INTRODUCTIONASTRAL have been relentless in its

commitment to quality and service. Through

the years, ASTRAL have broadened and

enhanced its product line to better serve

the customers. ASTRAL was first to

Introduced Flowguard CPVC pipes and

fittings , ASTRAL Aquarius uPVC Lead Free

pipes and fittings, ASTRAL Foamcore Pipes and DWV

Click ring type fittings in Indian Market.

Repeting is tradition of introducing new products First Time in

Indian Market, ASTRAL is proud to introduce Lead Free and

Heavy Metal free uPVC column pipes in Indian Market which is

WHY PVC FOR COLUMN PIPES ?For many years, Metal pipes have been used with submersible

pumps to get the water from ground. These pipes are corrode and

scaled in their life span and giving troubles to the owner in terms of

qty of water and also the pumping cost. PVC has excellent chemicaland corrosion resistance to a broad range of fluids. So PVC can give

trouble free service for many years.

100% safe for drinking water application. In other term, ASTRAL

column pipes keep the water clean from the source itself and not

contributing to any toxicity to the water.

Astral Column Pipes are available in 1 (33 mm OD) to 4 (114 mm

OD) with different class like V4-12.5 Kg, Medium, Standard, Heavy

and Super Heavy with all standard accessories like Top-Bottom

Adapters Sets, Pump Guards, Lowering Jigs etc.

As the full line manufacturer of CPVC &uPVC piping system for

residential and industrial applications, Astral can be your one stop

source for all the plastic piping required for lifetime piping

solutions.

Secondly, among all thermoplastics also, PVC is the material which

can be compounded and modify keeping in the mind of special

characteristics required for pipes to be used with submersible

pumps. This versatility is not observed with other thermoplasticslike Polyethylene (PE). Hence PVC contributes to major usage as

piping material globally.

WHY ASTRAL COLUMN PIPES ?ASTRAL column pipes have been developed as a result of ASTRAL's

constant endeavor to develop superior yet economical piping

solution for submersible pumps. The compound has been

developed at ASTRAL's R & D lab after many trials and constant

research with the help of Japanese technology. ASTRAL's expertise

in introducing better compound in Indian Market, comes true yet

another time with introducing completely Eco Friendly lead and

heavy metal free column pipes.

The raw material such developed is processed in state of the art

machines which contribute to highest pipe quality with most

accurate dimensions. Then Pipes will be threaded in very high tech

CNC machines which are very essential for performance of column

pipes. The thread geometry is such designed that it will give highest

strength against vertical column load as well as pressure developed

due to pump operation.

LEAD FREE & HEAVY METAL FREE COMPOUNDAstral Column pipes have been manufactured using Lead free and

Heavy Metal free compound in other word Astral Column pipes

are completely Eco Friendly. Pipes will not pollute the ground water

and will keep it safe for leaching of carsegenic material like Lead.

SPECIAL COMPOUNDASTRAL Column pipes are manufactured from METAL FREE uPVC

compound material especially developed by using JAPANESE

TECHNOLOGY to sustain best column loads, pressure and also

encounters the high impact developed during handling, storage and

installation. Due to this special compound the TENSILE property of

pipe increase which is being tested rigorously using modern testing

equipment.

STUD LOCK SYSTEMEvery pipe is fitted with coupler having Stud Lock a unique system

developed by ASTRAL, which ensures that during installation,

application or removal of system, the coupler will never dethread

from the pipe.

STUD LOCK SYSTEM EPDM O RING SQUARE THREAD

DOUBLE LOCKING SYSTEMAstral is the only company in India giving double locking system

which gives highest safety and reliability of the system. Apart from

stud pin lock system, pipes and couplers are joined with special

joining compound which makes lifetime permanent joint without

affecting the thread dimensional stability in longer service life.

ANNEALING ON PIPESEvery pipe is annealed during manufacturing which is a very special

technique developed by ASTRAL. This will really enhanced the

mechanical properties of pipes which make sure that the pipes will

perform best during application.

100% HYGIENIC / SAFE FOR DRINKING WATERSupply of drinking water is 100% hygienic and safe as being pumped

through ASTRAL uPVC column pipes manufactured from special

METAL FREE compound right from the origin of water source

beneath under the earth at maximum depth.

UNIQUE FEATURES

SQUARE THREADS :Unique square threads made on CNC machines provide sufficient

grip and additional strength against tensile load. Thus the joint

become fairly strong with sufficient factor of safety to take care of

load of entire assembly with pump weight. These specially designed

threads also make it suitable for easy fitment.

THIN AND THICK PROCESS :The pipe ends are specially given the effect of additional wall

thickness by using Thin & Thick process to compensate the strength

and load bearing capacity caused due to threading of pipes. The

effect of Thin & Thick is given to all sizes considering the working

conditions & load factor.

EPDM 'O' RING :Specially designed "O" rings provided on the threads makes the

joints watertight and absorb pump vibrations. These O rings are

made from EPDM rubber which is most suitable for drinking water

option.

HANDLING AND STORAGE

The pipe should be handled with reasonable care. Because

Column Pipes are much lighter in weight than metal pipe. There is

sometimes a tendency to throw it around. This should be avoided.

The pipe should never be dragged or pushed from a truck bed.

Pallets for pipe should be removed with a fork lift. Loose pipe can be

rolled down timbers, as long as the pieces do not fall on each other or

on any hard or uneven surface. In all cases, severe contact with any

sharp objects (rocks, angle irons, forks on forklifts, etc.) should be

avoided.

