Product tolerances

All information on our website is provided without guarantee. In the interests of technical progress, we reserve the right to make changes and improvements without prior notice.

When producing our products, we comply with the relevant standards in terms of geometric dimensions, tolerances and quality requirements. For example, DIN EN 1555 is decisive for piping systems in the gas supply sector. In water supply, as well as for drainage and wastewater pressure pipes, DIN EN 12201.

If you require specific tolerances, please feel free to contact us.

You can receive a customized drawing with approval.

Screw torques

The correct torque is essential for the safe and tight assembly of flange connections, as it prevents leaks, avoids damage to PE pipes, flanges or gaskets and ensures even load distribution to withstand pressure loads.

The following table lists the recommended screw torques from DVS guideline 2210-1. The values are permissible for all flange types. Due to the larger contact surface between the backing ring and plastic flange in the case of the KS flange and special flange connection, an excess of up to 30% is permissible for the aforementioned connections.

Pressure resistance for PE100 and PE100-RC

The pressure resistance of polyethylene (PE) pipe systems is determined by the pressure rating (PN - “Pression Nominale”) and the minimum wall thickness (SDR - “Standard Dimension Ratio”).

The specified operating pressures apply to an operating temperature of 20°C.

Fittings with reduction factor

In addition to our pressure class-conform fittings , you also find fittings with a reduction factor (ƒB) in our range. These must be operated with a reduced pressure load.

The maximum permissible component operating pressure PFA (20° C water) is calculated using the formula PFA = PN × ƒB.

You can recognize our products with a reduction factor by the following symbols:

reduction factor 0,5
STAR-Piping-Systems-Icon-minderungsfaktor06-blau-(600x600px)
