RCprotect®
PRODUCTS
DESCRIPTION
For an open trench installation without sand backfill
Gerodur RCprotect® pipes are of the co-extruded solid type made of PE 100 RC (resistance to crack) with a dimensionally integrated colored outer layer.
RCprotect® pipes withstand, in particular, the consequences of the concentrated loads that may occur after a longer period when no sand backfill is placed. The targeted use of advanced material properties – resistance to slow crack growth – offers the certainty of meeting all requirements for up-to-date and economical pipe laying.
RCprotect® pipes comply with type 2 acc. to PAS 1075 classification, and are certified on the basis of the PAS 1075 through DIN CERTCO and fulfill the requirements with regards to permanent raw material and extruded piping quality tests.
PAS 1075
PAS = "publicly available specification"
The "PAS 1075 - Pipes made from polyethylene for alternative installation techniques - Dimensions, technical requirements and testing" serves as a complement to existing standards and work regulations (e.g. DIN EN 12201, DIN EN 1555). The PAS 1075 describes the technical application and tests of pipelaying in trench without sand backfill and trenchless pipelaying.
Pipe classification acc. to PAS 1075:
Type 1: Single-layer solid wall pipe made of PE 100-RC to DIN 8074; the whole pipe wall is made of PE 100-RC Type 2: Double and triple-layer pipes with dimensionally integrated layers made of PE 100-RC Type 3: Pipes made of PE 100-RC with dimensions in accordance with DIN 8074 with additional protective jacket made of modified PP
