Service Pipe:
The service pipe shall be Type 鈥淜鈥, or Type 鈥淟鈥 hard drawn seamless copper tubing to ASTM B-88 and WWT-799.Refrigerant piping shall meet ASTM B-280, Type ACR and ASME 31.5 Straight lengths of piping will be supplied in 20 ft. lengths with 6鈥 of piping exposed at each end for field joint fabrication.
Insulation:
The insulation shall be a foamed in place closed cell polyurethane which completely fills the annular space between the carrier pipe and the exterior casing. The insulation shall have the following physical properties:Minimum Density (lb./cu. ft.) 2.0 (ASTM D-1621)
90-95 % Closed Cell (ASTM D-2856)
鈥淜鈥 Factor BTU/Hr. sq. ft. 掳F/in. 147 (ASTM C-177)
Exterior Casing:*
The exterior casing shall be:- Seamless, extruded white PVC Type 1, Grade 1, Class 12454-B per ASTM D-1784 or
- High Density Polyethylene (H.D.P.E.) with the following physical properties:
- ASTM D-3350鈥esin Type III, Grade P34
- ASTM D-633鈥ltimate Elongation 850%
- ASTM D-633鈥ensile Yield Strength 3300 psi
- ASTM D-790鈥angent Flexural Modules 175,000 psi
Sub-Assemblies:
All fittings, anchors, end seals, other sub-assemblies shall be prefabricated or field fabricated dependant upon engineer鈥檚 option and/or site conditions.Field Joints:
After soldering and hydrostatic testing, PVC jacketed straight field joints shall be insulated with polyurethane foam to the thickness specified, PVC sleeve and pressure sensitive tape. HDPE jackets will use polyurethane foam and a heat shrinkable sleeve.Expansion/Contraction Compensation:
Expansion and contraction within the piping system shall be accommodated with factory prefabricated internal expansion elbows, z-bends, expansion loops, and anchors specifically designed for each application. External expansion compensation can be provided with the use of flexible foam bolsters.For other relevant searches, you might want to try:
