product Asbestos–Cement Pipes and Fittings for Sewerage and Drainage
certification BIS ISI Certification
Standard IS 6908:1991
description Asbestos-cement pipes and fittings for sewerage and drainage systems are widely used in civil engineering projects due to their durability, corrosion resistance, and affordability. Composed of a mixture of asbestos fibers and cement, these pipes offer excellent strength and resistance to chemical degradation, making them suitable for conveying sewage, stormwater, and industrial effluents. Asbestos-cement pipes are lightweight, easy to install, and have a smooth interior surface that minimizes friction and allows for efficient flow of liquids. Additionally, asbestos-cement fittings such as bends, tees, and couplings ensure leak-proof connections and facilitate the alignment of pipeline networks. Despite their advantages, the use of asbestos in these pipes and fittings has raised concerns regarding potential health risks associated with asbestos exposure, leading to regulations and restrictions on their use and disposal in many countries.
