CALPEX district heating pipe

Product catalog summary
System Description
The CALPEX district heating pipe is designed for various applications including district heating networks, industrial uses, and water systems. It features a PEXa carrier pipe known for its corrosion resistance and flexibility, reducing the need for joints and trench width.
Range of Applications
CALPEX pipes operate continuously at 80°C with pressures of 6 bar for heating and 10 bar for sanitary applications.
Technical Specifications
The PEXa pipe has a density of 932-935 kg/m³ and thermal conductivity of 0.38 W/mK, with tensile strengths of 18 N/mm² at 20°C and 8 N/mm² at 80°C, manufactured according to EN 15632-1/-2 standards.
Thermal Insulation and Protective Casing
Insulation is made from CFC-free polyurethane foam, with a protective casing of LLD-PE for mechanical protection.
Long-term Behaviour and Lifetime Calculation
The lifetime is calculated using Miner’s Rule with a safety factor of 1.25, based on 32,000 hours of testing.
Product Ranges
  • CALPEX UNO: Dimensions Ø 76 - 202 mm for coils and Ø 250 mm for straight lengths.
  • CALPEX DUO: Similar dimensions for dual pipe systems.
  • CALPEX QUADRIGA: Combines heating and sanitary applications.
Pressure and Heat Loss Charts
Charts detail pressure loss and heat loss for UNO and DUO pipes at various temperatures.
Installation and Components
Includes instructions on pipe routing, trench dimensions, and installation tools, specifying components like house entry bends and sealing rings.
Insulation Material
Specifies PE foam and PUR foam for shrink joints and CALPEX shells, with dimensions for common pipe diameters.
Safety Regulations

CALPEX district heating pipe 1 MPA = 10 bar Long-term behaviour: (table) The values have a safety factor of 1.25 and are based on a series of measurements covering an average of 32,000 hours. They can be compared with Table 5 as per DIN 16893. All values have been tested and confirmed by the competent organizations in various countries. The max. operating temperature is 95 °C but considers a short-term over temperature (fault temperature) of 110 °C. A typical fluctuating temperature distribution for the flow in a district heating system gives an average temperature/year of approx. 66 °C. Lifetime...
