Typical application of ABS Piping:
a. Portable water
b. Chilled water
c. Condensate water
d. Demineralised water
e. Waste water
f. Sewage water
g. Vacuum system
h. Industrial chemical dosing/ transport

2.2 ADVANTAGE OF ABS PIPING SYSTEM B. IMPACT STRENGTH

A. ENVIRONMENTAL ADVANTAGE
The use of ABS contributes positively to the environment as
compared to metal products. This has direct savings in green
house gas emissions.
It takes approximately one sixth of the energy to manufacture
Additionally ABS is lead and chlorine free and can be readily
recycled.
The butadiene constituent in ABS affords unrivalled resistance
to impact. This means that DURAFLO ABS Piping Systems
may be used in more critical applications where other types
of plastics could not be considered.
C. CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
DURAFLO ABS is unaffected by both internal and
external chemical attack by a wide range of acids, alkalis,
ground water salts and other environmental factors.

D. ABRASION RESISTANCE
DURAFLO ABS offers outstanding resistance to abrasion
and erosion from aggressive slurries, which can rapidly
damage steel or other traditional pipe materials.

E. WEATHER RESISTANCE
DURAFLO ABS is one of the most weather resistant polymers
available today. Successful field tests have been completed on
piping systems having been exposed to weathering for over 30 years.
Consult Euratech for track records over 30 years.

 ABS Pipe Systems
F. NON-TOXIC/TAINT FREE
The ABS formulation contains no harmful metallic stabilizers
and it has been widely used for many years in piping systems
for high purity water, medical preparations, food products and
soft drinks.
DURAFLO ABS system is ideal for portable cold water. It
conforms to World Health Organisation, E.E.C. and AS 4020
requirements for potable water reticulation.
I. TEMPERATURE RANGE
A great advantage of DURAFLO ABS over other plastic
systems is its ability to perform over a wide temperature
range from -30C to +60C. This makes DURAFLO ABS

3.1 INTRODUCTION
Because of a unique balance of properties, modern ABS
copolymers are being used on an ever increasing scale for the
manufacture of many industrial and domestic products.
The material is very tough and resilient, has high impact
strength, good chemical resistance and is non toxic and taint
free. These advantageous properties have attracted engineers
in many industries to the use of ABS piping systems rather
than traditional materials, which do not have these distinctive

3.2 THE MATERIAL
Acrylonitrile - Butadiene - Styrene (ABS) is a family of
engineering thermoplastics with a broad range of performance
characteristics.
ABS is a copolymers of styrene and acrylonitrile grafted to
polybutadiene in a batch process. The chemical resistance of
acrylonitrile added to the impact strength of butadiene, combined
with the processing properties of styrene, produce and homogeneous
material with chemical resistance, ductility and high tensile strength.
ACRYLONITRILE - imparts chemical resistance and rigidity.
BUTADIENE - endows the product with impact strength,
toughness and abrasion resistance.
STYRENE - contributes to the lustre, ease of processing and
rigidity.

3.4 IMPACT STRENGTH
ABS is a relatively ductile thermoplastic, which exhibits very
high impact strength compared to other thermoplastics such
as uPVC particularly at low temperatures. It is for this reason
ABS is used in demanding applications requiring exceptionally
high impact strength material such as construction site safety
helmets.
As part of the Eurapipe Quality Assurance programme, sample
OHQJWKVRISLSHDUHURXWLQHO\LPSDFWWHVWHGDW&DVUHTXLUHG
by AS/ NZS 3518:2004.
ABS is unique in retaining high levels of impact strength at sub
zero temperatures and is signicantly superior to most other
3 thermoplastics used in pipe systems.
The graph shows the relatively small reduction in impact
strength of ABS between 20C and 0C compared with
another thermoplastic pipe systems.

3.5 MODE OF FAILURE

ABS is a relatively ductile material and the mode of failure

resembles that of soft copper. Failure is by ductile distortion
and tearing, the localised nature minimising the loss of pipe
contents.
In contrast, crack propagation and hazardous material
fragmentation accompany the failure of brittle material.

