About Double Socket Taper Pipe
To ensure a secure seal for pipes that carry liquids, gases, and other substances, double socket taper pipe is utilised in the pipe threading production process. It is usually used for transporting gases and liquids. In addition to this, the said product must therefore have threaded connections that are liquid or gas tight. Threads with taper aid in creating better sealing. Double socket taper pipe is employed to provide additional space to work in the chamber. This may open a passageway for fluid to escape. A sealant can be applied to fill this clearance and create a pressure seal when the pressure is low.
Superior Corrosion and Impact ResistanceWith internal bitumen and external epoxy coatings, the double socket taper pipe is designed to withstand highly corrosive environments and frequent mechanical stress. This makes it ideal for use in municipal infrastructure, where durability and reliability over decades are essential. The increased wall thickness across varying diameters contributes to its robust performance in challenging conditions.
Effortless and Reliable InstallationThe double socket connection with rubber ring facilitates a quick, leak-proof, push-fit joint without the need for welding or threading. This design saves time during installation and minimizes maintenance requirements. Suitable for both underground and above-ground applications, these pipes can be laid with confidence in diverse project settings.
FAQs of Double Socket Taper Pipe:
Q: How is the double socket taper pipe installed for underground and above-ground projects?
A: Installation is streamlined using the push-fit socket-to-socket connection with rubber gasket sealing. This method ensures a tight seal and permits quick assembly for both underground and above-ground placements, without special tools or welding.
Q: What benefits does the high corrosion resistance offer in municipal applications?
A: The high corrosion resistance, achieved through internal bitumen and external epoxy coatings, extends the pipes service life beyond 50 years. It reliably protects against chemical exposure, moisture, and soil conditions common in sewage and water distribution systems.
Q: Where can the double socket taper pipe be used effectively?
A: These pipes are suited for municipal water distribution, sewage, and drainage networks across India. Their robust construction allows for safe installation in both subterranean and exposed environments, handling a wide diameter range from 80 mm to 1000 mm.
Q: What is the manufacturing process for these cast iron pipes?
A: Double socket taper pipes are produced using centrifugal casting, a process that ensures uniform wall thickness and superior mechanical properties. Each unit is hydraulically tested to meet IS: 1536 and ISO 2531 standards, guaranteeing quality and safety.
Q: What is the primary benefit of the double socket joint with rubber ring?
A: The double socket joint with rubber ring provides a flexible yet airtight seal, reducing the risk of leaks, accommodating minor misalignments, and simplifying assembly and future maintenance.
Q: Which material grade options are available for these pipes?
A: The pipes are supplied in material grades such as Class A, K7, and K9, ensuring appropriate strength for various hydraulic pressures (PN 10 and PN 16), temperature ranges from -10C to 80C, and demanding operational conditions.
