About US
Introduction
The Raw Material
Established in 2008, Almona is a leading pipe manufacturing company in
Saudi Arabia. Certied to ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management Systems.
Almona is the rst choice for customers across Saudi Arabia, with a product
range from 20mm to 125mm pipes and its accessories. The pipes comply
with the Saudi (SASO) and German (DIN) Standard.
Almona success is the result of the companys persistent commitment to
continuous innovation and technology, with a relentless pursuit to provide
quality products and services.
Almona is a system of pipes and ttings made from Polypropylene Ran-
dom Copolymer (PPR-C), specially developed for the use and construction
of heating and water supply systems of the most widely varying forms, with
outstanding reliability over time.
One special feature of Almona system is the assembly technique, in which
the parts to be connected are welded by melting. After welding, the pipe
and tting from a single, continuous body, with none of the problems
which may derive from potential leakage points.
The assembly method, the wide range of sizes and the ttings available, the
versatility of the system and its excellent chemical and physical properties
make Almona a product of exceptional quality.
Almona system is made from PPR-C, a Random Copolymer Polypropylene
approved for the production of pipes according to DIN 8078 standards
(Polypropylene Pipes. General Quality Requirements - Tests).
The raw material is supplied in granules.
Before processing, the granule is submittet to specic tests in our labora-
tories to verify its suitability for use (ISO/R 1133 procedure 18. Melt index
MFI 190/5).
(PPR-C) is a thermoplastic resin which is transformed into the nished prod-
uct by a rise in temperature, which plasticizes the material, allowing the
pipe to be produced by means of extrusion, and the ttings by moulding.
These processes are carried out inside our factory, under the control of
skilled, qualied sta. The dimensions of the pipes and ttings, with the rel-
ative processing tolerances, are established in accordan-ce with DIN 8077
(Pipes in polypropylene, PP, dimensions).

Corrosion
Introduction
The materials high level of thermal insulation guarantees low heat loss on
the part of the uid transported. This means minimal drop in temperature
between the hot water production and delivery points, with consequent
energy saving.
The low thermal conductivity value also causes a drastic reduction in the
formation of condensation on the outside of the pipe, a frequent problem
on metal pipes in some temperature and humidity conditions.
Finally, it takes longer for the water to freeze when the outdoor tempera-
ture is particularly low.
Almona is chemically inert and highly resistant to a wide range of acids and
bases. This makes it suitable for contact with the materials normally used in
the construction sector, such as lime or cement, with no need for specic
protection.
For transport of/or contact with special substances, please refer to check
the chemical resistance of the polypropylene, consulting the table provid-
ed on page 39.
Almona has many characteristics which make it an ideal system for con-
structing modern plants at the technological state of the art.

WORKABILITY
Due to the materials high sound insulation value, the noise level of systems is
considerably reduced both with particularly high water ow speeds and when
water hammers are present.
(PPR-C Type 3), the raw material used for production of Almona system, is com-
pletely non-toxic and complies with current standards at international level.
Thanks to its high electrical insulating properties, Almona is unaected by stray
currents, which may create dangerous punctures in metal pipes. This phenom-
enon occurs above all in installations in zones with a high concentration of in-
dustrial facilities, close to railway lines and in other zones with a high concen-
tration of electrostatic currents.
Thanks to the particularly homogeneous, compact structure of the material,
achieved using a state of the art production technology, the inside surfaces of
Almona pipes and ttings are non porous and free from cracks or crazing. This
means the surfaces are extremely smooth, and loss of pressure are very low
(see graphs on page 17).
There is also no risk of pipe blockages caused by scale deposits.
Due to the density of just 0.898 g/cm3, pipes and ttings are very light. Com-
bined with the wide range of ttings available, this enables complete installa-
tions to be made easily and safely, with considerable time savings compared to
conventional products.

Almona + Aluminium Foil System
03 Chapter 03
Introduction
PROPERTIES
Alongside Almona normal PPR Pipes has also developed another system in
random copolymer polypropylene, under the trade mark of Almona STABI
Pipe.
This product is made from the same raw material as the basic line, which
is used to produce pipes bonded on the outside during extrusion with a
sheet of aluminium. This part is then given a further coating of a PP-R layer
by a co-extrusion process.
This surface layer protects the aluminium sheet from any degradation pro-
cesses which might aect it when in service.
As well as the characteristics already mentioned for the conventional sys-
tem, the composite pipe thus obtained oers a series of additional proper-
ties listed hereafter.

