GENERAL FEATURES OF Almona SYSTEM

Characteristics of
PPR-C Type 3

Almona is the first choice for customers across Saudi Arabia, with a product
range from 20mm to 125mm pipes and its accessories. The pipes comply
with the Saudi (SASO) and German (DIN) Standard.

Melting index

Almona is a system of pipes and fittings made from Polypropylene Random Copolymer (PPR-C), specially developed for the use and construction
of heating and water supply systems of the most widely varying forms, with
outstanding reliability over time.
One special feature of Almona system is the assembly technique, in which
the parts to be connected are welded by melting. After welding, the pipe
and fitting from a single, continuous body, with none of the problems
which may derive from potential leakage points.
The assembly method, the wide range of sizes and the fittings available, the
versatility of the system and its excellent chemical and physical properties
make Almona a product of exceptional quality.

Almona system is made from PPR-C, a Random Copolymer Polypropylene

approved for the production of pipes according to DIN 8078 standards
(Polypropylene Pipes. General Quality Requirements - Tests).
The raw material is supplied in granules.
Before processing, the granule is submittet to specific tests in our laboratories to verify its suitability for use (ISO/R 1133 procedure 18. Melt index
MFI 190/5).
(PPR-C) is a thermoplastic resin which is transformed into the finished product by a rise in temperature, which plasticizes the material, allowing the
pipe to be produced by means of extrusion, and the fittings by moulding.
These processes are carried out inside our factory, under the control of
skilled, qualified staff. The dimensions of the pipes and fittings, with the relative processing tolerances, are established in accordan-ce with DIN 8077
(Pipes in polypropylene, PP, dimensions).

Characteristics of
PPR-C Type 3

Almona system is suitable for transporting hot and cold fluids under pressure
for long periods of time.
This capability makes it ideal for the construction of water supply, heating and
air-conditioning systems, in residential and industrial buildings.
It is also suitable for transporting fluids for human consumption and industrial
fluids (see table on page 39).
See chapter 6 of this Guide for a more complete discussion of the operating
conditions the system is able to withstand.

Main Characteristic Of The System

Introduction

Almona has many characteristics which make it an ideal system for constructing modern plants at the technological state of the art.

Resistance To
Electrochemical
Corrosion

Almona is chemically inert and highly resistant to a wide range of acids and
bases. This makes it suitable for contact with the materials normally used in
the construction sector, such as lime or cement, with no need for specific
protection.
For transport of/or contact with special substances, please refer to check
the chemical resistance of the polypropylene, consulting the table provided on page 39.

Low Thermal
Conductivity

Chapter 01

Main Characteristic Of The System

02

LOW NOISE

Due to the materials high sound insulation value, the noise level of systems is
considerably reduced both with particularly high water flow speeds and when
water hammers are present.

HYGIENIC AND
NON-TOXIC

(PPR-C Type 3), the raw material used for production of Almona system, is completely non-toxic and complies with current standards at international level.

RESISTANCE TO
STRAY ELECTRIC
CURRENTS

Thanks to its high electrical insulating properties, Almona is unaffected by stray

currents, which may create dangerous punctures in metal pipes. This phenomenon occurs above all in installations in zones with a high concentration of industrial facilities, close to railway lines and in other zones with a high concentration of electrostatic currents.

LOW LOSS
OF PRESSURE

Thanks to the particularly homogeneous, compact structure of the material,

achieved using a state of the art production technology, the inside surfaces of
Almona pipes and fittings are non porous and free from cracks or crazing. This
means the surfaces are extremely smooth, and loss of pressure are very low
(see graphs on page 17).

The materials high level of thermal insulation guarantees low heat loss on
the part of the fluid transported. This means minimal drop in temperature
between the hot water production and delivery points, with consequent
energy saving.

There is also no risk of pipe blockages caused by scale deposits.

EASY
WORKABILITY

Due to the density of just 0.898 g/cm3, pipes and fittings are very light. Combined with the wide range of fittings available, this enables complete installations to be made easily and safely, with considerable time savings compared to
conventional products.

The low thermal conductivity value also causes a drastic reduction in the
formation of condensation on the outside of the pipe, a frequent problem
on metal pipes in some temperature and humidity conditions.
Finally, it takes longer for the water to freeze when the outdoor temperature is particularly low.

