Basalt pipes

Nowadays, basalt products, particularly pipes, are high-strength materials for repair and construction with a wide range of applications. ABRESIST products made from this natural material are used not only in the repair work of primary and auxiliary industrial installations but also in sewage and drainage systems (including collectors, shafts, pipelines), in grain processing enterprises, glass and paint production, and dairy and margarine manufacturing.

Using advanced technological developments allows for the production of stone liners installed in pipes from basalt. Due to the improved properties of the material obtained from molten rock, such products provide reliability, strength, and, most importantly, a long service life. Pipes lined with cast stone inserts have proven effective in systems frequently encountering intense abrasive wear and exposure to aggressive chemical environments, such as acids and alkalis.

Pipes with cast stone inserts using basalt technology offer the following advantages:

  • Enhanced abrasion resistance;
  • Resistance to chemically aggressive substances;
  • High resistance to corrosion formation;
  • Notable frost resistance of cast stone;
  • Excellent accuracy in forming products from molten rock;
  • Reduced weight, facilitating installation and assembly;
  • Increased durability of all basalt products.

Pipes equipped with basalt inserts ensure safety and a long service life while being easy to install and requiring no complex technical skills. An important bonus is their cost, which, combined with quality, meets European standards.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

What are basalt pipes?

Basalt pipes are steel or standalone pipes internally lined with cast stone. The basalt layer protects the walls from abrasion when conveying abrasive materials such as sand, slurry, ore and ash.

How durable are basalt lined pipes?

Thanks to basalt hardness (about 8 Mohs) cast stone lined pipes last 5-10 times longer than steel on abrasive flows, cutting downtime and replacement costs.

Which media suit basalt pipes?

Hydraulic and pneumatic transport of abrasive and chemically aggressive media: slurry, pulp, ash mixtures, sand, cement. Basalt resists acids and alkalis.

What diameters of basalt pipes are available?

Pipes and elbows are produced in various diameters for the specific conveying system. Size and lining thickness are selected by flow parameters and abrasiveness.

Can existing pipelines be lined with basalt?

Yes, both new pipes and the most worn sections of existing lines - elbows and bends - can be protected with cast stone inserts.
