Whether drinking water or wastewater – steel pipes are the backbone of our water infrastructure. But what is important when choosing a material?
🔹 Mechanical requirements
✅ High strength & resilience: resistance to internal pressure and external loads
✅ Ductility & fracture toughness: Deformability to prevent cracks in the event of vibrations
🔹 Corrosion protection & durability
✅ Rust & chemical resistance: protection against corrosion, especially in waste water systems
✅ Cathodic corrosion protection: protection against electrochemical corrosion
🔹 Hygiene & water quality (drinking water)
✅ Certified materials: DVGW, KIWA, WRAS-compliant coatings
✅ Smooth inner surface: Prevents deposits & biofilm growth
✅ Neutrality: No influence on taste & water quality
🔹 Sustainability & economic efficiency
✅ Recyclable & resource-saving
✅ Long service life & low maintenance requirements
🔍 Quality steel with the right coating ensures a long-lasting & reliable water supply
