EX.NO:3 STUDY OF DIFFERENT PIPE MATERIALS

AIM:

To study a purpose of different pipe materials.

DIFFERENT PIPES:

 Cast iron pipe and fitting

 Plastic or PVC pipes.
 Galvanised steel pipes.
 Stone ward pipes.
 Asbestos cement (AC) pipes.
 Concrete pipes.

1. CAST IRON PIPES:

Cast iron pie and fitting are primarily used for designing of soils
and rain water disposal system. These pipes are made of send caste
process or by spinning.

Sand cast pipes are available in 1,5,8,2 meter length and 5,6mm
thickness.

Spun pipes are made by pouring molten cast iron into revolving
water would proceed seamless pipe in length upto 3 meter use than
sand cast pipe.

2. PLASTIC OR PVC PIPES:

 These are commonly used type of pipe
 Un Plasticized (PVC) which are rigid pipes for the use of cold water.
 Plasticized PVC pipes (PPVC) which are plasticized with addition of
rubber. It lower strength and lower working temp than UPVC pipe.
 Chlorinated PVC (CPVC) which can stand up to 120 degree Celsius.
 For pipes used in soil and waste discharge system, the thickness of
the wall will be large than that of used for roof.
 Rigid PVC pipes are used for distribution of water with temperature
below 45 degree Celsius.
 9

3. GALVANIZED STEEL PIPES:

GI pipes are made for steel pipes. Galvanized process deposits a thin
coating of zinc which protects it from corrosion.
These pipes corrodes easily if it carries blackish water or consealed inline
concrete brick or built under ground.
4. STONE WARE PIPES:

These pipes are extensively used as underground drainage pipes in low

cost construction building usually these pipes are laid in the even bed of
concrete and further treated as spec. laying method.

5. ASBESTOS CEMENT PIPE:

These pipes are used for drainage or rain water for roofs, soil and water
and also for ventilation. They come in 2 profiles one leading with (WB) around
socket.

The principal defects of these pipes that they’re have heavy they break
easily.

6. CONCRETE PIPES:
Unreinforced pipes of small diameter as well as required reinforced and
pre stressed concrete pipes of large diameter are available for water
supply and other uses.
Small reinforced concrete pipes are very much used for drainage of rain
water.
Large diameter pipes are generally used for major supplies.

pipe line at summits on both side of sluice valves and also on the
downstream of all other sluice valves.
3. BUTTERFLY VALVES:

position. It compression the rubber seat which is slightly smaller in

diameter than the disc and tighter seal is made.
4. PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE:
Water hammer pressure in pipes can be reduced by using the types of
valves. Such a valve is adjusted to open out automatically when pressure
exceeds the certain pre-determined valve. Due to opening this valves water
gets out reducing pressure.
5. CHECK VALVE:
It is used to prevent reverse flow in a pipe line. The swing type valves are
most commonly used in the category.
6. TAPS:
 Pillar taps
They are draw of taps that are fitted to sanitary appliances such as
sink units, basins etc., they have a long threaded shank that allows
them fitted.
 Bib taps:
These draws of fitted above the sanitary appliances such as sinks are
on their own to supply water for bucket or hoses.
 Mixer taps:
These are basically a fair of draw of pillar taps , hot and cold joined
together by a common joint mining chamber and delivery spout to
provide mixed flow of hot and cold water controls are joints by
separated spout joints.
7. COUPLING REDUCER:
It is used to connect two different sized pipes. Reduces are classified into:
I. Concrete type
II. Eccentric type
8. UNION:

The function of union is to unite or joint 2 pipes together, at facilities to

connect and disconnect pipe earlier. Union is made brass or steel.

It is threaded fully on the inside and one end of the outside.
12.FLANGE:
It is used to connect two pipes in same line by means of bolts, threads,
welded. It is used where every pipe lines needed to be assembled.
13.NIPPLE:
It is a pipe threaded at both sides. It is used to join internally threads filling
through nipple is made of GI, plastic, etc…
14.PLUG:
