ACU-GAS, SIMPLIFYING GAS PIPELINE INSTALLATIONS

Ensuring the safe transport of gaseous fuels is essential in the gas distribution sector, where integrity is paramount.

Acu-Gas HDPE pipe stands out as the preferred system for underground natural and LP gas mains, as well as distribution pipelines.

With extensive experience and established relationships with gas-fitters and utilities, Acu-Tech provides comprehensive support, training, and advisory services, offering complete package solutions

Key Features & Benefits

• Approved for below ground installations under AS 5601-2004: Gas Installations
• Full yellow coating for clear identification
• Electrofusion or butt fusion jointing method creates a completely homogeneous joint which is stronger than the pipe itself.
• Integrity and durability proven in the field by utilities Australia wide.
• Flexibility of pipe allows cold bending to accommodate minor changes in direction, and also accommodates ground movement.
• Manufactured to AS/NZS 4130 “Polyethylene – PE – pipes for pressure applications” and AS/NZS 4129 “Fittings for polyethylene (PE) pipes for pressure applications”
• Acu-Gas is available in 20, 40, 63, 110, 160 and 225 mm diameters as standard stock items. Larger sizes made to order.
• Coils of up to 100 metres are available in 20, 40, 63 and 110 mm diameters, vastly reducing the amount of joints in a pipeline
• The relatively light weight of Acu-Gas makes it easy to transport, handle and install, offering overall project savings.
• Electrofusion fittings can be used to weld gas pipe lengths, including using mechanical tapping bands, gas tapping saddles and branch saddles.
• Very high safety factor: According to AS5601-2004, operating limit is 200 kPa, whereas the hydrostatic design pressure for Acu-Gas SDR11 pipe is 2000 kPa (before safety factor).
• Live main self-tapping electrofusion tapping saddle fittings available for “hot tap-ins”.
• Electrofusion welding equipment can be used for joining HDPE gas pipe, as well as HDPE pipe scrapers or turbo pipe scrapers, isopropyl welding wipes, and towing heads for HDD.
• Gas flow through Acu-Gas pipe can be stopped by using a “squeeze-off” tool, where interruption is required for emergency, repair or tee-in operations etc.
