The individual ESSER pipe series have different degrees of hardness. Compared to pipes made of unhardened steel, they can last up to 10 times longer. Learn more about the right ESSER pipe for your next project.
Frequently-Asked Questions
Why are unhardened steel pipes less safe and practical for concrete pumping?
Unhardened steel pipes are less safe and practical for concrete pumping because they lack the necessary wear resistance to withstand highly abrasive pumped concrete. The mixture of cement, aggregates, and additives that makes up concrete can rapidly erode the inner surface of unhardened steel pipes, leading to faster thinning and potential ruptures. This not only increases maintenance costs but also poses a serious safety risk on job sites.
In addition to thinning, unhardened steel pipes can also deform under such high internal pressure, forming weak spots that can cause leaks or bursts during operation. For the highest performance and longest-lasting concrete pump components, you must choose hardened steel pipes.
How do hardened ESSER pipes improve concrete pumping performance and safety?
Hardened steel pipes from ESSER make concrete pumping safer because they resist the highly abrasive concrete better, reducing wear and extending the life of the system. The inner surface of ESSER hardened pipes is specially designed to withstand the harsh impacts of high-velocity concrete flow, ensuring a consistent and reliable pumping process. This durability means fewer maintenance needs and more operational efficiency on your job site.
Efficiency is key, but the safety of your employees is the most important factor. ESSER hardened pipes can reduce the risk of sudden failures that can lead to job site hazards. With a reduced risk of deformation and rupture, ESSER steel pipes provide a more stable and secure concrete pump system with less downtime and increased productivity.
How do I select the right ESSER steel pipe for my operation?
Most concrete pumping operations will rely on the ESSER 400, TWIN 700, or TWIN 900 series of pipes depending on their specific needs for steel pipe. If you need assistance selecting the appropriate steel pipe for your operation, we invite you to contact us directly for a free consultation.
