Extended small diameter pipe range with 90mm products Iron technology company Saint-Gobain PAM UK has extended its family of small diameter water and sewer pipes with the addition of a range of 90mm products. According to the company, the Blutop TM range has already successfully challenged the dominance of plastics in this product area, enhancing the status of ductile iron as an option for specifiers in small diameter pipe systems. The 110mm product was launched in early 2009 and the new 90mm range is set to be joined by 125mm diameter products. Blutop draws on state-of-the- art technologies in both ductile iron pipe spinning and coating materials, and combines the traditional values and long-term performance of ductile iron with the flexibility of plastics. The combination of materials results in a system offering leak-free reliability, easy handling, reduced installation costs and high water quality, even in contaminated ground. At half the weight of traditional ductile iron pipes, Blutop pipes are easy to lay, require no special equipment and can be jointed manually through a new jointing system that includes a restraint option, removing the need for thrust blocks. Combining both strength and flexibility – up to 6° deflection at each joint – the Blutop system can be laid shallow or deep and is highly resistant to third party damage. The pipes have a unique Ductan™ interior lining, which provides excellent water quality properties, and an external coating similar to Saint-Gobain’s PAM Natural™ pipe system (high tech true alloy of zinc/aluminium), making them suitable for use in a wide variety of ground conditions.