STORAGEIf possible, pipe should be stored inside. When this is not

possible, the pipe should be stored on level ground which is dry and

free from sharp objects. If different schedules of pipes are stacked

together, the pipe with the thickest walls should be at the bottom.

The pipe should be protected from the sun and be in an area

with proper ventilation. This will lessen the effects of ultraviolet rays

and help prevent heat built-up.

If the pipe is stored in racks, it should be continuously

supported along its length. If this is not possible, the spacing of the

supports should not exceed three feet (3).

When storage temperatures are below 0C (32F), extra care

should be taken when handling the pipe. This will help prevent any

problems which could be caused by the slightly lower impact

strength of uPVC pipe at temperature below freezing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSABOUT ASTRAL COLUMN PIPE1. Why Lead Free Column Pipes?

2. Why ASTRAL Column Pipes?

3. What is the expected life of ASTRAL Column Pipes?

4. What is the benefit of stud pin lock system in astral column

pipes?

5. Is unique feature of astral column pipe?

6. Why column pipe is not made in 6 mtr length?

7. How do you say that this is better than the traditional GI

pipes?

Lead is a metal with no known biological benefit to humans.

Too much lead can damage various systems of the body

including the nervous and reproductive systems and thekidneys, and it can cause high blood pressure and anemia.

Lead accumulates in the bones and lead poisoning may be

diagnosed from a blue line around the gums. Lead is

especially harmful to the developing brains of fetuses and

young children and to pregnant women. Lead interferes with

the metabolism of calcium and Vitamins D. High blood lead

levels in children can cause consequences which maybe

irreversible including learning disabilities, behavioral

problems, and mental retardation. At very high levels, lead

can cause convulsions, coma and death. Lead can be

dissolved in water when lead pipes are used for

transportation of water. So use of such pipes may be harmful

to human being. So, lead free column pipes are recommended

for drawing pure and safe water from bone wells.

Astral is pioneers in India for introducing new plumbing

systems since its inception. Astral Column pipes comprises of

life long trouble free service with its unique features like Lead

free, Stud Pin Lock, Double Locking with Special Adhesive,Annealing on pipes etc. Astral column pipes are most advanced

column pipes available in Indian Market today.

ASTRAL Column Pipe system des ign & standards

incorporate significant engineering safety factors which

should translate to a long service life ASTRAL Column Pipe

System have a design service life span up to 50 years. ASTRAL

Column Pipe System is not susceptible to corrosion, scale build

up or electrolysis in areas where water, solid and / or

atmospheric conditions are aggressive. ASTRAL firmly

believes that the system will provide a service life as long or

longer than alternative materials in the market.

STUD PIN LOCK SYSTEM will give more grips to pipe and coupler

while installing and retrieval time. By joining the coupler it

makes one end male Thread and other end Female Thread.

This system is user friendly and EXTRA safety in long run.

Especially designed THIN AND THICK process for more safety of

threads, LEAD AND METAL FREE product made in India for

the 1st time, also exported to abroad.

Depends on gravitational calculations and bendable radius of

pipe considered and not made in 6 mtrs length.

This is lesser in weight, easy installation, low manpower

required, no rust after any number of years, this will give long

run and generations will use the pipe, economy, regular

availability of raw material, no friction loss, this will support

motor, take less load and give expandable life, no electro

leakage and finally users can use in full depth also with full

confidence.

8. Are you sure that plastic pipe will take a full load of motor and

pump including water inside the pipe?

9. What is the capacity on plastic threads?

10. How the selection of the Pipes to be done ?

11. Will ASTRAL Column Pipes Save me Money?

12. If situation demands is it advisable rethreading at site?

13. Is it necessary to provide Full casing in the bore for column

pipes?

14. Is it possible to recover water pump from borewell, in case of

bone failures?

Yes, this PVC column pipes are made with specially designed

square threads, a new technology to sustain the load andpressure at full capacity.

The threads are designed in square to give more sustaining

capacity, depends on the lowering depth. The breakable load

and safe chain pulley load etc. are considered on depth and

pressure rating of the pipe. Any HP Motor and Pump can be

installed according to this formula scientifically, Technological

Methodology.

The pipes can be selected based on the depth of the bore well,

pump delivery head and maximum allowable pressure of the

pipes. ASTRAL manufacture different pressure class pipes for

different lowering depths which mostly cater all different

requirements worldwide. ASTRAL range of pipes is successfully

installed up to 1100 ft. Contact out Sales Team / Technical

support team for further details.

Yes, ASTRAL column pipes are much cheaper than Metal pipes.

Also these pipes offer superior performance due to its higher

Hazen William Factor (C= 150). It is not susceptible to

corrosion, scales build up and hence gives 2 0-25 % more water

even in long service of life. In other terms it also saves money

for power consumption on pumps.

No, it is not allowed to cut or rethread the pipes on site. These

pipes are threaded on highly sophisticated CNC machines with

highest dimensional accuracy. This type of perfection is not

possible at site. Also ASTRAL has complete range of pipes with

different lengths of pipe so in most of the cases such

operations are not required at site.

It is not compulsory to provide the full casing to the ASTRAL

column pipes in normal conditions. But technically it is always

better to provide full casing to Column pipes which helps the

system performed better. Especially in the areas where loose

stones or bolders or loose soils are prevalent, full casing will

help to prevent the failure of bore.

It is possible to recover the pump and pipes by applying the

force equal or less than the ultimate breaking load. In the cases

where the higher forces are required, it is not possible to

recover the pipes or pumps.

Note:

Educate customer to DEMAND for TWO SIDES PIN LOCK

SYSTEM (STUD PIN LOCK SYSTEM) to prevent conversion to

other column pipes by multi product /brand sellers.
