Water Hammer
Water hammer is a series of pressure pulsations, of varying magnitude, above and below the normal pressure of the liquid
in the pipe. The amplitude and periodicity depends on the extinguished velocity of the liquid, as well as the size, length and
material of the pipeline. Shock results from these pulsations when any liquid, flowing with a certain velocity, is stopped in
a short period of time. The pressure increase, when flow is stopped, is independent of the working pressure of the system.
The surge pressure in any pipeline occurs when the total discharge is stopped in a period of time, equal to or less than the
time required for the induced pressure wave to travel from the point of valve closure to the inlet end of the line and return.
This time is:
t = 2L
a
where:
t = Time for pressure wave to travel the length of the pipe
and return (sec.)
L = Length of pipe line (m)
a = Velocity of pressure wave (m/sec)
When the liquid in the pipe is water, the velocity of the pressure wave a is determined by the following equation:
1440
a=
1 + 2.11 x 108 x d
Ee
where:
a = Velocity of pressure wave (m/sec.)
d = Inside diameter of pipe (m)
e = Thickness of pipe wall (m)
E = Short term modulus of elasticity of pipe material (kg/m2)
The surge pressure caused by water hammer is determined by the following equation:
P= 1000 x aV
g
Where:
p = Surge pressure (kg/m2)
a = Velocity of pressure wave (m/sec)
V = Velocity of water stopped = line velocity (m/sec)
g = Acceleration caused by gravity (9.81 m/sec2)
Pressure caused by water hammer can be minimized by increasing closure times of valves to a value greater than 2L/a. For
example, when the closure time is 10 times 2L/a, the pressure can surge to the range of 10%20% of the surge caused by
closure in a time equal to or less than 2L/a.
The value of the short-term modulus of elasticity E for Pexgol pipes is much lower than the value of E for steel pipes, concrete
pipes or HDPE pipes. Since the velocity a of the pressure wave is related to the short-term modulus of elasticity E, the
velocity a decreases when the value of E is lower.

In order to determine the resistance of the pipe material to the water hammer phenomenon, the total occurring pressure
(surge pressure + working pressure) should be calculated and compared to the max. allowable total occurring pressure in
each pipe material .
The resistance of HDPE pipes depends on the nature of the water hammer. In case of recurring water hammer shockwaves,
HDPE pipes are limited to a max. total occasional pressure of only 1.5 times the working pressure.
Because of the flexibility and resilience of Pexgol pipes, the surge pressures caused by the water hammer are much reduced.
Therefore, a Pexgol pipe can withstand a total transient pressure (recurring or occasional surge pressure + working pressure)
up to 2.5 times the design pressure in the relevant temperature.
The following examples show the pressure surges caused by the water hammer for various pipes which are considered
for the same application . In all following examples:
The line is horizontal; line length is 3200 m.
The flow rate is 150 cubic meters per hour, head losses are 5%. The design pressure is 16 bar.

Conclusions:
1. The surge pressure caused by the water hammer in steel pipes is at least three times higher than the surge pressure in
Pexgol pipes.
2. The surge pressure caused by the water hammer in HDPE pipes could sometimes be too high.
3. Pexgol pipes have a high margin for surge pressures in all temp. range and pipe classes.
The expression for a = the velocity of pressure wave is a function of the short term Modulus E and the dimension ratio d/e
which is the same for each pipe class : d/e= (D-2xe)/e =(D/e)-2= SDR-2
It is possible to calculate the values for a for each pipe class.
In the following table, the values of the pressure velocity a were calculated for the following design temperatures:
20C for buried pipes
40C for above ground pipes at ambient temp of 20C
60C for Above ground pipes at ambient temp of 40C
The values of P were calculated for line velocity of 1.0 m/sec.
The table shows the low surge pressures expected in Pexgol pipes.
Please note the surge pressure P is in direct linear relation to the value of the line velocity V.
Therefore, values for different surge pressures for the same pipe class can be calculated by changing the values of the Line
velocity V.
For water density higher than 1.0 , divide the value of the Velocity of the pressure wave a (taken from table 32.1 ) by the
square root of the actual water density.

Main Working Instructions
Rounding the pipe
For a quality fusion and for easy insertion, rounding the pipe is compulsory. This is achieved by using rounding tools which
are placed on the pipe end. The tools maintain a rounded pipe during the welding process.
Support of the fitting during the welding process:
When welding pipes in diameters 90 mm and higher, the pipe should be inserted into the fitting by means of spanners
(come-alongs) which allow controlled insertion and ensure the coupler does not move during the welding process.
Cooling time :
Please note the cooling time that appears on a sticker on each fitting.
Do not disassemble spanners and rounding devices until the cooling time has elapsed.
A good practice: when the fusion process is completed, note the hour and add the cooling time. The result is the disassemble
time. Mark this time on the fitting and do not disassemble it earlier than this time!
Pexgol electrofusion fittings are allowed for use at the following temperatures:
IIn case of higher pressures please consult the Pexgol Field Service.
Working instructions:
1. Preparing the fittings for welding: Preparation and welding can be conducted at ambient temp. If the weather is windy
(with dust) or rain or other sources of humidity, the welding area should be protected by a cover or welding should be
halted until the weather conditions are suitable.
2. Preparation (cleaning and scrubbing) must be done close to the welding time. Do not prepare pipes and fittings for weld-
ing if you plan to weld at a later stage.
3. Scraping and peeling of the pipe: universal or hand scraper must be in perfect working condition with a sharp blade.
The blade in the universal scraper should be replaced when no longer sharp. The blade of the hand scraper should be
sharpened from time to time using a fine iron file.

