GFR FABRICATED FITTINGS ARE MANUFACTURED FROM PIPE OF THE PRESSURE DIMENSIONSHOWN IN THE CATALOGUE

These products should be pressure re-rated according to the following formulae.

BUTT WELDING1 All equal tees, junctions and mitre bends are to be fabricated by full face butt welding only.2 Fittings are to be hydrostatic pressure re-rated from the nominal pipe class. This re-rating takes

into account a butt weld strength of 90% of pipe strength, and stress increase due to fittingshape.

The re-rating factors to be applied are:-Rating = Pipe Class x 0.9

1.53 Wye (Y) junctions are for drainage applications only.4 All requirements for butt welding must be observed.

EXTRUSION WELDING1 Tees, junctions, and mitre bends may be extrusion welded where full face butt welding is not

available.2 Fittings made by extrusion welding are to be pressure re-rated from the nominal pipe class.

This re-rating takes into account an extrusion weld strength of 60% of pipe strength, and stressincrease due to fitting shape.

The re-rating factors to be applied are:-Rating = Pipe Class x 0.6

1.53 Wye (Y) junctions are for drainage applications only4 The maximum ratio of branch/main pipe diameters is 45%5 All requirements for extrusion welding must be observed.

OPERATING TEMPERATURE

The compression saddles, fittings and valves are not for use with hot water although they withstand the sametemperature as most polyethylene pipes. The fittings and valves will withstand sub-zero temperatures.

FLANGES

Flange dimensions in accoredance with AS/NZS 4331-1995.Metal backing rings to be used with all flanges.

THREADS

Internal parallel thread up to 2 1/2”; internal taper thread 3” and up.External taper thread all sizes. All threads conform to ISO7; BS21-1973; DIN2999; NEN3258; AS1722 Part1-1975.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

Plasson polypropylene fittings are supplied, as standard, with Nitrile (NBR) rings and acetal split rings which aresuitable for water supply and many chemical handling applications.For many chemicals however, NBR and acetal are unsuitable and Plasson spare rings of either EPDM or VITON(FPM) should be used to replace the nitrile rings. CPVC split rings are also available to replace acetal. Generallynitrile is good in oily applications whilst EPDM or VITON are more suitable in acidic applications.A brief indicationof chemical resistance at 20°C follows.

FPM although the most resistant is expensive - EPDM is usually the economical solution. Generally, if EPDM orFPM O Rings are required, then CPVC split rings should be used in place of standard acetal split rings. This isintended as a guide only. Tapping Saddles used in chemical applications or permanently buried situations mayrequire stainless steel bolts and nuts. In many sizes the NBR ring can be replaced with EPDM OR FPM.

The coupling ‘A’ which consists of twohalves, incorporates a broad rubber gasketfor sealing and a row of serrated teeth, ateither end of the coupling, which gripssecurely on the outside of the pipe whenthe two halves are bolted together.

The Supra clamp ‘D’ adapter is used whereplain ended pipe is required to adapt tosteel shouldered pipe or fittings. Theadaptor incorporates half a coupling andgasket with the other half containing theserrated grip rings.

The Supraclamp flange adaptor consists oftwo parts:1) The actual flange adaptor ‘E’ which

contains the rubber sealing ring AND2) The Gripping clamp ‘C’ incorporating

machined teeth which grip the flangeto the outside of the pipe.

Makes joining polyethylene pipelines simple

Supraclamp Jointing Systems


5-10

The Supraclamp Jointing System is the fastest and most effective way of joining polyethylene pipingsystems without the need of welding or costly flanges. The Supraclamp system allows you to join plainended pipe up to 315mm dia. In underground or open cut mining application. The simple use of a sawenables the fitting of valves, bends etc., or the shortening of a pipe without the use of glue, welding ormake up pieces.

uPVC Pressure Pipe and Fittings Technical Information

Temperature Considerations

For uPVC pipes and fittings under pressure and in continuous service at any temperature in the range 20-60°C,the maximum allowable static pressure shall be reduced in accordance with the values in Table 3. For any pipematerial temperature or any pressure outside this range, the maximum allowable static pressure should beestablished by reference to our office.

Table 5. Rating for pressure pipes for temperature.

Note: Pipes of higher rating than Class 18 should be rated in the same proportions as for Class 18.

