Technical Catalogue

Introduction

Coestilen is the High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

drainage system. It is exeptinally elastic and resistant to
mechanical stress and vibrations.The programme consists of
pipes
and fittings from 40 mm to 315 mm. It includes
a wide range of joint fittings and connections
to sanitary and sewage systems.
The high molecular weight of PE is
a guarantee against fracture due to
prolonged use. It is also particularly
suited to absorb mechanical stresses
of significant intensity; specifically for
installation in seismic areas. Moreover
it offers excellent resistance to operating
temperatures between 40 and +80C, with the
capacity to handle peaks
of up to 95C.
Coestilen pipes and fittings are compliant with
UNI EN 1519.

1.1 Advantages
Outstanding elasticity and resistance to mechanical stress and vibrations - ideal for seismic areas.
Outstanding resistance to chemicals, working temperatures between -40C and +80C and to the effects of the weather

Excellent resistance to pressure and accidental pressures surges

1.2 Types of Installations

Coestilen is designed for drainage inside domestic and industrial buildings and for the following fields of application:

Drainage of sanitary fixtures.

Drainage of washing machines
and dishwashers.
Extended drainage of waste
water (large kitchens, laundries,
industrial systems).
Drainage of aggressive fluids in
schools, laboratories and industrial buildings, according to ISO/
TR10358.
Medium and large-sized drain
manifolds.
Application conditions
Maximum temperature of the
fluids piped not under
vacuum: 95C.

Note: It cannot be used for piping drain water containing benzene or benzole (DIN 1986/3, 2.3).

2. Material properties
2.1 Introduction

Resistance to temperatures,
It does not break and does not buckle permanently
if water freezes in the pipes, within a temperature
range of 40C and +80C, allowing the handling
of peaks of up to 95C (Surges of steam).
Low thermal conductivity,
it does not tend to form condensate.
Resistance to mechanical stresses.
Coestilen is elastic enough to handle most
external stresses, impacts and deformations.
As long as several specific technical rules are
followed. Coestilen can be buried in concrete.
(sperficic details by request)
Smoothness and abrasion resistance,
thanks to the surface structure that prevents
deposits and incrustations from forming.
Resistance to chemical agents and to organic and
inorganic solvents. It is resistant to detergents and
acids used for unclogging sinks and WC.
Vibration-absorbent,
thanks to its flexibility and elasticity, it is able to
withstand small deformations without breaking
(for example, in the case of buildings settling).
Weld ability,
through a butt welding process or by arc melting.
Resistance to atmospheric agents,
due to the gas black it contains, which helps to
prevent the photo-oxygenation processes due to
the UV rays.

3.1 Linear Expansion
Like all materials Coestilen is subject to expansion and contraction in direct relation to changes of temperature.
COESTILEN expanse due to an increase of temperature, which correspond to lengthening of the pipes.
COESTILEN contracts due to an decrease of temperature, which results in a shorting of the pipes.
The changes of length are directly proportional to the temperature differential and is expressed by the following relation:
(the 0.18 coefficient is rounded up to 0.2 for ease of calculation)

The Linear expansion formula for COESTILEN can be more simply explained with the following example.
Expansion:
A installation with 10 meter length of pipe, with a
working maximum temperature of 80C, and a design
temperature of 20C

Contraction:
A installation with 10 meter length of pipe, with a
minimum working temperature of 5C, and a design
temperature of 20C

3. Design
3.2 Linear expansion compensation by change of direction
In order to prevent the pipes from being subjected to mechanical stresses (axial thrusts), they have to be able to change their
length freely.
This can be obtained by using systems that use the elasticity and flexure of several stretches of pipe direction changes.
Keeping this in mind the change of length is compensated by the elastic deformation to which several stretches of pipes
making up the system may be subjected.
This proves to be particularly advantageous when the geometric configuration of the system allows the elasticity of the
material to be used to full advantage by suitable positioning of the fixed points.

Step 1 Since our 10 meter pipe will be running hot

discharge, we will need to calculate the Linear
Expansion
L = L x t1 x
L = 10m x 60 C x 0.2
L = 120mm

Using the table on page 9. The Maximum L that can be compensated with a 110mm Expansion Sleeve is 80mm.
Due to this we will split the run in two and use two Expansion Sleeves to compensate the linear Expansion.

L = 60mm

L = 60mm

Step 2

Mark the correct insertion depth on the pipe

(witness mark), based on installation temperature.

Step 3

Lubricated the pipe end with suitable lubricating

material.
Do not use oil or grease which can damage the
rubber seal.

Step 4

Insert chamfered pipe into expansion sleeve up to

the witness mark.

3.4 Fixed points

3.4 - 1 Introduction

Fixed points and their execution :

Use of the devices described presumes that the changes of pipe length occur in a way compliant with what is envisaged
during the design stage. It is necessary that you rigidly restrain the ends of the stretches of pipes where you want to
compensate the change of length. This will foster movements in the direction of the foreseen compensation devices.

The Distance L and thrust force N must be taken in

account, when selecting the diameter of the rod (b) and the
distance between the anchor point and the pipe collar
Thrusts
The stresses the fixed points are subjected to are:
P = thrust exercised by the pipe
p = weight of the pipe and the liquid it contains
In the case of expansion sleeves, the thrust value is the
resistance offered by the sleeve to the flow of the pipe in its
housing.

