product Asbestos Cement Pressure Pipes (Light Duty)
certification BIS ISI Certification
Standard IS 9627:1980
description Asbestos cement pressure pipes, specifically designed for light-duty applications, are durable and cost-effective piping systems used primarily for water supply and distribution networks in residential and small-scale industrial settings. Composed of a mixture of asbestos fibres and cement, these pipes offer sufficient strength and corrosion resistance to withstand moderate internal pressures and external loads. Light-duty asbestos cement pressure pipes are lightweight and easy to handle, making them convenient for installation in shallow trenches or aboveground applications. They provide reliable performance in conveying potable water, irrigation water, and other non-corrosive fluids, contributing to the efficient and sustainable supply of water in communities. However, 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.
