 for the HDPE material, the regression curves of both PE 100 and PE 80 material is as shown in the following figures:
5.3 Raw material Colour
HDPE basic materials are classified as a non-coloured material. Pre-compounded, coloured HDPE or materials from the supplier are recommended for the manufacturing of pipes; HDPE is available in black, & blue. Other colour can be provided based on request.

Pipe colour is dictated by the applications for which they are to be used. Black and blue coloured pipes are for potable water applications and yellow are for gas applications. Other pipe colours are possible depending on the relevant water/district authority requirements.
5.4 Pipe material Classification
High density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe grade material is classified as PE 100 and PE 80. The classification number for a thermoplastic material is 10 times the minimum required strength of the material (mRS) as shown in the following table
Table 5-1 Classification of HDPE material
Note:The points below need to be considered / submitted by the pipe manufacturer in order to confirm the right material to be used:
Raw material technical data sheet.
Proof of the material having been listed as PE 100 or PE 80, by third parties (e.g. the Plastic pipe institute – Listing in technical report TR # 4, or RAL listing for HDPE material).
Third party long term test report to show mRS value and the raw material regression curve as per iSO/TR 9080.
in the case of potable water, the material supplier and material code need to be approved by organizations to in order to confirm their compliance with AnSi # 61 (nSF and WRAS).
UV stabilizers, colour, antioxidants and pigments are included in the pre-compounded material.

6.3 Allowable Bending Radius
APPSCo polyethylene products are smoother than steel, cast iron, ductile iron, or concrete etc, a smaller PE pipe can carry an equivalent volumetric flow rate at the same pressure. it has less drag and a lower tendency for turbulence at high flow. Because of its superior chemical resistance, APPSCo PE pipes are flexible in behavior, and can be readily bent in the field. in general terms, a minimum bending radius of (20-28 x Dn) outside diameter of the pipe be adopted for PE 100 and PE 80 material.

6.5 Excellent Flow Characteristics
Because polyethylene is smoother than steel, cast iron, ductile iron, or concrete, a smaller PE pipe can carry an equivalent volumetric flow rate at the same pressure. it has less drag and a lower tendency for turbulence at high flow. its superior chemical resistance and “non-stick” surface combine to almost eliminate scaling and pitting and preserve the excellent hydraulic characteristics throughout the pipe service life.
6.6 Overall Service (Design) Coefficient (C) or Safety Factor
“C” is the overall coefficient with a value greater than 1, which takes into consideration service conditions as well as properties of the components of a piping system other than those represented in the lower confidence limit. Safety factors shall be specified in the appropriate product standards. According to iSO 12162 standard, the minimum safety factor for polyethylene pipes is 1.25 for water application and 2 for gas application as per iSO 4437.
6.7 UV Resistance
HDPE material has generally excellent prolonged weather-ability properties and can readily withstand wide variations of weather without degradation. The finely divided carbon black particles dispersed in the HDPE material (2 to 2.5% by weight) will surely ban the effect of the ultraviolet (UV) waves existing in the sunlight. Hence, unlike other plastic materials, HDPE pipes can be stored for years without any fear of degrading and require no additional protection for external storage, or prolonged use in natural conditions.
6.8 Abrasion Resistance
HDPE Pipes have high resistance to abrasion. When conveying solids or slurries that contain coarse- particle-size solids with velocities up to 3 m/s, the expected lifetime of HDPE pipe is much longer than that of other materials like steel, cement and PVC. in general terms HDPE Pipes have superior abrasion resistance to other traditional material and provide a more cost effective solution for abrasive slurry installation.
6.9 thermal Expansion & Contraction
As a result of temperature changes, all materials experience the thermal expansion/ contraction phenomena. Coefficient of linear expansion of polyethylene is higher than most other piping materials. (1.8 x 10-4 mm/mm.°C). Forces generated by thermal stresses are much lower due to lower modulus of elasticity of polyethylene and its capability to stress relaxes.
6.10 Reduction Factor
Two major factors (working pressure vs. temperature) plays major role in the life span and performance of HDPE Pipes. HDPE can give optimum performance under 20˚ C Temperature. However, if an environment where temperature and working pressure both are high, the following reduction factor in the life’s span of HDPE Pipe will apply:
6.11 Chemical Resistance Data
Unlike other piping materials, polyethylene is highly resistant to a wide range of chemical solutions such as acids, bases and solvents (refer to the following table for more details). Polyethylene pipe will not degrade due to chemicals in the soil. it does not support the microbiological growth as bacteria, fungi and algae. The resistance to a certain chemical depends on three factors: temperature, and chemical concentration.
Two major factors (working pressure vs. temperature) plays major role in the life span and performance of HDPE Pipes. HDPE can give optimum performance under 40˚ Tempera-ture. However, if an environment where temperature and working pressure both are high, the following reduction factor in the life’s span of HDPE Pipe will apply:

