Soluforce Classic

Soluforce Classic is designed for medium pressure applications such as oil flowlines, water flowlines and water injection lines.

Operating pressures can go up to 90 bar (1300 psi) for water applications in the 4” pipe dimension, and 72 bar (1050 psi) for the 5” pipe.

Soluforce Classic can also be used for dry gas up to 42 bars (610 psi).

1. 97.5% lower confidence limit at 65°C for 50 years according to ISO 9080 & ASTM 2992. 2. In normal situations gas transport and distribution takes place at temperatures below 20°C / 68°F (Buried in Soil). 3. Long term maximum service pressure. Value for 50 years lifecycle time at 20°C / 68°F. 4. Maximum allowed hydrotest pressure using water or dry gas. 5. Approximation of Natural gas capacity for a 20 km pipeline with MSP pressure at compression station and 20% pressure loss over the pipeline. 6. Connection by butt-welding of the liner pipe and then covered with an electrofused sleeve coupler. 7. Electrofused end-fitting sleeve with steel 316L pipe welding stub. 8. 97.5% lower confidence limit at 65°C for 20 years according to ISO 9080 & ASTM 2992. 9. Soluforce® pipe is not heated by the sun. The max. service temperature is the true fluid temperature or ambient temperature. 10. Long term maximum service pressure, higher peak pressures are allowed. Value for 20 years lifecycle time at 65°C / 150°F. 11. Maximum allowed peak pressure during short time i.e. well head shut-in pressure. This pressure does not effect the lifecycle time of 20 years. 12. Maximum allowed hydrotest pressure using water. 13. Approximation of liquid capacity at a liquid speed of 2 m/s / 6.6 ft/s. 14. Connection by butt-welding of the liner pipe and then covered with an electrofused sleeve coupler. End-fitting connection by an electrofusion sleeve and steel flange. 15. Electrofused end-fitting sleeve with steel 316L raised face ANSI 6” 600 pound dimensioned flange.
