About

Production of basalt-plastic pipes (BPP) uses the technology of continuous winding of the reinforcing fiber on an epoxy (or other) binder with polymerization in a single technological cycle. This method of continuous winding allows the manufacturer to produce pipes consistently of any size for any application with the characteristics specified. - Diameter range: 20 to 500 mm (0.78” to 20”) - Maximum pipe length: 13.5m - Max. working pressure 250 ATM / 253 bar - Operating temperature up to 130oС In BPP networks, standard shut-off and ball valves valves are used. The BPP is connected to the shut-off valves and sections of steel pipelines using flanged or quick-disconnect connections. - a direct substitution for steel pipes in any location - reliable and lighter than steel. BPP is x4 to 10 times less dense than steel pipes. This makes it easier and cheaper to deliver pipes to poorly accessible locations, no heavy lifting equipment is required, loads on fixed supports are reduced, and conditions for natural compensation of temperature extensions are facilitated. - corrosion resistant, durable and reliable; suitable for use with corrosive fluids - thermal conductivity of BPP material is 150 times lower than that of steel; less heat loss Lightweight, durable, quickly installed without welding and specialist equipment, BPP allows companies to rapidly lay demountable pipes with high throughput in hard-to-reach places.
