Advantages of chrysotile cement pipes
Immediately let's get down to business. Unlike metal structures, this option is cheaper, due to not high self-cost, but also much easier to install. Especially this plus is noticeable in large-scale construction.
The second important advantage is the size of the pipe - it is three times thicker than steel, which means that there is no need for additional heat-insulating linings. Also, it should be noted separately that chrysotile-cement pipes have a low coefficient of heat conductivity. In addition, such pipes are made of environmentally friendly material, which makes it possible to apply them wherever there is a need.
- High level of resistance to aggressive media.
- Anti-corrosion.
- Resistant to mechanical stress.
Based on this, we can safely say that when applying pressure and exhaust ventilation, chrysotile-cement pipes are simply irreplaceable and far superior in terms of their steel and plastic competitors.
In order to confirm all of the above, we provide the following information:
- More than 3 million kilometers of such pipeline have been carried out on all continents. And almost half of this indicator is in the territory of Russia.
- Europeans exploit them for gas pipelines.
However, there is one disadvantage - it is the participation of lifting equipment to transport and install this large diameter pipe( if it is a question of home and domestic use, then, of course, there is no need for it).
Mounting
This is another victory over other types - after all, for installation, no cooking is required at the joints. For this, special couplings are used. At the time of production of the pipe, its ends are already prepared in accordance with a given size, so it is important to give accurate information before ordering, otherwise problems may arise.
Usually the dimensions of the section are from 100 to 500 mm. Since they are issued only in a direct form, in order to solve the problem with angles and discrepancies, sets of special nodes are additionally created.
Non-pressure and pressure pipes - what's the difference?
Chrysotile-cement pipes are non-pressure and pressure pipes. Consider from the difference.
- Non-pressure. Lightweight and seamless. They are used for chimney construction( the temperature of the gases leaving the chimney must not be more than 300 degrees, so the use of this type of pipe is not suitable for coal furnaces), a garbage chute, and non-pressure sewerage. Also can be used during the foundation installation.
- Pressure. They are more durable. For this reason, they are actively used in heating systems, hot water pipelines, heating mains and oil pipelines. Also they can completely replace non-pressure, since they will cope with these functions too.
These pipes are the most used all over the world. All their advantages do not just compensate for the shortcomings, but do not even pay attention to them. Probably, in the near future they will become the leading type of pipes, since their cost is lower than that of competitors, and in terms of quality during operation, they are in no way inferior in the worst case. The ease of installation, connection and the absence of the need for permanent repairs make them pay attention to them more often.
