Introduction
FOAM CORE PIPE :
What is a foam core pipe and how is it different from a regular pipe ? This is the first question that comes to mind when thinking of installing a new underground drainage system and selecting the right pipes for it.
Foam Core pipes are manufactured using the latest tri-extrusion techniques which produces a three layer pipe with inside and outside solid UPVC layers and middle layer consisting of foamed PVC. The inner and outer layers have the main function of sustaining the load while the foam layer in the middle provides rigidity to the structure of the pipe and maintains its shape.
Unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (UPVC) allows better hardness and stiffness of the product and reduces the risk of leaching of harmful any constituents into the water.
This combination produces a pipe that is 25% lighter than standard UPVC pipe and at the same time this structure allows achieving superior ring stiffness with saving in raw materials and low weight for faster and easier handling and installation. As foam core PVC pipes are meant to be buried into the ground, the rigidity of the foam layer is a much required characteristic. The systems overall flexibility facilitates its application for all domestic and commercial requirements for foul water and surface water drainage
Features of Foam Core PVC Pipes
- High ring elasticity
- Higher resistance to dynamic and static loads.
- Light weight and strong
- Better thermal insulation properties
- Vibration and noise damping
Foam Core PVC pipe sizes:
SN2: 110 mm, 160 mm, 200 mm, 250 mm, 315 mm
SN4: 110 mm, 160 mm, 200 mm, 250 mm, 315 mm
SN6: 110 mm, 160 mm, 200 mm, 250 mm, 315 mm
Length: 3 mtr and 6 mtrs.
Color: Terracotta
These pipes are manufactured as per IS 16098.
Pipes upto 200 mm are manufactured in both ringfit and solventfit types. Above 200mm pipes are manufactured in solvent fit only.
