About PP Lined Equal Cross
Since 1993, we have occupied ourselves in manufacturing, exporting and supplying an extensive range of PP LINED EQUAL CROSS. The offered cross is designed for merging or splitting the fluid flow direction in pipeline that carry corrosive fluids. In order to manufacture this cross, our seasoned professionals utilize supreme quality high density polyethylene polymers and mild steel. Additionally, clients can avail this PP LINED EQUAL CROSS from us in different dimensions and diameters at cost-effective prices.
Features:
Advanced Corrosion ResistanceThe internal virgin PP lining delivers exceptional performance against a wide range of corrosive chemicals and acids, making this equal cross an ideal solution for industries handling aggressive fluids. The linings abrasion resistance, supported by a lining bond strength exceeding 5 kg/cm, helps maintain longevity and integrity under continuous service.
Robust Construction & Standards ComplianceManufactured with an IS 2062 certified mild steel (MS) body and state-of-the-art fabrication methods, this crosss body thickness is 8 mm and the lining thickness is 5 mm. Product meets ASTM, DIN, and ANSI standards, with flange drilling as per ANSI B16.5, DIN, or BS. Hydrostatic and leak tests are performed at 1.5x rated pressure, ensuring dependable and verified operation.
Easy Installation & Low MaintenanceDesigned for simple installation using standard piping tools, the PP lined equal cross requires minimal maintenance due to its smooth, non-stick lining. The cross features a rigid structure with consistent dimensional tolerance (2 mm) and can be cleaned easily, reducing downtime in demanding service conditions.
FAQs of PP Lined Equal Cross:
Q: How does the PP lined equal cross provide corrosion resistance in aggressive environments?
A: The equal cross features a virgin polypropylene (PP) lining that acts as a chemical barrier, protecting the underlying MS body from acids, alkalis, and corrosive fluids commonly encountered in chemical, pharmaceutical, and water treatment industries.
Q: What is the recommended process for installing the PP lined equal cross?
A: The cross comes with bolted flanged ends (flat face or raised face) and can be installed using standard piping tools. Ensure proper alignment, use an appropriate gasket (PTFE, EPDM, or as specified), and tighten bolts uniformly for optimal sealing.
Q: Which industries typically use PP lined equal crosses and why?
A: These fittings are widely used in the chemical processing, pharmaceutical, water treatment, and petrochemical industries due to their excellent corrosion resistance, long service life, and compatibility with corrosive or acidic media.
Q: What quality control and testing are performed before dispatch?
A: Each unit undergoes hydrostatic and leak testing at 1.5 times the rated pressure as per relevant ASTM, DIN, or ANSI standards. The lining bond strength and dimensional tolerances are also checked to ensure reliability and safety.
Q: What are the benefits of using PP lined equal crosses over traditional metal crosses?
A: PP lined crosses provide superior corrosion and abrasion resistance, reduced maintenance requirements, longer service life (10+ years), and resistance to both UV exposure and cleaning chemicalsmaking them a more cost-effective solution in harsh environments.
Q: Can the PP lined equal cross be customized for specific diameter and flange standards?
A: Yes, the product can be manufactured for diameters ranging from 15 mm to 300 mm, and flange drilling can be done as per ANSI B16.5, DIN, or BS standards to match your project requirements.