9.2 trench construction and dimensions
in some instances, it may be acceptable to lay PE pipe directly on the bottom of the trench - but only where the soil is uniform, relatively soft and fine-grained – and free from any large flints, stones, or other hard objects that may cause point loading on the pipe. The trench bottom should be brought to an even finish, providing consistent support for pipes along their whole length.
in other cases, the trench should be cut to a depth that will allow for the necessary thickness of selected bedding material below the bottom of the pipe. if soil from the excavation is unsuitable, granular material should be imported. Gravel or broken stone graded between five and ten millimetres in size provides suitable bedding, since it requires minimal compaction. Coarse sand, a sand and gravel mix, or gravel smaller than 20 mm are also all acceptable straight from the trench.
Unless specified, accurate levelling of the trench bottom is unnecessary for most pressurized systems. The slope should be graded evenly in gravity flow systems. Excavators with narrow buckets are best suited to conventional trenching methods. Pipes are located by being lifted into the correct position. After installation, the ground can be backfilled and consolidated.
Polyolefin pipe systems are designed to make installation quicker, easier and more cost-effective. installation is as much a part of the costing equation as ease of maintenance and the cost of the pipe system itself.
Polyolefin’s great advantages in terms of installation are its lightness and flexibility, coupled with its durability and totally secure jointing methods. For all modern pipe-laying techniques, whether in rehabilitation work or the construction of new pipelines above or below ground level, polyolefin systems usually provide the simplest, most economical solution. And indeed, rehabilitation techniques which rely on polyethylene’s unique properties have been developed.
A major advantage of PE is that pipe lengths can be butt-fused or electrofusion-jointed to form a continuous string of pipe and there is normally no need for thrust blocks. This, together with the material’s inherent flexibility, makes polyethylene ideally suited to a full range of new and innovative installation techniques
9.1 trenching and bed preparation
installation of PE/PP systems requires minimal trench width; therefore considerable savings can be made in terms of both reduced labour costs and less waste spoil to be removed from site. Additionally, it cuts reinstatement costs and requires smaller quantities of imported backfill.
Crown
Invert
Figure 9-1 Pipe orientation
The dimensions of a trench-line opening are normally governed by the pipe diameter, the jointing method and site conditions. The normal minimum depth of cover for mains should be 900 mm from ground level to the crown of the pipe. Trench width should be as narrow as possible, but typically not less than the outside diameter of the pipe, plus 250 mm to allow for correct compaction of side fill unless specialized narrow trenching techniques are used.
9 Underground Installations
9.3 Backfilling
Unless special procedures apply, suitable excavated material may be returned to the trench and compacted in layers of an appropriate thickness, as specified in the specification, but not exceeding a layer height of 150 mm. Heavy compaction equipment should not be used until the fill over the crown of the pipe is more than 300 mm.
For aboveground installations, please contact the APPSCo technical department.

APPSCo thermoplastic pipe can be jointed using different methods. This includes jointing by:
Butt-fusion welding
Electrofusion welding
Compression coupling
Flange connection
10.1 Butt-fusion welding process
Polyethylene pipes may be produced, to be connected by means of the butt welding method, depending on the project. However there are limitations for using this jointing system, with regard to both diameter and wall thickness (figure 10-1) .
Connection by this welding method can be applied to diameters of between 50 mm and 1600 mm; and in relation to the diameter, to wall thicknesses from 5 mm to 100 mm. The butt-welding process is carried out in accordance with the DVS 2207 standard.
Attention should be paid to the following points when connecting PE pipes using the butt-welding method:
1 The temperature the welding environment should not be below 5° C or above 35° C.
2 The wall thickness of the pipes to be connected must be equal; if there is any difference, then such difference must not exceed 10%.
3 The ends of the two pipes to be welded are secured by the clamps of the welding machine. The end of the loose pipe or the pipe to be added to the pipeline should be placed in the movable hydraulic part of the machine.

6 Once the welding surface has been scraped, it must be protected from dirt and the pipe ends need to be cleaned. if there is any re-soiling, the scraping process must be repeated.
7 Fix the heating element, (temperature 200° C - 220° C), between the two pipe ends, keep the same hydraulic pressure for the duration of the heating up time, and then remove the heating element within a time frame equal to the release time.

10.2 Electrofusion welding process
Electrofusion welded joints of polyethylene pipes are made in accordance with international standard DVS 2207. Welding pipes with two different wall thicknesses are possible using this welding method. The electrofusion welding machines used for welding are light; they also facilitate welding with various welding parameters, and filling of the welding made, if necessary.
Using the electrofusion welding process, pipes made of the same raw material may be welded. The steps below must be followed before starting electrofusion welding:
1 The solution flow speed for HDPE electrofusion connection is 0.3.....1.7 gr/10 min (190° C/5kg). The solution flow speeds of pipes to be welded and the muff should be between these values. Pipes with the same solution flow speed may be welded.
2 The area in which welding is to take place must be weather-proofed. (For example, protected from snow, rain, wind, effective sunlight, etc.)
3 The temperature of the welding environment must be between 5° C and 50° C.
4 As all welding parameters are controlled by the site machine; the operator needs only to present the barcode (on the code card supplied with the coupling) to the machine’s reader and the machine setting will be done automatically.
5 The pressure test must be initialized at least one hour after the welding process is finished, once the pipes are completely cooled. The pressure test is done in accordance with Din 4279/1.To commence this procedure 1.5 x Pn. pressure is applied to the welded pipes. if this pressure value does not decrease,then the test has been passed.
The electrofusion welding procedure is as follows:
1 The entry limit is marked on the pipe, with the pipe edges to be welded – properly cut and smooth – placed inside the piece to be welded up to the ‘pipe leaning limit’ (i.e. the limit to which the pipes can lean).

