Supermai PVC-O Guide Supermai Desig ad Istallatio Geeral With some mior exceptios, the recommeded procedures for desig ad istallatio of Supermai pipes are the same as for stadard PVC-U pipes. These are covered by AS 2032 - Istallatio of PVC pipe systems. However, there are some aspects of desig ad istallatio for which either a differet approach is required or a differet respose obtaied from Supermai. These differeces are highlighted below. For detailed iformatio o the desig ad istallatio of all PVC pipes, icludig Supermai, refer to the Viidex Water Supply Maual. Temperature Cosideratios Supermai pipes are de-rated for temperature accordig to the Iteratioal practice for PVC based pipe materials as show i the below table. Supermai pipes ca be used for cotiuous service at temperatures up to 45 C 3. Higher temperatures should be avoided as Supermai will experiece reversio of the orieted structure at elevated temperatures, ad may udergo sigificat dimesioal distortio above 50 C. The operatig temperature above refers to the average across the wall. Short term exposure o oe surface to temperatures i excess of the maximum operatig temperature, such as may occur durig storage ca be tolerated. If extreme coditios are ecoutered for exteded periods durig pipe storage, some ovality may develop i the pipe or socket. This is of o cosequece i the performace of the product ad for joitig, Supermai pipes are readily re-rouded i makig the joit. If prologed storage is expected, cosideratio should be give to shadig the pipe with a material such as shadecloth or hessia, which does ot cocetrate the heat, placed so as to ot restrict the circulatio of air i the pipes, as this has a coolig effect. Fatigue Desig Where a pipelie is to be subjected to a large umber of cyclic or repetitive loads, fatigue Maximum allowable pressure (MPa) Pipe Material Temperature Re-ratig Factor PN 10 PN 12.5 PN 16 PN 20 20 1.00 1.00 1.25 1.60 2.00 25 0.94 0.94 1.18 1.50 1.88 30 0.87 0.87 1.09 1.39 1.74 35 0.79 0.79 0.99 1.26 1.58 40 0.70 0.70 0.88 1.12 1.40 45 0.64 0.64 0.80 1.02 1.28 3 Water Authorities geerally require temperatures of water supplies to be kept below 40 C to prevet growth of bacteria. 8

Supermai Desig ad Istallatio desig must be cosidered. For Supermai pipes, de ratig may be required if the total umber of cycles i the pipe lifetime exceeds 30 000. The fatigue desig procedure is fairly straightforward. Three importat factors must be cosidered. These are the loadig frequecy or umber of cycles per day, the cyclic pressure rage ad the required service life of the pipe. For a give umber of cycles, a fatigue cycle factor is refereced maximum cyclic pressure rage (MCPR) for a particular pipe material ad pressure class. The pressure rage is simply the maximum pressure mius the miimum pressure, icludig all trasiets, experieced by the system durig ormal operatios as illustrated i the diagram below. The effect of accidetal coditios such as power failure may be excluded. Note that for fatigue loadig situatios, the maximum pressure reached i the repetitive cycle should ot exceed the static pressure ratig of the pipe. The diagram also illustrates the defiitio of a cycle as a repetitive evet. I some cases, the cycle patter will be complex ad it may be ecessary to also cosider the cotributio of secodary cycles. For a more detailed discussio of fatigue desig for plastics pipes, icludig examples ad a full list of refereces, please refer to Viidex Techical Notes. To select the appropriate pipe class for fatigue loadig, the followig procedure should be adopted: Estimate the likely pressure rage, P, i.e., the maximum pressure mius the miimum pressure. Estimate the frequecy or the umber of cycles per day, which are expected to occur. Determie the required service life ad calculate the total umber of cycles which occur i the pipe lifetime. Usig the table, determie the fatigue cycle factor to be applied. Calculate the maximum cyclic pressure rage from MCPR = PN x f the followig equatio: 10 Compare MCPR with P, if MCPR is less tha P; try a higher pressure class i the equatio.

