ABOUT US
Astral Poly Technik Ltd is very proud to introduce
CHLORINATED POLY VINYL CHLORIDE [CPVC] for the first time into
this part of the globe, under license from Lubrizol, [formerly
Noveon, USA] under brand name Astral FlowGuard CPVC. It is also
manufacturing Industrial Piping System under brand name Astral
Corzan CPVC. It has a techno commercial joint venture with
Specialty Process LLC, USA, the world leaders of manufacturing
FlowGuard CPVC Pipes and Fittings in USA since last 32 Years.
Astral FlowGuard pipes and fittings, manufactured by
Astral Poly Technik Ltd, are made from the specialty plastic,
chemically known as Chlorinated Poly Vinyl Chloride [CPVC]. This
CPVC compound meets cell class 23447 B as defined by ASTM
D1784 and have a design stress of 2000 PSI and a maximum
service temperature upto 93°C.
Pipes are produced in copper tube size (CTS) from 15 mm
(½") to 50 mm (2") with two different standard dimensional ratios
- SDR-11 and SDR-13.5. The fittings are produced as per SDR 11.
All Astral CPVC SDR 11 and SDR 13.5 pipes are made from
identical CPVC compound material having same physical
properties. The CPVC fittings are manufactured from compound
material which meets all the requirement as per ASTM standard.
CPVC pipes of Copper Tube Size (CTS) dimensions can also be
applied to CPVC (IPS) dimensions by using IPS x CTS fittings. The
CPVC pipes from 15 mm (½") to 50 mm (2") are also produced as
per IS 15778 standard in both class that is Class 1 (SDR 11) and
Class 2 (SDR 13.5).
Apart from having the same physical properties, SDR 11
and SDR 13.5 which are having different wall thickness and
therefore, at any given temperature, they have different pressure
ratings. For e.g.
Astral also produces FlowGuard pipes in iron pipe size
(IPS), available sizes are 65 mm (2½") to 100 mm (4") in SCH 40
and 65mm (2½") to 300 mm (12") in SCH 80 which meets the
requirements of ASTM F 441. The pressure ratings varies with
schedule pipe size and temperature.
Astral is the only pipe manufacturing company in India
having most prestigious quality certification from National
Sanitation Foundations (NSF) and Bureau of Indian Standards(BIS).
Astral products are regularly tested at CIPET, CBRI - Roorkee and
Shriram Institute and also received state approvals from BMC,
CPWD, PWD, DGMAP etc. for domestic and public sanitation.

FEATURES & BENEFITS
Corrosion resistance
Astral CPVC Pipe gives excellent resistance even under
the harshest of water conditions so there are none of
the purity worries from corrosion of metal pipe or
soldered joints. Astral CPVC Pipe keeps pure water pure.
Lower bacterial growth
Bacteria build up with CPVC is far lower than
with alternative piping materials - Copper, Steel
and other thermoplastics.
No Scale, pit or leach formation
Even after years of use in the most aggressive conditions, Astral
CPVC pipe won’t corrode, standing up to low pH water, coastal
salt air exposures and corrosive soils. Astral CPVC Pipe stays as
solid and reliable as the day it was installed. It maintains full
water carrying Capacity because its scale resistance means no
build up to cause water pressure loss.
Unaffected by chlorine in the water
Some materials may be adversely affected by chlorine
contained in the water supply, which can cause
breakdown of the polymer chains and potential leaks.
In this respect, Astral CPVC pipe is unaffected by the
chlorine present in potable water supply.
Low thermal expansion
Astral CPVC pipe has a lower coefficient of thermal
expansion than alternative plastics, reducing the
amount that the pipe expands when hot water is
running, again reducing unsightly ‘looping’ of the pipe.

