The lead pipe will be used in applications including electricity transmission, radiation shielding, water treatment, ship ballast and oil pipe lines.
Lead pipes have several inherent properties that make it useful in industrial settings, among these properties are radiation shielding, corrosion resistance, malleability, and flexibility.
Lead Pipes are used in applications in nuclear plants, in the chemical industry, plating processes as well as paper manufacturing and other applications where its properties are valuable.
Lead Pipe for these applications is made from either chemical Pure lead or up to 6% Lead Antimony Alloy.
Lead pipes are used in pulp and paper industry in cooling systems which use sulfur dioxide gases and in transporting the bleaching stock which uses hydrogen peroxide or zinc hydrosulphite and for draining the discharge from the pulp digesters.
Other applications for Lead Pipes are for Soil Waste, Ventilating, and telephone and telegraph underground piping, pressure tubes (copper lead) and cable sheathing.
In addition, Lead pipes are used in lead ballast applications and in some water drainage applications.
