The Challenge
The main challenges were corrosion and scaling formation on the inner surface of existing steel pipes, causing a decrease of inner diameter of the pipes and consequent decrease of their throughput ability.
Pexgol Solution
Replacement of the existing 159 mm steel pipe with a 160 mm class 15 (SDR 11) Pexgol pipe.
The test line consists of three parts: One section is a white G-Pex pipe manufactured in Moscow, approximately 12 m long. Two more sections are 0.5 m long, each of black Pexgol pipe with flared ends, manufactured in Golan Plastic Products, Israel. These sections were connected by Plasson’s
Electro-fusion Pex-2-Pex couplers. During the entire operation the pipe was under continuous vibration because of a grinder operation.
The pipe was installed by the field team of Polimerteplo Group Llc accompanied by the field installation engineer of Gloan Plastic Products Ltd.