Introduction

Almona + Aluminium Foil System

Alongside Almona normal PPR Pipes has also developed another system in
random copolymer polypropylene, under the trade mark of Almona STABI
Pipe.
This product is made from the same raw material as the basic line, which
is used to produce pipes bonded on the outside during extrusion with a
sheet of aluminium. This part is then given a further coating of a PP-R layer
by a co-extrusion process.
This surface layer protects the aluminium sheet from any degradation processes which might affect it when in service.

PROPERTIES

Chapter 01

Almona + Aluminium Foil System

LOW THERMAL
EXPANSION

03

The sheet of aluminium helps to keep the pipes thermal expansion coefficient
low:
= 0.06 mm/mC
facilitating installations of the material outside walls or floors.

EXCELLENT
WORKABILITY

The composite pipe is very easily bent into shape, aiding installation with runs
with frequent changes in direction. Once bent as required, the pipe retains this
shape with no further changes.

SHEAR
STRENGTH

The aluminium sheet and outer PP-R coating give Almona STABI pipe greater
shear strength, providing greater protection for the underlying pipe.

As well as the characteristics already mentioned for the conventional system, the composite pipe thus obtained offers a series of additional properties listed hereafter.

a) PP-R fittings for welding;

b) PP-R fittings with metal insert.

PRESSURE

TIME

These parameters are linked together by means of the REGRESSION CURVES

of the material, shown in graph form below. Almona system pipes and fittings
must be used and installed in accordance with THESE parameters, i.e. without
exceeding the limit conditions for operation. It must be remembered that Almona belongs to the PN20 operating class. For this class, the OPERATING CONDITIONS, obtained from the regression curves applying a safety coefficient of
1.5, are the following:

In the first case, the joint between the pipe and the fitting (and in some
cases between fitting and fitting) is made by melting the parts, while in the
second case one end of the fitting has a threaded metal insert sunk into the
PP-R body. Parts of this kind are used in the ends of the system, allowing
connection to equipment installed previously, or any other threaded metal
elements.
For diagrams and availability of fittings in the various sizes, see pages
52-53-54-55 of this guide.

WATER AT 20 C
LOSS OF
PRESSURE

Calculation of the loss of pressure is a fundamental step in the design of

heating and water supply systems. This parameter is closely linked to the
delivery rate of the system, meaning the amount of water which reaches
the individual users in the unit of time. Loss of pressure may be continuous
or localized. The sum of these two components provides the total loss of
pressure of the system.

The continuous
loss of pressure

Continuous loss of pressure are generated by the continuous resistances

which a fluid encounters as it travels along a pipe. These consist of the internal frictions of the fluid itself, due to viscosity, and those generated by
contact with the inside surface of the pipe.

SPEED
(m/s)

FLOW RESISTANCE
(m/m)

INTERNALD IAMETER
(mm)

FLOW RATE
(l/s)

Continuous headlosses are measured in pressure units (pascal, bar, metres

or millimetres of water column); in general, the measurement refers to a
unit length of pipe.
In the specific case of Almona and Almona STABI system pipes, the continuous loss of pressure are determined by means of the graphs given on the
facing page (measured for water at 20C).

FLOW RESISTANCE DIAGRAM

Example:

To use the monogram, at least two quantities will have to be established, one of which is the size of the pipe
and the second generally the flow rate or speed.
Pipe PN20: 32 x 5,4
int. = 21,2 mm (point A)

Localized loss of pressure are generated by the irregularities which a fluid

encounters as it flows along the pipeline (bends, valves, reductions, etc.).

Once the coefficients r are known, the systems localized loss of pressure
are calculated using the following formula:

There are various ways of expressing localized loss of pressure; in our discussion, we consider those which refer to the measurement of the so-called

Chapter 06

EXPANSION AND
STIRRUPS

Technical Guidelines

Each material which undergoes a variation in temperature over time reacts

by modifying its size to varying degrees.
This phenomenon is called thermal expansion; the body will increase in
volume when the temperature rises, or contract when it decreases.

Chapter 01

Calculating the
expansion

Chapter 06

The variation in length L of a Almona pipe further to a temperature variation can be calculated using the following formula:
L = L T
where:
L
= variation in pipe length (mm)

= linear expansion coefficient of the material, which for

Almona is 0.15 mm/mC, while for Almona STABI pipe it is

0.06 mm/mC
L
= length of the pipe section free to expand (m)
T
= difference in temperature between the time of installation and

the operating temperature (C).