Table 6. Recommended spacing of supports in metres.

uPVC pipe should be supported at intervals depending on the density of the fluid being conveyed and themaximum temperature likely to be reached by the pipe material. Table 6 shows recommended maximum spacingof support for all classes of pipe where water is the fluid being conveyed.

Where ambient temperatures or the temperatureof piped fluids are such that the temperature ofthe material is likely to be greater than 20°C, thesupport distances should be reduced accordingly.

Where material temperatures are likely toapproach 60°C and the pipe is horizontal,continuous support of the pipe is recommended;for vertical installations the values at Table 6 forhorizontal support should be used.

Heavy fittings such as valves should be supportedindependently, and large plastic fittings (e.g.flanges, particularly those with metal backingrings) should be supported on each side. Wherepipes are continuously supported, flangedconnections and other protrusions should beallowed room for movement.

Table 5

Table 6

uPVC Pressure Pipe and Fittings Technical InformationThermal Linear Expansion of uPVC Pipe

The co-efficient of thermal expansion of uPVC is much greater than other materials and must be considered wheninstalling above or below ground. The co-efficient may be taken for reference as 7 x 10-5/°C and representsapproximately 1 mm/m/15°C.

Earthing

uPVC is a non-conductor of electricity and must not be used for earthing purposes.

Storage and Handling

Because of its light weight uPVC is more liable to be thrown about, so reasonable care should be taken duringstorage and handling.

Each pipe should have continuous or evenly spaced supports. Pipes should not be stacked in large piles,particularly in warm conditions. Store away from direct sunlight whenever possible.

uPVC Pressure Fittings

The uPVC system is a comprehensive range of pressure pipes and fittings - well suited to domestic, commercialand industrial applications.

All basic components are manufactured in PVC, and subject to the most rigorous quality controls. The result is alight, robust system of a consistently high standard.

Injection moulded fittings suitable for solvent weld jointing are available in 15 mm - 150 mm and long radiuspost formed bends to 195 mm.

GFR can custom manufacture PVC fittings to your requirements.

C.I./D.I. Pressure Fittings

A comprehensive range of Cast Iron and Ductile Iron fittings are available for use with Hardiseal R.

R.J. pressure pipes.

Socketed all around fittings manufactured to suit AS1477 pressure pipe dimensions are recommended.

Hydraulic Testing

Pipe line should be cool and, if buried, all joints left exposed. All air should be eliminated before applying full testpressure. Test pressure is normally 1.2 to 1.5 times working pressure and should be no greater than twicemaximum working pressure. Test ends and any changes in direction must be properly retrained during testing toavoid movement of the pipe and fittings.

Solvent weld systems must not be subjected to any hydraulic pressure for at least 24 hours when using high bondor 48 hours when using slow setting cement.

Rubber ring joint systems must not be subjected to any hydraulic pressure until concrete thrust blocks have set.

Jointing Methods - Solvent Weld Joint

Solvent weld joints are a simple trouble free method of jointing uPVC pressure pipe and fittings, provided onlyhigh bond or slow setting solvent cement is used and these jointing instructions are carefully followed. Beforeapplying the solvent cement, it is essential to use priming fluid for successful jointing, as the fluid not only cleansand degreases, but removes the glazed surface from uPVC which allows the solvent cement to permeate into thepipe or fitting.

Solvent cement is a solution of resin in a mixture of solvents which soften the surfaces when applied to uPVCpipe and fittings. It is NOT a glue.

A thin uniform coat is applied to both spigot and socket and the joint assembled while the surfaces are still andfluid. The cement layers intermingle and become one. The strength of the joint develops as the solvent permeatesthe PVC and the volatile constituents evaporate.


6-5

uPVC Pressure Pipe and Fittings:Jointing Instructions

1. Cut the spigot as square as possible using a mitre box and handsaw orpower saw. Remove all swarf and burrs from both inside and outsideedges with a knife, file,reamer or sandpaper. Swarf and burrs if left, willwipe off the solvent cement and prevent proper joining.Also swarf insidepipes can become dislodged and jam taps and valves.

2. Check the pipe and spigot or fittings for proper alignment. The time forany adjustments is NOW, not later.

3. Mark the spigot with a pencil or marker at a distance equal to theinternal depth of the socket. Do NOT score or damage the surface of thepipe or fitting.

4. Dry fit the joint. An interference fit must be reached before the spigot isinserted fully to the pencil mark.

5. Thoroughly clean the inside of the socket and the area between thepencil mark and the spigot end with a clean cotton, lint free cloth (doNOT use synthetic material), dipping in priming fluid. This removes dirtand grease and softens the PVC surface. Do NOT brush or pour thepriming fluid on.