EURAPIPE DURAFLO 8
 ABS Material
3.7 TOXICITY AND TAINT
ABS is free from heavy metal stabilisers such as lead which are
often used in the processing of other thermoplastic materials.
Therefore, there is no possibility of any toxic heavy metals
substances being leached from the ABS pipe material into the
XLGEHLQJFRQYH\HGE\WKHSLSH.
Eurapipe ABS conforms to AS4020 and has been safely used
for many years with potable water, grade I distilled water
for medical use, renal dialysis uid and many foods and
beverages.
ABS is regarded as taint free and has been used for conveying
potable water, beer, soft drinks, caramel, wines, sauces,
chocolate, custard cream and other similar products. It is
recommended that food and drink manufacturers test for taste

temperature range -30C to +60C.
With increased temperature, pipe rigidity decreases thus
necessitating more frequent support.

3.6 THERMAL EXPANSION

All thermoplastics expand at a greater rate than metals as
shown in the diagram above.
Expansion need not cause undue concern in design or
installation of an ABS piping system provided that due
recognition is taken at the design stage. 7KHUHGXFHGH[XUDO

3.9 WEATHERING
Eurapipe ABS piping systems are suitable for external
installation under extreme conditions without additional surface
protection.
When ABS products are exposed to the weather, they will
suffer some minor degradation of the exposed surface. The
degradation results in a reduction of surface gloss, and shift in
surface colour to light grey. 7KHGHJUDGDWLRQLVFRQQHGWRWKH

and stainless steel pipes previously employed.
The chemical resistance of ABS combined with impact
resistance makes it an ideal choice for such corrosive and
erosive environments.
It is these conditions which lead to reduced life of metal pipe
systems.
The rubber-like butadiene phase in ABS provides this piping
material with outstanding resistance to abrasive media.

the suitability of ABS pipe for slurry or abrasive applications.

The effect of the combination of chemicals on the ABS
components has to be assessed in conjunction with other
factors that have a signicant impact upon the lifecycle of the
system i.e. temperature, internal pressure, exural stresses,

4.1 INTRODUCTION
Thermoplastic pressure piping systems show considerable
cost savings compared with traditional materials, particularly
when chemical resistance, external coating, internal lining,
resilience and installation time is taken into account.
The modern engineer sees the many advantages that ABS
systems bring to the end user. In applying design principles

4.2 SYSTEM SELECTION CRITERIA

A basic process specication for the piping system should be
engineered. In many cases this can be a very informal study,
but where the application of service is of a more critical nature,
this should involve some careful research into the exact or
anticipated process conditions.
Some points to be considered are:
Operating temperature and pressure
Composition of media
Support system design
Design to accommodate thermal expansion
External conditions
Media velocity/ flow rate
Water hammering

4.4 PIPE DESIGN CRITERIA
Eurapipes pipe design is in accordance with the requirements
set out in AS/ NZS 3518: 2004.
Design Factor of Safety (F)
This factor is applied to the minimum ultimate strength of
material to establish safe (conservative) working loads.
; Minimum Required Strength (MRS)
Eurapipe has designed its standard range of pipes using a
minimum design safety factor of 1.6. This degree of safety
margin in the design of pipes means that the standard
DURAFLO range of pipes are suitable for application in
critical services such as permanent urban water supply
applications and where high security is required for the
transport of hazardous chemicals.
Design Basis
This is a period, usually a minimum of 50 years accord-
ing to convention, which is used to determine the long term
4 hydrostatic strength of ABS pipe. Obviously, this does not
mean that the pipe will fail.
Hydrostatic Design Stress
This hydrostatic design stress (HDS) is the minimum required
strength (MRS) divided by the Design Safety Factor. For the
minimum design safety of 1.6 used in the DURAFLO pipe
range, the maximum HDS of 10 MPa is used.

