The Innogaz range of polyethylene(PE) fittings for pressure applicationsis offered by Innoge PE Industries,based in the Principality of Monaco.
Our vast knowledge and experience ofthe PE market and the field ofinjection, manufacturing and fusionof PE has allowed us to develop awide range of products for gas, waterand other fluid distribution networks.We are a market leader in the production of tapping teeswith a number of other electrofusion and spigot fittings completing ourproduct offering.
As part of the worlds largest plastics manufacturer Aliaxis and with over25 years experience in the electrofusion field, our fittings provide qualitypipeline solutions to gas and water companies and projects across the world.
The quality and reliability of our products is ensured as we work to ISO 9001.Specific standards for gas and water distribution are also held and you willfind details on this later in the brochure.
Constant investment in our manufacturing plants allows for innovativeproducts that meet the needs and desires of our customers to be developed.This is an ongoing commitment with product improvements and product lineenhancements taking place continuously. As part of our commitment to you,we will advise you regularly about changes to our range so that you are fullyaware of what products we are able to offer you.
You will find our efficient and friendly commercial team supportive throughoutthe whole of the enquiry, ordering and delivery process. From delivery ortechnical questions whatever your query we are confident we will respond toyou in an informative and timely fashion.
Within this brochure we hope to provide you with an insight into the productswe have on offer.

PolyethyleneMost of our fittings are made from PE, which benefits from the following characteristics:
Good insulator can help prevent the freezing of liquid pipe system contents.
Resistant to abrasion and corrosion. Flexible and rugged. Resistant to chemical attack It does not rot, rust, pit, corrode
or loose wall thickness through chemical or electrical reaction with the surrounding soil.
Light weight reducing the need and costs of heavy machinery.
PE is therefore a good choice where traditional pipe materials would be unsuitable, where ground movement occurs and where aggressive ground conditions are present.
Several types of PE exist. Each type is characterised by its minimal required stress. PE used in electrofusion fittings has the following characteristics:
ISO PE Classification
Minimal Required Stress
Long-TermHydrostaticResistance at 20C
PE80 8 MPa 6.3 MPa
PE100 10 MPa 8 MPa
PE80 has been widely used for gas, water and industrial applications for many years.
PE100 is a higher performance, higher density PE, which demonstrates exceptional resistance to rapid crack propagation and long-term stress cracking. Due to the higher performance this type of PE allows for thinner walls at the same operating pressure.
Conditions of Use
Operating PressureThe levels of pressure used for the hydraulic pressure resistance tests, allow the definition, according to the current regulation in each country, the maximum operating pressures:

16 bar water 80C 10.8 bar ( = 5.4MPa) 165 hours
In no case should the pressure be higher than the values authorised by the current regulations in each country.
Maximum Operating PressureThe maximum operating pressure (PMS) of piping items is the maximum inner allowable operating pressure for this item for the kind of application considered.
The PMS is linked to the nominal pressure according to the use envisaged. It can be inferior or superior to the nominal pressure depending on whether the conditions of service are more or less severe than the reference conditions.
Nominal PressureThe nominal pressure (PN) of piping items is expressed by a number that indicates the capability of this item to withstand an inner pressure. It corresponds to the value expressed in bar of an inner water pressure maintained constant that the piping items have to withstand without failing for 50 years at a temperature of 20C. The nominal pressures are directly calculated from the long-term hydrostatic resistance at 20C.
PN = 20
PN = nominal pressure = long-term hydrostatic resistance at 20C (MPa)e = (Minimum) nominal thickness of the pipe walls

Jointing PE to PE by FusionPipes of similar materials and/or wall thickness can be jointed by butt-fusion or electrofusion. Pipes of similar materials but differing wall thickness can only be jointed through the use of electrofusion. Butt-welding different pipe materials i.e. PE80 to PE100 is not recommended on site.
ElectrofusionAll electrofusion fittings contain an electrical heating coil, which when energised causes the adjacent material to melt and form an expanding pool. When this comes into contact with the pipe it also causes the surface of the pipe to melt, this molten material then mixes together. After the heat cycle the fitting and pipe are left to cool so that the molten material can solidify and form a sound joint.
Electrofusion Cycle
Pipe positioned in coupler prior to energising coil. Coil energised.
Material surrounding coil starts to melt.
Melt pressure reaches optimum value at end of energising cycle. The pop up indicator appears to show fusion is complete.
Area of melt extends leading to expansion towards pipe surface.
Heat transfers to pipe wall and pipe material starts to melt.
Melt solidifies at the start of the cold zones, thereby sealing the melt zone. Further input of energy causes increase in melt pressure.