6. Apply a THIN, uniform coat of solvent cement to the socket. Note that apool of cement at the foot of the socket will severely weaken the pipe orfitting. Apply a uniform coat of solvent cement to the external surface ofthe spigot up to the pencil mark.

7. Assemble the joint quickly before the cement dries by pushing the spigotfirmly into the socket as far as the pencil mark, ending with a quarterturn in this position for at least thirty seconds without movement.

8. Wipe off the excess solvent cement from the outside of the joint andwhere possible from the inside of the joint. Do NOT disturb for at least afurther five minutes.

Cure time is the time taken for the solvent weld joint to reach the pressure rating of the pipe.

For pressure pipes do NOT pressure test the joint for at least 24 hours when using high bond or 48 hours whenusing slow setting.

By following these steps EXACTLY you should be able to make strong, leak-free joints with solvent cements. Butremember, correct pipe and fitting selection is also important. Consult the GFR catalogue for correct selection.

uPVC Pressure Pipe and Fittings:Jointing Methods

Jointing Methods - Rubber Ring Joint

Rubber ring joint pipe is supplied with a sealing ring which fits easily into the integral socket of each 6 metrelength, and is available in sizes 50 mm to 300 mm.

Pressure pipe rings are embossed with the letter ‘PR’ and the nominal diameter of pipe, e.g. ’PR100’ for jointing100 mm diameter pipe.

Unless otherwise requested Natural Rubber (NR) rings are supplied. However, rings are available in otherpolymers and colour identified on the rear outer circumference as follows:

Polymer Colour CodeNatural Rubber (NR) WhitePolychloroprene (CR) RedButyl (AIR) YellowStyrene Butadience (SBR) Blue

Caution: Rings with two colour flashes contain root inhibitor and are for sewer use only.

If it is necessary to cut pipes on site use a fine toothed handsaw. The cut position should be measured to allowthe penetration depth of the spigot into the socket shown in Table 7. A mitre box is recommended to ensure thecut is square to the pipe axis and all burrs removed with a file.

A chamfer similar to the factory produced chamfer on the pipes supplied is essential before attempting to jointthe pipes. Maximum length of chamfer is also shown in Table 7. The witness mark should then be made, using asoft pencil, at the required penetration depth.

SECTION 7

Australian Design Mark

Made from engineering plastics, stainless steel and rubber, the FloatMaster is a servo assisted valve which is operated by its 25mm pilot valve.The pilot valve is designed to ignore turbulence in the tank / vessel andshuts off positively which in turn prompts a modulated close off in themain valve. The valve simply bolts onto a flange in the tank and is readyfor use.Float Master is a valve designed to fit into a tank or vessel and to regulatethe flow of liquid being pumped into the vessel based on depth.The Float Master is designed to shut off with no “chatter” which is anindustry-recognized problem. “Chatter “ is when the waves, made by thevalve emptying into the tank, cause the ball float on the valve to bounceup and down and shut-off / open again in rapid succession. The resultingwater hammer shocks can cause damage and confuse pressure sensitiveshut-off switches etc.Float Master was designed to be easy to fit, simple to operate, and to notrequire any electrical support such as telemetry or pressure switchoperations. Another important part of the design is to ensure that the FloatMaster can be easily retrofitted into any application. This has significantimplications in the airconditioning, mining and utilities markets whereboth strategic and tactical maintenance is carried out due to corrosion andwear of valves.The extremely simple nature of installation allows for minimal downtimewhilst the light weight of the valve offers a much lower chance of strainor injury from an OH&S perspective.

Master Valves

The Story behind the Master Valve DevelopmentSince GFR's inception in 1986 we have seen more and more creative applicationsand innovations in the PE pipeline business. Engineers and end-users haveembraced PE as a worthy replacement for stainless steel, carbon steel, rubberlined pipe, PVC pipe and others.