wall material can support for a specied time. This value
is calculated using the statistical procedures detailed in the
standard extrapolation method of ISO/TR 9080.
This is the minimum value of LCL for a temperature of 20C
and for the conventional period of 50 years. The ABS material
used to manufacture DURAFLO has an MRS of 16MPa.
PN Value
This is the nominal working pressure at 20C, in bar
(10 bar = 1 MPa).
Stress Regression
At a constant temperature the time to failure due to stress of a
thermoplastic pipe is inversely proportional to the magnitude
of the stress. By conducting a series of burst tests on ABS
material at different stress levels, a graph of stress versus time
to fracture can be plotted. This is always shown as a log-log
plot and is known as the Stress Regression Characteristic
for the pipe. It is representing a possible life for the pipe
manufactured from the selected ABS raw material compound.

4.5 PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE DERATING
All thermoplastic piping system pressure ratings apply at the
standard mid-wall temperature of 20C. Where systems are
required to operate at higher continuous mid-wall temperatures,
pressure ratings must be adjusted in accordance with the
following graph. The pressure values from 10 C XSWR&

The variation in pipe wall temperature can be calculated as :

of the ambient temperature from 10 to 40 .
TL = 30C -20C = 10C

Where space does not permit a exible route, or the use of
expansion loops, rubber bellows should be considered.

4.12 RUBBER BELLOWS

Rubber bellows are able to accommodate angular, lateral
and small axial movements as shown below. Bellows should
be located in adjacent pipe legs to benet from the lateral
movement. Bellows in pressure service should be tied to
prevent excessive forces being applied to anchors, nozzles or
structures. Tandem bellows can be used to meet large thermal
movements. Guide to expansion unit selection

4.14 PIPE SUPPORT
The basic principle of correct pipe supporting is to allow
controlled axial movement of the pipe while providing lateral
restraint and adequate support for the pipe.
The hanger type support does not provide lateral restraint to
the pipe and therefore encourages snaking and so should
be avoided except where located adjacent to the changes in
GLUHFWLRQZKHUHH[LELOLW\PD\EHUHTXLUHG
Thus pipe supports should:

4.16 PIPE ANCHORS
Pipe anchors should be provided in systems where thermal
expansion occurs.
Anchors ensure that pipe movement occurs in a controlled and
predictable manner.
In addition, pipe anchors will absorb axial pipe pressure thrust
in those systems tted with expansion joints.

Anchor points located at mid length of a straight section
need not be as robust as those associated with expansion
compensators which must be able to withstand the total
pressure thrust plus frictional resistance to movement. 4
Note: Under no circumstances should a tightened pipe clip be
used as an anchor.
The action of tightening the clip imposes a crushing load on
the pipe which may damage the pipe and affect its structural
stability.

c Do not sling from the middle of the pipe.
d Spreader bars may be necessary to prevent slings
slipping during lifts.
f Pipe packs and individual pipes can be lifted by
forklift or by using slings in conjunction with a crane or other
lifting device such as a backhoe or other suitable equipment.
g Lengths in excess of 6 metres must be lifted from
two points at least 3 metres apart. This can be achieved by
using a forklift with wide tynes or by using slings and spreader
bar at least 3 metres long.
h If mechanical lifting equipment is not available, large

down.
i Smaller diameter pipes can be lifted and carried
manually.

5 j Pipes shall be stored in the packs supplied.

k Packs shall be stored on level ground free from
stones or projections, which could damage the pipe.
l For short term, storage packs can be stacked to a

Cold solvent cement welded sockets (SWJ/SWJ)

Cold solvent cement welded sockets are the quickest, most
economical joining method for ABS pipes and plain ended
WWLQJVDQGDUHDYDLODEOHIRUDOOSLSHVL]HV 5
Cold solvent cement welding eliminates the need for thrust
blocks as the longitudinal stress is taken in the pipe wall.
This type of joint is permanent and cannot be disassembled.

