Concrete-Lined Pipe

Concrete-Lined Pipe

Concrete-Lined Pipe

(OP)
We have a project in a water plant. There is existing piping with cement-moartar lined steel or ductile iron pipe. We have not found piping specs for the existing plant. The pipe is large-diameter, short pieces with lots of branches and fittings. 1.) Would you recommend that we continue with the same pipe?  2.) What other system woulld be appropriate to consider?  3.) Can this be fabricated and lined on site? 4.) How can we build piping specs for this new pipe?

RE: Concrete-Lined Pipe

I would put this thread in the civil engineering part for a correct answer to your demand.

RE: Concrete-Lined Pipe

Is your pipe internally or externally coated with concrete?  If external (and also large diameter and shallow water table), it is for weight coating.  If internal, it is for corrosion protection.  If the pressure is low, no steel is required; go with concrete.  If the pressure is high, consider non-concrete linings.  Transition sections are available.

RE: Concrete-Lined Pipe

Internal cement lining is common for Ductile Iron pipe, especially in potable water duty. Alternatives are Stainless Steel, uPVC, Polypropylene depending on location and bore.

Cement mortar lined pipe is for corrosion/contamination protection. It is supplied so lined, I have not known it to be lined on site. There are two grades here, oprdinary portland cement lined, and sulphate resisting cement lined.

We have British Standards for the cement mortar lined pipe:
BS 4772 covers lining thickness,

It's not civil engineers who design most water treatment plant nowadays...

RE: Concrete-Lined Pipe

in large dia cml pipe with posible man entry the lining can be knocked out and re-lined in-situ....unlined pipe can be cleaned and / or  lined in- situ.....lining can be applied to new prior to welding , on site.