Easy Plumbing process
CPVC uses a simple, solvent cement jointing method. Tools
required are very simple and inexpensive (chamfering tool and
pipe cutter only) and avoid the need for an electrical source.
Superior insulation : Astral CPVC pipe is more energy efficient
than metal pipe. As an insulator it does not lose heat the way
metal pipe do. Heat loss and thermal expansion are reduced.
Hot water compatible
Astral CPVC pipe is compatible with both hot and
cold water. It withstand very high temperature
compared to any other thermoplastic plumbing
systems. Many solar and electric water heaters
have CPVC piping system for heat efficiency and
lower installation cost.
Tough, rigid material
Astral CPVC pipe has a much higher strength than other
thermoplastics used in plumbing. This means that CPVC needs less
hangers and supports and there is no unsightly looping of the pipe.
Astral CPVC pipe Has a higher pressure bearing capability. This
leads to the same flow rate with a smaller pipe size.

Fire safety
CPVC has a limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) of 60. Thus in
air, Astral CPVC pipe does not support combustion.
No flaming drips, does not increase the fire load, low
flame spread, low smoke generation.

FLUID HANDLING CHARACTERISTIC
OF ASTRAL FLOWGUARD PIPE
Linear Fluid Flow Velocity
The linear velocity of a flowing fluid in a pipe is calculated from :
0.4085g
d2
Where V = Linear fluid flow velocity in feet per second
g = Flow rate in gallons per minute
d = Inside diameter of pipe in inches
V =
The values in the following tables are based on this formula.
These values are accurate for all fluids.
Linear fluids flows velocity in a system should generally be
limited to 5 ft/s, particularly for pipe size 6” and grater. Following
this guideline will minimize risk of hydraulic shock damage due to
water hammer surge pressures.
Friction Loss in Pipes
A great advantage that Flowguard Pipe enjoys over its metallic
competitors is a smooth inner surface which is resistant to scaling
and fouling. This means that friction pressure losses in the fluid flow
are minimized from the beginning and do not significantly increase
as the system ages, as can be the case with metal pipes subject to
scaling.
The Hazen-Willims formula is the generally accepted method
of calculating friction head losses in piping systems. The values in
the following fluid tables are based on this formula and a surface
roughness constants for other piping materials are given beside :

Friction Loss in Fittings
Friction losses through fittings are calculated from the equivalent
length of straigth pipe which would produce the same friction loss in
the fluid. The equivalent lengths of pipe for common fittings are
given here.

Water Hammer Surge Pressure
Whenever the flow rate of fluid in a pipe is change, there is a surge in
pressure known as water hammer, The longer the line and the faster
the fluid is moving, the greater the hydraulic shock will be. Water
hammer may be caused by opening or closing a valve, starting or
stopping a pump, or the movement of entrapped air through the
pipe. The maximum water hammer surge pressure may be
calculated from :
½
p∆V P 1 + d
Pwh =
gc K bE
gc
where Pwh = Maximum surge pressure, psi
p = Fluid density
∆V = Change in fluid velocity
gc = Gravitational constant
K = Bulk modulus of elasticity of fluid
b = Pipe wall thickness
E = Pipe material bulk modulus of elasticity
d = Pipe inside diameter
[
]
The value in the following tables are based on this formula at
730F and the assumption that water flowing at a given rate of gallons
per minute is suddenly completely stopped. At 180°F, the surge
pressure is approximately 15% less. The value for fluids other then
water may be by multiplying by the square root of the fluid’s
specific gravity.
THE WATER HAMMER SURGE PRESSURE PLUS THE SYSTEM
OPERATING PRESSURE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 1.5 TIMES THE
RECOMMENDED WORKING SEPARATE RATING OF THE SYSTEM.
In order to minimize hydraulic shock due to water hammer,
linear fluid flow velocity should generally be limited to 5ft/s,
particularly for pipe size of 6” or longer. Velocity at system start-up
should be limited to 1 ft/s during filling until it is certain that all air
has been brought up to operating conditions. Air should not be
allowed to draw in air.
Where necessary, extra protective equipment may be used to
prevent water hammer damage, shock absorbers, surge arrestors
and vacuum air relief valves.

