QUALITY ASSURANCE
Ghodran PVC Pipes manufacture on High performance extruders with advanced process control and monitoring system permit increased rate of production over the entire diameter ranges, adhering to the highest quality.
At Ghodran Factory, sophisticated quality control procedures and advanced manufacturing techniques work hand in hand to assure the highest quality and dimensional consistency in thermoplastic piping products.
This is our long-term commitments to the customers, from the receipt of Resins to the final stages of productions, Ghodran Pipe factory maintains stringent quality control program by qualified technical personnel using sophisticated procedures, with latest equipment. By both online QC checks and in lab tests are conducted.
Ghodran Pipes subjects its full line of Pipes to Hydrostatic Pressure test as per the design data, to check the suitability of the product to the applications.
Ghodran Pipes Laboratory is well facilitated to confirm that the products manufactured are to standard specifications.
ADVANTAGES OF GHODRAN UPVC PIPES
Unplasticised PVC is one of the most important developments of last few decades as it reduces the cost and improves the reliability of pipeline installations. The properties can be varied by small additions of modifying agents which have definite and controlled mechanical properties. They can be fabricated to close dimensional tolerances, light without being weak, rigid without being brittle.
Furthermore, this material can be converted in to pipes and fittings by very direct process of extrusion or injection moulding even though these processes demand heavy elaborate machinery and very precise process.
The principal reason for the great economy of Ghodran pipes is not so much their cost per meter as delivered to site but rather the dramatic, reduction in installation costs which can be achieved by intelligent exploitation of their light weight, availability in longer lengths, ease of jointing and their immunity from corrosion. These characteristics are of even greater importance of engineers now that the need to carry out water supply and sewerage schemes, industrial plant installations, etc. at minimum cost and maximum reliability.
Non – Corrosion:
GHODRAN UPVC pipes resist corrosion caused by acid, alkalis, oils, salts, moisture and the media inside and outside the pipe. It is particularly reliable for resistance to the severe climatic and soil conditions in Saudi Arabia.
Sanitary:
GHODRAN UPVC pipes are entirely non – toxic. It will not affect the taste, smell or color of water or liquid non-react with any liquid to cause a precipitant.
Low Flow Loss:
GHODRAN UPVC pipes have smooth surface which minimize resistance and impede the buildup of deposits and corrosive scales.
Mechanical Strength:
GHODRAN UPVC pipes have great tensile strength yet they are flexible enough to withstand displacement in the pipe line. They will not dent or flatten under pressure.
Light Weight:
GHODRAN UPVC pipes are incredibly light. Their specific weight is one fifth of steel pipe. This cuts down transportation costs and facilitates the installation of pipes and reduces its cost.
Ease of Installation:
GHODRAN UPVC pipes are quick and easy to install, with a range of fittings, using solvent cement or rubber joints. Joints are leak-proof. UPVC pipes can be cut easily for installation.
Ease of Maintenance:
GHODRAN UPVC pipes can be quickly repaired with a minimum of complications or cost.
Fireproof:
GHODRAN UPVC pipes will not support combustion. In event of fire, flames are unable to travel along the pipe. It is self-extinguishing.
Insulator:
GHODRAN UPVC pipes are ideal for electric conduits. Because uPVC in itself an integral insulator, it eliminates the possibility of electrolytic corrosion which so often destroys underground piping.
APPLICATION AREAS OF GHODRAN UPVC PIPES
Water Supplies:
Non- Toxic GHODRAN UPVC pipes will not affect the taste, color or smell of drinking water. They will never corrode and are therefore extremely sanitary. Deposits and scales will not build up inside as in the case for conventional steel pipes. Their strength is greater than that of asbestos pipes.
Irrigation Systems:
GHODRAN UPVC pipes are ideal for agricultural irrigation and sprinkler systems. Non- corrosive and perfect for carrying water which contains chemical fertilizers and insect inhibitors. In thick wall and large diameter GHODRAN UPVC pipes liquids can be transported under high pressure, which is convenient for the management of large farms.
GHODRAN uPVC pipes Casing and Screen:
Engineering difficulties and the probability of the adverse chemical reactions, make it impractical to overcome corrosion and encrustation through the use of protective coating, chemical treatment or cathodic protection. Thus, GHODRAN non – corrosion PVC pipes for water well casing and screens rapidly received approval by appropriate ministry consultants and engineers.
Industry:
Resistant to most chemicals, GHODRAN UPVC Pipes have an important role to play in industrial plants. Light, non – corrosive and easy to assemble, they allow more complex piping work than with steel or cast – iron pipes.
Soil, Waste and Drainage Sewer System:
Waste lines for corrosive gases, ventilation for office buildings and factories; drainage system for private homes and elevated highways, these are few of the many possibilities for GHODRAN UPVC pipes.
Mining:
GHODRAN uPVC pipes particularly are well suited for drainage corrosive liquids found in mines. They make ideal vent lines for pits because they are easily installed in hard to reach places.
Electrical and Telecommunications cables:
GHODRAN UPVC Pipes and conduits form an integral insulator, hence there is an ever – increasing demand for them as electrical conduit. To facilitate work, a full line of range is available and even fabricate fittings from the same material as the pipes.
