Cast stone guide rails are commonly used in construction projects as a durable and attractive option for guiding pedestrian traffic, especially in outdoor or high-traffic areas. They are often designed to resemble natural stone materials such as limestone, sandstone, or granite.

Basalt, on the other hand, is a naturally occurring volcanic rock that is not commonly used as a primary material for guide rails. However, it is sometimes used as an aggregate in the mixtures used to make cast stone, which can give the final product a unique texture and appearance.

In summary, cast stone guide rail is not made from cast basalt, but basalt may be used as an aggregate in the mixture used to make the cast stone product. Cast stone is a man-made material that is designed to resemble natural stone and is often used for architectural and decorative purposes.

Cast stone guide rails, often an overlooked component, play a pivotal role in enhancing both safety and visual appeal. Let's delve into the world of cast stone guide rails, exploring their benefits, installation process, maintenance tips, applications, cost considerations, and more.

Ceramic lined equipment and bends

Hard & Compact Smooth & Inner Withstands High-Abrasion & Corrosion In any of the process industries especially Sled and Cement corrosion and abrasion lead to significant downtime of the plant. Further, the useful life or the equipment itself may get impaired because of the high abrasive nature of the materials being used. Thus, ‘wear mechanism’ results in hut down, replacement, etc., which is costly, resulting in loss to tilt: tunic of millions of dollars.


Characteristics

  • High resistance to all types of chemicals.
  • High resistant to sliding abrasion.
  • Non weld ability & smooth surface results ill easy How of materials.
  • Can With stand and temperature up to 200 C.
  • Smooth Surface and resistant to abrasion & corrosion.

Technical details:

  • Friction Resistance: As more material is passed over Cast Basalt, it gets polished up thereby reducing friction further. Cast Basalt improves in service after getting polished. Wetting also improves its performance in practical applications.
  • Impact Resistance: Direct Impact Resistance at a perpendicular angle is low like all other ceramics, but it can be increased with proper installation by reducing the angle of impact. Cast Basalt can be used to mitigate sliding abrasion. Moreover, external impact strength of composite basalt pipe (enclosed in M.S. Shell) is always more than that of bare Ni-hard Pipe.
  • Chemical Resistance: Cast Basalt is almost absolutely acid/alkali resistant (except Hydrofluoric Acid) and hence corrosion resistant.
  • Weight and Sizes: Basalt Tiles are available in regular shape square of 200 x 200 x 30 mm thick, weighing approximately 90 kg/sq. m; whereas bends and pipes are lined using Basalt Cylinders of various standard sizes from 50NB up to 500NB.
  • Temperature: Cast Basalt withstands temperature up to 450ºC.
  • Life: Life of basalt-lined pipe is estimated to be 7 to 10 times that of Cast Iron, and 3 to 4 times that of Ni-hard Steel.

Design aspects

The bend radius should be minimum 3 times of the nominal bore. At discharge end of each bend, cast basalt lined straight pipe of length 5 to 12 times the nominal bore must be used.

Design aspects

【H】 Ceramic lined pipe

Ceramic lined pipe is made through self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) technique.

【H】 Cast basalt lined steel pipe

Cast basalt lined steel pipe is composed by lined with cast basalt pipe, outside steel pipe and cement mortar filling between the two layers.

【H】 Ceramic Tile Lined Pipes

Ceramic tile lined pipes have very uniform coating of specially formulated ceramic material that is affixed to the inner of the pipe.

【H】 Rare earth alloy wear-resistant pipe

The material of the rare earth alloy wear-resistant pipe is ZG40CrMnMoNiSiRe, which is also the grade of rare earth alloy steel.

【H】 Tubes Erosion Shields

Tubes Erosion Shields are used to protect boiler tubing from the highly erosive effects of high temperatures and pressures thereby greatly extending tube life.

【H】 ASTM A213 T91 Alloy Tube

The ASTM A213 T91 seamless tubes are primarily used for boiler, superheater, and heat-exchanger.
