Corrugated pipes are a type of polyethylene pipe characterized by their wavy exterior. The outer surface of these pipes has grooves and corrugations, while the inner surface is smooth. This design ensures smooth fluid flow with minimal resistance. The inner surface of these pipes is typically colored yellow or blue to facilitate easy detection in case of blockages using light. Corrugated double-wall pipes are widely used in the water and sewage industry, agriculture, water treatment, construction, and electrical applications, with a predominant use in sewage systems. High flexibility, long lifespan, lightweight, resistance to damaging factors, and ease of use are some of the advantages of corrugated pipes.
Specifications of Corrugated Double-Wall Pipes
Corrugated double-wall pipes have certain specifications that make them particularly useful in various industries:
- Surface Design: The outer surface has grooves and corrugations, while the inner surface is smooth, facilitating fluid flow with minimal resistance.
- Color: The pipes are black with the inner surface often colored blue or yellow.
- Material: Made from polyethylene and polypropylene.
- Flexibility: High flexibility, allowing the pipes to withstand physical pressure.
- Chemical Resistance: Highly resistant to acids, bases, and chemicals.
- Weight: Lightweight compared to many other types of pipes, making them easy to transport.
- Ease of Installation: Easy to install and use, with high weldability, allowing for quick installation.
These characteristics make corrugated double-wall pipes an excellent choice for various industrial applications. They can be produced in diverse sizes, making them suitable for different uses. Their high resistance to wear and tear and overall longevity, with a lifespan of 50 to 100 years, are also notable features.
Pricing of Corrugated Pipes
Due to their numerous advantages, corrugated pipes are widely used and are among the best-selling products of ABtank. The price of corrugated pipes is a critical factor for buyers and can vary with market fluctuations. Therefore, it is essential to inquire about the price from ABtank experts before purchasing.
Several factors influence the price of corrugated pipes, including the cost of raw materials, pipe size, pressure resistance, pipe length, and manufacturing location. The primary factors affecting the price are the weight and purity of the materials used. Pipes made from pure polyethylene have higher quality and cost. The quality directly impacts the durability of the pipes. High-quality, durable pipes are typically used in the sewage industry, while cheaper corrugated pipes find applications in garbage chutes in buildings, water channels in farms, bridge construction in flood-prone areas, electrical cable coverings, fiber optic coverings, and chemical storage tanks.
