7.4       INSTALLATION FOR HDPE PIPES:

 

7.4.1     BUTT WELDING : A RELIABLE METHOD FOR LEAKPROOF JOINTS OF     HDPE PIPES:

 

             BUTT WELDING is the most important jointing method in HDPE pipes. This method is known as a heat pressure related process by which the pipe end material of two pipes are melted together under pressure creating a homogenous pipe structure. Simple in its idea, the butt fusion process demands high accuracy to give the final product i.e. a BUTT WELD. However, the method is very simple and reliable.

1.        The two pipes to be welded are clamped in a welding machine &  

              are brought in axial alignment.

2.          Ends of pipes are cleaned using damp cloth and scraper to ensure that welding faces are free from dust and other foreign materials.

3.          The pipe ends are pressurised against the hot plate with a specified temperature (between 2000- 2100C), pressure and specified time. The pipe material melts forming a circular bid on periphery of both the pipe ends.

             4.            When the ends of pipes melted and bid formation is over, the hot plate is removed and the melted ends are pressed against each other to make a Butt Weld. The welding 4pressure is specified and welded time as well. When the weld has been cooled down the pipes are taken out from the machine and preparation of next joint can start.

              AUTOMATIC AIR VENT (AAV):

Automatic air vents, shall be furnished at the top of main water risers, supply and return pipes.

 A shut-off valve shall be provided at the inlet of each automatic air vent.  The outlet shall be piped to the nearest drain.

Air Release Valves shall be capable of automatically releasing accumulated air from a fluid system while that system is in operation and under pressure. To assure drop tight shut-off, a viton orifice button shall be used to seal the valve discharge orifice when the valve is in a closed position.  The orifice diameter will be sized for use within a given operating pressure range to insure maximum discharge capacity.

               9.0        DUCTILE IRON PIPES & FITTINGS

DI pipes (Class K9) and fittings (Class 12) shall be in accordance with IS 8329 and IS 9523 respectively. Pipes and fittings shall be procured from reputed manufacturers.  The Contractor or their authorized representative  shall at all reasonable times have free access to the place where the pipes and fittings are manufactured for the purpose of examining and testing the pipes and fittings and for witnessing the test and manufacturing.
