Water & Wastewater Engineering

Drawing on its many years of expertise, SIMONA has now produced reduced-branch tees capable of withstanding fullpressure loads – a solution tailored to the requirements of the water utility industry. The fittings are equipped with a reinforced saddle, thus allowing maximumpressure operation without the need for full encasing. Thanks to the compact design, complex assemblies consisting of tees and reducers are also a thing of the past. The result: reduced space requirement, more efficient installation and significant cost savings.

Simona Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) belongs to the group of highly crystalline high-performance thermoplastics. PVDF retains its high level of stiffness even within the upper temperature range. The material is highly resistant to the majority of organic and inorganic media, as well as being physiologically safe and offering the benefits of low flammability.

Alongside its outstanding processability, polyethylene (PE) displays good chemical resistance and offers strength and rigidity within a temperature range of between – 40 °C and + 80 °C. Due to the inclusion of soot particles, PE is resistant to UV light and therefore also suitable for long-term outdoor applications.
