Cast Basalt Lined Pipes & Fittings Manufacturers
Cast Basalt is a mineral of exceptionally high abrasion resistance, unlimited resistance to moisture, high compressive strength and resistance to virtually all acids and alkalis and is completely corrosion free. Cast basalt is produced by melting selected natural basalt broken into sizes of 20-50 mm in shaft furnaces at temperatures around 1,300C, following by casting at which the melted basalt forms uniforms pherolithic crystals hence producing its typical physical properties, in particular its exceptional hardness and wear-resistance. Cast basalt reaches a value of hardness of 8( min ) on the Moh's hardness scale. for comparision : the highest value10is only attained by dimonds. by virtue of these properties,the silicate cast basalt provides outstanding protection against abrasion and scrubbing . However, it is marked by ascertain sensitivity ti impacts.Under Normal services conditions, cast basalt withstands temperatures up to approx.+ 350C or-40C. However Cast basalt should n...
