Series 867 ID Controlled Weld-On Flange Submittal

ID Controlled Flange Transition Fitting

The Poly-Cam ID-Controlled Flange Transition is a restraining, multi-level barbed transition fitting. This design allows a non-reducing, smoothbore transition between the HDPE and steel pipe. It is hydraulically compressed into the polyethylene or pipe quality copolymer material.

Design

The Poly-Cam ID-Controlled Flange transition is designed to provide a smooth, interior transition between the steel pipe and the polyethylene pipe. The connection between the steel fitting and the polyethylene pipe is accomplished with a multi-level barb system and a compression ring supporting the connection. The multi-level barb system provides the sealing connection between the steel and the polyethylene pipe. The interior of the fitting contains no sharp edges in which pipeline cleaning pigs can be caught or damaged. The weld-on is coated with an epoxy coating. The compression ring is constructed out of carbon steel material and coated with an epoxy-coated material.

  • Tested and complies to ASTM D2513 Category 1, ASTM 1973-05, D1599, D1598
  • Sizes range from .5” to 24” in both Carbon, 304, and 316 stainless steel pipes.
  • Flange dimensions to ANSI B16.5. Available in standard pound rating: 150, 300, and 600. Raised and smooth face designs available upon request.

System Performance

The transition fitting is designed to handle the pressure rating of the HDPE pipe with a 2:1 safety factor at 73.40 degrees Fahrenheit with a minimum 50 year design life.

Quality Assurance

The transition fitting shall be manufactured by Poly-Cam, Inc. Poly-Cam, Inc. shall provide quality assurance with regards to proper installation, compatibility, performance, and acceptance. Transition joint meets or exceeds the requirements of ASTM D2513 Category 1.

Installation

HDPE pipe end: Install transition fitting so as to comply with the pipe manufacturer’s recommended procedures. All field welds shall be accomplished in accordance with Plastic Pipe Institute’s welding procedure for butt fusion.
