Advantages of Different Kinds floating dredging pipe
In nowadays, there are mainly four kinds floating dredging pipes, which is classified according to the pipe materials:
1, steel floating dredging pipe; 2 HDPE floating dredging pipe; 3, UHMWPE floating dredging pipe; 4, Self floating dredging pipe.
The following with the advantages and disadvantages of the different kinds floating dredging pipes:
No.1 Steel Floating Dredging Pipes:
Advantages:1, Steel pipe price is competitive;
2, High pressure;
3, suitable for large, sharp, hard rocks.
Disadvantages: 1, Installation cost and Maintenance cost is high;
2, Friction cofficient 0.13~0.16;
3, Using life is short;
4, Its production process will effect pollution to the environment.
No.2 HDPE Floating Dredging Pipe:
Advantages: 1, HDPE pipe price is 1.5 times of steel pipe;
2, Light weight, anti-corrosion, save installation cost and maintenance cost.
3, Friction cofficient 0.011;
4, Suitable for fine sand;
5, Its production process is environment friendly.
Disadvantages: 1, HDPE pipe can not bear high pressure(range from 0.4~1.6Mpa);;
2, Not wear resistant enough for medium sand and coarse sand; Not robust enough for large, sharp, hard rocks.
No.3 UHMWPE Floating Dredging Pipe:
Advantages: 1, UHMWPE pipe price is 1.8 times of steel pipe;
2, Light weight, anti-corrosion, save installation cost and maintenance cost.
3, Friction cofficient 0.009;
4, Suitable for fine sand, medium sand,coarse sand. For fine and medium sand, in the same condition, UHMWPE pipe is 3~4 times wear resistant than HDPE pipe and 6~7 times wear resistant than steel pipe.
5,Its production process is environment friendly.
Disadvantages: 1, UHMWPE pipe can not bear high pressure(range from 0.4~2.0Mpa);
2, Not robust enought for transporting large, sharp, hard rocks;
No.4 Self floating pipe
Advantages: 1, Flexibility;
2, Wear resistant;
3, Easy installation;
Disadvantages: 1, Its price is 8~10 times of UHMWPE pipe.
