Double-wall corrugated pipe

Double-wall corrugated pipe is a new type of lightweight pipe with an annular structured outer wall and a smooth inner wall. It belongs to the category of flexible pipes and possesses a variety of excellent properties and a wide range of applications.

I. Basic Definition
Material and Structure: The double-wall corrugated pipe consists of inner and outer layers. The outer layer features an annular corrugated structure, while the inner layer is a smooth wall. This structure not only enhances the pipe's ring stiffness but also improves its resistance to external pressure.
Material Selection: Commonly used materials include HDPE (high-density polyethylene) and other polymer materials, which offer excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and aging resistance.
II. Main Features
Lightweight and Flexible: Double-wall corrugated pipes are lightweight, easy to transport and install, and possess good flexibility, allowing them to withstand certain bending and deformation.
Strong Anti-Permeability: The smooth inner and outer walls of the pipe reduce fluid resistance, effectively preventing leakage and ensuring the sealing of the pipeline system.
Wear and Corrosion Resistance: Due to its special material and structure, the double-wall corrugated pipe exhibits excellent wear and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for various harsh environmental conditions.
Long Service Life: Under normal usage conditions, the service life of double-wall corrugated pipes can exceed 50 years, significantly reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
Easy Installation: The pipes are simple and quick to connect, with various connection methods available, such as socket connections and thermal fusion connections, improving construction efficiency.
III. Application Areas
Double-wall corrugated pipes are highly favored due to their excellent properties and wide range of applications. Their main application areas include but are not limited to:
Drainage and Sewage: Suitable for urban drainage and sewage systems, such as rainwater pipes and sewage pipes, effectively reducing noise and damage during sewage discharge.
Building Drainage: Used inside buildings as rainwater pipes, underground drainage pipes, and sewage pipes to ensure the smooth operation of the building's drainage system.
Ventilation Pipes: Used as ventilation pipes in places requiring ventilation, such as basements and tunnels.
Cable Protection: Due to their ability to withstand high temperatures and pressures and their excellent bending characteristics, they are often used as protective pipes for communication cables and optical fibers.
Agricultural Irrigation: Widely used in irrigation systems for farmlands, orchards, and gardens due to their flexibility and resistance to damage from animals and pests.
Road Engineering: Used as seepage and drainage pipes in road engineering projects such as railways and highways to ensure smooth road drainage.
IV. Production Process
The production process of double-wall corrugated pipes is relatively complex. It requires selecting corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant metal materials for the inner and outer walls and materials with high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and good elasticity for the corrugated isolation layer. The production process includes cutting the inner and outer metal pipes, stretching the corrugated isolation layer, assembling the inner and outer walls with the corrugated isolation layer, welding the inner and outer walls, and finishing the pipe's appearance. Each step must be strictly controlled to ensure the quality and performance of the pipes.
V. Installation and Maintenance
The installation of double-wall corrugated pipes is relatively simple and quick, but the following points should be noted during installation:
Material Preparation: Ensure all materials meet relevant quality standards.
Measurement and Marking: Measure the pipe length and direction according to design requirements and mark accordingly.
Pipe Connection: Clean the pipe ends and install rubber sealing rings before connecting the pipes.
Pipe Fixation and Pressure Testing: Use pipe clamps to secure the pipes to supports and conduct pressure tests to ensure firm connections without leakage.
Backfilling and Protection: After passing the pressure test, proceed with backfilling and lay a protective layer above the pipes to prevent external damage.
