bluforce rj Polymer alloy pipes with restraint system

FITT Bluforce RJ Why the restraint system? The evolution of the innovative polymer alloy pipe, now available with an integrated restraint system The experience acquired in recent years with the production and promotion of the polymer alloy technology has confirmed the need to supply market players with a premium-quality product that is also capable of satisfying the highest technical-application standards in both the integrated water resources management market and the irrigation sector. The overall expenditure for important projects such as water supply pipelines, sewage lifting stations...

FITT has always cooperated with operators in the water cycle market in an effort to develop products capable of solving various necessities: in actual fact, this innovation was developed by incorporating the requests of designers and technicians of the managing bodies. In 2020 FITT Bluforce RJ obtains the certification Kiwa Quality thanks to which, based on type tests as well as the periodic inspections conducted by Kiwa, is deemed compliant with the requirements of the Technical Document Ki-0410 Rev. 11, Annex K75 Rev. 02 and therefore marked KQ. Kiwa certification was issued in agreement...

the solution? FITT Bluforce RJ FITT Bluforce RJ, – where “RJ” refers to “restraint joint” – can solve a series of necessities concerning both the design and laying phases, besides ensuring durable operation. For designers it is far easier to design pipelines with restraint systems that do not require complex calculations to create thrust blocks; moreover, with the same type of pipe they can create sections that require mechanical seals and sections that do not require this technology. Likewise, the company will have an easier task in laying the pipes, as they do not require external joints...

PE100 PVC-U PVC-A Ductile Iron The FITT Bluforce RJ technology adds tensile PE100 strength to the properties that already characterise FITT Bluforce: the external diameter being equal, PVC-U FITT Bluforce RJ has an improved hydraulic section compared to other thermoplastic products normally used to convey drinkable water under pressure; ENHANCED FLOW RATE (liter/second) 100 Ductile Iron The external diameter being equal, FITT Bluforce RJ has an improved hydraulic section compared to other thermoplastic products normally used to convey drinkable water under pressure; PVC-U PVC-A PE100...

the fitt bluforce epd - Environmental Product Declaration FITT Bluforce is the first PVC-A product range to achieve EPD® marking in Europe. This is the environmental product declaration that provides certified data on the life cycle of products, following the ISO 14025 and EN 15804:2012 + A2:2019 international standards. The FITT Bluforce range provides utilities and freelance professionals with a wide range of solutions for infrastructural networks, now also completed with certified information on product environmental footprint. FITT Bluforce and FITT Bluforce RJ meet the requirements for...

A Third verifier in accordance with: ISO 14025:2006. THE ADVANTAGES OF THE EPD® CERTIFICATION Is international The Bluforce and Bluforce RJ EPD® is a certified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD®) that lists environmental data on the life cycle of Bluforce products, in accordance with international standard ISO 14025. Is reliable The Bluforce and Bluforce RJ EPD® is based on the scientific principles of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and is awarded following an independent assessment. Is transparent The Bluforce range environmental product declaration data are calculated and presented...

the fitt bluforce epd - Environmental Product Declaration ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE AND USE OF RESOURCES The Bluforce range EPD® contains an analysis of a set of impact categories, therefore offering a wide view of the potential environmental impacts, from climate changes to impacts associated with the use of water. • Depletion of abiotic resources-elements (kg Sb equiv.): measures impacts associated with the consumption of minerals, metals, and similar materials; • Depletion of abiotic resources-fossil fuels (MJ): is a measure of the consumption of non-renewable energy sources; •...

Pressure and tensile test The entire FITT Bluforce RJ restrained pipe range has been subjected to 1,000-hour regression tests according to EN 1452 with internal pressures suitable for Mpa of project extensively passing the tests without no leakage or breakage. INTERNAL PRESSURE [bar] TEST AT 1,000 HOURS PN 16 Thanks to the data obtained from the tensile tests it is possible identify the axial tightness of the anti-slip joint that equips FITT Bluforce RJ, with values that go from a minimum of about 42 kN for DN 90 PN 16 to a maximum of over 360 kN for DN 400 PN 20.

Bulldog SEALING SYSTEM ® FITT Bluforce RJ uses the socket-based jointing system with the seal mechanically hot-inserted in advance during the socket forming phase. The Bulldog® seal is made up of three elements that guarantee both the hydraulic and mechanical tightness of the joint: • EPDM rubber sealing ring conforming to the EN 681 standard, certified according to Ministerial Decree no. 174/2004 • GJS 450-10 ductile iron envelope with epoxy protection applied through cataphoresis • GJS 450-10 ductile iron mechanical sealing ring with epoxy protection applied through cataphoresis. This hot...
