How can pipe selection increase energy loss?

What projects should consider HDPE as an option? While carbon steel and stainless steel have long been the go-to options, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pressure piping has quickly emerged as a flexible and easy-to-manage alternative, particularly for projects involving water systems and treatment, cooling systems, corrosive liquids and seismic rated construction. How can pipe selection increase …

Full Face Flange

Secure your critical pipe connections with Full Face Flanges. Designed to cover the entire flange face, including bolt holes, these flanges are the industry standard for creating robust, flat-faced connections between Poly Pipe and other materials, such as valves, pumps, or steel pipework. Undrilled option also available. Why choose our Full Face Flange? Fabrication isn’t …

Stub Flanges

Stub Flanges are essential fittings in piping systems that demand strength, flexibility, and reliability. Designed for pipelines that require a demountable joint, Stub Flanges allow for future disassembly, maintenance, or system upgrades. These fittings deliver a secure and effective solution, whether you’re joining pipes to valves, vessels, or different materials. At Advanced Piping Systems, we …

Valve Spacers (BW)

Valve spacers are a useful addition when flanging to wafer and lugged butterfly valves, or wafer check valves. The spacer provides an enlarged working zone in front of the stub flange face for the valve disk or flaps to move freely, whilst maintaining the integrity and pressure rating of the pipeline, valve and flange set. …

Short Radius Bends 90 Degree

Short radius bends 90 SDR11 are the trimmest and most high-performance fully injection moulded bends available. These bends may also be referred to by piping designers as: 90-degree elbows, long radius bends, or One-D bends (1 x D bends). This is because the radius of the bend is the same as the diameter of the …

Buttweld Reducers

Buttweld reducers play a crucial role in pipeline systems by seamlessly connecting pipes and fittings of varying diameters while maintaining optimal flow dynamics. In particular, buttweld concentric reducers are designed to provide a smooth, symmetrical transition between different pipe sizes, ensuring efficient fluid movement. These reducers taper evenly, allowing for a direct in-line conical transition …

Eccentric Reducers

SDR11 Short spigot or buttweld eccentric reducers, SDR11 are an extremally useful way of gaining height or fall within the original pipe diameter. Reducing on a level plain be it on the top or bottom of the pipe. In horizontal intakes or pump suction piping, it is best to install the reduction level with the …

Step Reducers

The Advanced Piping Systems PE100 stepped concentric reducers, also known as wedding cake reducers, give you four reduction options in one simple fitting. With the unpredictability of maintenance and project construction, many contractors will keep a few of each reducer available as backup to cover unexpected situations. The stepped reducer will give you immediate flexibility …

Buttweld Shouldered Ends

PE100 shoulder ends give a new choice of connection and easy disconnection, particularly in the mining industry. Not to be confused with roll grooves, shouldered systems are normally utilised with steel pipe systems. We understand the need for flexibility, and noting the demand for two bolt clamps, we designed a weldable end to suit the …

Galvanised Shouldered Couplings

Advanced Piping shouldered clamps are manufactured from quality cast iron, then hot dip galvanised to provide longevity in their typical environment, which includes being dragged around a coal long wall, gold decline, or a dewatering bore on an open cut mine. The couplings final dimensions are very critical to connecting and sealing the two shouldered …

Galvanised Quick Release Shouldered Couplings

Our galvanised quick release shouldered couplings are built for fast and reliable pipe connections. They offer all the benefits of traditional bolted shouldered couplings, but with much quicker assembly and disassembly. This saves time and reduces labour costs on-site. No tools, bolts, or nuts are needed. To install, simply stretch the gasket over the shouldered …
