| Pipelines are to be found in all areas of the technical equipment of wastewater treatment plants. They are subject to
numerous loadings due to forces (static and dynamic), corrosion (caused by the medium and/or the environment), abrasion, erosion, temperature (heat, cold) etc. The choice of the pipe materials and the dimensioning of the pipelines with regard to diameter and wall thickness require a high degree of specialist knowledge, above all with regard to types of loading, the material characteristics, the possibilities for working and, not the least, the numerous standard specifications and regulations associated with these areas. Using the Advisory Leaflet, planners, those requesting
tenders and those responsible for decision making are to be given an aid for the achievement of technical and economical solutions. In many cases proven solutions can be recommended, in other cases attention must be drawn to technical documents and regulations, in order to develop correct standards for the requesting of tenders and the implementation in plant construction. |
