Assumptions made

  • Consideration is given to the material savings that can be achieved by using a combination of gravimetry and an inline wall thickness measuring system. However, the achievable savings may vary depending on the customer. Based on experience, a potential saving of 4% is assumed.
  • The CO₂ savings potential only considers the primary savings resulting from reduced material usage. Secondary effects (e.g. reduction in electricity consumption and the melting capacity of the extruder) are only considered in the more detailed methodology.

    A detailed analysis of the raw materials used will then be carried out. Please enter the materials used for the application under consideration. These materials are entered in accordance with the logic of an iNOEX dosing station and are therefore divided into main and secondary components.

    Step 3 / 3

    Based on your selection of pipe diameter and SDR class, the permissible tolerances for diameter, wall thickness and ovality according to the standard are shown below. By default, our calculation assumes that your production is positioned in the middle of the permissible tolerance range. You can adjust this value if required.
    Based on this input, we calculate your potential savings by minimising the tolerance band using the automation options of our systems.

    Explanation of further calculationTwo different approaches are presented below.

    Firstly, the achievable savings potential in terms of material, CO₂ and energy consumption is quantified. It is assumed that the annual output quantity remains constant. However, due to efficiency increases, this is accompanied by a shortening of the production period.

    For this reason, a further analysis quantifies how the above-described increase in efficiency can be converted into additional production. In this case, total material consumption remains unchanged, but higher annual production is achieved.

    For each approach, production without automation components is compared with a line featuring the same iNOEX equipment, demonstrating the potential advantages.

    Explanation of negative values.
