Advantages of Flanged Pipes

Ductile Iron Flanged Pipes made by us have several advantages over other flanged pipes available.
Some of these are highlighted below:

Stronger – Electrosteel Ductile Iron Flanged Pipes are mush stronger due to the higher inherent tensile strength. This is due to the superior casting process called Centrifugal Casting that ensures excellent compactness and eliminates casting defects such as blowholes, pinholes, slag inclusion and core displacement

Higher factor of Safety – Stronger pipes from Electrosteel ensure a higher factor of safety in your pipeline. Sudden pressure fluctuations and outside impacts are tolerated much better by our Pipes than any other competing product.

Lighter to use - Our Pipes are lighter in comparison to competing products such as CI pipes reducing cost of transportation as well as installation.

Negligible Breakages in transit and during handling - Electrosteel Ductile Iron Pipes are impact-resistant and do not break due to sudden impacts. Losses due to transportation and handling are minimized.

Reduced Pumping costs – Electrosteel Pipes are centrifugally Cement Mortar Lined resulting in a smooth inside surface that reduces friction. The pipes have a Hazen William’s ‘C’ Value of 140 as per CPHEEO recommendation.

Longer life and Excellent Corrosion Resistance - The inside cement mortar lining prevents corrosion and encrustation on the inside surface. The external Zine / Bitumen coating offers extra protection against external corrosion.

Dimensional accuracy & better finish - Centrifugal casting ensures uniform wall thickness and excellent surface finish. In conventional green sand casting uniform thickness cannot be achieved due to floating, shifting or deformation of the core.

Coatings and Linings of Flanged Pipes
We offer a variety of linings and coatings for use with various types of fluids and for different applications. Customized coatings and linings can also be developed for special applications. The most commonly used combinations of corrosion protection with recommended usage are:
