Bi-Axial pipes

Bi-Axial pipes  

Bi-Axial pipes are well-designed GRP/GRE pipes which withstand full axial thrust as well as hoop stresses. Bi-Axial pipes provide high axial strength in both aboveground applications and crossing various natural features such as: rocky lands, rivers, loose soil, swampy and mountainous areas.  
This type of pipes and fittings can also be produced to be fire-resistant. 
Despite of some similarities between some of the Bi-Axial pipe specifications and those of Faratec Uni-Axial pipes, some of the Bi-Axial pipe advantages are presented as follows: 

• High mechanical strength (even more than steel in hoop direction) 
• High resistance against impact 
• Installation in steep slopes 
• Ability of the pipes to use rigid joints 
• No need to thrust-block 
• The best option for: loose soil, rocky land, mountainous areas, inlet and outlet headers or pipes for pumps and chambers 
• constant roughness coefficient throughout the service life (like Uni-Axial pipes) 
• Corrosion resistant (like Uni-Axial pipes) 
• Low weight “being just 1/4 to 1/8 the weight of comparable steel pipe with the same diameter and working pressure” (like Uni-Axial pipes) 
• Joinable to any other pipe types (like Uni-Axial pipes).
