The Most Robust, Cost-Effective, and Easy-to-Install Piping System Available, for Pressures up to 1015 PSI
Unipipe Solutions, an industrial piping sector, highlights the UnipipeHP Aluminum Piping System for High-Pressure Compressed Air Applications. The UnipipeHP is an advanced aluminum piping system specifically engineered for the highest-pressure applications. Featuring a robust design and superior performance, the UnipipeHP system is rated for up to 1015 PSI (70 BAR). It is cost-effective and easy to install and maintain, making it ideal for various demanding applications, including multi-fluid systems, high-pressure compressed air, and nitrogen systems.
UnipipeHP sets itself apart with its heavy wall tubing and rigorous inspection standards, ensuring reliability and safety. The fittings for UnipipeHP are identical in design to those of the standard UnipipeAIR system, rated for 232 PSI (15 BAR), maintaining consistency while offering enhanced pressure capabilities. The UnipipeHP system is available in sizes up to 2-½” (63mm), while the UnipipeAIR system is available in sizes up to 10” (250mm). This flexibility allows for the completion of even the largest projects without the need for specialized tools or skilled labor.
One of the standout features of the Unipipe system, including UnipipeHP, is its unique stainless steel gripping ring. This innovative design ensures quick and secure installation without the need for special tools, crimping, or grooving. The installation process takes half the time of traditional piping options and is significantly faster than copper piping. The system’s lightweight nature—75% lighter than iron pipe—allows for single-person installation of systems up to 6 inches in diameter.
Unipipe systems boast the most secure fittings in the market. The proprietary stainless steel clamp ring in every fitting bites into the aluminum pipe, creating a connection rated for over five times the pressure of other systems. This clamp ring ensures 100% contact around the pipe, tightening further as pressure increases. Additionally, a plastic ring identifies the fluid and working pressure for each system, enhancing usability and safety.
In terms of cost-effectiveness, Unipipe systems provide the lowest cost of ownership. When considering both material and labor costs, Unipipe proves to be the most economical choice, saving 30% to 40% over traditional piping methods.
Unipipe systems are suitable for ultra-clean environments and outperform traditional piping methods such as black iron pipe and copper. Black iron pipe is heavy, prone to internal rusting, and labor-intensive to install, while copper is both expensive and slow to install. In contrast, Unipipe systems are faster, easier to install, lighter in weight, and ideally suited for compressed air applications.
Unipipe systems are ideal for ultra-clean environments and Unipipe fittings are universally compatible with most other aluminum systems currently on the market, ensuring a seamless integration process. All Unipipe pipe and fittings come with a 20-year guarantee against manufacturer’s defects, provided they are installed and supported according to the Unipipe installation instructions.
