MAJOR PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURER SOLVES PIPING ISSUES WITH AQUATHERM GREEN PIPE
April 19th, 2013
In January 2013, a major pharmaceutical manufacturer located in the Northeast faced a domestic water piping retrofit at one of its biopharmaceutical research centers. DECCO, a Brookline, NH-based mechanical contractor that has extensive experience in the mechanical aspects of “bio-pharm” applications, was called upon as a project engineer to come up with a solution. In Read More

TECHNICAL BULLETIN: 201212B-AQTTB Date issued: 27 Dec. 2012 Recently Aquatherm announced that Aquatherm Advanced (Reflectix) was being discontinued. Aquatherm is getting out of the insulation business. In the meantime, it is recognized that an alternative to Aquathem Advanced needs to be provided. While Aquatherm does not promote one brand of insulation over another, the accompanying Read More
INTERNAL ALIGNMENT
November 28th, 2012
Due to gravity and the physics of extrusion, larger pipes tend to be slightly thicker on the bottom than they are on the top. However, the top will always be at least as thick as the production SDR, so there is no concern over pressure and temperature ratings. This difference is not enough to cause Read More
Underground Thermal Expansion in Aquatherm Pipe
November 1st, 2012
201211A – AQTTB Date Issued: 6 December 2012 The need for thermal expansion joints in piping systems arises from the tendency of the pipe to expand or contract due to changes in temperature of the pipe material. This expansion can either be directed to a specific location (i.e. expansion joint) by anchoring the pipe away Read More
AQUATHERM AND PIPE INSULATION
October 25th, 2012
Aquatherm pipe has a high thermal resistance value, giving a level of natural insulation to the pipe. With this high level of thermal resistance many have supposed that Aquatherm pipe can be installed in many instances without thermal insulation. While this may indeed be true in some instances, most of the time and according to Read More
