RCC Hume pipes (Reinforced Cement Concrete) are high-strength, durable, spun concrete pipes reinforced with steel, ideal for drainage, sewage, and culverts. They are manufactured using centrifugal casting to ensure high density and a smooth finish. Available in various classes (NP2-NP4) for light to heavy loads, typical diameters range from 150mm to 2400mm.
- Types/Classes (Based on load):
- NP2 Class: Light-duty, used for drainage andculverts.
- NP3 Class: Medium-duty, commonly used for drainage.
- NP4 Class: Heavy-duty, designed for heavy loads.
- Sizes & Dimensions:
- Diameter: Generally available from 150mm up to 2400mm.
- Length: Standard lengths are 2000mm (2m) and 2500mm (2.5m).
- Wall Thickness: Varies according to diameter and class, generally ranging from 25mm to 185mm,
- Applications:
- Drainage systems and sewer pipelines.
- Culverts under roadwork.
- Irrigation water supply.
- Cable management.
- Advantages:
- Durability: High strength and long-lasting.
- Leak-proof: Suitable for water transport.
