GCC produces Fedur piping with diameters from NW 450 to 1,600 mm and wall thicknesses from 12 mm to 75 mm. The minimum wall thickness combined with the ratio Top Layer – Base Layer is determined by working pressure and application, among other factors. The maximum wall thickness depends on the diameter and pipe length. GCC can produce Fedur pipes up to a length of 18,000 mm. Fedur pipes are the durable solution for particularly abrasive slurry transports. These pipes are commonly used in the dredging and mining industries.
Because of the Fedur wear resistance, the service life of a pipe line can be extended up to 12 times compared to conventional steel such as S235J2. Also due to reduced installation costs, Fedur reduces the cost of pipe maintenance.
Specific characteristics of Fedur tubes:
- Fedur with a guaranteed hardness of at least 62 HRc, usually 64 HRc (800 HV) up to the Base Layer.
- The Fedur Base Layer is ductile, tensile, tough and perfectly weldable.
- Choosing the right ratio of Base Layer – Top Layer creates a good balance between toughness and hardness.
- Fedur has a smooth surface thanks to its fine microstructure.
- Fedur can be connected to other piping, avoiding inner diameter differences (High-Lows).
- No additional weight compared to “conventional steel” bend.
- UT inspection also possible from outside.
- Fedur bends can be supplied with different connection methods such as: ASME flanges / DIN flanges / welding tape / GGMC or customer specified flange connection.
- Reducer bends also available.
- Fedur lasts up to 12 times longer than conventional steels such as S235J2.
