How do the operating conditions influence a pressure system?
The influence of pressure and temperature fluctuations depends on the individual system. A general distinction in the classification of plastic pipe systems is based on the method of installation. In general, there are three main groups: – Group 1 consists of pipe systems with and without linear compensation. These systems require a bracket construction and are predominantly found in chemical or sewage plants, as well as in swimming pool construction. They generally require the largest project outlays. – Group 2 pipe installations are exemplified by the parts of a communal water supply network. They are, however, also frequently used in the area of industrial wastewater technology. Due to the flexibility of PE pipes, the costs of groundwork are lower than laying steel, ductile iron or concrete pipes. PE also has distinctive advantages over less flexible plastic pipes (such as PVC). – Group 3 pipe systems constitute exceptional cases, especially as the accessibility for maintenance is l
