ASTRAL® have been relentless in its commitment to quality

and service. Through the years, ASTRAL® have broadened

and enhanced its product line to better serve the

customers. ASTRAL® was first to Introduced Flowguard™

Plus CPVC pipes and fittings, ASTRAL Aquarius® uPVC “Lead

Free” pipes and fittings, ASTRAL Foamcore® Pipes and

DWV® Click ring type fittings in Indian Market.

Repeting is tradition of introducing new products First Time

in Indian Market, ASTRAL® is proud to introduce “Lead

Free” and “Heavy Metal free” uPVC Column pipes in Indian

Market which is 100% safe for drinking water application.

INTRODUCTIONIn other term, ASTRAL Column Pipes keep the water clean

from the source itself and not contributing to any toxicity

to the water.

ASTRAL Column Pipes are available in 1” (33 mm OD) to 4”

(114 mm OD) with different class like V4‐12.5 Kg, ECO,

Medium, Standard, Heavy and Super Heavy with all

standard accessories like Top‐Bottom Adapters Sets, Pump

Guards, Lowering Jigs etc.

As the full line manufacturer of CPVC & uPVC piping system

for residential and industrial applications, ASTRAL® can be

your one stop source for all the plastic piping required for

lifetime piping solutions.

For many years, Metal pipes have been used with

submersible pumps to get the water from ground. These

pipes are corrode and scaled in their life span and giving

troubles to the owner in terms of qty of water and also the

pumping cost. PVC has excellent chemical and corrosion

resistance to a broad range of fluids. So PVC can give

trouble free service for many years.

WHY uPVC FOR COLUMN PIPES ?Secondly, among all thermoplastics also, PVC is the

material which can be compounded and modify keeping in

the mind of special characteristics required for pipes to be

used with submersible pumps. This versatility is not

observed with other thermoplastics like Polyethylene (PE).

Hence PVC contributes to major usage as piping material

globally.

ASTRAL Column Pipes have been developed as a result of

ASTRAL's constant endeavor to develop superior yet

economical piping solution for submersible pumps. The

compound has been developed at ASTRAL's R & D lab after

many trials and constant research with the help of

Japanese technology. ASTRAL's expertise in introducing

better compound in Indian Market, comes true yet another

time with introducing completely Eco Friendly – lead and

heavy metal free – column pipes.

WHY ASTRAL COLUMN PIPES ?The raw material such developed is processed in state of

the art machines which contribute to highest pipe quality

with most accurate dimensions. Then Pipes will be

threaded in very high tech CNC machines which are very

essential for performance of column pipes. The thread

geometry is such designed that it will give highest strength

against vertical column load as well as pressure developed

due to pump operation.

LEAD FREE & HEAVY METAL FREE COMPOUND

ASTRAL Column pipes have been manufactured using Lead

free and Heavy Metal free compound – in other word

ASTRAL Column pipes are completely Eco Friendly. Pipes

will not pollute the ground water and will keep it safe for

leaching of carsegenic material like Lead.

SPECIAL COMPOUND

ASTRAL Column pipes are manufactured from “METAL

FREE” uPVC compound material especially developed by

using “JAPANESE TECHNOLOGY” to sustain best column

loads, pressure and also encounters the high impact

developed during handling, storage and installation. Due to

this special compound the TENSILE property of pipe

increase which is being tested rigorously using modern

testing equipment.

STUD LOCK SYSTEM

Every pipe is fitted with coupler having “Stud Lock” a

unique system developed by ASTRAL®, which ensures that

during installation, application or removal of system, the

coupler will never dethread from the pipe.

UNIQUE FEATURESDOUBLE LOCKING SYSTEM

ASTRAL® is the only company in India giving double locking

system which gives highest safety and reliability of the

system. Apart from stud pin lock system, pipes and

couplers are joined with special joining compound which

makes lifetime permanent joint without affecting the

thread dimensional stability in longer service life.

ANNEALING ON PIPES

Every pipe is annealed during manufacturing which is a

very special technique developed by ASTRAL®. This will

really enhanced the mechanical properties of pipes which

make sure that the pipes will perform best during

application.

100% HYGIENIC / SAFE FOR DRINKING WATER

Supply of drinking water is 100% hygienic and safe as being

pumped through ASTRAL uPVC Co lumn p ipes

manufactured from special METAL FREE compound right

from the origin of water source beneath under the earth at

maximum depth.

SQUARE THREADS

Unique square threads made on CNC machines provide

sufficient grip and additional strength against tensile load.

Thus the joint become fairly strong with sufficient factor of

safety to take care of load of entire assembly with pump

weight. These specially designed threads also make it

suitable for easy fitment.