Thermal expansion may be linear, superficial or cubic, depending on

whether it mainly affects one, two or all three of the bodys dimensions.
In the case of pipelines, the expansion is mainly linear, since their length
far exceeds their other dimensions.
The parameter which provides guidance on a pipes tendency to expand
or contract in case of a temperature variation is its linear expansion coefficient.
Therefore, when designing and constructing installations it is essential to
know the value of this coefficient, in order to calculate the amount of expansion/contraction and adopt the necessary measures to ensure that this
will not damage the piping.

Technical Guidelines

EXAMPLE 1:
Expansion

L
= 6 m;
Tm
= 20C (installation temperature);
Tmax = 75C (maximum operating temperature);
from which we obtain

Expansion
contraction in
Almona and
Almona STABI
system pipes

L = L T = 0.15 6 55 = 49.5 mm (Almona pipe)

L = L T = 0.06 6 55 = 19.8 mm (Almona STBAI)

Naturally, Almona and Almona STABI system pipes are not immune from
thermal expansion, and so this must be carefully evaluated during design
and installation.

In this case, the pipe expands, increasing its initial length.

First, it is important to distinguish between the two alternative installation

modes:
- installation under concrete
- installation externally (visible)
In the first case, the effect of the expansion is negligible, since the material
is able to absorb it itself and no special measures are required.
On the other hand, when pipes are installed outside the walls and exposed
to considerable variations in temperature, it is essential to allow for the
thermal expansion by proceeding as described hereafter.

EXAMPLE 2:
Contraction

L
= 6 m;
Tm
= 30C (installation temperature);
Tmin = 5C (minimum operating temperature, e.g. air-con

ditioning);
from which we obtain
L = L T = 0.15 6 (-25) = -22.5 mm (Almona pipe)
L = L T = 0.06 6 (-25) = -9.0 mm ( Almona STABI)
In this case, the pipe expands, increasing its initial length.

INSTALLATION
TECHNIQUE WHEN
THERMAL
EXPANSION IS
PRESENT

Once the variation in length of the piping has been calculated, the necessary measures must be taken to ensure that its effects do not cause problems for the piping itself. The following procedures may be used:

Fixed and sliding

points

These are the fixtures which secure the piping to the masonry structure
of the building, totally or partially preventing the movements generated by
thermal expansion.

Fixed points

- provision of fixed and sliding points;

- compensation with expansion arms.

Fixed points prevent pipes from moving, and so must provide a rigid connection between the installation on the one hand and the masonry on the
other.
They are constructed using rigid collars, consisting of a gripping element,
generally metallic, lined with rubber on the pipe side, and a component
for fixing to the wall on the other side. Naturally the part in rubber (or in
another similar material) is intended to prevent dangerous cutting of the
surface of the pipe.

L (mm/m)
______ = Almona pipe
- - - - - - = Almona STABI pipe

Technical Guidelines

Fixed points must normally be positioned where the system changes direction (branches, elbows, etc.) to ensure that the expansion forces are not discharged in these points. In al cases, a fixed supporting point should always
be provided next to any joint in the pipe created using a coupling or any
other welded fitting.

= 0.15 mm/m C
= 0.06 mm/m C

Obviously, the fixed points limit the length of the sections of pipe free to
expand, and thus reduce the relative L value.

EXAMPLE 2:
Relating to the graph

T
= 50C with

Tm = 20 C on installation
Tmax = 70 C max.operating temp.

L = a) 7.5 mm for Almona pipe

b) 3 mm for Almona STABI pipe

these values are multiplied by the total length of the pipe to

obtain the total expansion value.

Sliding points allow the pipe to move axially in both directions.

They therefore have to be positioned well away from joints made using
pipe fittings, on a free length of the pipes surface. The collar which forms
the sliding support point must be absolutely free from parts which might
damage the outside surface of the pipe.

LS = F d L
where:

Previous calculations have given a L = 49.5 mm

Therefore:

To allow correct installation of Almona and Almona STABI system pipes on

the outside of walls, the following is the graph used to calculate the stirrup
distances between points. These distances remain the same regardless of
whether the pipes are horizontal or vertical.

LS = F d L = 30 (40 49.5) = 1335 mm

Nota: when Almona STABI pipe is used in the same conditions and with the same
F value, the expansion arm will be shorter than for Almona. This is because of the
lower thermal expansion coefficient, which means that the increase in pipe length
is reduced.

LS

When Almona STABI pipes are used, the reduced expansion of these pipes
allows the distances between points to be increased.

06

With this technique, the pipe run is designed to allow any expansion to be absorbed. To ensure this, expansion arms, where the pipe is able to expand in
case of thermal stresses, are installed at points where the direction changes
(elbows, tees, etc.).
The specifications of these expansion arms are calculated using the following
formula:

Sliding points also provide support and ensure (provided enough of them
are installed) that the pipe remains straight in spite of thermal stresses.

