Why structured wall pipes?
By using structured wall pipes 65% of the

weight can be saved compared to
equivalent solid wall pipes with the same
statical capacity.

Pipes
Calculations and Design
Can be designed according to the

nominal ring stiffness classes (SN)
Can be designed according to
EN 13476-3 9.1 in between the
SN classes
With the help of the calculation it can be
proven that the pipe with less stiffness
but the right profile will be sufficient for
the application and cost saving

Why flexible pipes
What bends does not break!

Even under heavy load conditions Krah
pipes hardly get damaged in contrast to
rigid pipe materials

Pipes
Flexibility
Most damages occur due to loads
Flexible pipes deform in case of overload and release the loads to the ground
The result is a change of the crosssection, but pipes remain leak tight and
flow-capacity is almost optimal