Supermai PVC-O Guide Chemical Resistace PVC-O is expected to have the same iheret chemical resistace as PVC-U, as the chemical ature of the two materials is idetical. However, sice the iformatio preseted i chemical resistace tables has bee determied for stadard PVC-U ad the effect of chemical attack o the differet molecular structure of PVC-O has ot bee extesively ivestigated, the use of Supermai pipes i chemical eviromets or for the trasportatio of chemicals is ot recommeded. Lateral Loadigs ad Negative Pressures The stiffess (lateral load for a give diametral deflectio) is related to material modulus ad the cube of the thickess. For PVC-O materials, the modulus is somewhat higher tha that for stadard PVC-U. However, the wall thickess is the overridig factor i determiig the stiffess. Supermai pipes have a sigificatly lower stiffess tha stadard PVC-U pipes of the same pressure class. This is importat i determiig the respose to lateral loadig, due to soil ad traffic, ad egative pressures due to vacuum, groud water etc. I geeral water supply works with buried pipes at ormal covers, lateral stiffess will ot be a limitig desig factor ad will ot require special cosideratio. For abormal coditios, desig should be coducted i accordace with AS/NZS 2566. Viidex recommeds the followig values be used for the rig bedig modulus for Supermai pipes: Short term rig bedig modulus at 20 C E b 4000 MPa Log term rig bedig modulus at 20 C E bl 1800 MPa Bucklig may result if the pipe is subjected to iteral vacuum, as a result of water hammer or siphoage. Other special cases iclude pump suctio lies (with or without submersio) ad cocrete ecasemet. Example: For a Supermai pipe buried with 1m cover height i sady-clay ative soil with sad used as the embedmet material, the followig supported bucklig pressures Pb kpa are calculated i accordace with AS/ NZS 2566.1 usig a effective combied soil modulus, E, of 6.3 MPa ad short term loadig at 20 C. Clearly, i this example, Supermai pipe has a adequate factor of safety for a full vacuum. It should be oted that to obtai support from the soil, the embedmet material must be properly placed ad compacted, ad stable agaist log term washout or leachig. For the case where a pipe has o lateral support from the soil, the usupported critical bucklig pressure must be cosidered. This may occur i above groud lies, or where a udergroud lie emerges ito a pit (usupported legth greater tha 5 diameters). Buried pipes havig cover less tha two diameters or 500 mm should also be cosidered usupported. A table comparig the usupported collapse pressures of Supermai pipe with PVC-U is give below. This compariso is made usig the short-term modulus at 20 C ad would be applicable to a egative pressure associated with water hammer. Water hammer ca ormally be readily cotrolled with air valves ad other devices to prevet egative surges, but uder some circumstaces this is ot possible. Uder these coditios, it ca be see that, despite havig a much lower collapse pressure, the Supermai pipe ca still support a full vacuum with a safety factor of 1.5. Desigers should also evaluate resistace to bucklig for applicatios with sigificat log term egative pressures eg. the presece of groudwater.

Supermai Desig ad Istallatio Joitig to Ductile Iro Fittigs Supermai pipes may be joited to ductile iro push fit ad compressio gasketed fittigs. As with stadard PVC-U, factory witess marks are ot applicable whe joitig to ductile iro fittigs, ad the spigots should be fully iserted to the stop. It is advisable before joitig to mark a witess lie o the spigot at the appropriate legth for the particular fittig so that full isertio ca be observed. The depth of sockets o pipes ad fittigs must be sufficiet to accommodate the axial movemets due to the combied effect of a umber of factors, such as thermal cotractio ad Poisso 4 cotractio which occurs whe a pipe is pressurised. The Poisso effect is more sigificat for PVC-O pipes because of their higher operatig stress. Viidex Superlik Ductile Iro Fittigs have socket legths adequate for all situatios ad are recommeded for use with Supermai pipe. Fittigs sockets from other suppliers may be shorter ad there may be risk of pull out depedig o operatig parameters. If ecessary, short legths or special achorage may be used to compesate for short-socket fittigs. Service Coectios Service coectios to Supermai pipes are made usig a suitable tappig bad complyig with AS/NZS 4793 (It) - Mechaical tappig bads for waterworks purposes ad the followig cosideratios: Holes should be drilled usig a hole saw Tappig bads havig full circle support, a O or V seal, ad positive stop agaist over-tighteig are recommeded for PVC-O pipes Istallatio Istallatio techiques for Supermai pipes are similar to that used for stadard PVC-U pipes. The lower wall thickess ad stiffess of PVC-O pipes compared to PVC-U pipes makes it essetial that recommeded practices for istallatio are adhered to ad the pipe is fully supported. Quality o cohesive material should be used for pipe beddig, side support ad overlay. The pipe side support material should be placed evely o both sides of the pipelie to two thirds the height of the pipe diameter ad compacted by had tampig. Side fill material should be worked uder the sides of the pipe to elimiate all voids ad provide maximum pipe hauchig. The pipe overlay material should be levelled ad compacted i layers to a miimum height of 150mm above the crow of the pipe or as specified. The field testig procedures specified i AS2032 ad the Viidex PVC Techical Maual should also be followed for Supermai pipelies. 4 Chage i dimesios i the directio perpedicular to the directio of stress.
