CIBSE VIC | Roll Grooved Pipe Jointing and System Movement Design

Presentation Title: Roll Grooved Pipe Jointing and System Movement Design

Presentation Summary

The inherent speed and ease of the roll grooved pipe joining method accelerated adoption in commercial construction. In this seminar, Scott Harvey from Victaulic will present the benefits of roll grooved pipe jointing methodology and system design movement and why the technology has had such a positive impact in the HVAC industry.

Noise and Vibration Attenuation

Mechanical room equipment creates noise and vibration in a piping system, which can be difficult to contain. Designers can specify the use of Victaulic couplings to isolate this vibration.

In addition, Victaulic flexible couplings will also accommodate for misalignment, reduce stress on pumps and equipment connections, and accommodate linear movement and angular deflection in a piping system

Accommodating Thermal Movement

Some of the most damaging affects to a piping system can be the result of not accommodating for movement. For example, temperature changes can exert dangerous and damaging reactive forces on pipe components and equipment

• They provide an expansion joint utilizing grooved mechanical pipe components
• They allow the system to “free-float”
• They utilize the linear movement/deflection capabilities of flexible grooved couplings
• They provide an expansion loop utilizing grooved mechanical components

Accommodating Seismic Movement

The main approach to piping a building to accommodate seismic activity is to use a rigid piping system that will minimize overall piping movement. Typically, more than 95 percent of the grooved couplings used in a piping system will be rigid, while the remainder will be flexible couplings. Why is that important? Because too much swing could affect other pipes and equipment, despite being within the capability of the grooved coupling. The key to effectively accommodating movement in a building is to allow controlled movement and that can be done with grooved technology

This session will be presented by Scott Harvey from Victaulic.

Operating Nationally, but predominately in New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia within the construction industry, servicing the building services, industrial, infrastructure and water markets, Scott is responsible for liaising and visiting building owners, engineering consultants, contractors, suppliers and the like to promote the Victaulic piping systems / solutions to the market and help find the right technical solutions.

This seminar will provide 1.5 hours of CIBSE CPD in the following areas of competency:

• Facilities Management
• Hydraulics
• Mechanical
• Risk Management
• Safety
