Thermo® pipes
In civil and industrial
installations, it is necessary for
the color of the pipe to identify
the fluid carried. Dalmine has
created Thermo®: steel pipe,
coated with epoxy powder,
which means no painting on
site by the installer and even
easier and safer identification
of usage.
The coating is applied by
fusing epoxy powder onto the
surface of the grit-blasted pipe,
preheated to about 200°C.
Examples of marking and colour identification
Dalmine Thermo®
red (RAL 3000)
Seamless pipe
O.D. 1/2 ÷ 10”
The coating, with a minimum
thickness of 50 microns, gives a
working temperature of
between -10 to +110°C, and
has excellent adhesive
properties and resistance to
abrasion; allowing bending
with a standard portable
tool, with a mandrel having
a minimum bending radius
of 6 times the external
diameter of the pipe.

Dalmine Polycoat
External coating in extruded polyethylene layers

according to the UNI 9099 standard

This particular type of
coating is produced on a
sheath extrusion line
producing a coating with
outstanding adherence and a
perfectly uniform thickness.
The product is able to satisfy
the demands of the most
particular users.
The coating offers a maximum
guarantee in terms of:
- high resistance to corrosion
- longer service life
- long life insulation (the
dielectric continuity test is
conducted in the factory at
25.000Volts - for bitumen
coated pipes the
corresponding test is at
10.000Volts).
- very high resistance
to nearby metal structures
- able to work in highly
corrosive environments
- easy cold bending at
the construction site
- easy to restore the coating
at joints.
The coating is applied on the
hot finished surface, after
blasting, when the pipes are
used for carrying gas, or for
water pipes on the galvani-
zed surface, according to the
EN 10240 A.1 standard, and
if requested with certificates.

Temperature
The working temperature
generally permitted runs from
-10 to + 110ºC.

Final inspection
Before putting the pipes into
use it is normal practise to
carry out a hydraulic test at
1.5 times the nominally
allowed pressure for the type
of pipe chosen. Whenever
this test proves negative, in the
case of a leak which would
indicate some defect in the
pipe and not at the joint,
contact the Sales Department.
If there is any danger of
freezing, empty the plant.
Pressure
The allowable pressures are
determined by the constructor
or end user, depending on the
kind of fluid, on the safety
coefficients, regulations,
norms or calculation codes,
which the installer must
satisfy.
R
bending radius at least 6 times
the pipe O.D..
Threading
Manual screw-dies or
threading machines can be
used with equally good
results.
Machining requires the use of
dies with sharp
chasers, a good flow of
cutting oil and very good
alignment between the axis of
the die and the pipe.
Care should be taken in
choosing the cutting depth per
pass.
D
lint, and by using the
correct amount of sealing
product.
Alternatively, by carefully
wrapping a teflon band in the
direction of the screw thread,
taking care to maintain the
tension.
The steel couplings, or the
cast iron fittings, should be
reasonably tight when
screwing.

Welding
An oxy-acetylene torch is
recommended with the
following settings.
Torch:
gas flow in l/hr between
65 and 80 times the wall
thickness of the pipe in mm,
welding speed of 3.5 m/h on
average.
Welding wire:

Istallation procedure

Before welding slide the sleeve

over the pipe end and position
it about 30 cm from the weld
area.
After welding clean the surface
well by sandblasting or
brushing.

Preheat the metal surface to

about 60º C and the place
where the sleeve will go to
about 40º C. Adjust the torch
to produce a soft, steady,
yellow flame.

Remove the sleeve's inner

protective release paper and
centre the sleeve over the joint,
allowing at least an 80 cm
overlap.

22
Beginning in the centre, heat
the sleeve, working out
towards the ends. Continue
until you see the mastic
beginning to come out of the
sleeve ends.

The coating may also be

restored using tape. There are
both single and double types
of tape available on the
market. The double tape
consists of tape for insulation
and for physical protection.
Other systems include using
primer.