THIN AND THICK PROCESS

The pipe ends are specially given the effect of additional

SALIENT FEATURESwall thickness by using Thin & Thick process to compensate

the strength and load bearing capacity caused due to

threading of pipes. The effect of Thin & Thick is given to all

sizes considering the working conditions & load factor.

EPDM 'C' RING

Specially designed "C" rings provided on the threads makes

the joints watertight and absorb pump vibrations. These

rings are made from EPDM rubber which is most suitable

for drinking water option.

PRECAUTIONS

HANDLING AND STORAGESTORAGE If possible, pipe should be stored inside. When this is

not possible, the pipe should be stored on level ground

which is dry and free from sharp objects. If different

schedules of pipes are stacked together, the pipe with the

thickest walls should be at the bottom.

The pipe should be protected from the sun and be in

an area with proper ventilation. This will lessen the effects

of ultraviolet rays and help prevent heat built‐up.

If the pipe is stored in racks, it should be continuously

supported along its length. If this is not possible, the

spacing of the supports should not exceed three feet (3’).

When storage temperatures are below 0°C (32°F),

extra care should be taken when handling the pipe. This will

help prevent any problems which could be caused by the

slightly lower impact strength of uPVC pipe at temperature

below freezing.

The pipe should be handled with reasonable care.

Because Column Pipes are much lighter in weight than

metal pipe. There is sometimes a tendency to throw it

around. This should be avoided.

The pipe should never be dragged or pushed from a

truck bed. Pallets for pipe should be removed with a fork

lift. Loose pipe can be rolled down timbers, as long as the

pieces do not fall on each other or on any hard or uneven

surface. In all cases, severe contact with any sharp objects

(rocks, angle irons, forks on forklifts, etc.) should be

avoided.

HANDLING

• A safety cable or rope should be used to prevent

dropping of pump in the well either during operation or

withdrawal. The rope can be of steel or nylon or

polypropylene.

• If lubrication is needed to ease the joint assembly, plain

water or soapy water can be applied to the threads prior

to assembly.

• Use of good quality reflux valves on the delivery side is

recommended for preventing water hammer, upthrust

and back spin in the pumping system.

• It is advisable to use safety device such as pump

protection relay to prevent dry running of pump or pump

shut‐off head condition.

• Do not apply grease, oil or any other oily substance on

the threads.

• Use new rubber seals for every reinstallation of

submersible pump.

• In bore wells, without full casing pipes, it is advised that

at the time of removal of pumps from bore wells, if the

pump gets stuck up due to silt/sticky mud or entrapped

stone, proper flushing of the bore well should be done

and only then pulling load should be applied to the pipes

for pump removal.

• Do not over tighten the pipes as it will result in crushing

of rubber sealing thereby leading to leakage/pipe failure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ASTRAL COLUMN PIPE

1. Why Lead Free Column Pipes?

Lead is a metal with no known biological benefit to humans. Too much lead can damage various systems of the body including the nervous and reproductive systems and the kidneys, and it can cause high blood pressure and anemia. Lead accumulates in the bones and lead poisoning may be diagnosed from a blue line around the gums. Lead is especially harmful to the developing brains of fetuses and young children and to pregnant women. Lead interferes with the metabolism of calcium and Vitamins D. High blood lead levels in children can cause consequences which maybe irreversible including learning disabilities, behavioral problems, and mental retardation. At very high levels, lead can cause convulsions, coma and death. Lead can be dissolved in water when lead pipes are used for transportation of water. So use of such pipes may be harmful to human being. So, lead free column pipes are for drawing recommended pure and safe water from bone wells.

12. If situation demands is it advisable rethreading at site?

No, it is not allowed to cut or rethread the pipes on site. These pipes are threaded on highly sophisticated CNC machines with highest dimensional accuracy. This type of perfection is not possible at site. Also ASTRAL® has complete range of pipes with different lengths of pipe so in most of the cases such operations are not required at site.

13. Is it necessary to provide Full casing in the bore for column pipes?

It is not compulsory to provide the full casing to the ASTRAL Column Pipes in normal conditions. But technically it is always better to provide full casing to Column Pipes which helps the system performed better. Especially in the areas where loose stones or bolders or loose soils are prevalent, full casing will help to prevent the failure of bore.

14. Is it possible to recover water pump from borewell, in case of bone failures?

It is possible to recover the pump and pipes by applying the force equal or less than the ultimate breaking load. In the cases where the higher forces are required, it is not possible to recover the pipes or pumps.

Note:

Educate customer to DEMAND for TWO SIDES PIN LOCK SYSTEM (STUD PIN LOCK SYSTEM) to prevent conversion to other Column Pipes by multi product /brand sellers.
