Geberit HDPE jointing methods Overview The many Geberit jointing methods offer solutions for all situations.

Butt weld

Electroweld sleeve coupling

Flange joint

Linear expansion socket

Ring-seal socket

Contraction sleeve

Screw-threaded joint

Coupling for PE-Silent and adaptor only

These connections have different properties, and are therefore classified according to the way in which they are assembled as follows: a) To be opened Jointing methods which can be disconnected after assembly. b) Not to be opened Jointing methods which cannot be disconnected after assembly. c) Tension-resistant Connections which withstand tensional forces. d) Non-tension-resistant Connections which cannot withstand tensional forces.

Butt welding All diameters from ∅ 32 to 315 mm can be welded. Connection properties b) not to be opened c) tension-resistant Use Welding is the easiest jointing method, providing the many advantageous benefits of prefabrication; HDPE needs no other component in order to be welded. It can be used in all circumstances where prefabrication is used on site or in the workshop. The essential conditions for a perfect weld are:

A simple and reliable connection

• Cleanliness of the welding plate and the parts which are to be welded. • A correct welding plate temperature. • The correct pressure for jointing the parts. • The parts to be welded must be cut square <) 90°. Butt welding takes up little space. The edge of the weld does not obstruct the pipe, leaving its internal cross-section virtually unchanged. Even quite complicated distribution parts can be assembled in a small space, without wastage of material, because lengths of pipe or elbow sections can be easily reused through butt welding.

Allowance for butt welds

Indicative values of operating pressure

The allowance for butt welds is approx. as big as the wall thickness of the pipe. pipe diameter (mm) 32–75

Electroweld sleeve coupling

Available from ∅ 40 to 315 mm. Connection properties b) not to be opened c) tension-resistant

Use On-site welding, conversion, additional installations, repairs. The small outside diameter provides a great advantage. A short, simple and reliable connection

Conventional assembly, on the nesting principle, made for easy use. The joint obtained is simple, quick and reliable. The heating and melting zone is divided into two fields, as there are no electrical resistances in the centre of the sleeve. This provides a very satisfactory safety factor.

60

Ø 40 – 160

150

Also the ends of the pipes are not heated, the zones remain effectively cold, and provide further reinforcement, thus cancelling out shrinkage of the pipe. The pressure required for welding is obtained from the shrinking effect of the sleeve when it is heated, and is evenly distributed over the entire weld. This shrinkage has a compensating effect on pipe diameter measurement tolerances. The electrical resistance wires will not corrode. Once the weld has been made they are entirely covered by PE. The use of original Geberit equipement, especially tempered Geberit HDPE pipes, are recommended for correct welding.

Ø 200 – 315

Electrical sleeves can be made to slide by removing the central stop ring, thus making system conversion and repair work easier.

The stop ring can easily be removed with a screwdriver.

Ring-seal socket joint

Available from ∅ 32 to 160 mm. Connection properties a) to be opened d) non-tension-resistant

Use Ring-seal socket joints can be used to provide a connection between various prefabricated parts for simpler assembly.

Assembly May be used either vertically or horizontally. The small overall dimensions provide an advantage where space is limited. Can easily be assembled or released even where access is difficult. Protection cap

Ring-seal sockets are provided with a yellow protection cap to prevent the ingress of debris during installation.

Assembly instructions are the same for both ring-seal sockets and screw-threaded joints, the sleeve lengths are the same for corresponding diameters. The effective sleeve length, i. e. the measurement – X – from the O-ring to the base of the socket governs the maximum length of pipe which can be connected by individual joints. For HDPE approximately 15 mm of spigot should be allowed for every 1 m of pipe. The pipe must be fully inserted into the socket, because the socket does not act as an expander. Owing to the pipe thickness and the low thermal conductivity of HDPE, the socket seal has very satisfactory resistance to heat and no shrinkage of the O-ring occurs. The O-ring has a round seat regardless of pipe movements. The O-ring remains fixed in the seat and is always in contact with the pipe.

Length «X» varies with the diameter

Ideal fitting is obtained by chamfering the pipe end to approximately 15°, lubricating it with soft soap, Silicone or Vaseline. Do not use mineral oil or grease which can damage the rubber seal.

