Highlights
Pre-insulated
pipes (PIP) are used for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) in
building services They have been extensively used in Kai Tak District Cooling
System (DCS) in Hong Kong. The
pre-insulated pipe factory that we are going to visit in Taishan has
manufactured the PIP since 2018. Before
2018, this factory has been producing mild steel and ductile iron pipes for the
construction Industry for over 10 years and it continues its production at
Taishan factory. The current plant has
an annual production capacity of approximate 20,000m length of PIP.
Through
visiting the factory, participants will learn how the DCS can help to save
energy and also several tests such as hydrostatic pressure test, sand blasting
and quality control checking on exterior steel surface, wet film and dry film
checking, and insulation density test. Participants will also learn the
economic benefit from proper fabrication of PIP in a DCS.
