Nowadays asbestos cement pipes still are very popular on building market.

still are very popular on building market:
- pressure pipes - for the pressure 6-12 atmosphere Ø 100-500 mm, L=5 m,
- non-pressure pipes - Ø 100-200 mm L=5 m.

Application:

pressure pipes - industrial and drinking water supply; as a casing for electrical cable; ductwork; sewerage system; drainage system; pipe casing for well tubes, water supply piping, heating mains, columns, garbage chutes, meliorative systems.
non-pressure pipes: nonpressure pipelining, sewerage system, drainage, ductwork, telephone cable system. Nonpressure pipes can be supplied with polyethylene or asbestos cement couplings without rubber rings. These couplings provide easy and reliable connection.

Advantages: durability, corrosion resistance, resistance to aggressive environment, incombustibility. Pipes do not evolve toxic gases; they are cost effective; they provide good flow capacity leading to energy saving during liquid pumping.
For the connection of asbestos cement pressure pipes asbestos cement couplings with rubber rings are used. This type of connection ensures good sealing.