Screw-threaded joint with flange bushing

Connection properties a) to be opened c) tension-resistant Use Wherever there is the possibility that a pipe can be pulled out of a screw-threaded joint by axial tensile forces a flange bushing must be used to ensure that the connection will resist these forces. It is also recommended that a screwthreaded joint with flange bushing should be used when installing in floors or slabs, where the length of pipe between two connections (elbows, branches or sleeves) is longer than 2 metres.

Expansion socket Available from ∅ 32 to 315 mm. Connection properties b) not to be opened d) non-tension-resistant Use An expansion socket is recommended between anchor brackets, particularly on installations assembled with rigid joints and where excessive thermal movement is anticipated. At least one expansion joint must be provided on vertical stacks running from floor to floor, long collector pipelines and before connecting to the buried drain pipework. Different conditions apply for underground installations. For this application field see page 48. Installation Can be used either vertically or horizontally. One advantage is the depth of the sleeve which makes the assembly of downpipes and mains easier, allowing both vertical and horizontal corrections (e.g. in level, and in the precise positioning of the direction of branches and elbows). A firm anchor bracket must always be located behind the expansion socket to avoid any movement of the socket in the event of expansion or contraction. The special shape of the seal allows the pipe to slide within the socket during expansion and contraction, ensuring that the connection remains perfectly watertight even under heavy hydraulic load.

Horizontal assembly (e.g. at 20°C)

The following conditions are important to ensure perfect and easy assembly of the sleeve: 1. Chamfering the inserted pipe end to approximate <) 15°. Example: Insertion depth in an ambient temperature of 20°C (Vertical assembly).

2. Check the scale on the outer surface of the expansion socket for insertion depth. 3. Mark the correct insertion depth on the pipe. 4. Lubricate the pipe end well with soft soap, Silicone or Vaseline. N.B. Do not use oil or grease which can damage the rubber seal. For more information see pages 22, 28, 43. A special expansion socket with stainless steel protection for the rubber seal can be used for heavy duty industrial and laboratory applications.

13

Flanged joint Available from ∅ 50 to 315 mm. Connection properties a) to be opened c) tension-resistant Use Flanges are normally used as disconnectable joints for low pressure installations (industrial plant, pump connection, tanks and swimming pools). The flange connection system offers easy connection to existing iron and steel installations. As inspection access opening made by using a blind flange. Flanges are sintered, i.e. they are coated with polyethylene, and have standard dimensions (PN 3.2 – PN 10).

Geberit HDPE contraction sleeve Available from ∅ 50 to 160 mm Connection properties b) rigid, non-removable d) non-tension-resistant Use The Geberit HDPE contraction sleeve is a convenient connection possibility for most uneven, irregular or special materials. A common additional application method is also the connection from HDPE to different clay ware apparatus, e. g. for Laboratory sinks. Installation The enclosed rubber ring will be placed over the pipe end. Make sure that the rubber ring will be placed in the middle of the sleeve length (h2). Then push the contraction sleeve over the pipe end. Apply low heat (approx. 125°C) evenly around the socket, moving the blow lamp constantly. The sleeve will now shrink and give an absolute watertight and strong connection. Afterwards fix the contraction sleeve pipe with an anchor bracket. rubber ring approx. 125°C

Geberit HDPE adapter clamp Available from ∅ 48 to 326 mm. Connection properties a) to be opened d) non tension resistant

Use The adapter clamps have multiple functions and can consequently be used as adapters to thirdparty materials as well as any other types of connection.

Installation It is necessary to insert an appropriate reinforcement ring into the ends of the HDPE-pipe first when these clamps are used as adapters to HDPE-pipes or for HDPE-pipe connections.

Important: If the joint from HDPE to steel – cast iron or earthenware – is made with a coupling, it has to be secured by an anchor bracket.

32

Embedded fixed points

Principal: Any variation in length must be prevented by embedded fixed points in concrete (e. g. electroweld sleeve couplings, branches, bends or collar bushes) or by the provision of corresponding fixed point structures.

B

Embedding in concrete Basically Geberit HDPE material absorbs within itself thermal movement due to its high elasticity. However, in the case of large diameters (e.g. 315 mm) the forces «P» (resulting from expansion and contraction) are considerable. They must be absorbed by the embedded fixpoints alone, since cement/concrete will not adhere to HDPE pipework.

Since the fitting has to act as a fixpoint, do not insulate it.

