Products and Services
The Company's proprietary technology includes the highly advanced continuously advancing mandrel process used to produce glass-reinforced FLOWTITE pipes in diameters ranging from 100mm (4-inch) to 4000mm (157-inch).
Although the process was originally invented in Denmark in the late 60`s, countless improvements in both the product and process technology continue even today.
Pipe with operating pressures up to 32 bar (450 psig), diameter dependent, can be accommodated. To accommodate a wide range in burial and installation conditions, FLOWTITE pipe is also available in three stiffness classes (EI/D3) - 2500, 5000 and 10000 N/m2.
Custom designed pipes to meet unusual performance or installation conditions can also be accommodated.
Each Flowtite operation has a well-trained staff of field engineers. For each project, the field engineers work with the installation contractor, engineer and owner to ensure that the proper installation of FLOWTITE pipe is understood and achieved.
