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 BlutopTM 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.