Branch equal

Branch equal with reducer

Reduced small branches of large pipe diameters must be secured by an additional anchor point (electroweld sleeve couplings or collar bushes) to prevent shearing off of the branch.

Under no circumstances should a ring seal or expansion socket be embedded in concrete.

Speciall application fields Underground drainage pipes for housing

Underground drainage pipes of Geberit HDPE Not only has Geberit HDPE proven itself excellently for many years for drainage systems inside of buildings such as: – soil and waste stacks – vent pipes – connection and branch pipes – collector pipes but it is also suitable for underground applications as: – ground pipes – domestic drainage pipes

Criteria for underground drainage pipes 1. Tightness Environmental protection regulations do not permit leaking drainage pipes. Geberit HDPE is a reliable water drainage system which assures maximum dependability with regard to tightness.

2. Resistance to chemicals Geberit HDPE provides the assurance of universal resistance to the greatly diversified types of chemical attack by the disposal water, as well as by external factors (acidic soils).

applications. In addition to the attack from the inside, the pipes are also subjected to attacks from outside. Geberit HDPE excellently stands up to all these requirements.

3. Flexibility Geberit HDPE is a flexible, operationally reliable drainage system, even in soils in which a certain degree of settling of ground must be anticipated.

4

4. Resistance to frost Geberit HDPE has proven itself excellently for many years in frost endangered soils such as in Scandinavia. It can be used in temperatures ranging down to –40°. 5. Material As in domestic drainage systems, the quality of the material is the main criterion for underground

1

Trench The trench is to be dug as narrow as possible – but not narrower than the pipe diameter + 40 cm. The floor of the trench must be level and free from rocks and loose clumps. Correct elevation and slope are also important.

2

B = Bedding Under normal soil conditions the trench is provided with a bedding layer of round gravel (grading up to 30 mm) or of broken material (grading up to 10 mm) of a thickness of approx. 100 mm. The bedding layer must be compacted and tamped. In certain cases it will be neccessary to reinforce the ground.

3

U = Underpinning After the pipe has been laid, recesses are to be provided for sockets and flanges so that the pipe is supported along its entire length. The underpinning is to be done with a tamping post or the like. It must be done very carefully. If several pipes are laid, make sure that the lowest one is fully covered before the one above is placed. The pipe must lay flat, and it must be installed with the correct slope.

4

C = Consolidation layer The material is to be filled in layers of approx. 100 mm thickness. Tamping can be done by stamping with the feet, or with a special tool. The purpose of this material is to help prevent the pipe from deforming, so that it must be compacted well on both sides at the same time .

HS P 1 Ground load and possible traffic load 2 Shoring pressure

5

P = Protective layer Now fill in a layer of the same material (must not contain rocks which could cause point loading of the pipe) of at least 300 cm. Attention: To prevent the pipe from rising the trench is to be finish-filled on the same day up to and including the protection layer.

6

HS = Safety margin height For the further filling the available material is to be used. The trench must not contain rocks which cannot be lifted by hand. As soon as permitted by the safety margin height, this compacting can be done by machine. The regulations and byelaws on the refilling of trenches are to be observed.

2

Distribution of ground pressure The ground pressure and ground load distribution are governed essentially by the compaction. For calculation the appropriate standards and the local building and safety regulations are to be observed.

47

Rigid installation Rigid fixation

The rigid fixings must be stronger than the possible expansion or contraction forces of the HDPE pipe. Geberit pipes can be installed rigidly with relatively low effort, for which the following elements are required:

Underground installation of Geberit expansion sockets In addition to the butt-welded and electrically welded connection, the expansion socket is an ideal connection in underground drainage systems. Since in such systems lower temperature differences are usually encountered than in stacks and connector pipes, smaller length variations can be accounted for.

PL (pipe length) ID (insertion depth)

For this reason in underground installations the distance between expansion sockets can be longer.

Pipes penetrating through building walls With regard to the ground line between the building wall and the street sewer, where extreme settling can occur, an installation mat must be wrapped around the ground line to act as a deflection leg. In such cases Geberit HDPE is an ideal material, since it assures tightness and at the same time provides maximum flexibility. Deflection leg The length of the deflection leg is dependent upon the expected settling and on the pipe diameter.

Connection to manhole Plastic pipes should only be connected with manholes by means of a special manhole sleeve. Since settling of ground has to be expected such a sleeve must have the same ideal characteristics as Geberit HDPE: it must assure tightness and at the same time flexibility.

