Sangio Pipe is a manufacturer and supplier of High and Low Density Polyethylene and Polypropylene extruded pipe. Our products enjoy widespread acceptance in Civil Engineering, Agricultural, Mining and Domestic applications. Sangio Pipe is one of only 3 manufacturers countrywide who have been awarded SABS accreditation for PE 100 pipe. There are even fewer who are able to provide the coextruded colour identification stripes in their product. These are two stripes set 45o apart along the entire length of the pipe and colour coded to indicate pipe type. This highly identifiable marking is a clear statement of total confidence in our product and is also of direct benefit to contractors. Selection of pipes for loading in a yard, or inspection of pipe in situ before trenches are closed, are made considerably easier by means of this colour identification. Our SABS/ISO accredited pipes are manufactured at our Cato Ridge factory near Durban and we provide a countrywide delivery service through our competent sales and distribution network. Sangio Pipe employs in excess of 80 staff, predominantly from previously disadvantaged backgrounds and we are committed to providing training and upliftment for our staff.

Aquaflow HDPE Pressure Pipe Systems

High density polyethylene pipe has been used extensively around the world since the 1950s.The unique properties of High density polyethylene pipe have offered an alternative to traditional material like steel and copper and also in non pressure applications where clay and fibre cement pipes were used . The material has been developed internationally from PE 80 to today's PE 100 material which has shown a saving of approximately 30% on the wall thickness from the early days of Polyethylene. This mass saving relates back to a cost saving and a better performance as the internal diameter of the pipe is bigger. In many cases, because of the excellent flow characteristics of Polyethylene, pipes could be down sized while still performing within the expected parameters. The pipes properties such as impact resistance and resistance to abrasion have made HDPE pipe the obvious choice in the Mining and Industrial markets. Piping made from polyethylene is a cost effective solution for a broad range of piping applications in the municipal, industrial, marine, mining, landfill, duct and agricultural industries. It has been tested and proven effective for above ground, surface, buried, slip-lined, floating and sub-surface marine applications. High-density polyethylene pipe (HDPE) can carry potable water, wastewater, slurries, chemicals, hazardous wastes, and compressed gases. In fact, polyethylene pipe has a long and distinguished history of service in the gas, oil, mining and other industries. It has the lowest repair frequency per kilometer of pipe per year compared with all other pressure pipe materials used for urban gas distribution. Polyethylene is a strong, extremely tough, very durable product which offers long service and trouble-free installation.

Characteristics of HDPE pipe

HDPE Material
Polyethylene pressure pipe systems offer many advantages when compared to traditional products, namely: Weather resistance in above ground applications Highly corrosion resistant Ease of handling and installation, exceptional toughness Excellent abrasion resistance Manufactured in long lengths and coils Manufactured to internationally accepted standards Service performance in excess of 50 years product can often be done by hand allowing ease of installation in confined spaces and difficult terrain.

High strength and flexibility

HDPE material has a high degree of impact resistance and is robust and ductile. Pipes can bend quite easily allowing for savings in design as less critical angle changes can be made without bends. HDPE pipe can be laid across uneven surfaces and in narrow trenches. Pipe can be joined outside of the trench before installation into the trench. The ability to absorb pressure surges makes the product superior to other plastic pipe materials. Even in sub zero temperatures HDPE can still perform to expectation.

Resistance to weather degradation

The high percentage of carbon black in the formulation of the pipe raw material enables HDPE pipe to resist degradation by ultraviolet rays. The pipe is impervious to rain and wind conditions.

Resistance to abrasion
Where very abrasive mediums have to be transported HDPE has proved itself to be the pipe product of choice. HDPE outperforms traditional pipe materials such as steel and steel with sacrificial layers (rubber lined steel). The product is used extensively in mine tailings and washing plants.

Chemical resistance
HDPE pipes are chemically inert but there are some chemicals which could affect the pipe. As the product is also not electrically conductive, reactions cannot take place within the pipe and affect its performance. HDPE has excellent corrosion resistance and is virtually inert so it does not need expensive cathodic protection. It offers better resistance to corrosive acids, bases and salts than most piping materials and also has good resistance to many organic substances such as solvents and fuels. Natural soil chemicals cannot degrade the pipe in any way.

