PPR polymer piping systems for hot and cold water supply

19

PPR polymer piping systems have recommended themselves as a very reliable and easy to install replacement for old metal pipes. Providing years of service and quick and easy installation by means of fusion welding, PPR is one of the best solutions so far for indoor hot, cold and drinking water transportation, heating and “under-floor” heating systems, air conditioning systems in civil and industrial constructions, public and sport facilities.

Blue Ocean PPR piping systems can also be used for transportation of aggressive fluids (acids, alkalies and etc.). Please refer to our technical catalogue for Chemical Resistance of Polypropylene table.

Blue Ocean produces a wide range of PPR pipes, fittings and accessories. Polypropylene Random Copolymer type 3 is a reliable and environmentally friendly material with high-performance characteristics.

Main Characteristics• High temperature stability• Hygienic and environmentally friendly• No siltation • Easy and clean installation, easy welding• High sound insulation• Chemical resistances• Fully recyclable material• Resistance to electrochemical corrosion• Low thermal conductivity: λ=0,23W/mK• Resistance to stray electric currents• High heat insulation• High impact rate• Low pressure loss• Light weight

Our PPR range has 4 colors – Blue, Green, White and Grey. These 4 colors are only market-specific (as we provide our system to more than 40 countries) and have no technical difference.


21

Blue Ocean singe-layer PPR pipes Blue Ocean single layer PPR pipes are produced by extrusion method. Being the most popular among plumber and cost-effective, they have been our best-seller for many years until we developed more advanced multilayer pipes (with aluminium or glass fiber).

Main advantages:• Simple installation• Cost-effective• High stability• Fully recyclable and green product

Application:• Cold, hot and drinking water supply systems• Heating systems


PPR FIBERGLASS

23

Blue Ocean Fiber-G (PPR/Fiberglass/PPR) composite pipes Blue Ocean Fiber-G polymer composite pipes produced by multi-extrusion method with middle layer made of special polymer-fiberglass composition, which was spe-cially designed in the laboratory of Blue Ocean plant.

Main advantages in comparison with usual PPR pipes:• Low thermal expansion α=0.05mm/mK• High stability• Simple installation (similar to usual PPR pipes)• Less weight per running water• The finer thickness of the pipe enables a 20% increase of fluid capacity

Application:• Cold and hot water supply systems• Heating systems• Central air conditioning systems• Water circulating and water supply systems in swimming pools


PPR High-molecularadhesive layers

Aluminium

25

Blue Ocean PPR/AL/PPR (PE-RT) outer layer thermo-fusion multilayer composite pipes Blue Ocean PPR/Al/PPR (PE-RT) pipe is made of 5 layers with outside layer produced of PPR and inside layer produced of either PPR or PE-RT. Middle layer is made of overlap or but-welded aluminium layer. We recom-mend using pipe with but-welded aluminium as it is more advanced technology than overlap-welded alumini-um, allowing use of thicker aluminium with seamless-welding connection, resulting in improved qualities like increased durability of pipe. Outside and inside polymer layers are connected to aluminium by high-molecular adhesive layers. Aluminium layer guarantees low thermal expansion and 100% oxygen barrier.

High-strength connection of polymer layers with aluminium defines value of expansion, which is similar to characteristics of solid-metal pipes. One of the main advantages of Blue Ocean PPR/Al/PPR (PE-RT) pipes is its simple and clean thermo-fusion connection with standard PPR fittings: no special treatment and prepara-tions needed, just cut and weld.

Main advantages in comparison with usual PPR pipes:• 100% oxygen barrier• Low thermal expansion α=0.03mm/mK• Excellent long-term durability• Simple installation (similar to usual PPR pipes)• High impact strength

Application:• Cold and hot water supply systems• Potable water supply systems• Heating systems• Central air-conditioning systems• Water circulating and water supply

systems in swimming pools


PPR Aluminium

27

Blue Ocean STABI PPR/AL/PPR composite pipesBlue Ocean Stabi (PPR/Al/PPR) pipe is mechanically stabilized through integrated aluminum layer. It is and extension range of Blue Ocean PPR piping systems with better workability and lower thermal expansion. Pipe construction: homogenous PPR inner pipe (according to EN ISO 15874 (2004) and DIN 8077/8078) with sealed aluminum layer and outer PPR cover layer. The aluminum layer reduces the linear expansion coefficient to <0.035 mm/mK and protects inside PPR pipe preserving its properties and acting as an oxygen barrier: Blue Ocean Stabi pipes can be welded with Blue Ocean PPR fittings.

Main advantages in comparison with usual PPR pipes:• Low thermal expansion α=0.03 mm/mK• 100% oxygen barrier• Increased supporting distance• Better resistance to knocks• High stability towards temperature and pressure

Application:• Cold and hot water supply systems• Potable water supply systems• Heating systems• Central air conditioning systems• Water circulating and water supply

systems in swimming pools


PPR But-weldedcooper foil

High-molecularpolymer adhesive

29

Blue Ocean CU Copper anti-bacterial pipesBlue Ocean CU copper pipes are made of 3 layers with outside layer produced of PPR and inside layer produced of but-welded copper foil. Outside layer is connected to copper layer by high-molecular polymer adhesive. Copper layer guarantees anti-bacterial qualities of the pipe, making it perfect for drinking water and air-conditioning. One of main advantages over usual copper pipes is its simple and clean thermo-fusion connection with standard PPR fittings: no special treatment and preparations needed, just cut and weld.

Main advantages:• Anti-bacterial qualities of copper• Low thermal expansion• Excellent long-term durability• Ability to withstand very high pressure• High impact strength• Competitive cost in comparison with usual copper

pipes and fittings• Simple installation (similar to usual PPR pipes)

Application:• Drinking water supply systems• Cold and hot water supply systems• Central air-conditioning systems• Heating systems


31

PPR socket fusion fittings We are proud to say that at this moment, Blue Ocean has the biggest range of PPR fittings and PPR system products in the world. Our fittings range includes PPR fittings with sizes 16-160mm for normal PPR and 20-110 for PPR with brass alloy inserts of maximum size 4 inch. Our brass inserts are made of CW617 European standard brass, but we optionally provide CW614 and CW602N for specific market demands.


33

Valves Our selection of valves includes stop valves, gate valves and ball valves and we are the first company in the world to implement our patented PPSU material balls for ball valves as a replacement for brass, providing longer life time and more resistances to aggressive chemicals.

Valves are CE (Italy) certified.


Ocean-Fit PE-RT/PPSU polymer piping systems