Electrofusion Welding
a. Marking the pipe for cutting
The pipe must be free of dirt and dust.
1. Use a plastic marking tape long enough to go around the
pipe circumference.
2. Mark the welding location around the pipe with a marker .
d. Pipe Preparation
1. The pipe must be marked to prepare insertion of the fitting.
2. Move the rounding device until the marking of the full
insertion.
3. It is absolutely necessary to clean entire welding surface. This
is performed with a special cleaning solution of 95% ethanol
( or equivalent) and new clean paper wipers to ensure that no
fibers are left on the surface.
| 47
e. Installing the fitting onto the pipe
1. Remove the fitting from its original packaging, only when you
are ready to start the welding process. Clean the inner side of
the fitting with the special cleaning solution. Clean the pipe
surface again.
2. Install the fitting onto the prepared pipe and make sure that
the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting up to the end. The
fitting should fit easily into the pipe
g. Welding
Please follow carefully installation instructions for the electro
fusion control box.
h. Cooling time
1. At the end of the fusion carefully remove the black and red
terminals from the fitting.
2. The correct cooling time is shown on the barcode label on
each fitting. Mark on the coupler the exact hour when the
coupler can be removed (adding the correct cooling time to
the exact hour when the fusion was completed).
3. Dismantle the clamps and rounding equipment only at the
end of the cooling time.
Note:
Since pressure testing requires lower temperatures of the joint,
we recommend waiting twice the cooling time after fusion before
pressurizing the pipe and waiting 3 times the cooling time after fusion
before beginning pressure testing.

Welding of Saddles
a. Pipe must be marked
The pipe must be free of dirt and dust.
1. Place the lower part of the saddle on the place intended for fusion, mark the
location of the outlet by marking a line all around the pipe .Use the lower part of
the saddle for marking in order to avoid dirtying the upper part prior to welding.
2. Mark 3 lines on each side of the line at a distance of 30 mm from each other.
1. Remove the lower part and scrape the marked area with a manual scraper until
all lines are scraped (except for the center line).
Note:
1. The manual scraper should be very sharp! Sharpen it by rotating the knife
from time to time (4 positions) and by sharpening it with a fine iron file.
2. Use a manual scraper and scrape using two hands to achieve best results.
Note: The hole should be drilled only after the welding is completed!
c. Welding
Please follow carefully installation instructions of the welding device.
1. Connect the terminals from the generator to the saddle red to red, black to
black.
2. Operate the generator and start welding process.

Connecting Pexgol Pipes with Flared Ends
The flared-end connection is suitable for both hot and cold media. Special Fixpoint clamps should be used before and after the
flared ends (see pages 35, 70). Flange material is carbon steel A37. Other carbon steel or stainless steel grades can be ordered.
In case of sub zero temperatures, special restraining techniques should be employed to prevent pulling out of the flared end from
the flanges.
No gasket is needed when connecting two Pexgol pipes with flared ends and flanges or when connecting a pexgol pipe with a
flared end to a flanged fitting!
.Tighten the bolts evenly around the flange until all the bolts are all tight.
If torque wrenches are applied , use the recommended values in the following table. Tighten the bolts evenly using 75% of the
recommended torque values and then tighten to the final value.
No retorquing is necessary in the flared ends of Pexgol pipes!

The Pexgol pipes tendency to snake is reduced by
putting bars on both sides of the pipe to limit sideward
deflection. Alternatively, using guiding clamps (GC), which
are conventional clamps (FPC) without the internal gripping
teeth, is recommended. The pipe can freely slide through in
the axial direction but not sidewards.

Fix point bridge
Pullout protection of end couplings and other fittings
To ensure the pull-out resistance of certain fittings, do not lay the pipe perfectly straight, but rather with some surplus length
(slack). In case of short pipes (up to about 10 meters), or in case of installations on pipe bridges (where it might be difficult to
leave slack in the pipe), there should be a Pull-out protection device such as a fixpoint clamp before and after every fitting.
This applies to some of the fittings; depending on the application. Design Guidelines. If the pipe is installed in a an inclined
or a vertical position (for example in dewatering applications) and common fixpoint clamps cannot be used, the fitting should
be protected by a floating fixpoint device such as a fixpoint bridge.

Supplemental Information
Transportation of Pexgol Pipes
An outstanding feature of the Pexgol pipe is its flexibility, due to the cross-linked structure. This structure enables the pipe
to return to its original diameter after transportation on relatively small drums or in coils. As a result, Golan is able to supply
longer lengths of pipe, compared to other suppliers and types of pipes. Pexgol pipes can be shipped in coils, drums, and
straight sections.
Coils
Pexgol pipes from diameters 25 mm to 160 mm are available in
standard coils of 50 or 100 meters. Longer pipe lengths are
available in coils according to customer specifications.