THERMAL EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION
Like all piping material, Flowguard CPVC expand when
heated and contract when cooled. CPVC piping (regardless of pipe
diameter) will expand about 1 inch per 50 feet of length when
subjected to a 50° F temperature increase, therefore, allowances
must be made for this resulting movement. However, laboratory
testing and installation experience have demonstrated that the
practical issues are much smaller than the coefficient of thermal
expansion would suggest. The stresses developed in CPVC pipe
are generally much smaller than those developed in metal pipe
for equal temperature changes because of the difference in
elastic modulus. Required loops are smaller than those
recommended by the Copper Development Association for
copper systems.
Expansion is mainly a concern in hot water lines, Generally,
thermal expansion can be accommodated with changes in
direction.
However, a long straight run may require an offset or
loop. Only one expansion loop, properly sized is required in any
single straight run, regardless of its total length. If more
convenient, two or more smaller expansion loops, properly sized,
can be utilized in a single run of pipe to accommodate the
thermal movement. Be sure to hang pipe with smooth straps that
will not restrict movement. For convenience, loop (or offset)
length have been calculated for different pipe sizes and different
run length with a temperature increase (DT) of about 80°F. The
results, shown in Tables A and B, are presented simply as a handy
guide for quick and easy determinations of acceptable loop length
for the approximate conditions. Loop length for other
temperatures and run length can be calculated utilizing the
following equations :

TRANSITION FITTINGS & JOINTS
Special transition fittings or joints are used whenever
CPVC piping is connected to a metal valve, fittings, or other
appurtenance such as a filter, or to parts made of another plastic.
These special transition fittings can have many forms. One
common form is the true union with a metal end and a CPVC end
held together with a plastic or metal gland nut and having an
elastomeric seal between them. Other forms are the flanged
joint, the grooved joint, insert molded metal in CPVC fittings,
patented push-on type fittings and finally the CPVC female
threaded adapter with an elastomeric seal at the bottom of the
thread. The later fittings are designed so that they have no thread
interference and rely entirely on the elastomeric seal for water
tightness. They require only minimal torque to attain an adequate
seal.
Standard compression fittings which utilize brass of plastic
ferrules can be used to assemble CPVC. However, Teflon® tape
should be applied over the brass ferrule to compensate for the
dissimilar thermal expansion rates of the brass and CPVC that
could possibly otherwise result in a leak. Care should be taken not
to over-torque the compression connection.
Metal fittings with CPVC socket inserts are also available.
The tubing is cemented directly into the socket in the same way
as an all-CPVC fittings.
Plastic O.H.T.
The standard practice is to thread a male thread adapter
into the female threaded part, such as a valve of stop, and then
solvent cement to the CPVC pipe. However, when using the male
thread adapter, there are two limitations that the installer must
consider when deciding where and how to use it. First, the male
thread adapter may develop a drip leak if the joint is subjected to
too broad temperature range. And second, some thread sealants
intended to minimize leak problems may chemically attack the
CPVC and cause stress cracking of the adapter (see Thread
Sealants section). The preferred method of transitioning between
metal and CPVC plumbing component is to use an insert molded
metal-in-CPVC fitting or true union with a metal and a CPVC end.
A typical Hot and Cold Water Distribution system
operating at 60-700C requires support for horizontal lines every
90cm for diameters of 32mm and below, and every 120cm on
larger size. However, the following spacings are based on
conservative engineering assumptions and can be used at water
temperatures indicated.
Vertical CPVC piping should be supported at each floor
and should have a mid-story guide, unless thermal expansion
design call for other provisions.
Piping should not be anchored tightly by the supports, but
secured in a manner to allow for a degree of movement caused
by thermal expansion. Hangers of strapping with rough edges
should not be used.

