PRESSURE PIPE ROBUST BROWN RC 63X3,8 6M PN10 PE100 SDR17

Pipelife Robust RC is a new-generation protected pressure pipe suitable for network construction and rehabilitation. Pipelife Robust RC™ is a pressure pipe equipped with a detachable protective sleeve. The sleeve protects the flow pipe from scratches during transportation and installation and provides additional protection against local point loads when installed underground. Robust RC pipes are used as pressurized water mains, pressure sewers, gas pipelines, and for industrial process water in both trench and trenchless installations.

The flow pipe of Robust RC is manufactured from durable PE100 RC material, which excellently resists stress caused by point loads. The sleeve material is polypropylene (PP) plastic. It protects the flow pipe from external stresses during installation and surface loads from the installation soil, ensuring a long service life. The hard and tough polypropylene (PP) provides excellent additional protection for the flow pipe against external stresses.

Robust RC is excellently suited for installation using trenchless methods such as horizontal directional drilling and pipe jacking. Joints can be made using electrofusion fittings, butt fusion, or mechanical connectors. Before connection, the polypropylene protective sleeve must be removed from the connection area. When using electrofusion, in addition to removing the sleeve, the oxidized surface of the polyethylene flow pipe must be scraped. Robust RC is available in sizes DN 63–250; the sleeve is not included in the dimensional measurement. Products are supplied in coils, reels, and bundles. The protective sleeve identification colors are blue (for drinking water), brown (for wastewater), and yellow (for gas). Robust RC pipes have drinking water approval and the Nordic Poly Mark quality label. The pipes also comply with the requirements of standards EN12201 and EN1555.