STRENGTH
The sheet of aluminium helps to keep the pipes thermal expansion coecient
low:

facilitating installations of the material outside walls or oors.
The composite pipe is very easily bent into shape, aiding installation with runs
with frequent changes in direction. Once bent as required, the pipe retains this
shape with no further changes.
The aluminium sheet and outer PP-R coating give Almona STABI pipe greater
shear strength, providing greater protection for the underlying pipe.

Fiting in PP-R for welding
PP-R fting with metal insert
Dimensional Characteristics
05 Chapter 05
FITTINGS Almona system comprises a wide range of ttings, which can be subdivid-
ed into two groups, depending on their intended use:
a) PP-R fttings for welding;
b) PP-R fttings with metal insert.
In the rst case, the joint between the pipe and the tting (and in some
cases between tting and tting) is made by melting the parts, while in the
second case one end of the tting has a threaded metal insert sunk into the
PP-R body. Parts of this kind are used in the ends of the system, allowing
connection to equipment installed previously, or any other threaded metal
elements.
For diagrams and availability of ttings in the various sizes, see pages

The main parameters aecting the behaviour of plastics are:
- mechanical stress = PRESSURE
- thermal stress = TEMPERATURE
- duration of stress = TIME
These parameters are linked together by means of the REGRESSION CURVES
of the material, shown in graph form below. Almona system pipes and ttings
must be used and installed in accordance with THESE parameters, i.e. without
exceeding the limit conditions for operation. It must be remembered that Al-
mona belongs to the PN20 operating class. For this class, the OPERATING CON-
DITIONS, obtained from the regression curves applying a safety coecient of
1.5, are the following:

LOSS OF
PRESSURE
The continuous
loss of pressure
Calculation of the loss of pressure is a fundamental step in the design of
heating and water supply systems. This parameter is closely linked to the
delivery rate of the system, meaning the amount of water which reaches
the individual users in the unit of time. Loss of pressure may be continuous
or localized. The sum of these two components provides the total loss of
pressure of the system.
Continuous loss of pressure are generated by the continuous resistances
which a uid encounters as it travels along a pipe. These consist of the in-
ternal frictions of the uid itself, due to viscosity, and those generated by
contact with the inside surface of the pipe.
Continuous headlosses are measured in pressure units (pascal, bar, metres
or millimetres of water column); in general, the measurement refers to a
unit length of pipe.
In the specic case of Almona and Almona STABI system pipes, the continu-
ous loss of pressure are determined by means of the graphs given on the
facing page (measured for water at 20C).

EXPANSION AND
STIRRUPS
Expansion
contraction in
Almona and
Almona STABI
system pipes
Each material which undergoes a variation in temperature over time reacts
by modifying its size to varying degrees.
This phenomenon is called thermal expansion; the body will increase in
volume when the temperature rises, or contract when it decreases.
Thermal expansion may be linear, supercial or cubic, depending on
whether it mainly aects one, two or all three of the bodys dimensions.
In the case of pipelines, the expansion is mainly linear, since their length
far exceeds their other dimensions.
The parameter which provides guidance on a pipes tendency to expand
or contract in case of a temperature variation is its linear expansion coef-
cient.
Therefore, when designing and constructing installations it is essential to
know the value of this coecient, in order to calculate the amount of ex-
pansion/contraction and adopt the necessary measures to ensure that this
will not damage the piping.
Naturally, Almona and Almona STABI system pipes are not immune from
thermal expansion, and so this must be carefully evaluated during design
and installation.
First, it is important to distinguish between the two alternative installation
modes:
- installation under concrete
- installation externally (visible)
In the rst case, the eect of the expansion is negligible, since the material
is able to absorb it itself and no special measures are required.
On the other hand, when pipes are installed outside the walls and exposed
to considerable variations in temperature, it is essential to allow for the
thermal expansion by proceeding as described hereafter.