A rubber ring provides the flexible seal between sleeve and plastic pipe.

Drainage requirements for bridges Traffic safety/Maintenance Geberit HDPE also meets the special requirements for all types of bridges. The pipes and the wide range of fittings provide an easy design and execution at the construction site. The smooth walled pipes make a trouble-free maintenance and service possible, whereby all modern cleaning equipment can be used.

Frost protection Geberit HDPE can be installed in temperatures down to –40°C. However, to ensure water flow in the pipe an automatic-controlled heat trace can be fitted.

Heating tape

Ground water protection Where the bridge crosses a river, railway or another road, an absolutely watertight system is essential. In accordance with the anti-pollution laws, protection must be maintained in the event of an accident.

Piping Arrangement Collector pipe (The inlet into the collector pipe is made with 135° Y-branch fittings).

Drainage of bridges Installation indications Laid in concrete Piping embedded in the bridge structure can never be replaced. It is therefore essential that a drainage material which offers the greatest security is used. When choosing this material, the consolidation of the concrete, temperature variations, contraction and creep, as well as the prestressing of the bridge must be taken into consideration.

Thermal movement

Example 1

Example 2

The following points must be observed – Location of supports or piles – Horizontal movement of the bridge on the supports – Deflection of the bridge – Swaying of the bridge – The watertightness of the expansion socket (example 1) In the case of example 2 an expansion funnel is required to absorb the lateral movements.

Expansion socket

Fixing The spacing of the guide brackets for HDPE piping is 1,5 m and may not be exceeded. With all plastic piping, the pipe bracket should have a minimum width of 60 mm, in order that the stresses due to the weight of the filled pipe is well distributed.

Low pressure installation

Low pressure application

Generally the Geberit HDPE product range is designed for water drainage systems. For the low pressure range, e. g. swimming pool, pipework through circulation pumps, Geberit has established maximum admissible stressing values for an endurance life of 10 years.

Pressure

max. 1,5 bar

Temperature

max. 30°C

All connections must be butt weld joints, electroweld sleeve couplings or flange joints. Suitable fitting range for low pressure application see page 4.

Discharge pipeline of a pump set

The Geberit HDPE range of products can also be used for the discharge pipeline of a pump set, provided that the mechanical stress is low, only of short time and no thermal loaded medium (e.g. warm water) is pumped. When designing discharge pipelines for drainage pumps the following important points should be observed:

Vertical stack

1. The discharge pipeline has to be installed higher than the lowest installed appliance by means of a pipe loop.

2. If the flow rate is smaller than 5 l/s the vertical fall section of the pipe loop has to be increased.

3. If the flow rate is above 5 l/s the vertical stack has to be vented with a ventilation pipe of at least 50 mm inside diameter.

54

4. Long horizontal collector pipes have to be vented. The minimal inner diameter of the vent pipe must be 57 mm or 2 dimensions smaller than the discharge pipe. The ventilation pipe must be higher than the total delivery head of the pump and must go above the roof.

External pressures Internal negative pressures External pressures

Geberit HDPE pipes will withstand external pressures according to the table below depending on the pipe diameter.

The maximum level of the groundwater table has to be taken into account when designing Geberit HDPE pipelines in a groundwater area.

Internal negative pressures

Geberit HDPE pipes will withstand internal negative pressure according to the table above depending on the pipe diameter.

Geberit HDPE pipes are sometimes used as suction pipelines for pumpsets. The higher the suction lift is, the higher the negative pressure inside the pipeline. Important with such an installation is that the foot valve and strainer are not blocked. Foot valve and strainer of the suction pipeline should be kept free from debris, possible blockage could lead to additional pressure increase.

Ecological properties of Geberit HDPE Polyethylene (PE) is a simple compound of carbon and hydrogen atoms, harmless to man, animals and plants.

PE environmental loads relate to the fields of manufacture and disposal. In addition to the raw material crude oil, energy is used for the preparation of the plastic granulate and in the manufacture of the products.

PE is the perfect material for drainage systems from an ecological point of view. It has a long life span, no toxic gases rises from incineration (e. g. hydrochloric acid HCL from PVC) during disposal. It consumes much smaller quantities of energy during fabrication process and transport than steel, cast iron or copper pipes.

