Max Flow spiral rib pipe combines all of the most
essential elements of a storm drain system: hydraulic efficiency,
structural integrity, durability, & economics. Max Flow is one
product that should be included in all storm drain projects.
Hydraulics
Max Flow Spiral Rib Pipe is
hydraulically equivalent to other smooth interior pipe products. The
designer can now perform one hydraulic analysis and specify competitive
products. Hydraulic tests confirm that the Mannings n is 0.012 for Max Flow. Long pipe joints, prefabricated
junctions and a smooth interior constitutes Max Flow Spiral Rib Pipe as
the hydraulically premier product available.
Economy
Max Flow Spiral Rib Pipe is a
corrugated metal pipe product. All of the advantages attributable to
metal pipe applies to Max Flow.
A comparison of the pipe's
physical qualities are the first advantages usually distinguished
between the competing products. The standard joint is twenty feet in
length compared to eight feet for Reinforced Concrete Pipe. The
standard joint weighs approximately 10% to 20% than that of the same
size RCP. Typically the actual material cost
is lower than that of RCP or plastic pipe. If the prefabricated
fittings for manholes, inlets, outlets and elbows are all factored in
the cost savings for the material can be substantial.
