Pipeson Analyzer

Supports Research and Development

Borealis is a leading provider of plastics solutions for the pipe industry with more than 50 years’ experience in advanced polyolefins. Utilizing the own developed Borstar® technology, Borealis focus on providing plastic materials to the infrastructure markets across Europe, the Middle East and Asia. For infrastructure pipes and fittings Borealis focus areas are; water supply systems, sewerage systems, plumbing & heating systems and pipeline protection systems. Through a continuous dialogue with customers and stakeholders, Borealis develop and broaden their innovative product and service portfolios.

”We have used Analyzer since 2008 in our Innovation Centers in Austria, Sweden and Finland to support our research and development work”, says Kurt Stubenrauch, Head of Competence Centre Polyolefin Design & Conversion.

Useful around the organization

Borealis is a leading provider of plastics solutions for the pipe industry and works with many different pressure pipe- and fitting materials such as PE, PEX, PP-R and PP-RCT. Different functionalities of Analyzer are used in different parts of the organization.

”The Application Development & Technical Service Team uses the Pipeson Analyzer to show pipe pressure test data to our customers. Research and development uses the ’compare’ functionality to visualize the performance of different materials. Application Development and Technical Service perform regression analyses to predict lifetimes and to classify new materials. The ’line lifetime’ functionality is also useful to us for assessing the lifetime for different service conditions”, says Kurt.

Make the most of the data

”Pipeson Analyzer makes it possible to quickly evaluate pipe pressure test data which allows us to put the data to better use. Analyzer also makes it easy for us to distribute different data files, graphs, tables with results and reports, both between the different Borealis locations but also to our customers”, says Kurt Stubenrauch.

Higher In-House Efficiency

Henco Industries’ success story started with the vision of successful entrepreneur Louis Hendrickx. Louis started his first company in 1956 and was very successful in panel radiators. In 1992 he founded Henco Industries and the Henco multilayer pipe was born. Henco is today a member of Aalbers group and a complete system supplier producing multilayer pipes, fittings, manifolds, valves and more. In 2009, Henco started to work with Pipeson Analyzer.

”As a result of implementing Pipeson Analyzer we can do more of the work in-house. We still work closely with the institutes, but can also make our own calculations”, says Dirk Vroman Technical and Quality Manager of Product Certification at Henco Industries that among other things produce multilayer pipes, fittings, manifolds and valves.

Time saving web training

Henco got started using Pipeson Analyzer via the web based training.

”The training was short and effective, and provided us with all the knowledge we needed to get started. Any questions we have had since then have been answered quickly, and our suggestions have been used in the development of new functionalities that have speeded up our workflow even more”, says Dirk Vroman.

Logical and accessible

As a system supplier, Henco uses Pipeson Analyzer to work with the design of new products, certification of new products and quality control.

”Now we have most test data in Analyzer files and the linearized regression lines in the Line manager. We know how to apply the different functions for multilayer pipes and it is no problem to understand the logic of the new functionality. With the Kiwa Online system we also have full access to our ongoing projects at Kiwa”, says Dirk.
