|
|
The factory-insulated bonded pipe system for underground hot water networks laid directly in the ground is suitable for a maximum continuous operating temperature of 144°C with a lifetime of 30 years. Constantly high quality is achieved because the pipes and preformed parts are produced on the very latest computer-controlled high-pressure dosing machines.

HDPE jacket pipe
|
|
Seamless polyethylene HD pipe produced by extrusion, to DIN 8075, characteristics and dimensions as per EN 253 or AGFW FW 401, with Corona treatment to ensure a rigid (non-positive) and permanent connection with the hard PUR foam. Breaking resistance is guaranteed down to -50°C. This material corresponds to building material class B 2 (normally inflammable) as per DIN 4102-1.

Pipe network monitoring
|
German Pipe’s monitoring method for pipes is based on the sound and reliable European Monitoring System (EMS).
Two parallel copper wires foamed into the preinsulated pipes make it easy to monitor penetration by moisture and wire breakage. The sensor wires are non-insulated copper wires with a cross-section of 1.5 mm2, and one wire is tinned to differentiate the wires by color.
All the components listed below can be supplied with foamed-in ’German Pipe’ pipe network monitoring wires. Other monitoring systems that are commonly available on the market such as Brandes, HDW and AB- Isotronic may be supplied to order.
