Barrier Pipes

Puriton®- a ‘Type A’ barrier pipe

Radius Systems’ Puriton® pipe is a multi-layer composite structure ‘Type A’ pipe, as defined in the newly published British Standard BS 8588 (‘Polyethylene pressure pipe with an aluminium layer and associated fittings for potable water supply in contaminated land’).

‘Type A’ Puriton® pipes are multi-layer pipes, where the black PE core is designed to accommodate the internal pressure and where the aluminium layer and the outer PE layer are respectively, the barrier and protection layers. Both outer layers do not contribute to the pipe’s overall pressure rating.
