ABS | Asmuss

ABS ( Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) pipework has been formulated to optimise performance in respect of tensile strength and ductility. The benefits of ABS piping systems, can make it the first choice for some demanding fluid handling applications.

Benefits

Impact Strength: maintains excellent impact resistance down to -40°C.
Tough: ductile material with excellent resistance against fatigue, notching effects and crack growth.
Abrasion Resistance: excellent wear properties for a wide range of slurries
Light Weight: approximately 1/6th the weight of the equivalent steel pipes allowing for a quick and simple installation.
Environmental Advantage: lead and chlorine free and is easily recycled.
Exceptionally Smooth Bore: low friction allows high flow velocities and inhibits the formation of scale.
Weather Resistance: does not corrode in weather and is resistant to sunlight so does not always require painting or wrapping.

Asmuss offers ABS pipe in 6, 9, 12 and 15 bar pressure rating, although offerings are limited in some sizes.

Fittings are designed to be used with all classes and pressures of pipe and are joined using a solvent cement technique. Threaded, flanged and shouldered end connections are also available when joining to different pipe materials, pumps or valves.