MAKING WELDS

Almona system elements can be welded together using the welding machine
or an electric welder and suitable electric couplings.

Welding using the

welding machine

Welds are made by first heating the outside surface of the pipe and the inside
surface of the fitting simultaneously, on the welding machine die. The pipe is
then inserted in the fitting, to create a socket joint.

N.B.:
The heating time is calculated from the moment when the pipe and fitting make contact on
the dies.

2) Preparing the elements for welding

Cut the pipe using the cutting tool provided and check that the parts to
be connected are clean. Otherwise, clean the surfaces to be mated during
welding with a clean cloth.

PROCESSING
Alomna STABI

Making a joint with the

welding machine

Almona STABI can be processed in the same way as Almona, but the outer layer
of PP-R and the underlying aluminium sheet must be removed. As an alternative, the special self-adapting unions can be used.

Sequence of operations
1) Preparing the welding machine and cutting the pipe
These operations take place as described previously for the Almona system.

3) Making the weld

After checking that the welding machine is ready, fit the pipe and the fitting simultaneously into the dies of the corresponding size, following the
working conditions stated in the table in page 32. After heating, remove
the elements from the dies and make the joint.

30

2) Scraping the pipe

This operation, carried out on the end of the pipe to be welded, is performed
using a special scraping tool by hand, or mechanically with the aid of a drill.
To ensure that the scraper blade only removes the aluminium and outer PP-R
cladding, it is very important to adjust the blade using the screw provided, with
the aid of the setting template.

31

07

Chapter 07

Processing

When scraping, it is also essential to take care not to reduce the thickness of the
PP-R pipe.

Chapter 07

- Once the heating time has passed (5 sec.) the repair bar must be inserted
in the hole. When this operation is complete, wait for everything to cool and
then cut off the excess part of the repair bar. If the diameter of the hole to be
repaired is greater than that of the die, or both sides of the pipe are punctured,
the piece of pipe must be cut out and the repair made using normal pipe fittings, or more easily using the electric couplings.

3) Making the weld

The weld is then made following the procedures described previously.

USING THE HOLE

REPAIRING DIE

If a hole is accidentally made in the pipe (with a drill bit, for example) and
if the hole is in only one side of the pipe, it can be repaired using the hole
repairing die, bearing in mind that the pipe size must be compatible with
the die diameter.
The repair procedure is as follows:
- Clean and dry the part to be repaired.
- Fit the male part of the hole repairing die into the hole; it must melt the
surface to be welded. The die has a metal bush which can be adjusted by
the operator to suit the pipe thickness, to ensure that the die cannot be inserted too far and melt the other side of the pipe. To make this adjustment,
undo the screw which fixes the bush and then move it along the die.

Welding operation

- At the same time as the male part of the die melts the area around the
hole, the female part melts the repair bar usually supplied with the die.

INSTRUCTIONS
FOR using Almona
Saddle

Processing

The use of a saddle fitting enables derivations to be applied to previously

installed tracts of piping whose diameter is larger than the requirements of
the new fitting tracts to be made.

After verifying that the polyfuse welding device has reached working conditions, indicated by the green indicator light going off, at the same time
exert a light pressure until the surfaces of the dies fit perfectly together
with those of the pipe and fitting.
The time required for this operations is shown in the table, bearing in mind
that the heating time indicated must be calculated from the moment the
surfaces come into contact with each other. Once the set period of time has
elapsed, the seams of the fused material will appear.

To carry out the required welding, it is imperative that the appropriate dies
for the polyfuse welding are used. These dies, thanks to their particular geometry allow for the fusion of concave or convex surfaces to be welded
increasing the surface area to be fused.

1) Preparing the pipe surface.

07

Chapter 07

3) Welding operation.

The section to be affected by the deviation must be cleaned of all traces

of dirt.
The surface to be welded must be scraped, using an appropriate scraper.
The scraping process is essential for removing the external film of the pipe,
that over time, has oxidized and which will prevent a good weld from being
achieved.

Once the heating time has elapsed, the dies must be removed from the elements to be joined and, exerting an even pressure, bring the pipe-fitting
elements together within the time indicated in the table, keeping them
pressed for at least an additional 30 seconds.

3) Cooling.

2) Procedure for borning the pipe.

Boring the pipe can be done using a standard drill tip.
The size of this tip must always be 1 mm smaller than the size of the derivation to be made (see table below).