UNDERGROUND INSTALLATION
CPVC pipes and fittings can be installed underground. Since
these piping systems are flexible systems, proper attention should
be given to burial conditions. The stiffness of the piping system is
affected by sidewall support, soil compaction, and the condition
of the trench. Trench bottoms should be smooth and regular in
either undisturbed soil or a layer of compacted backfill. Pipe must
lie evenly on this surface throughout the entire length of its barrel.
Excavation, bedding and backfill should be in accordance with the
provision of the local Plumbing Code having jurisdiction.
TRENCHING
The following trenching and burial procedures should be used to
protect the piping system.
1. The trench should be excavated to ensure the sides will be
stable under all working conditions.
2. The trench should be wide enough to provide adequate room
for the following :
A. Joining the pipe in the trench.
B. Snaking the pipe from side or side to compensate for
expansion and contraction.
C. Filling and compacting the side fills. The space between
the pipe and trench wall must be wider than the
compaction equipment used in the compaction of the
back fill. Minimum width shall not be less than the
greater of either the pipe outside diameter plus
16.inches or the pipe outside diameter times 1.25 plus 12
inches. Trench width may be different if approved by the
design engineer.
3. The trench bottom should be smooth, free of rocks and
debris, continuous, and provide uniform support. If ledge
rock, hardpan or large boulders are encountered, the trench
bottom should be padded with bedding of compacted
granular material to a thickness of at least 4 inches.
Foundation bedding should be installed as required by the
engineer.
4. Trench depth is determined by the pipe’s service
requirements. Plastic pipe should always be installed at least
below the frost level. The minimum cover for lines subject to
heavy overhead traffic is 24 inches.
5. A smooth trench bottom is necessary to support the pipe
over its entire length on firm stable material. Blocking should
not be used to change pipe grade or to intermittently support
pipe over low sections in the trench.
BEDDING AND BACKFILLING
1. Even though sub-soil conditions vary widely from place to
place, the pipe backfill should be stable and provide
protection for the pipe.
2. The pipe should be surrounded with a granular material which
is easily worked around the sides of the pipe Backfilling should
be performed in layer of 6 inch with each layer being
sufficiently compacted to 85% to 95% compaction.
3. A mechanical tamper is recommended for compacting sand
and gravel backfill which contain a significant proportion of
fine grained material, such as silt and clay. If a tamper is not
available, compacting should be done by hand.
4. The trench should be completely filled. The backfill should be
placed and spread in fairly uniform layers to prevent any
unfilled spaces or voids.

REQUIRMENT OF THARMALLY
INSULATING CPVC PIPE
CPVC has much lower thermal conductivity then metals used
in piping systems (0.14W / mk for CPVC verus > 400 W / mk for
copper).
For this reason in most cases it is not necessary to thermally
insulate CPVC piping. However the equation below can be used to
calculat the approximate heat loss from CPVC pipes 1 meter

HANDLING :
The pipe should be handled with reasonable care. Because
thermoplastic pipe is much lighter in weight than metal pipe,
there is sometimes a tendency to throw it around. This should be
avoided.
The pipe should never be dragged or pushed from a truck
bed. Pallets for pipe should be removed with a fork lift. Loose pipe
can be rolled down timbers as long as the pieces do not fall on
each other or on any hard or uneven surface. In all cases, severe
contact with any sharp objects (rocks, angle irons, forks on
forklifts, etc.) should be avoided.
STORING :
If possible, pipe should be stored inside. When this is not
possible, the pipe should be stored on level ground which is dry
and free from sharp objects. If different schedules of pipes are
stacked together, the pipes with the thickest walls should be at the
bottom.
The pipes should be protected from the sun and be in an
area with proper ventilation. This will lessen the effects of
ultraviolet rays and help prevent heat built-up.
If the pipes are stored in racks, it should be continuously
supported along its length. If this is not possible, the spacing of
the supports should not exceed three feet (3’).
When storage temperatures are below 0°C (32°F), extra
care should be taken when handling the pipe. This will help
prevent any problems which could be caused by the slightly lower
impact strength of PVC pipes at temperature below freezing.
JOINING ASTRAL
CPVC PIPES & FITTINGS
Solvent cement set and cure times are a
function of pipe size, temperature and
relative humidity. Curing time is shorter
for drier environments, smaller sizes and
higher temperatures. It requires 10 to 20
minutes for perfect joint.
SET AND CURE
In order to make a proper and neat joint,
measure the pipe length accurately and
make a small mark. Ensure that the pipe
and fittings are size compatible. You can
easily cut with a wheel type plastic pipe
cutter or hacksaw blade. Cutting tubing as
squarely as possible provides optimal
bonding area within a joint.

