Does centrifugal cast iron pipe work well with lining cement? Will it scale and breed bacteria?

Answer:

The situation in use abroad seems. It is considered that the corrosion of the inner wall of the centrifugal centrifugal ductile iron pipe and the rupture of the pipe are easy to occur when the content of chloride ion exceeds 5O0PPm in the pipe laying environment. This is mainly because, because the cement paste protection layer is the late spraying construction, it is not good to combine with the prefabricated core tube. It often causes water or moisture to seep in and causes oxidation and corrosion of the prestressing steel bars, resulting in fracture. The adhesive interface between cement mortar and centrifugally cast iron pipe is not reasonable. Because of the water absorption of cement, when the water enters the pipe, it is easy to destroy the interface and corroded the inner wall of the centrifugally cast iron pipe. Because it is a brittle material, it is easy to cause sudden accidents.
From the centrifugal ductile cast iron pipe with cement production process to analysis, the most core pipe by centrifugal molding, concrete water cement ratio, the centrifugal force, the coarse aggregate to the outer wall of the pipe and the pipe inside; because of fine aggregate and water removal, strength and wear resistance variation. When the inner wall of the pipe by long-term washing and soaking water, and inner wall wear and erosion, as the roughness increases, head loss increases, you will need to increase the pump lift, and operation cost for power consumption increases, also greatly increased.
Poor hydraulic performance and high energy consumption. The roughness coefficient of the prestressed reinforced concrete pipe is between 0.013 - 0.014, so that the pipeline resistance of the pipeline with the same pipe diameter is higher than that of the same water content. Because of its high roughness, after a period of use, the pipeline will be blocked by bacteria, shellfish breeding and reproduction. As the service life increases, the inner diameter of the pipe will gradually shrink and the resistance will increase.