Comments on the individual properties Geberit High Density Polyethylene HDPE: Density 951 – 955 kg/m3 The density of various polyethylene types can be 910 – 960 kg/m3. The Geberit type at up to 955 kg/m3, is of the hard quality and has increased durability properties. HDPE is lighter than water, which is beneficial particularly with regard to transportation and installation.

Tempered 10 mm per meter (licence Geberit International AG) The safest way of avoiding the inevitable heat reserves (shortening of dimensions) after heat load in the plastic pipe, is to take preventative measures during manufacture. Geberit HDPE pipes are therefore stored in hot water baths after manufacture. This process increases the safety of the joints, as there is no chance of joints pulling apart later due to shortening of length.

Resistance to cold When Geberit HDPE parts are filled with water and then freeze, they stretch elastically as the ice expands. Once the ice melts, they resume their original shape, remaining completely intact and undamaged.

Flexibility The flexibility of the piping material can be the main criterion in certain buildings or on bridges, especially when pipes have to pass through expansion joints or are in buildings, which are subject to traffic vibration.

Melt-flow index 0,4 – 0,5 g/10 min. This describes the working properties of the pipe and at the same time gives information on the molecular weight, which is crucial for a number of raw material properties. The smaller the melt-flow index, the higher the molecular weight and thus the pipe’s resistance to stress corrosion.

Heat conductivity 0,43 W/m · K HDPE is a bad heat conductor; for this reason the pipe does not become completely warmed through when heat loaded for a short period. Heat loss is about 90% less, for instance, than a similar copper pipe.

62

Comments on the individual properties Resistance to radioactive effluents There is no risk of damage as a result of slightly radioactive water. However, please ask the manufacturer for more information relevant to the particular application.

Resistance to abrasion Drainage systems are increasingly becoming hidden refuse chutes. A pipe’s resistance to abrasion is a particularly important factor in branch pipes, soil stacks and ground pipes. HDPE is highly resistant to abrasion; its extra thick walls offer additional protection.

Heat expansion 0,17 mm/m · K Heat expansion of HDPE is relatively high. As a rule of thumb, for every 50°C increase in temperature, an expansion of 10 mm of linear meter of pipe can be anticipated.

Resistance to hot water Geberit HDPE can be safely used as waste pipe with no mechanical load, up to 80°C. Temperatures of up to 100°C for short periods (e.g. surges of steam) are permissible.

Resistance to impact Geberit HDPE is unbreakable at room temperature. Its resistance to impact is very high even at extremely low temperatures (down to approx. –40°C) and thus meets the requirements for outlet pipes.

Condensate Geberit HDPE is a poor conductor of heat. No condensate should form during short periods of undercooling.

63

Comments on the individual properties Behaviour in fire Plastics are inflammable. However, the classification of plastics according to the usual fire test for construction materials does not permit a valid statement on the behaviour of plastic construction parts in the event of a fire.

Non-conductive Plastics have an excellent reputation as insulators in the electronics industry. HDPE cable protection ducts, cast resins, insulating paint etc.

Sealing material Although the chemical resistance of the seal does not equal that of HDPE, there is no risk of the seal being destroyed, because the rubber ring is installed under compression on all sides and therefore cannot swell. In addition, the wetting factor of the rubber ring in the joint is very low. Many years of experience have shown that the sealing material can endure even the harshest conditions. NB: Such conditions do not occur in drainage pipes. Free halogens (chlorine, bromine etc.) cause halogenised polyethylene and hydrogen halide to form at room temperature. The halogenised polyethylene has different physical and chemical properties from the original hydrocarbon, but the polymer is not destroyed. Geberit HDPE should therefore not be used at all in areas where free halogens are produced or used. The only criteria to be observed here are the purpose for which the pipe is intended and the concentration of halogens. Solar radiation Geberit HDPE pipes are protected against ageing and embrittlement caused by UV rays by the addition of approximately 2% soot.

Noise HDPE is a soft material with a low E-modulus. HDPE limits solid-borne conduction, but airborne noise should be insulated. This can be done by means of the duct wall, HDPE Silent or Geberit Isol.

