Helical Welded Pipe For Underground Water Lines

 Learn about spiral welded pipes:

Spiral welded pipe is an innovative solution for underground water pipe systems. It is manufactured by welding steel strips or plates/coil into a spiral around a central mandrel. This process ensures welded pipe with maximum strength, flexibility and corrosion resistance. The resulting pipe has several advantages that make it ideal for underground water line installations.

 1. Strength and durability:

 The spiral welding process increases the overall strength and integrity of the pipe. Continuous spiral welds distribute stress evenly along the length, reducing the chance of pipe failure. Whether faced with soil movement or external pressure, spiral welded pipe can withstand the challenges associated with underground installations over the long term.

 2. Corrosion resistance:

 Groundwater lines are prone to corrosion due to moisture, soil acidity, and other environmental factors. However, spiral welded pipes are often coated with various protective layers, such as polyethylene or epoxy, to act as an anti-corrosion barrier. This coating helps extend the life of pipes and reduces maintenance costs.

 3. Flexible and convenient installation:

 Due to its spiral structure, spiral welded pipe exhibits excellent flexibility, making it easier to handle during installation. The adaptability of these pipes allows for more efficient and cost-effective alignment even in challenging terrain or when navigating around existing infrastructure. This flexibility helps expedite construction and minimize disruption to the community during installation.

 4. Efficient water transportation:

 The inner surface of the spiral welded pipe is smooth, which can reduce friction and pressure loss when water flows through the pipe. Increased flow efficiency enables more water to be transported over greater distances, improving water distribution across the network.
