3. Durapipe UK has over
60 years experience
in plastic pipework
systems
Part of the
Aliaxis group
Over 15,000
employees
Operate in 85
different countries
Globally recognised
brands such as:

4. The first PVC pipes
introduced
Vulcathene chemical
drainage system
The first plastic valve was
produced in Europe by FIP
The first ABS pressurised
drinking water pipes
90% of new domestic properties use
plastic hot and cold plumbing systems
C-PVC hot and cold
plumbing system

5.  No limescale build-up
 No bore restriction,
flow rate maintained
 Pump energy efficiencies
 Reduced bacteria build-up

6. Plastics have a smoother surface than
traditional metals
 Plastics’ surface smoothness remains
constant; metals’ surface smoothness
deteriorates
 Surface smoothness can be expressed as
‘Friction Loss’ represented by K values
(Plastics = 0.01 & New Carbon steel = 0.1)
*source : Wilo Select Software
 Lower pump duty/energy savings

7.  Most plastic pipe systems
offer a 50-year design life
 Third party approvals
 Rigorous testing

8. Many plastics have high
impact resistance
 ABS, PE & PP are ductile
at low temperatures

9. Less than 1/6
weight of metal
Easier manual
handling
Simpler
installation
Reduced
transportation
carbon emissions
NO heavy
lifting
equipment
Improved
health & safety

10.  Metal prices fluctuate
 Most plastic prices are
more stable
 More accurate
cost projection

11. General Rule
ABS
PVC-U
C-PVC
Polypropylene
 Plastic pipework systems are suitable for
a variety of chemical applications
 Plastic systems have varied chemical
resistance properties
 It is important to select the correct
plastic for your application
 In general terms, Polypropylene is
more resistant than ABS
HIGHLOW
When selecting pipework,
it is important to consider:
Conveyed ChemicalsChemical Concentration TemperaturePressure
PVDF
General Rule of Chemical Resistance

12.  Independent bodies
 Universally recognised
 Rigorous and stringent testing
 Reliability and assurance
 Product confidence
Water Approvals
Manufacturing
Standards
Marine
Approvals
REG 31

13.  Technical support including product
training and installation demonstration
 Material estimate advice and
expansion guidance
 Chemical suitability
 CAD software and BIM packages
 Technical information from Luckins,
Hevacomp, AutoDesk Revitt etc.

15.  Thermal movement can be
easily calculated
 Expansion and contraction
can be accommodated
 Numerous methods of
compensating for thermal
movement
 All pipework systems expand
and contract

16. Dual contained pipework
systems are designed
to protect the environment
they operate within.
Driven by
specification
Offering visual
or electronic
leak detection
Ensuring
valuable fluid
recovery
Preventing
hazardous
leaks into the
environment
Protecting
workforce and
machinery

17.  Valves are integral to any industrial
pipework system
 Selecting the valve/pipework together:
– Guarantees a fully matched system
 Dependent on the requirements of the
application
IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER:
Temperature
Chemical Concentration
Pressure
System Control

19.  Allowing the user to operate a process or
series of actions remotely
 Removing the need for manual operation
 An effective solution for managing a network
of valves or complicated processes
Electric (100 – 240vAC) (24vAC/DC)
 On/Off
 Positioning
 Battery Back Up

Pneumatic (Compressed Air)
 Double Acting
 Fail Safe Closed
 Fail Safe Open

20.  The accuracy of flow control
and measurement is crucial
 It is important to consider the
type of flow control required
 Understanding application and
conveyed media is critical to
system selection
 Paddlewheel & electromagnetic
flow control options
Paddlewheel:
Clean Fluids
Magmeter:
abrasive fluids
(sediment)

21. Plastics are lighter
and easier to transport,
reducing fuel costs
and carbon emissions
Scrap during
manufacturing
can be recovered
Smooth bore pipes
means less friction
loss, lower pumping
energy required
Plastics use
less energy than
metals in
manufacture
Plastics can be
recycled
at end of life

22.  Conforms to highest
standards
 Smoother surface than
traditional metals
 50 Year design life
 Lifetime pump
efficiencies
 Reduced maintenance
& system repair costs
due to no limescale/
corrosion build-up