Chemical resistance Because of its paraffinic structure, Geberit HDPE is highly resistant to chemicals. Its resistance can be summarized briefly as follows: Geberit HDPE is insoluble in all inorganic and organic solutions at 20°C. Geberit HDPE is only soluble in aliphatic and aromatic carbons and their chlorinating products at over 90°C. The material will be attacked by heavily oxidized media (conc. HN03, conc. H2 S04) when exposed over long periods at room temperature.

64

Comments on the individual properties Tightness Many years of experience with welding HDPE-Pipes, have shown that the butt welds do not give any problems as the welding parts are circular on the inside and do not add to the normal risk of blocking.

Protection against blockages HDPE’s water-repelling properties are highly beneficial in this regard. – Rapid outflow of water – Prevention of deposits

Welding temperature Thermoplasts are processed with a high level of energy efficiency. The temperatures required are relatively low in comparison with metals. The welding temperature for HDPE is approximately 230°C. Simple tools allow for easy processing.

Non-toxic Plastics are well suited for use in the food industry as packaging material, containers, bottles etc. Geberit HDPE pipes are used for milk transportation lines in mountain areas and in the food canning and packing industry.

Scope of use Geberit HDPE pipes are designed for drainage systems. Their use in low-pressure areas (swimming pools, transportation lines etc.) is subject to a maximum pressure load of 15 m Water Column (1,5 bar) and a temperature of 30°C (10 years). There is also a certain range of moulded fittings.

Painting Geberit HDPE is not suitable for painting. Its water repellent properties and the flexibility of the material both have a negative impact on paint. If painting is unavoidable, the paint product to be used should be tested for compatibility with the HDPE.

65

The importance of tempering Manufacturing process of HDPE pipes

1 Driving motor Raw material 3 Extruder

4 Screw 5 Electric strip heaters 6 Mould

7 Gauging device 8 Cooling bath

9 Drawing device 10 Finished pipe

As a result of manufacturing, the molecule chains are stretched and than cooled down from about 230°C to 40°C. This enormous drop in temperature results in tensile stresses which are «frozen in» by the cooling down process.

Stretched molecules after manufacturing (non tempered pipes)

When hot water flows through a streched pipe or the pipe is heated up by doing a welding joint, e.g. with an electroweld sleeve coupling, the expanded molecules relax and return to their normal state. The pipe becomes shorter.

Without tempering, shortening of dimensions can create gaps between pipe and fitting, pipes can be pulled apart high risk of leakage!

The importance of tempering Effects of annealing of Geberit HDPE pipes

The safest way of avoiding the inevitable heat shortening of dimensions after heat load in the plastic pipe is to take preventative measures (Tempering) during manufacture. Geberit pipes are therefore stored in a hot water bath after manufacture, this allows the expanded molecules to relax and return to their normal state = No stresses on Geberit pipes.

Molecules after Geberit annealing process (all Geberit HDPE pipes)

Tempering of Geberit pipes reduces mechanical stress on joints and fixations. Through this process even the high precision requirements for electroweld sleeve couplings can be met.

Length = 5000 mm

Admitted shortening according to standards 150 mm

Max. admitted shortening according to Geberit licence 50 mm

67

The significance of the pH value One of the most crucial factors in selecting a material for a drainage installation is the chemical loading of the effluent being discharged. Effluent with a low or a high pH is harmful because of its corrosive effects. E. g. some drain cleaning fluids have a pH value of up to 12. Therefore in order to select the most suitable material to handle a specific discharge it is important not only to know the pH value of the effluent but the chemical resistance of the pipe materials. (see Chemical Resistance tables on pages 65 to asses the performance of Geberit HDPE at various temperatures) The pH value is therefore important in assessing the chemical level as it will indicate whether the effluent is acid, neutral or alkaline. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 (see table below). PH valve 7 neutral.

Chemical resistance list

Chemical resistance list Explanation When the pipe wall material comes into contact with substances flowing through the pipe, different processes can take place, such as the absorption of liquid (swelling), the extraction of soluble elements in the material (shrinkage) or chemical reactions (hydrolysis, oxidation etc.), which can sometimes cause the properties of the pipes or pipeline parts to change. The performance of pipes and pipeline parts when in contact with effluent substances can be classed as follows: ● Resistant The pipe wall material is generally regarded as being suitable ❍◗ Limited resistance

The suitability of the pipe wall material must be checked in each individual case; if necessary, further tests should be carried out. ❍ Not resistant The pipe wall material is generally regarded as being unsuitable.
