( MENAFN - Jordan Times) AMMAN - The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) in Jordan have launched their joint project entitled“Protection of Family Links (PFL) to Alleviate Suffering and to Contribute to Peacebuilding in Conflict-affected Communities.” With this PFL project funded from KOICA, the ICRC will support families of people who went missing during the conflicts in Syria, be they in Syria, Lebanon, or Jordan, by helping them access PFL services, according to an ICRC statement. ICRC's project includes providing psychosocial group sessions, offering relief aid and livelihood support, ensuring access to healthcare through emergency cash aid, and assisting with legal and administrative challenges to safeguard their rights and legal status amidst the turmoil of disappearance. At the launch ceremony held in Amman on November 27, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Jordan Kim Pil-woo highlighted the importance of the KOICA-ICRC joint project in helping families separated by regional conflicts reunite and overcome their suffering. "The Korean people have tremendous empathy for those dispersed by conflict in this region, because Korea had similar experiences during and after the Korean War in the 1950s," the ambassador said. While praising the close partnership between KOICA and the ICRC, he also expressed confidence that this project, combined with the ICRC's expertise, dedication, and passion, will produce a successful outcome. ICRC's Head of Delegation in Jordan Sarah Avrillaud expressed her appreciation to KOICA and the Korean government for their generous support of some $10.5 million to the ICRC in support of families of the missing persons, noting this is the first ICRC project financed by KOICA on PFL. Avrillaud further emphasised the profound impact these families endure, stating that“the full scale of the missing issue is often unacknowledged, yet the devastating and lasting effects on individuals, families, and communities cannot be underestimated." "Families endure years of uncertainty and anguish, seeking information about their missing loved ones, creating not only an emotional burden but also a legal and financial struggle, particularly if the missing person was the family's primary provider, she added. KOICA collaborates with international organisations, including the ICRC, to implement programmes that support fragile and conflict-affected communities. These programmes aim to strengthen the capacity of states to manage and respond to social, political, economic, and environmental risks, thereby promoting sustainable development. ICRC and KOICA have cooperated on development and humanitarian projects since 2021 with a special focus on assisting the people and communities affected by conflicts – such as economic security in Azerbaijan, health sector in Nigeria, South Sudan, Yemen, and water and habitation in Venezuela, according to the statement. Building on this previous partnership, the two organisations have decided to expand their collaboration around working to protect and restore family links, clarify the fate and whereabouts of persons missing as a result of armed conflict, natural or man-made disasters, or migration, and protect the dignity of the deceased to contribute to trust building and peacebuilding in conflict-affected communities. The ICRC's role and mandate to search for the missing and provide support to their families is recognised by states, international organisations, and civil society organisations alike and, as a neutral, impartial, and independent organisation, it is "uniquely" positioned to contribute to this imperative humanitarian effort.

Both materials are widely used in modern underfloor heating systems, but they have distinct characteristics that make them suitable for different scenarios. Overview of PEX and PERT Pipes PEX pipes are made from cross-linked polyethylene, a durable material created by chemically altering polyethylene to form stronger bonds. This cross-linking improves the pipe's strength, flexibility, and resistance to temperature extremes. PERT, on the other hand, is a non-cross-linked polyethylene material specially engineered to withstand elevated temperatures. While PERT lacks the cross-linking of PEX, its design compensates with high-temperature stability and flexibility, making it a popular choice in underfloor heating systems. Durability and Longevity One of PEX's most significant advantages is its exceptional durability. Thanks to its cross-linked structure, PEX can handle extreme conditions, including higher pressures and wider temperature fluctuations. It is less prone to cracking or damage under stress, making it an excellent choice for long-lasting installations. PERT, while durable, is generally considered slightly less robust than PEX. Its linear structure, though resistant to high temperatures, may not perform as well under intense pressure or in conditions involving frequent temperature cycling. For standard domestic heating systems where these extremes are less common, PERT's durability is often sufficient. Ease of Installation PERT pipes are known for their superior flexibility, which simplifies installation. They are easier to bend and maneuver, making them particularly useful in complex underfloor heating layouts. PERT also doesn't require the special tools needed for working with PEX. For installers seeking a straightforward process, PERT is often a preferred option. PEX, although flexible, has more memory, meaning it tends to spring back to its original shape. This can make it slightly more challenging to work with during installation. PEX pipes also require additional fittings and tools for proper connections, which could add to installation time and costs. Temperature Resistance and Performance Both PEX and PERT are designed to handle the temperature ranges typical of underfloor heating systems. However, PEX can endure higher temperature peaks and greater pressure, which may be necessary for some demanding installations. In contrast, PERT's performance is optimized for consistent temperature conditions, making it an efficient choice for residential systems. Cost Considerations PERT pipes are generally more cost-effective than PEX pipes. This price advantage, combined with easier installation, can make PERT the better option for budget-conscious projects. However, for installations where long-term performance and resistance to extreme conditions are priorities, the slightly higher cost of PEX may be justified. Conclusion Both PEX and PERT have their advantages for underfloor heating systems. Choose PEX if durability, long-term performance, and resistance to extreme conditions are your primary concerns. It is especially well-suited for larger or more complex systems. Choose PERT if ease of installation, flexibility, and cost-efficiency are top priorities, particularly for residential setups with stable temperature demands. Ultimately, the decision should be guided by the specific requirements of your project and your budget. When choosing the best material for underfloor heating systems, ensuring the pipes are free from surface flaws is crucial to prevent potential leaks or weak points that could compromise performance. Our underfloor heating pipe surface flaw inspectors [ https://www.advancevi.com/advance-inspection-machine-for-surface-defects-of-pexa-pipe-product/ ] are designed to provide precise, high-speed detection of defects in PEX, PERT, and other heating pipes. These advanced machines utilize cutting-edge technology, such as high-resolution cameras and sensors, to identify scratches, cracks, and irregularities during the manufacturing process. By ensuring only flawless pipes are used in underfloor heating installations, our inspectors enhance the overall reliability and safety of heating systems. Whether you choose PEX or PERT, relying on pipes that pass rigorous inspection ensures a longer lifespan and fewer maintenance concerns for your underfloor heating setup.
