TYPES OF DRAINAGE PIPES

WASTE PIPE, SOIL PIPE, STORMWATER PIPE, VENT PIPE

THE SELECTION OF PIPING MATERIALS FOR THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM DEPENDS ON THE FOLLOWING:

1. PRESSURE 5. INITIAL COST

2. VELOCITY 6. INSTALLATION COST

3. TEMPERATURE 7. OPERATING PROBLEM

4. CORROSIVENESS OF THE MEDIUM CONVEYED WITHIN

COMMON DRAINAGE PIPES AND FITTINGS MATERIALS USED

A. ASBESTOS CEMENT PIPE (ACP)

B. CAST IRON SOIL PIPE (CISP)

C. CONCRETE PIPE

D. PLASTIC PIPE

I. POLYETHYLENE (PE)

II. POLYVINYL CHLORIDE (PVC)

COMMON TYPES OF PIPE FITTINGS

1. BENDS (ELBOWS)- ARE USED TO COMPLETE CHANGE OF DIRECTION IN SOIL, WASTE AND

DRAIN LINES IN HORIZONTAL, VERTICAL AND DIAGONAL DIRECTIONS.

2. Y (WYE) BRANCHES- ARE USED FOR CHANGE OF DIRECTION (DIAGONAL) AND BRANCH

CONNECTIONS OF SOIL, WASTE AND DRAIN PIPES.

3. T (TEE) BRANCHES- ARE USED TO JOIN 3 OR 4 PIPES AT PERPENDICULAR DIRECTIONS.

PROPERTIES:

DIAMETER: 75MM (3’) TO 900 MM (13’)

LENGTH: 3.00M (10’) OR 4.00M (13’) FOR 75, 100, 150MM.

CONVEYING SYSTEMS

Conveyor Design Factor

TYPE AND AMOUNT OF ITEMS TRANSPORTED, REQUIRED SPEED, SORTING TIME OF ITEMS,
PICKUP POINT LOCATIONS, REQUIRED DIMENSIONS,

Where are Conveyor Systems Used?

TRANSPORTING PEOPLE, MINING AUTOMOTIVE, AGRICULTURAL FOOD & BEVERAGE,
MANUFACTURING & PACKAGING WAREHOUSE

BUSINESSES USING A CONVEYOR SYSTEM CAN LOOK AT CERTAIN ASPECTS TO ENSURE THE
CONVEYOR(S) WORK AT OPTIMUM
CAPACITY:
•REGULAR INSPECTIONS;
•SYSTEM AUDITS;
•CLOSE MONITORING OF MOTORS;
•ENSURING SPARES ARE IN STOCK FOR CHANGEOVERS.

Common Types of Conveyors

Elevator, Escalator,
