SYNOPSIS
Polypropylene (PPR) Piping Systems are currently widely used in the hot and cold water plumbing applications in Malaysia. The standards used in certifying PPR pipes and fittings are ISO 15874, and MS2286. In the past, the pressure ratings of plastic pipes and fittings adopt the Class and PN systems such as Class C, D and E (equivalent to PN 9, 12, and 15 respectively). However, the current PPR piping standards focus on the Standard Dimension Ratio (SDR) classification resulting in the S Series System such as S5, S3.2 and S2.5. The Standards also introduce the concept of Application Class whereby each has different test parameters even though the pipe series are the same. In short, the Standards are not user friendly and created several confusions as to the pressure ratings of each of the S series pipes that correspond to the respective Application Class.This technical presentation attempts to address the confusion with the following:
• Brief Overview of the different Thermoplastic Materials • The reference standards, ISO 15874 Parts 1 to 7 • Application Class • Tests parameters for different Application Class • Relating the S Series to the Pressure Class (PN) • Fitness For Purpose Test with emphasis on Thermal Cycling Test
The delegate will then be introduced to the PPR pipe manufacturing process and witness for the first time the Thermal Cycling Test of PPR Pipe and Fittings that complies with ISO 15874-5 (test method EN 12293). This test is only available in Azeeta Pipe System Sdn Bhd as we designed and built this test facility with SIRIM’s blessing and became the first in Malaysia to have such testing facility.
