The Vortex Flow Insert consists of a Vortex Top Form, a Vortex Shaft and an Energy Dissipation Pool as specified by IPEX. Debris such as wood, metal fasteners or rebar have often been left in the pipe system during construction, and could potentially impact the IPEX Vortex Insert when in service. IPEX conducted impact tests with sample specimens of PVC/FRP as made for a Vortex Flow Insert, to simulate the effects of impact of such debris.