Calculating the

EXAMPLE 1:
Expansion
EXAMPLE 2:
Contraction
The variation in length L of a Almona pipe further to a temperature varia-
tion can be calculated using the following formula:
L = L T
where:
L = variation in pipe length (mm)
= linear expansion coecient of the material, which for
Almona is 0.15 mm/mC, while for Almona STABI pipe it is
0.06 mm/mC
L = length of the pipe section free to expand (m)
T = dierence in temperature between the time of installation and
the operating temperature (C).
L = 6 m;
Tm = 20C (installation temperature);
Tmax = 75C (maximum operating temperature);
from which we obtain
L = L T = 0.15 6 55 = 49.5 mm (Almona pipe)
L = L T = 0.06 6 55 = 19.8 mm (Almona STBAI)
L = 6 m;
Tm = 30C (installation temperature);
Tmin = 5C (minimum operating temperature, e.g. air-con
ditioning);
from which we obtain
L = L T = 0.15 6 (-25) = -22.5 mm (Almona pipe)
L = L T = 0.06 6 (-25) = -9.0 mm ( Almona STABI)
In this case, the pipe expands, increasing its initial length.
In this case, the pipe expands, increasing its initial length.

Once the variation in length of the piping has been calculated, the neces-
sary measures must be taken to ensure that its eects do not cause prob-
lems for the piping itself. The following procedures may be used:
- provision of fxed and sliding points;
- compensation with expansion arms.
These are the xtures which secure the piping to the masonry structure
of the building, totally or partially preventing the movements generated by
thermal expansion.
Fixed points prevent pipes from moving, and so must provide a rigid con-
nection between the installation on the one hand and the masonry on the
other.
They are constructed using rigid collars, consisting of a gripping element,
generally metallic, lined with rubber on the pipe side, and a component
for xing to the wall on the other side. Naturally the part in rubber (or in
another similar material) is intended to prevent dangerous cutting of the
surface of the pipe.
Fixed points must normally be positioned where the system changes direc-
tion (branches, elbows, etc.) to ensure that the expansion forces are not dis-
charged in these points. In al cases, a xed supporting point should always
be provided next to any joint in the pipe created using a coupling or any
other welded tting.
Obviously, the xed points limit the length of the sections of pipe free to
expand, and thus reduce the relative L value.

Sliding points allow the pipe to move axially in both directions.
They therefore have to be positioned well away from joints made using
pipe ttings, on a free length of the pipes surface. The collar which forms
the sliding support point must be absolutely free from parts which might
damage the outside surface of the pipe.
Sliding points also provide support and ensure (provided enough of them
are installed) that the pipe remains straight in spite of thermal stresses.
See stirrup distances.

To allow correct installation of Almona and Almona STABI system pipes on
the outside of walls, the following is the graph used to calculate the stirrup
distances between points. These distances remain the same regardless of
whether the pipes are horizontal or vertical.
When Almona STABI pipes are used, the reduced expansion of these pipes
allows the distances between points to be increased.

Compensating
using expansion
arms
With this technique, the pipe run is designed to allow any expansion to be ab-
sorbed. To ensure this, expansion arms, where the pipe is able to expand in
case of thermal stresses, are installed at points where the direction changes
(elbows, tees, etc.).
The specications of these expansion arms are calculated using the following
formula:
LS = F d L
where:
LS = expansion arm lenght (mm)
F = constant of the material (for PP = 30)
d = pipe outside diameter (mm)
L = pipe length variation (mm)
EXAMPLE 1:
Nota: when Almona STABI pipe is used in the same conditions and with the same
F value, the expansion arm will be shorter than for Almona. This is because of the
lower thermal expansion coecient, which means that the increase in pipe length
is reduced.
To calculate the expansion arm length for a section of Almona
pipe
where:
d = 40 mm (outside diamter);
L = 6 m;
T = 55C
Previous calculations have given a L = 49.5 mm
Therefore:
LS = F d L = 30 (40 49.5) = 1335 mm

EQUIPMENT
MAKING WELDS
Welding using the
welding machine
The following specic equipment is required for the construction of
installations using Almona system components:
Almona system elements can be welded together using the welding machine
or an electric welder and suitable electric couplings.
Welds are made by rst heating the outside surface of the pipe and the inside
surface of the tting simultaneously, on the welding machine die. The pipe is
then inserted in the tting, to create a socket joint.

