Thermal Expansion in Open Installation


Since TECHNO GREEN & TECHNO UV pipes must have enough space to expand, an expansion control must is much needed for straight and long pipes. TECHNO GREEN & TECHNO UV- pipes for cold water and heating plants makes this possible.

Expansion Co-Efficient:

  • For Glass fiber Reinforced PP-R pipe:   α = 0,05 mm/mK
  • For Standard PP-R Pipe:   α = 0,15 mm/mK

 

Calculation of Change in Length:

∆L = α x L x ∆T

Where,

  • ∆L = Change in length in mm
  • L = Length of pipe
  • ∆T = The difference between installation & Working Temperature

 


COMPARISON PPR & PPR-GF (Thermal Expansion)

Description PPRPPR-GF
LPipe length in meter 1010
αLinear expansion coefficient 0.15 0.05
TiTemperature installation (°C) 3030
TwTemperature working (°C) 7070
∆T Ti – Tw 4040
∆L Change in length (α x L x ∆T) 6020

From the above comparison the value ∆L reduced 3 times comparing with the normal PPR Pipes  

The systems complying the standards DIN 8077/ DIN8078 and UNI EN ISO 15874. The Techno PPR pipes used for hot and cold-water supply system and potable water applications. The pipes are specially made for outdoor installation where the pipes are exposed to sunlight.

Technical Data Sheet 

MAIN ADVANTAGES

of The PP-R Glass Fiber Reinforced Pipe

01

Low thermal expansion (α= 0.05).

02

Higher stiffness than standard PP-R pipe.

03

Larger support distance comparing with Regular PPR

04

Similar like Regular PPR Pipes, it’s easier and faster installation, it does not require peeling before the welding operation.

05

Glass fiber PP-R pipes have thermal expansion co-efficient is almost equivalents to Aluminum stabi pipes, they can conveniently be used in the areas where aluminum pipes are used.