The ChallengeValves are an area where we as an industry have seen virtually no changes occur.This problem has really been highlighted in applications where PE has beenspecified for its abrasion/corrosion resistance and no valving has been availableto complement the PE. The unfortunate result is that it is usual to see a PEpipeline performing to design for, say, a highly saline process water supply whileall around it there is either a tactical or strategic maintenance programme thatdeals with corroding and failing components such as valves. Problems in suchcircumstances include:• Corroding valves• Blocked valves• Pipeline collapsing under vacuum• Increased energy consumption caused by trapped air• Pipelines failing due to trapped air

The SolutionGFR has spent years supplying spare parts, new valves and other components,performing in field repairs and making customised fittings for frustrated end-users who have an otherwise functional pipeline.We have viewed this as an opportunity to develop a better range of valves thatwill complement your pipeline through effective and economic service.What materials would you prefer your valves to be made of? - Our experiencetells us that corrosion proof materials that have good wear resistance arepreferred.

Raw MaterialsGFR's "Master" range is based on three component materials that arecomplemented by other materials depending on model. These materials are:• Stainless Steel (316 and SAF)• Natural Rubber• Polyethylene/Ertacetal

Why do I need anair release/

vacuum break valve?

Installation notations:

Some terms andrecommendations:

Australia’s own high rate air release/vacuum break valveAustralia and the World’s new solution for arvb.

ARVB: air-release/vacuum break.

CPR: critical pressure ratio. Maximum differential pressure across an orifice whereincreased pressure in line will not increase airflow.

Dynamic closure is when: the large orifice of the valve is closed-off when theinternal float is uplifted by out-rushing air.

Kinetic closure is when: the large orifice and the auto orifice are closed when the float is buoyed by the entry of water into the valve.

Automatic venting is when: air is vented via the automatic orifice under pressurisedconditions.

Vacuum breaking is when: air is inhaled through the valve and into the pipelineduring pipeline draining.

Non slam is recommended: 1. where an arvb is positioned at the end of a pipeline. 2. where column separation may occur.3. on bore-heads and pumps.

Machine GuardsMachine guards in HDPE : Safer, lighter, longer lasting, morecost effective.Machine and belt guards made from engineering plastics offermany benefits over their steel predecessors:• Low friction resistance allows for simpler and easier

cleaning. This is especially important in dusty conditions.• Yellow coloured, UV stabilised hdpe means that the guard

never needs to be painted.• HDPE does not corrode hence service life is increased over

steel units. Also, there are no unsafe jagged edges causedby corrosion

• Servicing of machinery is simplified with the use of themuch lighter plastic guards. In many cases the need forcranage is negated due to the lightness of the guards withsimpler JSA’s appreciated by many site personnel.

• Retrofitting in plastic means that modifications can beeasily carried out in manufacture. This could include clearpolycarbonate viewing windows etc.

GFR machine guards are unique. Your guards are full –penetration extrusion welded to the exacting DVS standards.Protect your people and your machinery with GFR belt guards.Call for details.

Pressure Capacity Above Ground Standard Black PE PipeMaximum mean wall temperature = 65C


10-5

This is from actual measured mean wall temperatures at the top of the pipe on Australiansites when the water is not flowing through a pipeline. The Australian Standardsrecommends that the highest operating temperature shall be used as the designtemperature. When the pumps are started the pipeline will be operating at thistemperature until the cooler water has been able to reduce the pipe wall temperatures.This is the actual measured midwall temperature when the pumps are started until theflowing water has cooled the pipe wall.

Note:Polyethylene pipe over PN6.3 can cope with full vacuum. Vacuum is described as zeropressure (minus one atmosphere). The actual vacuum on site varies with barometricpressure for the day.

The negative pressure has been calculated based upon immersion in water at 30C walltemperature. The pipe is assumed to have a 3% ovality.

As polyethylene is less dense than water, the pipe will float on the water surface. The endof the pipe should therefore be inverted to ensure the suction pipe is continuously full ofwater.


Polyethylene Flange Connections


10-10

Flanges must be installed correctly to ensure damage does not occur during operation.Incorrect installation is the most common cause of flange joint failure. To avoid this, thefollowing procedure should be used:

1. The flange should be assembled to the mating flange prior to welding the stub flangeto the pipeline. If this is not practical the pipeline should be snaked a sufficient distancefrom the joint to ensure the stub can be brought squarely up to the mating flange.

2. The flange assembly must be lifted AT THE PIPE and BROUGHT SQUARELY UP TO TOUCHthe mating flange PRIOR to bolting. Bringing the flanges into contact with the matingflange using the bolts can result in breakage of stub during operation.

3. With the seal lined up, insert all bolts and tighten them until firm taking care not todamage the seal. Washers should be used under all bolts heads and nuts.

4. Tighten the bolts in the following sequence to the following torques. These torquesapply for pressures up to 1000kPa.