3.4 - 3 Expansion Joints Fixed Points

Thrusts
The stresses the fixed points are subjected to are:
P = thrust exercised by the pipe
p = weight of the pipe and the liquid it contains

In the case of expansion joints, it is the resistance

offered by the stretch of pipe subjected to elastic
deformation and can be found form relations of this
type:

P = n x L x Ej/H3
Page 11

Expansion direction

The restraints are the fixed points of the system.

Their selection and arrangement must take into account some construction features of the system. Be aware of the probable
existence of structural conditions such as branches and crossing through structures, etc., which may themselves constitute a
fixed point.
Fixed Point

3. Design
3.5 Sliding points
Fixed points must divide the pipe into streches in which contraction or expansion is possible. However without ever
releasing the expansion force on the clips or fittings. Sliding points are used to guide streches of pipe between compansation
devices. The distance between the sliding points, primarily depends if the installation is Horizontal or Vertical.

4.1 Introduction

4.1 - 1 General

The Electro Fusion machine works on a simple principle.

An adequately sized electric resistance is built into the body of the sleeve coupling which can connect the fitting to
the electro fusion machine by means of terminal pins.
To perform the weld it is only necessary to connect the terminal pins to the machine and press the Start button.
The current flowing through the resistance (coupling) will develop enough heat to create an excellent fusion
between the sleeve and the pipe.

4.2 Preparation
4.2 - 1 Welders Technical Features

AT131S electro fusion machine is suitable for

welding COES electrical couplers in Polyethylene
(PE) from 50 to 160mm
The AT131S welding machines structure is
lightweight, so it is extremely easy to carry
around. It is distinguished by the automatic
setting of the welding parameters, by the selfcompensation of the current supplied (according
to the ambient temperature) and by the selfdiagnosis, in the event of any malfunction that
could occur before or during welding.
The machine features cables with pins, a
transport bag and a manual scraper, most
useful to remove the layer of oxidation from the
pipe (which could undermine the good result of
the welding).

UT1103 electro fusion machine is suitable for

welding COES electrical couplers in HDPE from
50 mm to 315 mm and PPR couplings from 20
mm to 63 mm in PN 25.
The UT1103 is made in compliance with the
current safety standards and Directives. This
welding machines structure is lightweight, so it
is extremely easy to carry around. It is controlled
by a microprocessor that allows the recognition of
three different types of cable with pins, identified
by a code (written on each one of them), which
the operator can confirm by looking at the display.
The main features include self-compensation of
the current supplied (according to the ambient
temperature) and self-diagnosis of any malfunction
that could occur before or during welding.
The machine features a transport bag and a manual
scraper, most useful to remove the layer of oxidation
from the pipe (which could undermine the good
result of the welding).

4. Electro Fusion Welding

4.3 Electro Fusion Welding Procedure

Step 1
Cut Square to centre
line of pipe.
Concentric, i.e., not
oval.

Step 2
Scrape external pipe ends
for a distance approx. 2/3
of the socket length (refer
to E/F socket depth), to
ensure removal of thin
oxidized outer layer, using
an appropriate tool. Pipe
surface should appear
duller in the scraped area.

Step 5
Referring to Socket
depth table, mark
witness mark on pipe

Step 6
Check to make sure
that coupling has not
been damaged.

Step 9
Press the Start
button on the front of
the welder.

Step 10
The welding process
is now automatic and
once complete will be
signalled by the control
box with a visible light

Step 3
Remove burr from
end of pipe

4.3 - 1 AT131S

Step 4
Clean external
surfaces of pipe ends
with alcohol wipes

Step 7
Clean internal surface of E/F
coupling with recommended
cleaner

Step 8
Attach cables from
E/F AT131S to the
socket terminals.

Step 11
A successful weld
is determined
when the indicator
points on the
socket, adjacent to
the terminals, are
clearly visible near
the surface

Step 12
Once the weld
cycle has
commenced, under
no circumstances,
should the electrofusion coupling be
re-used in the event
of a faulty weld.

Disconnect leads from the socket and allow complete cooling before connecting to hydraulic services.

5. Butt Welding
5.3 Butt Welding Procedure
5.3 - 1 AT103S
Step 1. Place the Coestilen pipe and/or fitting in the right side clamp, ensuring correct alignment. Place Coestilen
pipe and/or fitting in left side clamp. When using cut pipe ensure ends are reasonably square and burr-free.

Step 2. Operate the hand lever and move the components together to check end-to-end alignment. If misaligned
loosen one clamp, rotate the component, say, 10 - 20, re-check alignment and then re-tighten the clamp. Retract
the components.

Step 3. Lower the planing tool between the 2 components and with the hand lever, move the carriage up to
the planing face, simultaneously switching on the planer. Maintaining pressure on the planing face with the
components, plane until a continuous ribbon of HDPE is produced from both sides of the planer. Before
switching off the planer retract the carriage with the hand lever.

5.3 Butt Welding Procedure
Step 4. Lift the planer from between the components and lower the heater plate into position. Operating the hand
lever move the carriage and bring the components in contact with the heater plate. Apply the heating pressure
(F1), using the pressure measurement gauge on the front face of the machine as a reference, until the required
bead height (B) is achieved.

Step 5. Release the pressure and with the components remaining in contact with the heater plate, allow the heat
soak time to elapse. (F1)

Step 6. At the end of heat soak operate the hand lever to retract the components and lift the heater plate from
position. Quickly reverse the direction of the carriage and bring the heated components together, applying the
applicable weld pressure (F1) and tighten the carriage lock nut. Refer welding chart below, for weld pressure.

Step 8. Allow the weld joint to cool (T2), then loosen the carriage lock nut and remove components from the
machine.