2 The surface to be welded must be cleaned and any surface oxidation must be scraped offor to welding.
3 The pieces to be welded must be unpacked at the welding station. All electrofusion surfaces to be welded, on both pipe and fitting, must be cleaned with industrial alcohol, and once cleaned, they must not be touched.

4 The electrofusion welding ends must be secured, once it has been checked that they are in a straight line with the pipe, with their ends facing upwards. The welding machine sockets are placed at the weld ends and prepared for welding.
10.3 Compression Coupling Joint
The pipes are connected to each other by means of coupling adaptor. Having been cut vertical to its axis, the pipe is inserted into the coupling up to the raised point. When both pipes are in position, the bolts are tightened by hand and the connection thus achieved. if the pipe diameter is 40 mm or higher, the bolts should be tightened using a special wrench rather than by hand. This joining method is not recommended for pipes with diameters exceeding 110 mm.
5 Once the ‘ready’ has been displayed by the machine, the welding process will start when the barcode is presented to the machine’s reader, or when the welding parameters are entered manually. Generally, welding machines display the welding time and voltage on the monitor.
10.4 Flange Connection
A flange joint connection is used for combining PE pipes with equipment such as steel pipes, valves, pumps, and condensers. it is also used in cases where the pipeline needs to be dismantled at a later stage, or for connecting PE pipes to different pipe materials. Steel rings, the flange/backing ring, and the flange adaptor are shown in figure 10-2 .
Stub ends are fixed on both ends of the PE pipes and connected with bolts and nuts. Do not torque the bolts in circular order, but in alternate rows. Do not pull on the pipelines while tightening the bolts, in order to prevent causing an overload on the structural elements that guide the pipes.

Polyolefin materials are flexible, lightweight and easy to handle. nevertheless, care should be taken not to cause scuffing or gouging of the surface.
11.1 Straight Lengths and Bundles
A flatbed vehicle, free from sharp objects and projections, should be used for the transportation of pipe systems. When lifting pipe bundles by crane, wideband slings should be used; do not use chains or hooks. For lengths of over 6 metres, load distributing beams should be inserted, spaced at equal distances.
Allow for a certain amount of deflection or slight bending of pipe bundles when loading or unloading. 6 metre bundles may be handled using a forklift, but longer lengths should be moved using a side loader of four supporting forks or by a crane with a load-distributing beam. individual lengths should be handled in a similar way. Skid timbers and rope slings can be used to ease unloading on site.
11.2 Coils
Small coils:
Small coils of pipe strapped onto pallets are easily handled by forklift. Large coils of 125 mm to 180 mm pipe will require lifting individually by forklift and can be lifted as shown in the following figures:

Releasing coils:
Pipes held in coils are under high tension and must be strapped accordingly. These can be hazardous if released incorrectly, particularly if the end of the pipe is not kept restrained at all times. It is most important to read and understand the following guidelines before attempting to release coils. When uncoiling coiled pipes with an OD of more than 63 mm, care must be taken to prevent the straps being released suddenly, and the use of an uncoiling stand is recommended.
For outer bands with additional strapping of individual layers:
Do not remove any of these bands until the pipe is required for installation.
Remove them carefully, from the outmost layer first, so that only the length of pipe needed immediately is released.
Successive layers can be released by removing banding as the pipe is drawn away from the coil.
Never:
Drag or roll individual pipes or bundles.
Throw or drop the pipe or fitting from the delivery vehicle.
Use metal slings, hooks, or chains when handling.
Expose pipes or fittings to prolonged sunlight.
Stack more than three metres or three bundles high.
Place pipes or fittings in contact with lubricant or hydraulic oils, gasoline, solvents or other aggressive materials.
Always:
Examine the pipes carefully before installation and any damaged pipes.
Store pipes on flat, firm ground which is able to withstand the weight of the pipes and the lifting apparatus.
Stack the heaviest pipe at the bottom.
Anchor the load securely to prevent slippage. (As PE pipes have very smooth inner and outer surfaces. Be sure the unloading equipment is rated to handle the weight of the pipe).
Avoid excessive stacking heights and stack pipes in straight rows. Pipes can become distorted if they are not stored properly.
Unload one pallet, bundle, or strip load layer at a time. Truck straps securing a bundle or strip load layer should be released when that bundle or layer is to be unloaded.
Keep pipe/fittings well away from sharp objects. Use wide, non-metallic slings.
Exercise special care when handling pipes in wet conditions, since they may become slippery.
Keep protective packaging intact until the pipes/ fittings are required for use.
Keep pipes/fittings away from intense heat, except when jointing.
Allow for some bending deflection when pipes are loaded and unloaded. Lifting points should be evenly spaced.
