Rovanco® Above Ground Piping System with Fusio-technik® PP-RCT125 WOR Carrier Pipe
Fusio-technik Carrier Pipe Benefits:
- Produced using WOR Technology (White Oxidation Resistance).
- Leader in high flow rate and low pressure drop.
- Increased resistance to oxidising substances.
- Resistant to lime, cement, plaster and electro-chemical reaction.
- Higher performances with reduced permeability to oxygen.
- Completely compatible with warm and cold fluids as well as drinking water.
In the North American market, water disinfection treatments are particularly aggressive. In order to increase the performance of PP-RCT pipes in resistance against the thermo- oxidative attack, WOR technology was developed.
In collaboration with world leaders in the production of additives for polymeric systems, Aquatechnik® Research Division, designed a particular package of additives and polymeric material to form the inner layer of the PP-RCT pipe. This increases the pipe’s resistance to oxidizing substances used in sanitation water such as free chlorine, chloramines, chlorine dioxide etc. Up to 40 times more when compared to a normal PP-R material. Aquatechnik® PP-RCT pipe is rated for service temperatures from 5°F to 203°F.
The Fusio-technik carrier pipe is insulated with polyurethane foam injected with one shot into the annular space between carrier pipe and jacket. Insulation is rigid, is a minimum 90% closed cell polyurethane with a minimum 2.0 lbs per foot3 density, compressive strength of 30 psi @ 75˚F and a thermal conductivity K factor not exceeding 0.180 @ 75˚F per ASTM C-518. Polyurethane foam's maximum temperature is higher than the 203˚F PP-RCT maximum temperature, so operating temperature of the system should not exceed the PP-RCT maximum temperature.
A variety of jacketing material is available depending on whether the installation will be above ground or below ground. For above installations a metal spiral lock seam jacket made of galvanized, aluminum or stainless steel is used. For below ground applications this system utilizes a HDPE jacket that is at least 175 mils thick. This makes it the thickest polyethylene jacket in the industry.
The Pre-Insulated Above & Below Ground Piping System with Fusio-technik carrier pipe is ideal for a wide array of applications, including, but not limited to:
- Heating Systems
- Chilled Water Systems
- Marine Applications
- Chemical Applications (Consult Factory)
- Portable Water
- Food Grade