6
Burrs and filings can prevent proper
contact between tube and fitting during
assembly and should be removed from the
outside and inside of the pipe. Debarking
tool, pocket knife or file are suitable for
this. A slight bevel on the end of the
tubing will ease entry of the tubing into
the fitting socket.

PREPARATION
5
Using a clean, dry rag, wipe dirt and
moisture from the fitting sockets and tubing
end. The tubing should make contact with
the socket wall 1/3 to 2/3 of the way into
the fitting socket.
ASSEMBLY
Immediately insert the tubing into the
fitting socket, rotate the tube ¼ to ½ turn
while inserting. This motion ensures and
even distribution of cement within the
joint. Properly align the fittings. Hold the
assembly for approximately 10 seconds,
allowing the joint to set-up.

SOLVENT CEMENT
APPLICATION
use only CPVC cement or an all - purpose
cement conforming to ASTM F 493 or joint
failure may result. When making a joint,
apply a heavy, even coat of cement to the
pipe end. Use the same applicator without
additional cement to apply a thin coat
inside the fitting socket. Too much cement
can cause clogged water ways.
Note : For sizes above 65 mm (2½") use IPS 70 primer before applying solvent cement. The purpose of a primer is to penetrate and soften the surfaces
so they can stick together. The proper use of a primer ensures that the surfaces are prepared for fusion in a wide variety of weather conditions.

CHOOSING CEMENTS & PRIMERS :
Solvent cements for Flowguard CPVC systems must conform
to the requirements of ASTM F-493 or equivalent and should
carry this identification on the can label. A primer or cleaner
must be used on CPVC Primers for PVC pipe are acceptable for
CPVC. The National Sanitation Foundation mark (NSF) or other
potable water approval should also be located on the container.
Certain code bodies require orange CPVC solvent cement
and purple primer to facilitate identification by plumbing
inspectors. However, unpigmented (clear) CPVC solvent cement
and primer are available and accepted by various jurisdictions. If
you decide to use clear products, we strongly recommend
contracting the local plumbing inspector prior to beginning a job
to determine if these clear cements and primers are acceptable.
CPVC CEMENT’S SHELF LIFE :
CPVC solvent cement are formulated to have a Shelf life of
two years. Cans are usually marked with manufacturing dates.
Good CPVC cement should have the consistency of syrup or
honey with no undissolved materials. Ages cement will often
change colour or begin to thicken and become gelatinous or jellylike. When this occurs, the cement must be thrown away.
SOLVENT CEMENT FREEZING :
Use the same precautions to protect CPVC solvent cement
from freezing as you would with PVC cement. Once cement gels,
it can not be recovered and should be discarded.
35
2.
Verify the cement is the same as the pipes and fittings being
used.
Check the temperature where the cementing will take place.
•
•
Cement take longer time to set up in cold weather. Be
sure to allow extra time for curing. Do not try to speed
up the cure by artificial means this could cause porosity
and blisters in the cement film.
Solvents evaporate faster in warm weather. Work quickly
to avoid the cement setting up before the joint is
assembled. Keep the cement as cool as possible. Try to
stay out of direct sunlight.3. Keep the lid on cements,
cleaner, and primers when not is use Evaporation of the
solvent will effect the cement.4. Stir or shake cement
before using.
5. Use 20 mm (¾") dauber on small diameter pipes,40 mm
(1½") dauber up through 80 mm (3") pipe, and a natural
bristle brush, swab, or roller ½ the pipe diameter on pipes 4"
and up.
6. Do not mix cleaner or primer with cement.
7. Do not use thickened or lumpy cement. It should be like the
consistency of syrup or honey.
8. Do not handle joints immediately after assembly.
9. Do not allow daubers to dry out.
10. Maximum temperature allowable for CPVC pipe is 180°F.
11. All coloured cements, primers, and cleaners will have a
permanent stain. There is no known cleaning agent.
12. Use according to the step outline in ASTM D-2846, joining of
pipe and fittings.

