Accelerator
An accelerator is mixed into the resin stored in the day
tanks. It may be delivered from producers in different
concentrations and may be diluted with styrene to
reach the required concentration needed for the
production of the Flowtite pipes.

Catalyst
The right amount of catalyst is mixed with the resin just
before application on the mandrel. Only approved
catalysts are used in the manufacturing process of the

6.7 UV Resistance
There is no ultraviolet degradation that affects the long
term service life of FLOWTITE pipes. The outermost
surface will be affected, and discolouring of the surface
can be observed. If so desired, the installing contractor
may paint the exterior surface of FLOWTITE pipe.
However, this will then become an item requiring future
maintenance. With its long and vast experience in the
Middle East under humid, desert conditions and in
Scandinavia in alternating dark and cold winters and
the use of above ground pipes for more than 30 years,
Flowtite does not have any evidence of a structural
effect of the radiation on the pipes

6.9 Temperature
Depending on the operating temperature and the type
of resin used in the production of the pipes and fittings,
the pressure class may be affected at high
temperatures. For details please contact your local
manufacturer. Special tailormade solutions for high
temperature applications are available on request.

Thrust Restraints
When the pipeline is pressurised, unbalanced thrust
forces occur at bends, reducers, tees, wyes, bulk heads
and other changes in line direction. These forces must
be restrained in some manner to prevent joint separation.
When the surrounding soil cannot provide this restraint,
thrust or stress/thrust blocks must be used. Determination
of need and design of these restraints is the responsibility
of the owners engineer subject to the following
limitations.
Thrust Blocks
Thrust blocks must limit the displacement of the fitting
relative to the adjacent pipe to preserve the leak
tightness of the FLOWTITE coupling joint. The resulting
angular deflection shall be less than the values indicated.

General instructions
Standard Flowtite pipes and fittings are joined by
double bell couplings that can only resist limited axial
thrust:
One of the most common methods of providing
resistance to thrust forces is the use of thrust blocks.
Resistance is provided by transferring the thrust force
to the soil through the larger bearing area of the block,
such that the resultant pressure against the soil does not
exceed the horizontal bearing strength of the soil.
Design of thrust blocks consists of determining the
appropriate bearing area of the block for a particular set
of conditions. The parameters involved in the design
include pipe size, design pressure, angle of the bend (or
configuration of the fitting involved), and the horizontal
bearing strength of the soil. The following are the general
criteria for bearing block design.

Combined Systems
Unbalanced thrust forces at fittings and changes of
direction can be resisted using the restraint joints
mentioned earlier. The pipes are tied together to
increase the frictional drag of the joined pipes and
resist the fitting thrust. This thrust will gradually
decrease to a zero value at a distance L called the
restrained length. Beyond this restrained length L the
pipe will not see any thrust and therefore a standard
joint can be used.
AWWA M-45 chapter 7 gives the equations to calculate
the restrained length.