1) Preparing the welding machine
Fit the welding machine with the dies of the diameters to be processed
and connect the plug to the 220 V power supply socket. Wait until the
green light on the machine goes out, indicating that the welding machine
has reached the working temperature.
2) Preparing the elements for welding
Cut the pipe using the cutting tool provided and check that the parts to
be connected are clean. Otherwise, clean the surfaces to be mated during
welding with a clean cloth.
3) Making the weld
After checking that the welding machine is ready, t the pipe and the t-
ting simultaneously into the dies of the corresponding size, following the
working conditions stated in the table in page 32. After heating, remove
the elements from the dies and make the joint.

PROCESSING
Alomna STABI
Making a joint with the
welding machine
Almona STABI can be processed in the same way as Almona, but the outer layer
of PP-R and the underlying aluminium sheet must be removed. As an alterna-
tive, the special self-adapting unions can be used.
Sequence of operations
1) Preparing the welding machine and cutting the pipe
These operations take place as described previously for the Almona system.
2) Scraping the pipe
This operation, carried out on the end of the pipe to be welded, is performed
using a special scraping tool by hand, or mechanically with the aid of a drill.
To ensure that the scraper blade only removes the aluminium and outer PP-R
cladding, it is very important to adjust the blade using the screw provided, with
the aid of the setting template.
32 33
Processing
07 Chapter 07
When scraping, it is also essential to take care not to reduce the thickness of the
PP-R pipe.
3) Making the weld
The weld is then made following the procedures described previously.

Scraping by hand Scraping mechanically
USING THE HOLE
REPAIRING DIE
If a hole is accidentally made in the pipe (with a drill bit, for example) and
if the hole is in only one side of the pipe, it can be repaired using the hole
repairing die, bearing in mind that the pipe size must be compatible with
the die diameter.
The repair procedure is as follows:
- Clean and dry the part to be repaired.
- Fit the male part of the hole repairing die into the hole; it must melt the
surface to be welded. The die has a metal bush which can be adjusted by
the operator to suit the pipe thickness, to ensure that the die cannot be in-
serted too far and melt the other side of the pipe. To make this adjustment,
undo the screw which xes the bush and then move it along the die.
- At the same time as the male part of the die melts the area around the
hole, the female part melts the repair bar usually supplied with the die.
Processing
07 Chapter 07
- Once the heating time has passed (5 sec.) the repair bar must be inserted
in the hole. When this operation is complete, wait for everything to cool and
then cut o the excess part of the repair bar. If the diameter of the hole to be
repaired is greater than that of the die, or both sides of the pipe are punctured,
the piece of pipe must be cut out and the repair made using normal pipe t-
tings, or more easily using the electric couplings.

INSTRUCTIONS
FOR using Almona
Saddle
1) Preparing the pipe surface.
2) Procedure for borning the pipe.
3) Dies for polyfuse welding and fusion procedure.
The use of a saddle tting enables derivations to be applied to previously
installed tracts of piping whose diameter is larger than the requirements of
the new tting tracts to be made.
To carry out the required welding, it is imperative that the appropriate dies
for the polyfuse welding are used. These dies, thanks to their particular ge-
ometry allow for the fusion of concave or convex surfaces to be welded
increasing the surface area to be fused.
The section to be aected by the deviation must be cleaned of all traces
of dirt.
The surface to be welded must be scraped, using an appropriate scraper.
The scraping process is essential for removing the external lm of the pipe,
that over time, has oxidized and which will prevent a good weld from being
achieved.
Boring the pipe can be done using a standard drill tip.
The size of this tip must always be 1 mm smaller than the size of the deriva-
tion to be made (see table below).
Make the hole whilst working, taking care not to damage the wall
opposite.
With normal polyfuse welding the dies must be mounted bearing the fol-
lowing in mind:
The concave element acts on the external surface of the pipe on which the
derivations are to be executed and on the hole made.
The convex element acts on the tting made for the derivation.

3) Welding operation.
3) Cooling.
3) Estimated times and tip diameters
After verifying that the polyfuse welding device has reached working con-
ditions, indicated by the green indicator light going o, at the same time
exert a light pressure until the surfaces of the dies t perfectly together
with those of the pipe and tting.
The time required for this operations is shown in the table, bearing in mind
that the heating time indicated must be calculated from the moment the
surfaces come into contact with each other. Once the set period of time has
elapsed, the seams of the fused material will appear.
Once the heating time has elapsed, the dies must be removed from the ele-
ments to be joined and, exerting an even pressure, bring the pipe-tting
elements together within the time indicated in the table, keeping them
pressed for at least an additional 30 seconds.
At the end of the welding operation, avoid either mechanical or heat stress
to the joint for the time of cooling which must take place at ambient tem-
perature.

