5. PP-R Pipes

The System

PP-R is a safe , long lasting, reliable and cost effective solution for
hot & cold water. The system is suitable for all plumbing and
potable water applications the pipes & fittings are made of
Polypropylene Random Co polymer (PP-R) Type 3. Indigenously
manufactured complete range is available in 16mm to 160mm with
necessary heating tools & accessories. Threaded insert in the
transition fittings are made from brass & duly nickel plated to
withstand chemical corrosion at elevated temperatures. The
specific chemical structure of indigo green PP-R provides the well
balanced mechanical properties and superior long term heat
resistance.

The PP-R type 3 used in the production of indo green system offers
number of advantages . It has high molecular weight and excellent
creep resistance, which are fundamental characteristics for the
transportation of hot fluids under pressure. Moreover , it possesses
a high resistance to slow crack growth , an important
characteristics for the long term performance under mechanical
stress. Both pipes and fittings are manufactured according to ISO

Signature of Contractor NBCC Ltd. TS Pl. -17


NBCC (India) Ltd. South Zone Construction of Nia, Branch Office and Residential buildings &
Allied works at Hitech City Hyderabad
EN 15874 standards . Pipes are available in PN 10, PN 16 & PN 20
, where as the fittings are available in highest PN 25 or PN 20
pressure class . The choice of the raw material , the structural
accuracy and the strict quality control gives the system high degree
of reliability .

Polyfusion Welding

Joints of the indo green pipes and fitting are usually jointed to get
by poly fusion welding ,which is a fundamental property of this
system . this process consists of mixing of melted material of
external surface of the pipe and internal surface of fitting , after
heating them up 260C to 280C on the small welding machine
called poly-fusion device. Property made welded joint, when cut
through , shows no traces of contacts surface between two
element ie . pipe and fitting in the entire volume of joints . thus
fusion process gives homogeneous , long lasting , leak proof joints
.

Jointing Procedure

Cutting – cut the pipes square to required length by cutter. Deburr


the cut end if necessary . pipes end must be clean cut at right
angles .
Cleaning ; prior to welding , the pipe and fitting should be dried
and property cleaned .
Marking- mark the required insertion depth (welding depth ) on the
pipe with the helps of the suitable marker .
Heating: ensure that the indicator light of the welding device signal
that the device is hot enough (260C to 270C) for welding .first
weld can be made after 5 minutes when heating light get off. Heat
the pipe & fitting on the polyfusion device as per the recommended
heating times. ( The heating time starts when pipe & fitting has
been pushed to the correct welding depth on the matrices ). While
heating the pipe & fitting in the matrices, apply slight pressure
from both sides.
Welding- After specified heating time remove the pipe & fitting
out of the matrices. Heated end of pipe should be pushed into the
flared end of the hot fitting down to the previously marked depth .
Do not turn or twist the pipe or fitting while pushing into the
matrices and pulling out the matrices.
Cooling – After the specified cooling time , the joint gets a first
stiffness, after this phase next joint can be made.
