An All-New
CCP Brochure released A new
consolidated CCP catalog is currently undergoing its
final stage of editing. When released, clients would be
grateful to have such catalog containing all the details
they need in CCP piping. The catalog contents were
gathered from the different CCP standards and manuals.
It comprises of the features and benefits of CCP, pipe
and fitting designs, manufacturing process,
specifications, and as well as installation guide. Since
the catalog design was created in accordance with the new
Amiantit identity, it would surely come out as a clear
and concise reference to all.

FCPP
Brochure released
FCPP stands for Fiberglass-coated Pressure Pipe. An
all-new concrete pipe coating of Ameron S. A. has been
recently confirmed to be a more reliable solution in
pipe protection and a brochure of it has been produced
too enabling clients to read about the amazing studies,
developments, and essential functions of the said
coating.

Improved CCP Coating by Ameron Q.C.
and R&D
Ameron
has developed an improved coating for its Concrete
Cylinder Pipe (CCP). Research has been ongoing since
1997 and in 2002, Ameron entered into a contract with
King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM) in
Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, to study the coating system for
concrete pressure pipe and to enhance its performance.
Consisting of Fiberglass Reinforced Resin layer, the new coating provides added
protection for the CCP. In the application process,
fiberglass and resin are applied to the dry and smooth
surface of cement-mortar coating of the concrete
pressure pipe. Several tests have been carried out and
they showed excellent results such as bonding of the
concrete and fiberglass, resistivity, thermal cycle, and
hydrostatic testing.
The Fiberglass-coated Concrete Pressure Pipe (FCPP)
product has improved durability, corrosion resistance
and structural integrity, and this newly improved
concrete pressure pipe will be a better and safer pipe
to be used in the harsh environmental conditions of the
Arabian Gulf Regions.

Pipe
Inspection Method
ASAL
is using a mobile TV machine inspecting installed
pipelines without digging. “The Crawler FW225”,
manufactured in Germany is using a technology called
“Special TV”. With its axial and pan & tilt cameras, it is
capable of inspecting pipe diameters ranging from 225 mm up
to approximately 800 mm. The crawler is waterproof up to 1 bar
and propelled by two DC motors. The moveable camera
allows pictures to be recorded from the best possible
positions.
