Max. Pressure for concrete pipes with rubber gasket joints
(OP)
I'm working in a water supply project with high pressure concrete pipes (up to 350kPA). Initially we thought about weldet joints but theres a fabricant who proposed a rubber gasket joint. The problem is that i think that this kind of joint is not recommendable for pressures above 190 or 200kPA. Anyone knows any Porject with such high pressures using rubber gasket joints or limitations?
