Features & Benefits
- Excellent corrosion resistant:- Unlike metal pipes, uPVC casing pipes are completely immune to corrosion and oer good resistance to aggressive elements in the soil which could cause encrustation of well screens.
- Light in weight:- These pipes are light in weight which makes their transportation and installation very easy and cheaper than conventional materials.
- Quick and convenient installation:- These pipes can be easily assembled and installed using threaded joints. These pipes are suitable where drilling is done by hand, with light weight drilling rig or even with large capacity drilling machines.
- Excellent strength and stiness:- These pipes have excellent stiness and meet all the mechanical properties as per IS:12818.
- They have excellent hydrostatic collapse pressure that is capable of withstanding the external hydraulic pressure which these pipes would be subjected to during construction of the well.
- Non-toxic:- The material of the pipe is non-toxic and hence does not impart any taste, odour or colour to water. It also does not release any harmful substance in the water which could pose health problems. It also resists bacteria, making it completely safe for drinking water.
- Non-conductive:- uPVC is a non-conductor of electricity eliminating any electro chemical reaction with ground water which could cause encrustation of screens.
- Long lasting:- As the material is free from rusting, weathering and chemical reactions and with excellent mechanical properties, Vaibhav Polymers casing pipes last a lifetime.
- Economical:- Apart from all the advantages listed above, Vaibhav Polymers uPVC casing pipes and screens are the most economical bore-well solution as compared to other materials or even alternative uPVC casing pipes available in the market.