Cementing ABS to PVC

The cementing of these two dissimilar materials is not
recommended.
A Rubber Ring socket or a mechanical connection such as a
WKUHDGHGFRQQHFWLRQRUDDQJHLVUHFRPPHQGHGZKHUHVXFK
joints are necessary.

Branch connections
The preferred branch connection is by use of tees.
Tapping saddles, which permit branch connections to be made
without removing a section of the main pipe are useful where
additions are required to an existing installation.
Contact Euratech for further details regarding the use and
installation of ABS tapping saddles.

The bottom of the trench shall be even and stable and
prepared in accordance with the prescribed pipeline gradient
and depth.
A bedding layer of a minimum thickness as determined by the
code shall be laid in the bottom of the trench.
Ensure that the bedding is free from hard objects or sharp
projections.
The bedding shall be graded to continuously support the pipe.
The bedding shall be compacted according to the required

-RLQLQJDERYHJURXQGDQGsnaking into the trench is suitable
for solvent cement welded pipes in sizes up to 200NB.
With this method, the pipes are joined together in a continuous
length of several hundred metres alongside the trench.
Care must be taken not to strain the pipe or pipe joints.
If this method is to be considered, refer to Eurapipe.
EURAPIPE DURAFLO 45
Joining in trench
This method is appropriate for all joining methods and for all
sizes of pipe.
The pipes shall be laid in the trench so that the socketed end
of the pipe is facing in the direction of laying.
The next pipe is then placed in the trench and inserted into the
socket.
Pipes can be supplied with one joining socket tted to one end
and the other end chamfered. Where this is not the case, or
the pipe is cut to a specic length, a chamfer shall be formed
(see procedure for cutting) and a socket shall be welded to
one end of the pipe above ground before laying in trench.
Where it is necessary to t a joining socket to a pipe in a
trench, the trench will need to have sufcient room around the
end of the pipe to perform joining.
When solvent cement welding in trenches, ensure that any
spillage of solvent cement or MEK is completely removed
immediately.
Thrust blocks
Thrust blocks are not required for solvent cement jointed
buried pipelines at changes of direction, terminations, changes
in pipe diameter or tees.
Thrust blocks may be required where elastomeric seal joints,
valves or other equipment is positioned in the pipeline and are
not independently supported.

5.11 REPAIR OF DAMAGED PIPES

Above ground
For above ground repairs, the recommended method is to
remove the damaged section of pipe and replace with a new
section.
Sockets, anges, socket unions, or shoulder style joints are all
suitable methods to rejoin the pipe. Metal couplings are also
suitable where pipe has adequate restraint against axial thrust. TEE OFF-TAKE LEAK

Preparation and removing the damaged section
Note: All dimensions in this section are for pipe DN 500. The
repair kits, which are available for all sizes, contain detailed
method and procedure. Please contact Eurapipe for other
sizes.
The length of the trench should be extended by 2 metres at
each end from where the damaged section is to be removed;
WKLVLVWRDOORZVXIFLHQWSLSHOHQJWKIRUDWWDFKLQJWKH $%655-
slip couplings and Thrust Restraint Collars (if needed).
Cut out the damaged section using the tungsten tipped circular
saw.
It will be necessary to remove a minimum pipe length of
1200 mm to effect the correct installation of the $%655-VOLS
coupling.
Inspect the existing pipe for surface defects, which may affect
performance of the rubber rings. Ensure the pipe is free of any
dirt and debris and clean the surface using rags dampened
with water. Do not use the MEK cleaner.
The following chamfers need to be applied (approximate only):
-On the existing pipe, a chamfer of 15 x 15mm back
along the pipe.
-On the new section, a chamfer of 15 x 30mm back
5 along the pipe.
Measure the old section of pipe that has been removed and
cut the new section to be installed 100 mm shorter, this is to
ensure there is no interference of the new and existing pipe
sections and for ease of installation.
