1. Various tubes and production processes
Pipe and tube manufacture can be described in four main stages:
the dosage of the various elements in the raw material;
raw material plasticization and mixing;
the conformation of this material to obtain a tube or pipe;
calibration and cooling of the tube or pipe;
coil storage for small diameters, otherwise fixed-length cutting.
Tubes or pipes can be divided into five main families:
the first concerns water supply pipes (initial application) and gas pipes for urban networks;
next, distribution pipes, as their name suggests, distribute water or gas to homes;
