Pumps Lighter, strong, tougher C.R.I Pumps with over five decades of engineering expertise in pump industry, in keeping with its innovative spirit, presents a complete and comprehensive of uPVC Pipes that are made tough to take on any challenges. “In most Borehole installations the cost of the pipes is much more than that of the pumpset. With a long presence in the pump industry, C.R.I. has a strong determination to install the overall cost of the pumpset installation affordable. A rapid conversion has happened from metal pipes to plastic pipes as metal pipes have many short-falls like corrosion and longevity issues. C.R.I’s uPVC pipes shall be a good alternative to conventional iron pipes. Further the time taken for installing these pipes is three times less than conventional metal pipes. uPVC uPVC pipes are used as riser (column) pipes and comes with higher tensile strength. Which makes it to handle upto 35 bar pressure; Further, the pipes are light weight and free from maintenance and corrosion. C.R.I.’s uPVC column pipes are provided with patented Polymer Bonded Thread Sink (PBTS) locking system, another innovation from the C.R.I. R&D team. This unique locking system is used as a pipe coupler system to firmly couple the pipes. C.R.I. uPVC casing pipes are available from 115mm to 300mm diameter; uPVC plumbing pipes are available from 15mm to 150mm. These pipes are used extensively in South African markets for agriculture and for mining applications.
