Introduction Pipe Composition Properties Advantages    
 
   
 
   
The smooth interior of ADPF pipes results in low fluid resistance, which could lower horsepower requirements for pumped systems. This characteristic could contribute to a substantial cost savings over the life of a typical piping system. The interior pipe surface remains smooth over time in most fluid services. Therefore fluid resistance does not increase with age. The smooth interior allows the pipe diameter to be reduced while maintaining the desired flow.
ADPF pipe, being highly corrosion resistant, no separate lining or Cathodic protection is required; hence virtually no maintenance cost. Expected life span of ADPF pipe is 60 years. No outside protection is needed against ground water, aggressive industrial gases and fumes or chemicals leaking from the neighboring pipes and valves.
The relatively high compliance (low modulus of elasticity) of ADPF pipe contribute to a self dampening effect as the pressure wave travels through the piping system. The magnitude of the pressure wave and hence surge pressure in a metallic piping system is much higher due to the higher modulus of elasticity of these materials.
Since ADPF pipes are supplied in 12 m lengths, only less number of joints are required. This means less chance of leakage and due to light weight and less number of joints, less time is required for installation resulting in substantial cost saving.
Since ADPF pipes can have rigid joints, thrust blocks can be eliminated resulting in reduction of cost during the installation.
The low Thermal conductivity of ADPF pipes not only causes low temperature losses, but also in many cases eliminates condensation or the need for additional thermal insulation.
Since the Thermal end loads developed in ADPF pipes are small, restraining equipments like guides and anchors need not be as strong or heavy as for metallic piping.
Short lengths, adjustment pipes or special fittings can be readily made available at a short notice. Unforeseen modifications can be made at site easily without delay at low extra cost.
Since ADPF pipes are manufactured with an external liner, it acts as a barrier against ultra violet rays.
ADPF pipes have good abrasion resistance.
ADPF pipes are very light, hence easier handling, faster installation and low transportation costs. The use of heavy equipment is practically eliminated.
