Rib Steel PVC Pipe Technical Specifications
Rib Steel PVC Pipe Technical Specifications
Application: The Rib Steel structured wall PVC pipe is used for conduction
black waters stormwater collectors in sewage networks y
drinking water conduction, it is also used in the piping of rivers, piping of canals
for irrigation, for drainage in road crossings, absorption wells, and for control of
rainwater avenues. [The maximum pressure it can withstand is 7.25 PSI]
Como It works, use or install: The Rib Steel structured wall PVC pipe is a
new generation in flexible pipes, the manufacturing of the tube is carried out following standards
Colombian techniques (NTC) and other international standards. Based on a PVC profile.
of structured wall, in a process of assembly of helical profile with a double system of
closure, the first is a mechanical closure achieved with a tongue and groove, and the second is with
the placement of special adhesives that bond cold and achieve the chemical union of the area
of the tongue and groove, ensuring hermeticity in the system. The joint of section to section is
obtain by placing a union profile, made of the same raw material, on the inner part of the
duct and adding a special adhesive and sealants with which it also achieves cold fusion
the entire contact area between the union profile and the duct. This tubing has a coefficient
the roughness of 0.009 which achieves a great hydraulic efficiency.

Installation Process
The ones from the Rib Loc family can be installed using the
typical processes specified by AASHTO, etc. for pipes
flexible thermoplastics (See Field Manual for
Facilities). There are also alternative methods to
very specific filling conditions that have been
of great success for certain applications.
