Categories of pipe used are gravity pipe for building and civil engineering, pressure pipe for utilities and plumbing and for industrial use. The gravity sector is by far the largest.
In industrialised countries 89% of all sewage pipes are still made from concrete and stoneware, only 11% are plastic. Despite this, more than 50% of all plastic pipes are sewer and non pressure pipes. Of this PVC has a market share of 80%. Despite the moves away from PVC, pipes made from this material grow at average GDP rates.
By 2025 an additional 3bill. people will live on our planet, demographics have the 2nd biggest impact on the growth rates for waterpipes. The biggest impact is coming from the replacement of concrete, copper and steel pipes however.
For pressure pipes only the PVC standard DIN EN 1452 is published. PrEN drafts cover PVC-sewer, PE-drinking water and sewer. EN for gas pipes is in the formla vote. Key standards in Europe are DIN 16982 and 16983 apply for hot water pipes, up to diameters of 160 mm. ISO 13479 is the international standard for stress crack resistance and ISO 13477 covers rapid crack propagation.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteHigh-pressure, fibreglass reinforced plastic pipe products are now in the market, its customers around the world are mainly in the energy and infrastructure industries. Plastic pipe are reflecting a strong rebound in construction applications as well as opportunities in drain and sewer applications and water transmission. Thanks a lot.
