ASTRAL Aquarius ASTM uPVC pipes and fittings are Lead Free and hence non toxic, easy to install and are made for life time trouble free service.

FEATURES & BENEFITS :

LEAD FREE :

ASTRAL Aquarius uPVC pipes being lead free so are non-toxic and hence favoured for use in applications such as potable water pipes.

SOLVENT CEMENT WELDING :

Solvent Cement welding is most reliable and proven joining system for 100% leakproof plumbing. Tools required are very simple and inexpensive (pipe cutter and chamfering tool only). It saves labour cost compared to GI and copper plumbing and saves on investment of electrical equipments for electro fusion welding of other polymers.

MORE PRESSURE BEARING CAPACITY :

ASTRAL Aquarius uPVC solvent joint plumbing system makes its pressure bearing capacity twice than that of the threaded pipe.

UV RESISTANT :

U.V. Acts as a strong catalyst for the oxidation process which breaks down the polymer chains, leading weakness in the pipes and fittings and do loss of hydrostatic strength. Above effect is very much common with materials like PP and PE.

SAFE FOR POTABLE WATER :

ASTRAL Aquarius uPVC pipes are made from Lead Free and non toxic raw material. ASTRAL Aquarius uPVC pipes are always safe for potable water.

OTHER FEATURES :

THE COMPLETE LOW NOISE SYSTEM – Trust what you hear Our unique ASTRAL SILENCIO low noise system is an innovative product made of mineral-reinforced polypropylene. This base material provides excellent mechanical and acoustic properties of ASTRAL SILENCIO. Made with a high molecular structure, which enables absorption of both airborne sound and structure borne sound. Sound energy does not spread over the pipe wall.

SOUND INSULATION BASICS :

One of the most significant sources of sound within building is the sanitation setup and the accompanying drainage water pipe system. Unsuitable drainage system and type of clamping are considerable contributors to disturbing noise.

TYPICAL SOURCES OF SOUND INCLUDE :

• Fitting noises
• Draining noises
• Inlet noises
• Impact noises

A differentiation is made between Airborne noise and Structure borne noise, depending on the propagation medium.

Airborne noise : Airborne noise is present if the noises of a sound source are transferred directly through the air to human ears.

Structure borne noise : With structure borne noise, the sound transfer first through a solid body. This body vibrates and passes the vibration on to human ears as airborne noise.

APPLICATION OF LOW NOISE ASTRAL SILENCIO :

In view of the excellent mechanical and acoustic properties, this system is suitable for all fields of building construction. The best solution for high-rise buildings

• Multistorey apartment
• Commercials
• Hotels
• Sport stadium
• Educational buildings
• Hospitals
• Entertainments

Astral Poly Technik Limited is proud to introduce the all new advanced ASTRAL CPVC PRO. A class apart in the category, ASTRAL CPVC PRO is more than just a hot and cold plumbing system. To us it is an initiative, to deliver a world class plumbing solution.

ASTRAL CPVC PRO pipes and fittings, manufactured by Astral Poly Technik Ltd., are made from the specialty plastic, chemically known as Chlorinated Poly Vinyl Chloride (CPVC). This CPVC compound shall meet cell class DP 110-2-3-2 as per IS 15778 and a maximum service temperature up to 93°C. This compound is carefully designed in our R & D and backed by our own expertise of manufacturing CPVC piping system from last 17 years, which will give excellent results in all applications for CPVC piping system. It is unique combination of highest impact resistance without any loss in pressure bearing capacity / Tensile strength or Vicat softening temperature. This will ensure best trouble free service and also stood notch above the initial installation issues of cracking / damages due to handling, storage and installation.

These Pipes are produced in copper tube size (CTS) from 15 mm (½”) to 50 mm (2”) with two different standard dimensional ratios - SDR-11 and SDR-13.5 (Class 1 & Class 2 respectively as per IS 15778) . The fittings are produced as per SDR 11. The Pipes and Fittings in SDR 11 class is also complies to ASTM standard. All Astral CPVC SDR 11 and SDR 13.5 pipes are made from identical CPVC compound material having same physical properties. The CPVC fittings are manufactured from compound material which meets all the requirement as per ASTM standard.

Apart from having the same physical properties, SDR 11 and SDR 13.5 which are having different wall thickness and therefore, at any given temperature, they have different pressure ratings. For e.g.

Grade	Unit	23°C	82°C
SDR 11	PSI	400	100
	Kg/cm2	28.1	7.0
SDR 13.5	PSI	320	80
