Cast basalt is produced by melting basalt rock and then shaped into tiles or cylinders. The special heat treatment process forms a fine crystalline structure that gives cast basalt its outstanding qualities to resist sliding abrasion. Cast basalt is used to enhance the life of various process equipments in power plants, steel and cement plants.
The pipes and bends are supplied ready for installation. Cast basalt is best wherever sliding abrasion exists. Moreover, external impact strength of composite basalt pipe (enclosed in m. S. Shell) is always more than that of NI-hard
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.
