the suitability of a plastics material for a pressure pipe is determined by its long-term performance

under hydrostatic stress when tested in pipe form, taking into account the envisaged service conditions
(e.g. temperature). For design purposes, it is conventional to express this by means of the hydrostatic
(hoop) stress which a plastics pipe made of the material under consideration is expected to be able to
withstand for 50 years at an ambient temperatute of 20 C using water as the internal test medium. the
outside test enviroment can be water or air. this method is not intended to imply service life. in certain
cases, it is necessary to determine the value of the hydrostatic strength at either shorter design times or
higher temperatures, or on occasion boht. the method given in this international standard is designed to
meet the need for both types of estimate. the result obtained will indicate the lower prediction limit,
which is the lower confidence limit of the prediction of the value of the stress that can cause failure in
the started time at a stated temperature

The Environmentally friendly material, Vectus PPR-C piping system is recyclable and can be ground
melted and reutilised for various applications e.g. motor-protections, wheel linings, laundry baskets and
other kinds of plastic materials. There are no polluting substances either in its processing or in its
disposal. Advantages Resistance Against Chemicals Smell and Taste Neutrality Physiological Immunity

Polypropylene is rugged, often somewhat stiffer than some other plastics, reasonably economical, and
can be made translucent when uncolored but not completely transparent as polystyrene, acrylic or
certain other plastics can be made. It can also be made opaque and/or have many kinds of colors.

Thermopipe : Polypropylene Random Copolymer. (PPRC) piping has been approved to be ideal for
plumbing, heating, air conditioning systems and for a wide range of industrial and medical uses.

Polypropylene or polypropene (PP) is a thermoplastic polymer, used in a wide variety of applications,

including food packaging, textiles, plastic parts and reusable containers of various types, laboratory
equipment, loudspeakers, automotive components, and polymer banknotes. An addition polymer made
from the monomer propylene, it is rugged and unusually resistant to many chemical solvents, bases and
acids.

Thermopipe has earned a good reputation throughout the Middle East as a more flexible and efficient
alternative to traditional materials such as copper and steel.