At the end of the welding operation, avoid either mechanical or heat stress
to the joint for the time of cooling which must take place at ambient temperature.

Make the hole whilst working, taking care not to damage the wall
opposite.

3) Estimated times and tip diameters

3) Dies for polyfuse welding and fusion procedure.
With normal polyfuse welding the dies must be mounted bearing the following in mind:
The concave element acts on the external surface of the pipe on which the
derivations are to be executed and on the hole made.
The convex element acts on the fitting made for the derivation.

Precautions

Foreword

Use of a system of plastic pipes and fittings offers a series of advantages

from various points of view, as fully described in Main features of Almona
system, Chapter 2 (page 7).
However, in order to enjoy all the benefits of these properties, the user
must be well aware of every aspect relating to the product to be used. To
assist Almona system user, we have prepared a number of important recommendations, set out below.

OPERATING
CONDITIONS

The use of Almona and Almona STABI in the stated operating conditions
creates absolutely no problems for the material.
However, exceeding the limit conditions for use may impair the products
resistance.
All precautions must therefore be taken to ensure that this does not occur;
this not only protects the system itself, but frequently also its user.

ULTRAVIOLET
RAYS

Almona pipe must never be installed or stored where it is subject to

direct ultraviolet rays (sunlight or neon lights). Ultraviolet ray causes
ageing in the material, leading to loss of its initial chemicalphysical characteristics.
Almona STABI pipes can be installed on the outside of walls, but on the
inside of the building, while installations with direct exposure to U.V. radiation are not recommended, since its effects gradually break down first
the external PP-R film, then the aluminium sheet and finally the pipe below.

40

Precautions

Chapter 09

09

HANDLING PIPES

During handling, storage and use on site, bundles of pipes or individual lengths
must be protected against excessive external stresses, such as shaking, knocks,
hammer blows, etc. This is even more important as the ambient temperature
falls, since at low temperatures the material is more rigid and has a less elastic
response to outside stresses.

FORMATION
OF ICE

When water passes from the liquid to the solid state (ice), its volume increases
to an extent which may generate stresses inside the installation which the material is unable to withstand. The appropriate measures must be taken to ensure
that this does not occur, draining the system completely after testing if there is
the risk of freezing.

41

09

Chapter 09

CONTACT WITH
SHARP EDGED
BODIES

Precautions

Precautions

Any contact with sharp edged bodies (such as brick shards) causes cuts on
the outside of the pipe which might lead to breakages later. Care must be
taken to ensure that this does not occur during storage and installation,
and any scratched or scored pipes must not be used.

FITTINGS WITH
METAL INSERT

Chapter 09

09

When using Almona system fittings with threaded female metal insert, do not
apply excessive tightening torques when connecting to male fittings. Also, take
care not to place too much hemp between the parts to be assembled. Teflon
is to be preferred in all cases. In addition, check that the male part is long
enough for a proper connection; generally, at least one turn of thread should
be left free.
If installation requirements mean that a Almona system fitting must be connected to an iron pipe or union, the connection should be made using Almona
fittings with male thread.

CUTTING PIPES
BENDING

Use tools capable of making a burr-free cut, perpendicular to the pipes axis.

To bend Almona system pipes, proceed as follows:

- for very wide radius curves, the pipe may be bent cold
- for radii close to, but not below, 8 times the diameter of the pipe
concerned, the pipe should be heated with hot air.
- flames must not be used.
Rmin 8 D

WELDING

42

The parts for welding must always be thoroughly clean and the welding machines thermostat must indicate that it has reached the operating temperature.
No twisting forces must be applied to the connected parts, either during or
after welding. See page 30, Welding with the welding machine.

43

Chapter 10

PROCEDURE

Testing The Installation

Prototype Water System

Testing plays a fundamental role in ensuring that the installation operates

correctly. Testing allows the installation technician to check that the system
is not leaking at any point, for any reason.
The operations required are:
- Visual check on the pipes and fittings
This ensures that the pipes and fittings have been installed correctly and
that no parts have been accidentally damaged by sharp-edged bodies.
- Tightness test
This is carried out with the system still directly accessible; it is filled with
water at ambient temperature, taking care to vent the air present.
After filling, after sealing the system, it is put under pressure for 24 h with
the following pressure value:
TESTING PRESSURE = PN (pipe nominal pressure)
For the Almona system, PN = 20 bar.
After the specified time, a visual inspection allows the installation technician to check whether there are any leakage points.
