Summary

Differences and advantages between flexible textile fabric innerduct and conventional pipelines.

Title
There are differences and advantages between fabric innerduct and conventional pipes (such as concrete pipes, prestressed concrete pipes, or prestressed steel cylinder concrete pipes) in multiple aspects:

Materials and Structure: fabric innerduct are usually made of fabric with a smooth inner surface, while conventional pipes are made of high-strength materials such as concrete or steel with a more stable structure.

Wind speed and resistance: fabric innerductmay have higher wind speed and lower resistance.

Cleaning and maintenance: fabric innerduct can be easily cleaned, reducing maintenance costs.

Environmental adaptability: fabric innerduct can better adapt to foundation settlement and earthquakes, reducing the risk of damage.

Deformation and Bearing Capacity: fabric innerduct can deform under stress, while rigid pipelines mainly rely on the strength of the pipe wall.

Installation and adaptability: fabric innerduct can bend and adapt to complex terrain, while rigid pipelines require precise support.

Maintenance cost: The maintenance cost of fabric innerduct is lower because they can be cleaned.

Environmentally friendly: fabric innerduct are typically made of lightweight, corrosion-resistant materials with minimal impact on the environment.

Application areas: fabric innerduct are commonly used in situations where they need to adapt to changes in the foundation, while rigid pipelines are suitable for high-pressure and high stability engineering.

Seismic performance: fabric innerduct such as ductile iron pipes have better seismic performance.

In summary, fabric innerduct have advantages in maintenance, adaptability, cleaning convenience, and environmental adaptability, while conventional pipelines are superior in strength, high-pressure applications, and stability. The choice of pipeline depends on specific engineering requirements and environmental conditions.
