technology PN16
Compressed air is now an integral
part of the manufacturing and
processing industries.
There are numerous tasks and the
solution is often simple. However,
the quality of the piping and its
long term properties play a decisive
role in the safety and the costs.
The polyfusion welding
technology assures clean,
leak-free, secure and
homogeneous joints.
Pressure rating: PN16
Applications
● Driving medium for tools such as
drilling machines, hammer-drive
screws, grinding machines,
pressure cylinders …
● Pneumatic control systems
for machines
● Driving force for regulating fittings,
solenoid valves, shut-off devices,
valves …
● Purification air at the workplace

Advantages
● Range: d 20 – d 125
All the necessary fittings and
adaptors
● High chemical resistance to
compressor oils
● No corrosion. This ensures that
the quality of the compressed
air is maintained
● No energy loss caused by
leakage through dried seals
● The smooth surface means there
are low friction losses and no
narrowing of the cross-section
in the fitting.
As a result of the this and the
elasticity of the material there
is a low noise transmission
Cooling technology
Chilled water
Pipe systems for chilled water cooling
systems (from fan coil systems to ceiling
cooling systems) must be safe to use,
flexible in design and quick to install.
KEtrix® meets all these
requirements:
● The highly secure welding joint
technology with a safety factor > 3
● NONOX® process ensures
no oxygen diffusion
● Resistant to chemicals, aqueous
solutions and water hammer,
even at cold temperatures.
● Resistant to corrosion, even at points
where there is unwanted condensation
● Complete fitting programme which
has been adapted for each application
● The low weight and easy handling
means that many joints can be pre-
manufactured in the workshop.
This saves time and costs
● KE KELIT pre-manufactures fitting
components which are required in
large numbers
Cooling systems
There are only a few types of plastic which
are resistant to impact at low
temperatures, resistant to corrosion and
have a reasonable relationship of price
to performance.
CRYOLEN®, a polypropylene alloy
(POB = Polyolefine blend) meets these
requirements:
● High impact resistance at temperatures
down to –30°C
● Resistant to glycol brines whatever
the concentration
● NONOX® process ensures
no oxygen diffusion
● Resistant to corrosion, even at points
where there is unwanted condensation
and at temperatures around 0°C.
● No pre-treatment (painting) of
the pipes required
● Safe. In comparison to
steel/copper/stainless steel a very
quick welded joint
Insulation
● In most cases with cooling systems
a specialist insulating contractor will
install the insulation with a suitable
and approved elastomer foam and
will ensure that it is sealed to stop
diffusion
● Straight lengths of pipes are also
available with polyurethane insulation

For larger sizes (d50-d90) the clamps

machinations. the task it has been set. According to the
law of the economy it is not possible to
acquire high value with little money.
