PEX tubing and its simple installation

Tubing is a building block of a water supply piping system that has various advantages over the ordinary metal and rigid plastic pipes systems. This pipe is formed from the highly cross linked polythene polymers. The polymer used in the construction of this pipe is known as HDPE which stands for high density polyethylene. This polymer is allowed to melt and is then incessantly extruded into the tube. This type of the cross linking can be performed in various methods.
Pex tubing - smart alternative for traditional pipes There are immense advantages of this pipe which makes it applicable for vast applications. PEX tubing are flexible, do not corrode or develop certain pinholes, provide resistance to chlorine and the scale formation which are very common in other ordinary rigid pipes. Also it allows very few connections and fittings than other pipes. And the main advantage of this pipe is that it can be allowed to bend at 90 degree without any fitting or connections.



There are some connection methods that are required for the fitting of the PEX tubing to brass PEX fittings that make the use of the copper crimp ring and different kinds of PEX crimping tools. This copper crimp ring is made to insert above PEX tubing, then this fitting is pushed inside that pipe and after that copper ring crimp is crimpled above the pipe and fitting is done using the crimping tools. These tools, crimping rings and fittings are easily available.

Tools for PEX piping There is another fitting method that is known as expansion fitting method. This method involves the use of expansion tools that allows the increment in the diameter of the PEX piping. There are some special expansion fittings that are made to insert into the expanded tube and also shrink back to the original shape around the fitting. After that a white colored ring is made to crimp over the fitting to ensure the tight connection.

Corrosion protection of my brass ball valves

Corrosion protection is one of the most important requirements in the construction of pipelines (especially the trunk). Protection expose themselves directly to pipes, fittings, valves (http://brassballvalves.info). The requirements for corrosion-resistant coating is constantly being tightened, modern insulation materials help to protect pipes and fittings from corrosion for 20-30 years. Because of the specialization of our company, detailing corrosion protection of valves and pipeline fittings in the system of "Transneft".

The main documents governing the various kinds of protection of pipelines and fittings from corrosion, are GOST 51164 "Pipelines steel trunk. General requirements for corrosion protection ", RD-23.040.00-KTN-189-06" Rules for corrosion protection of above ground pipelines, structures and equipment facilities of main oil pipelines, OTT-04.00-27.22.00-KTN-006-1-03 " Technical requirements for external anticorrosion coating molded fittings and valves of the pipeline "; OTT 08.00.60.30.00-KTN-036-1-05" trunk pipeline. Fittings.
In the foregoing documents detail procedures for all types of work on application of protective coatings, the requirements for materials and equipment, methods of acceptance and control of the paint.
Depending on the location and conditions of the coating are divided into two types: the factory and line. Typically, in applications from contractors engaged in construction at the sites of Transneft, indicated that fixture shall be factory-corrosion coating. In practice, very few factories reinforcing its own exercise of protective coatings, especially on products for underground installation. Costs for the purchase of necessary equipment, materials, training of qualified personnel are sufficiently large. To dye valves according to the requirements of Transneft manufacturers attract specialized organizations that have licenses and permits for this type of work, and maintained by applying a protective coating on valve or on the territory of the plant itself, either on their own areas. Typically, such teams have a mobile painting of insulating and conducting work in the factories as well as "in the fields. From personal experience would like to note that the cost of the work on protective coatings that claim manufacturers valves are often substantially higher than the cost of these works, which take the actual perpetrators, while painting and in the factory and in our territory is held by the same materials , the same people and on the same hardware.
To protect the valves installed underground (both directly in the ground and in the wells) to the requirements of PAS-04.00-27.22.00-KTN-006-1-03 The most widely used materials of the Japanese company "Kawakami Paint FIG. Co.Ltd. "Brands FRUCS-1000A and US materials brand Biurs." These compounds are epoxy-urethane coating and consist of an epoxy primer layer and the outer layer of polyurethane. Plot the data coverage in parts insulated pipes and fittings by "hot" airless through special facilities. Subject to the technology of the work life of these coatings may exceed 30 years.

