Pressure Drop

• FRICTION FACTOR
• NEW
• AIR-PRO C 150
• IRON C 100 TO 110
• AGED
• AIR-PRO C 150
• IRON C Decreased
• Decrease is due to Internal Corrosion, Pitting
  and scaling

Stress Curve

• The calculated service life of pipe is based on
  the results of the creep rupture tests under
  internal compression carried out by the material
  manufacturers as per DIN 8075, and on long-term
  tests of the ageing stability in temperature
  controlled oxygen fresh water.
• MRS 10 minimum required strength for an
  operating time of 50 years and a temperature of
  20C 10 N/mm2
• Design life of 50 years

Socket Fusion

• cleaning of the pipe and the fitting. Bevel or
  Peel dependent upon size
• pressing the pipe and the fitting on the heating
  element for preheating
• remove and join the pipe and fitting together
• Leaving the joint without load during the cooling
  time
• visual control of the joint
• recommended procedure
• by hand up to OD 40 mm (1¼)
• use welding equipment for dimensions gt OD 40
  mm (1¼)
