Demands on the heating pipe:

The most important component of a heating system is the heating pipe.

The PE-Xc 5-layer heating pipe provides the following benefits:

* very good long-term resistance during the internal pressure test

* good thermal ageing stability, thus no damages caused by thermal ageing when used in ccordance with the regulations

* stress cracking resistance

* good resistance to authorized chemical solvents, i.e. also resistant to heating water additives such as inhibitors

* oxygen tightness according to DIN 4726

* installation at low temperatures possible without heat treatment

* laying with narrow bending radii

* corrosion resistance

* smooth pipe walls, i.e. minimal pressure loss and no incrustations

* good rapid crack propagation resistance and abrasion resistance

* impact resistance at low temperatures

The ALMATHERM electron beam cross-linked PE-Xc heating pipe has all these properties. The requirements set forth in EN ISO 15875-1 for PE-Xc pipes and in DIN 4726 for heating pipes are met and even surpassed.

  

Classification of operating conditions according to EN ISO 15875-1:

 

Standard PE-Xc pipes:

 

Raw Material:

The basic material consists of high density polyethylene types of a high molecular weight supplied by renowned raw material producers. Special additives prevent thermal degradation and the influence of metal ions (e.g. of brass fittings).

 

Pipe Production:

The pipes are extruded in a pipe extrusion process on state-of-the-art manufacturing plants, which have been optimized for the processing of polyethylene of high molecular weight. The multilayer structure is produced in a specially devoloped co-extrusion process. The outer protective layer of this special 5-layer-pipe keeps the oxygen barrier safe from mechanical influences.

 

Corsslinking:

Crosslinking, i.e. the linking of the polyethylene molecules to a macromolecule with a spatial network is continuously done after extrusion by fast high-energy electrons on Europe's most modern and efficient electron accelerators.

Due to the crosslinking the known dropping of the internal pressure resistance - particularly when higher temperatures are concerned - is avoided. In addition, the pipe is insensitive to stress cracking and the influence of chemicals ensured by the crosslinking procedure.

 

Technical properties of the ALMATHERM PE-Xc pipes:

 

Quality assurance by internal control:

During production the PE-Xc pipe of ALMATHERM has to undergo strict controls according to the relevant product standards such as EN ISO 15875 and DIN 4726.

Among other investigations, the following tests are made:

* preprocessing control of the raw material charges

* dimensional continuity and accuracy of the pipes

* mechanical-technological tests according to standard, eg internal pressure test

 

Quality assurance by external control:

The most important characteristics are constantly tested within the scope of supervision contracts.
