These applications utilize the pipes’ strengths in various environments.
What makes Atlan Flow SN8 pipes resistant to UV radiation?
Strong molecular structure and added UV stabilizers
This resistance is crucial for outdoor applications.
What is the recommended trench width for DN 225mm pipe?
450mm
Proper trench width ensures adequate space for installation and maintenance.
What is the minimum cover for trafficable applications?
600mm
This cover depth is necessary to protect the pipe from loads above.
What material is Atlan Flow SN8 pipe made from?
High-density polyethylene (HDPE)
HDPE is known for its durability and resistance to various environmental factors.
How is jointing performed for Atlan Flow SN8 pipes?
Using a rubber ring jointing system
This system provides a reliable seal between pipe sections.
What certification does Atlan Flow SN8 comply with?
ISO 9001:2015
This certification indicates a commitment to quality management standards.
What is the stiffness class for Atlan Flow SN8 pipes?
SN8
Stiffness class indicates the pipe’s ability to withstand external loads.
What is the optimal installation depth range for Atlan Flow SN8 pipes?
0.8m to 6m from the pipe invert
Correct installation depth is crucial for performance and longevity.
What should you avoid during pipe handling?
Dragging, dropping, or striking the pipe
Proper handling prevents damage to the pipes.
What backfill material is recommended for low cover applications?
Cement-stabilized sand or gravel
This material helps support the pipe and maintain its integrity in low cover situations.
