201503A – AQTTB Date Issued: 2 March 2015 Aquatherm PP-R piping systems, Green Pipe, Green Pipe MF Faser, and Blue Pipe MF Faser are freeze tolerant meaning that they may experience inadvertent freeze/thaw cycles without sustaining damage to the pipe. However, the pipe should not be placed in an application where the potential for frequent Read More

The flow rates, friction loss data and velocities for a few given flow rates are shown in the catalog. This data are the result of calculations made with the Hazen-Williams formula which is also given in the catalog. The data shows the results of the calculations showing the friction loss of the pipe in feet Read More

PCs, laptops, tablets, smart phones, digital TVs—a great deal of energy is consumed connecting the public to the Internet. In fact, the information-communications-technologies ecosystem, also known as the digital economy, uses more than 1,500 terawatt-hours of power per year or about 10% of the world’s total electricity generation. Additionally, expending this major amount of energy Read More

Within most native Southerners grows an appreciation of the past, a sense of community and an aptitude for storytelling. In March 2010, brothers Coby and Hunter Lake founded their brewery, Avondale Brewing Co., in Birmingham, AL, on these very same principles. To that end, the brothers chose for their 10,000-sq-ft brewery an establishment built in Read More

When it comes to aquatic applications, there are many advantages to using Aquatherm pipe rather than metallic piping. One of the most significant advantages is that Aquatherm pipe is corrosion resistant making it an ideal material to be used in harsh, underwater environments. Other advantages include the leak-free joints, made possible by the heat fusion Read More
