description Asbestos cement pressure pipes and joints are durable and cost-effective piping systems widely used in water supply and distribution networks for their excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and longevity. Composed of a mixture of asbestos fibres and cement, these pipes exhibit superior mechanical properties, including high tensile strength and resistance to internal and external pressures, making them suitable for conveying potable water, sewage, and industrial fluids under high-pressure conditions. The joints used in asbestos cement pressure pipes ensure leak-proof connections and are typically sealed with rubber gaskets or mortar. Despite their advantages, the use of asbestos in these pipes has raised concerns regarding potential health risks associated with asbestos exposure, leading to regulations and restrictions on their use and disposal in many countries.