Co-efficient of friction
The smooth internal surface of the pipe and the impermeability of HDPE allows a greater flow capacity and minimal friction loss. It has less drag and a lower tendency for turbulance at high velocity. Its superior chemical resistance and non-stick surface combines to eliminate scaling and pitting. This preserves the excellent hydraulic characteristics throughout the pipes service life. When designing pipelines, use the Hazen-Williams C factor of 150 and an n factor of 0.009, when using the Manning formula.

Ease of handling
Conventional materials are much heavier than HDPE and will require cranes and lifting gear. Handling of the

Specifications
The SABS 533 specification has been superceded in part by the adoption of the SABS ISO 4427 of 1996 for HDPE pipe systems. The following table shows which specifications are currently applicable for LDPE and HDPE pipe systems:
SANS 533:1982 and 1995
Part 1: LDPE Type I Part 2: HDPE Type IV Part 3: HDPE Type V -

4427

Notes:
The HDPE pipe dimensions and pressure classes in the SABS ISO 4427 specification remain unchanged when compared to the SABS 533: Parts 2 and 3 specification, except where calculated in terms of ISO 4065. The adoption of the ISO 4427 specification has resulted in the change of notation for HDPE piping from Types IV and V to PE 63 and 80. The 63, 80 and 100 refer to various grades of HDPE polymer and their design stresses. The SABS 533: Part 1 specification remains in force and is applicable to LDPE systems only.

PE 63 HDPE PE 80 HDPE PE 100 HDPE

Product range
HDPE PE 80 (Type V) is based on a design stress value of 6.3MPa, which results in the manufacturing of pipe with a thinner wall, and consequently greater ID than the PE 63 (Type IV) specification. This results in material savings and improved flow characteristics.
PE 63 (Type IV) Pressure classes Working pressures PN 3.2, 4, 6.3, 8, 10, 12.5 and 16 320, 400, 630, 800, 1000, 1250 & 1600 kPa Design stress 5.0 MPa PE 80 (Type V) PN 3.2, 4, 6.3, 8, 10, 12.5, 16 and 20 320, 400, 630, 800, 1000, 1250, 1600 & 2000 kPa 6.3 MPa PE 100 PN 4, 6.3, 8, 10, 12.5, 16, 20 and 25 400, 630, 800, 1000, 1250, 1600, 2000 & 2500 kPa 8.0 MPa

HDPE PE 100 pipe is based on a design stress value of 8.0MPa, which results in an even thinner pipe wall thickness than PE 80 pipe due to the higher grade of material.

Temperature/pressure derating
The rated working pressure of an HDPE pipe is determined at 20oC. Where the operating temperature of the fluid in the pipe exceeds 20oC, the pressure rating of the pipe has to be de-rated in order to maintain the designed safety factors of the pipe.

Codes of Practice
Handling
Pipes manufactured in HDPE are strong, durable and easy-to-handle. In common with most construction materials, they should nevertheless be handled with care to avoid damage being caused to the pipes.

Storage
Pipes should be stored on level, flat ground, free of stones or sharp protrusions. The height of the stacked pipe should not exceed 5 coils. Normal exposure to direct sunlight during the contract will not damage the pipe.

Cutting
Carefully cut the pipe ends square using a fine-toothed hand saw. Remove burrs and cutting debris.

Jointing
Compression fittings
Clean the pipe end, lightly lubricate both the interior of the fittings and the pipe end. Slacken the nut and insert the pipe fully into the fitting. Tighten the nut hand tight and a quarter turn with a strap wrench or nut spanner. NOTE: Do not overtighten. Overtightening may cause the assembly to leak.

Buttweld and Electrofusion fittings

Buttweld and electrofusion fittings have a separate set of jointing instructions. Ensure that you obtain and follow the specific information when you purchase them.