insure leak-proof joints. Over the years, PTFE (Teflon® or
equivalent) tape has been the preferred thread sealant, it is still
the most widely accepted and approved sealant. Some paste
sealant can affect CPVC fittings;
therefore only sealants
recommended for use with CPVC by the thread sealant
manufacturer should be used.

Install product according to ASTRAL's Installation instructions
and manual and follow recommended safe work practices.
Keep Pipe and Fittings in original packaging until needed and
store pipes in covered areas.
Use tools designed for use with plastic pipe and fittings.
Cut-off minimum 25 mm beyond the edge of the crack in
case any crack is discovered on the pipe.
Pipe may be cut quickly and efficiently by several methods.
Wheel-type plastic tubing cutters are preferred. Ratchet type
cutters or fine tooth saws are another option. However,
when using the ratchet cutter, be certain to score the
exterior wall by rotating the cutter blade in a circular motion
around the pipe. Do this before applying significant
downward pressure to finalise the cut. This step leads to a
square cut. In addition, make sure ratchet cutter blades are
sharp. Cutting tubing as squarely as possible provides
optimal bonding area within a joint.
Burrs and filings can prevent proper contact between the
tube and fittings during assembly, and should be removed
from the outside and inside of the tube. A chamfering tool is
preferred, but a pocket knife or file is also suitable for this
purpose.
Use CPVC Cement only. Use only CPVC Cement or an all
purpose cement conforming to ASTM F-493 or joint failure
may result.
Always conduct hydraulic pressure testing after installation to
detect any leaks and faults. Wait for appropriate cure time
before pressure testing. Fill lines slowly and bleed air from
the system prior to pressure testing.
Rotate the pipe 90° to 180° to spread the CPVC Solvent
Cement evenly in the joint while pushing the Pipe into
Fitting.
Use Teflon tapes with threaded fittings.
Ensure that there are no sharp edges in contact with the pipe
while embedding the pipes on the walls or in the floors.
When making a transition connection to metal threads, use a
special transition fitting or CPVC male threaded adapter
whenever possible. Do not over-torque plastic threaded
connections. Head tight plus one-half turn should be
adequate.
Provide Vertical & Horizontal Supports as recommended
using the Plastic Straps only.
Apply a water- based paint only on exposed pipes & fittings.
Visually inspect all joints for proper cementing at the end of
shift or day. A Visual inspection of the complete system is
also recommended during pressure testing.
12. When connecting to a gas water heater, CPVC tubing should
not be locat ed within 50cm of the flue. For water heaters
lacking reliable temperature control, this distance may be
increased up to 1m. A metal nipple or flexible appliance
connector should be utilized. This measure eliminates the
potential for damage to plastic piping that might result from
excessive radiant heat from the flue. 13. Use of a brass/CPVC
transition adapter when connecting CPVC to a water heater
will help facilitate water heater replacement in the future.
14. Pressure test CPVC systems in accordance with local code
requirements.
DON'T's
1. Do not use Metal Hooks or Nails to support / hold or put
pressure on the pipes. Do not use straps & hangers with
rough or sharp edges. Do not tighten the straps over the
pipes.
2. Never expose the pipe to Open Flame while trying to bend it.
3. Do not drop pipes on edges from heights. Do not drop heavy
objects on pipes or walk on pipes.
4. Do not dilute Solvent Cement with Thinners /MTO or any
other liquid etc.
5. Do not use air or gases for pressure testings.
6. Do not use any other petroleum or solvent- based sealant,
adhesive, lubricant or fire stop material on CPVC pipes and
fittings.
7. Do not use CPVC Pipes & Fittings for pneumatic applications.
