1 speed••pipe®
1.1 speed•pipe® Ø 7x0.75, Ø 10x1.0 and Ø 12x1.1

1.1.1 Application range of the products

®
The speed•pipe is used for expanding existing cable-duct-systems without any underground engineering.

1.1.2 Design and form

®
The speed•pipe is produced in extrusion procedures. They have to show a smooth surface corresponding
to the manufacturing technology. Negligible corrugated grooves and thereby caused inhomogeneities in the
wall thickness which do not fall below the nominal wall thickness, are acceptable.
®
The basic material of the speed•pipe is translucent, at which the outer surface is divided in 4 equal quarters.
The colour arrangement is effected in two quarters, which face each other by 180°. For minimising the
®
friction which arises during blowing-in a micro-cable into the speed•pipe , the inner surface of the
speed•pipe is furnished with an optimised number of grooves (7 x 0.75: 35 grooves; ; ∅ 10 x 1.0: 63
®
®
grooves; 12 x 1.1: 79 grooves) in axis direction of the speed•pipe , which assures a minor dynamic friction of
the micro-cable to be blown in.

The delivery is effected on wooden one-way drums with the dimensions 1200 x 380 mm.
Delivery length: at Ø 7 x 0.75: 5.000 m / drum 15.000 m / pallet

1.3 Pressure test

1.3.1 Burst pressure

®
The speed•pipe has to be charged at a temperature of 23° C with a pressure pump for manual use until it
bursts. Here the minimum burst pressure strength must amount to:

Duct Burst pressure

®
speed•pipe 7 x 0.75 min. 30 bar

®
For each delivered speed•pipe -drum an admission and pressure test has to be carried out. At this the drum
has to be furnished with one pressure gauge at the initial part of the drum and one at the end of the drum.
After having opened the compressed air intake both pressure gauges must indicate 3 bar within the blowing-
in time mentioned in the table below. If this is not the case the product has to be withdrawn.
As soon as both pressure gauges indicate 3 bar, the air supply must be disconnected and there may not
occure any pressure drop caused by volume or temperature modifications bigger than 0.3 bar within 15
minutes.

1.4 Material testing

1.4.1 Internal pressure creep rupture

®
The testing method according to EN 921 has to be used for determinating the stability of a speed•pipe in
countercurrent with constant internal pressure at 80° C. The testing conditions must be chosen accord ing to
®
DIN 8075. In this the speed•pipe has to be tested at a temperature of 80° C with a test stress of 4 N/mm²
and a minimum resisting time of 170 hours. The testing pressure is to calculate on basis of the minimum
wall thickness and the average outer diameter as follows:

2 x smin. x δ s min = min. wall thickness

Pressure = ---------------- d = average outer diameter
d – smin δ = wall tension
®
Following test conditions are in use for the gabocom speed•pipe :
7 x 0.75 = approx. 9.5 bar / 80° C / 170 hours wi thout burst
10 x 1.0 = approx. 9.0 bar / 80° C / 170 hours wi thout burst
12 x 1.1 = approx. 8.0 bar / 80° C / 170 hours wi thout burst
10 x 2.0 = approx. 20.0 bar / 80° C / 170 hours wi thout burst
12 x 2.0 = approx. 16.0 bar / 80° C / 170 hours wi thout burst

1.4.2 Longitudinal reversion after heat treatment

The test has to be carried out according to DIN 8075. The average relative shrinking in length of the test
items must not amount to more than 3 % after having carried out the heat treatment.

1.4.3 Homogeneity
Inhomogeneities like bubbles, shrinkage holes and impurities must not be bigger than 0.02 mm².
Test:
Out of three test items (duct segments) of one production quantity at least one microtome cut with a
thickness of approx. 10 µm is drawn diagonally to the duct axis. At a 10 to 40 times magnification, the size
and the character of the microtome cuts are tested for possible imperfections, whereas the collected total
area must not be smaller than 100 mm².
In case of inhomogeneities > 0.02 mm², the test has to be extended for three more test items. If there occur
again inhomogeneities > 0.02 mm² during this test, the respective production range has to be withdrawn.

1.4.4 MFI-comparison between raw material and speedpipe

The test has to be effected according to DIN EN ISO 1133 – MFI (190/5).
Caused by converting the raw material to a gabocom speed•pipe, a modification of the MFI value up to
0.2 g/10 min is acceptable.
If the measuring result of the MFI value diverges more than 0.2 g/10 min from the raw material inbound and
the measurement at the gabocom speed•pipe, an immediate test of the raw material out of the particular
extruder has to be carried out.
If again a bigger deviation than 0.2 g/10 min. is detected, the affected production quantity has to be
withdrawn.

1.5 Testing the speed•pipe

1.5.1 Tensile strength

®
A speed•pipe of 200 mm clamping length has to be charged in tension with a universal testing machine with
a speed of 100 mm/min. until it breaks. On basis of the recorded diagram it has to be determined if, with the
load limit mentioned below, the force at the elastic limit has been exceeded. The load limit must be lower
than the force at the tensile stress at yield.

1.5.2 Crushing strength for speed•pipe-ground

The test has to be carried out according to EN 50086-2-4. In this a duct pattern of 220 mm length has to be
compressed in a universal testing machine between two parallel gauging surfaces with a speed of 3 mm/min.
for ± 0.5 mm per minute. The force at a vertical deformation of the cross-section of the duct at 15 % of the
average value of the original inner diameter has to be recorded.

In case of a deformation of 15 % the applied force at least has to amount to:

1.5.3 Ovality
Before coiling, a maximum ovality of 0.2 mm (at Ø 12 of 0.3 mm) is acceptable.
®
The speed•pipe has to be winded around a mandril with a radius R 70 (Ø 7), R 100 (Ø 10) and R 120 (Ø
12) at a temperature of 23°C ± 2. The difference o f the outer diameter of the duct between the uncoiled and