Circulator pumps for private houses and apartments

The desire for a comfortable life proper to man. That is why most manufacturers of household appliances from one year to improve its products. For more options, higher reliability, elegant design - everything is done to ensure that consumers feel a new level of convenience and quality. But is the sphere of which we seldom think in everyday life. If large and small household appliances constantly reminds about themselves, then such subtle, but essential devices such as pumps urbanite perceived solely as a prerogative of municipal structures. Typically, the existence of these aggregates, we remember only when problems arise, which it is impossible not to notice. Other business owners of houses and individual houses. They tend to thoroughly know why their economy but there are some circulator pumps, but also private entrepreneurs do not usually think about innovations in this area, preferring to buy well known and usually fairly simple model, assuming that they reliable technical innovations. Let us say at once, both of these categories of consumers caught up in stereotypes. And the citizen and the owner of the cottage can significantly increase the level of comfort, if we pay attention to the modern pumping equipment for domestic purposes. It may seem strange, but today the once simple pumps for domestic use produced by leading manufacturers with advanced technologies, and not inferior to their industrial brethren. There is another aspect: technical innovations in this area not only improve the quality of life, but also help save considerably, saving precious now electricity and heat.

Technical characteristics

Chemical properties

Pipes are resistant to various chemical solutions. If you need to use pipes for transporting liquids other than potable water, it is necessary to obtain a preliminary consultation with a specialist firm Everhot.

Saving forms

After bending pipe retains the desired shape, which facilitates and accelerates the assembly of fittings and further work with the pipe.

Resistance to wear

The inner layer of tubes made of high cross-linked polyethylene. It provides almost complete absence of wear, even at high velocity.

Expansivity

Thanks to the aluminum layer of the linear expansion coefficient is 0.025 mm / (IBSC) and, thus, comparable with the coefficient of linear expansion of copper and nearly eight times less than that of plastic pipes.

PEX Tubing Wirsbo

Wirsbo PEX Tubing system is a low-temperature system that uses the floor surface as a source of heat distribution. Installation of such systems requires knowledge of the foundations of their work and practical skills.
Despite the fact that they can use the same sources of heat, floor heating differs significantly from the radiator, in particular the methods of heat distribution.

Key features and benefits of PEX Tubing:

• heating element is the entire surface of the floor. There are no heaters. The possibility of a more efficient use of space in residential, office or other premises;
• Low coolant temperature, which is about +25-45 ° C;
• Uniform and beneficial to humans in terms of physiology, the distribution of temperature in the room at his height;
• Ability to use various coating floors (wood, stone or ceramics);
• Can be used for water heating virtually any source of energy from coal-fired water heaters, gas, oil or electricity to nekonvektivnyh sources such as heat pumps, solar collectors or geothermal sources;
• Hygiene - repeated lowering the amount of dust in the air space and with it the bacteria that often cause various diseases;
• High impact pleasant for a man of the thermal radiation (50-70%), allowing a higher thermal comfort in the room;
• Cost of thermal energy. In residential buildings -20-30%, and in rooms with high ceilings, for example, sports halls, exhibition halls, etc. - Up to 50% and higher!
• Optimum humidity in the room;
• In contrast to hot radiators (over +70 ° C) floor heating does not contribute to unfavorable human positive air ionization, which provides low-quality impact on human health;
• Lack of a strong source of heat radiation in the vicinity of Rights;
• In areas where people reside, the maximum temperature of the floor is by European standards +29 ° C, and the average temperature during the heating period varies within +23-24 ° C.

In PEX Tubing, almost 70% of heat is transferred in the form of a pleasant, gentle heat radiation, which is not conducive to the raising of dust in the air. Why is this happening? When the air temperature in the room +20 ° C average temperature on the surface of the floor in the heating season is 23-24 ° C, which shows that the temperature difference of 3-4 ° C. And with radiator heating, radiator temperature 50-60 ° C, a temperature difference of 30-40 ° C. That is a big temperature difference is responsible for the strong convection. which contributes to isolation from the floor and dust lifting up.
