MULTILAYER PIPE ( PERT -AL- PERT ) PIPEX CONTAIN FIVE (5 ) DIFFERENT LAYERS :
• 1º inner layer : PE- RT pipe. Temperature resistant polyethylene, as defined by the standard UNE 53960EX .
• 2º adhesive layer , particularly designed for bonding plastic to metal , with melting point over 120 ° C .
• 3º Aluminum core layer butt welded . Aluminum alloy tubes especially designed for water under pressure . “Butt welding” advantages :
– A perfect symmetry of the tube, and thus a better bond with the accessory.
– A greater strength of the pipe , uniform over the entire circumference , this ensures the pipe has a greater resistance to pressure and stress generated whith the bending process of the pipes .
– Increased resistance of the weld spot . In multilayer butt welded pipes, the welding line of the aluminum layer is precisely the strongest point of the foil .
• 4º adhesive layer , particularly designed for bonding plastic to metal , with a melting point over 120 ° C .
• 5º outer layer : PE- RT pipe. Temperature resistant polyethylene, as defined by the standard UNE 53960EX .
The manufacturing technology PIPEX Multilayer pipe ensures the perfect welding of aluminum as good the adhesion between the plastic and metal materials , thus achieving high quality pipes that perfectly fulfill the needs required by the market tubes for hot water and heating.
Combination of Plastic Materials (PE- RT) and metal ( aluminum) gives the tubes MULTICAPA PIPEX Excellent Properties , acquiring the Advantages of Plastic and metal pipes , and eliminating the disadvantages of both types of pipes . Among these features highlight :
• Reliability. Product certified by AENOR.
• Ease of Installation . No welding or machining is required.
• Security. Multilayer pipe PIPEX aluminum layer is produced under the “butt welded” system , providing greater resistance to the pressure and stress that generates when pipes are curved.
• Flexibility. Multilayer pipes PIPEX Present good flexibility and stability properties allowing pipes to bend up to a radius of curvature of 2.5 to 5 times the outside diameter of the tube , keeping the adjusted shape after it’s handling . They can be bent and curved cold with great simplicity and without any special tools .
• Resistant to high temperatures. PIPEX Multilayer Pipes can be used with temperatures up to 95 ° C and 110 ° C for some hours.
• Resistant to high pressures. The estimated multilayer pipe PIPEX work-life under temperatures between 0-95ºC and pressures up to 10 bar is 50 years. At 20ºC the pipe withstands pressures up to 25 bar.
• Resistant to oxygen diffusion. The aluminum layer is a barrier to gas molecules , eliminating the risk of corrosion which generates oxygen diffusion .
• Resistant to corrosion and chemicals . The plastic tubes are more resistant than metal to chemicals commonly used ( as reflected in the UNE 53389 : 2001 IN) . These pipes resist chemical damage produced by solvents, oils, and water without corrosion occurring , being suitable for transporting corrosive fluids .
• Minimum losses.The roughness of the walls of the tubes MULTICAPA PIPEX is much lower than metal pipes. This reduces the energy requirements for pumping water and carries higher flow rate to the inside of the tubes with equal diameter .
• No fouling. The plastic inner layer is very resistant to limescale and dirt caused by galvanic corrosion substances.
• Resistant to abrasion. MULTICAPA PIPEX pipes are erosion and wear-resistant, even in the curved parts where a greater speed of water tends to generate a bigger deterioration.
• Resistant to microbial growth . The absence of corrosion stops the microbial growth.
• Lightweight. Weighs 7 times less than copper and 13 times less than iron , for equivalent diameters .
• Optimal sanitary conditions . MULTICAPA PIPEX is suitable for use in any installation of hot water and heating. Made with non-toxic materials and it’s accepted for use in drinking water.
• Insulation – Low temperature loss . PIPEX multilayer pipes have a very low thermal conductivity of only 0.43 w / mk , which significantly reduces temperature loss by diffusion.
• Frost resistant.Prevents condensation and reduces the possibility of water freezing .
• Electrical insulator. Eliminates any type of galvanized corrosion .
• It does not transmit noise . Its flexibility greatly reduces the transmission of acoustic velocities even at a higher water flow than metal pipes have.
• Suitable for seismic zones . Because of their elasticity and flexibility they can absorb greater amount of stress than metallic pipes .
• Low Expansion . The expansion generated by temperature change is minimum , compared to the one generated in metal pipes.
• Shock resistant. The combination of a rigid but flexible pipe allows it to easily absorb hits and impacts .
The properties that characterize multilayer pipe PIPEX qualify it as the ideal driving pipe for applications in hot water ( heating pipes , floor heating or hot water ) or transport of corrosive fluids and it’s main applications include:
· Plumbing (hot and cold domestic water )
· Heating systems
· Underfloor heating system
· Melting systems to stop the formation of ice and snow at the entrance of buildings
· Air Conditioning systems
· Industrial Facilities ( compressed air, toxic or corrosive fluid transport , … )
· Farming installations

QUALITY CONTROL
All production of multilayer pipes PIPEX are subjected to continuous testing and quality controls which ensure that the product that is launched to the market is correct for installation purposes. PIPEX SYSTEMS SA has a laboratory equipped with the most modern quality control tools that perform all the required tests to the pipe:
- Dimensions: diameter , inner diameter , wall thickness , rounding of the pipes . Double control both during the production line and afterwards on the already manufactured product . UNE -EN 3126.
- Appearance: Control of the various layers of the product checking there are no holes , wrinkles , cracks or any other defect that prevents normal functioning.
- Heat Behavior :( Longitudinal Shrinkage ) . According to UNE 53960EX . Ensures the proper use of the pipe after undergoing thermal expansion without having the adhesion between layers suffer.
- Resistance to internal hydraulic pressure :The test is performed using the method described in standards UNE-EN ISO 1167. The conditions of time , temperature and pressure are those described in the UNE 53960EX standard ( see “Technical Data”)
- Adherence and cracking expansion : according to UNE 53960EX . Ensures the correct use of the product after undergoing mechanical expansion equal or greater than 10% of the initial diameter , without lack of adhesion between layers or cracks occuring in the aluminum layer .
- Tensile Adhesion: ( Peel testing ) . According UNE ISO 17454. 53960EX minimal and medium adhesion strength are determined to separate the layers of PE- RT interior and aluminum in a portion equivalent to 270 pipe.
- Thermal Stability : ( Internal pressure ) . According to UNE 53960EX . Pressure test at 110 ° C for 1 year verifies the heat aging resistance of the tube .
- Induction time to oxidation : The test is performed according to the method of the UNE -EN ISO 1133 on the material of the inner layer of PE- RT , both in the starting raw material and the finished product.
- Flow Index : The test is performed according to the method of the UNE -EN ISO 1133 on the material of the inner layer of PE- RT , both in the starting raw material and the finished product.
- Thermal cycling : ( Adhesion and evaluation of the aluminum layer after temperature cycling ) . A pipe sample is subjected to 5000 cycles of 15 minutes to water pressure of 10 bar and temperature of 20 and alternatively 93 ° C. Once the test is finished, drawn adhesion and lack of corrosion in the aluminum layer are determined.