Foreword
OPERATING
CONDITIONS
ULTRAVIOLET
RAYS
Use of a system of plastic pipes and ttings oers a series of advantages
from various points of view, as fully described in Main features of Almona
system, Chapter 2 (page 7).
However, in order to enjoy all the benets of these properties, the user
must be well aware of every aspect relating to the product to be used. To
assist Almona system user, we have prepared a number of important rec-
ommendations, set out below.
The use of Almona and Almona STABI in the stated operating conditions
creates absolutely no problems for the material.
However, exceeding the limit conditions for use may impair the products
resistance.
All precautions must therefore be taken to ensure that this does not occur;
this not only protects the system itself, but frequently also its user.
Almona pipe must never be installed or stored where it is subject to
direct ultraviolet rays (sunlight or neon lights). Ultraviolet ray causes
ageing in the material, leading to loss of its initial chemicalphysical char-
acteristics.
Almona STABI pipes can be installed on the outside of walls, but on the
inside of the building, while installations with direct exposure to U.V. ra-
diation are not recommended, since its eects gradually break down rst
the external PP-R lm, then the aluminium sheet and nally the pipe below.
Precautions
09 Chapter 09
HANDLING PIPES
FORMATION
OF ICE
During handling, storage and use on site, bundles of pipes or individual lengths
must be protected against excessive external stresses, such as shaking, knocks,
hammer blows, etc. This is even more important as the ambient temperature
falls, since at low temperatures the material is more rigid and has a less elastic
response to outside stresses.
When water passes from the liquid to the solid state (ice), its volume increases
to an extent which may generate stresses inside the installation which the ma-
terial is unable to withstand. The appropriate measures must be taken to ensure
that this does not occur, draining the system completely after testing if there is
the risk of freezing.
42 43
Precautions
09 Chapter 09
CONTACT WITH
SHARP EDGED
BODIES
BENDING
Any contact with sharp edged bodies (such as brick shards) causes cuts on
the outside of the pipe which might lead to breakages later. Care must be
taken to ensure that this does not occur during storage and installation,
and any scratched or scored pipes must not be used.
To bend Almona system pipes, proceed as follows:
- for very wide radius curves, the pipe may be bent cold
- for radii close to, but not below, 8 times the diameter of the pipe
concerned, the pipe should be heated with hot air.
- fames must not be used.

FITTINGS WITH
METAL INSERT
CUTTING PIPES
WELDING
When using Almona system ttings with threaded female metal insert, do not
apply excessive tightening torques when connecting to male ttings. Also, take
care not to place too much hemp between the parts to be assembled. Tefon
is to be preferred in all cases. In addition, check that the male part is long
enough for a proper connection; generally, at least one turn of thread should
be left free.
If installation requirements mean that a Almona system tting must be con-
nected to an iron pipe or union, the connection should be made using Almona
ttings with male thread.
Use tools capable of making a burr-free cut, perpendicular to the pipes axis.
The parts for welding must always be thoroughly clean and the welding ma-
chines thermostat must indicate that it has reached the operating temperature.
No twisting forces must be applied to the connected parts, either during or
after welding. See page 30, Welding with the welding machine.
44 45
Testing The Installation
10 Chapter 10
PROCEDURE Testing plays a fundamental role in ensuring that the installation operates
correctly. Testing allows the installation technician to check that the system
is not leaking at any point, for any reason.
The operations required are:
- Visual check on the pipes and ttings
This ensures that the pipes and ttings have been installed correctly and
that no parts have been accidentally damaged by sharp-edged bodies.
- Tightness test
This is carried out with the system still directly accessible; it is lled with
water at ambient temperature, taking care to vent the air present.
After lling, after sealing the system, it is put under pressure for 24 h with
the following pressure value:
TESTING PRESSURE = PN (pipe nominal pressure)
For the Almona system, PN = 20 bar.
After the specied time, a visual inspection allows the installation techni-
cian to check whether there are any leakage points.
