Today it is still a reality that, despite the continuous developments in the technology of tangential extrusion on mandrels, some clients, engineers and contractors tend to prefer axially (conventional) extruded, solid wall PE pipes for the marine projects. They are probably not aware, that Krah can present many global successful projects where Krah Marine Pipes (KMP) have been used.

KMP - Outfall pipeline DN/ID 3400 mm

We carried out marine projects for desalination plants, power plants, sewage treatment plants and other intake/outlet pipelines. Here we used Krah Marine Pipes with a structured wall and with a solid (pressure) wall.

Obviously, nothing speaks against solid wall conventional axially extruded pipes, which have been familiar for many years –  as they were the state of art for many years. “Familiarity” means that, in general, no big effort is needed for the design and installation of this well-known “stuff”.

But unfortunately still until today, we,“Krah Pipe Producers, worldwide” need to convince engineers that our pipes are suitable for this application. Especially on the cost point of view we are a very attractive solution – not only for the pipe, but for the complete project including ballasting and sinking. So, we must improve our marketing and technical documentation to move from a niche market-player to a main player.

This is the third part of our “Frequently Asked Questions” section. In every issue we will answer some of the most asked questions we get from potential customers and interested parties about the Krah Technology.
Also feel free to send us some new ideas for our FAQ in he form below. We will try to publish as many as we can.

Powerful tool for take-away: Krah Pipes App

To improve the know-how transfer from us to our customer we choose the way of a free app, so after half a year of further developments, we are proud to present our latest improved Krah-Pipe Calculation App. The app can run without an internet connection, so you are free to use it nearly everywhere.

A small tool, but a lot of functions: 1. The first main part of the App is handling the field of hydraulic calculations:

• This feature enables you to calculate the flow speed and flow rate (according to ATV A110) just by entering your diameter, slope and filling height and rather choose your Kinetic viscosity and working roughness from a list ore entry a free chosen value.
• If you already got a flow rate and a filling height but need a diameter you can calculate this by tapping on “FIND THE RIGHT DN/ID” on the tab bar on the top of the page.
• Last but not least you can even calculate the right slope for your flow rate, diameter and filling height.

2. The second part is handling the field of “Storm water retention”:

• This feature is made for dimensioning storm water retention regarding to diameter, length and volume at different filling heights.
• On the “REQUIRED VOLUME” tab you are able to enter the volume you need and you will get a table with diameters between 300 mm and 2000 mm and 3 different filling heights showing you which length you will need.
• On the “AVILABLE LENGTH” tab you are able to enter your given length to calculate a table with diameters from 300 mm to 2000 mm and 3 different filling heights (full filling, 2/3 filling and 7/8 filling) showing you what volume you will need.

LAGUNA KRAH HEROES, is new expansion team that recently joined the MAHARLIKA PILIPINAS BASKETBALL LEAGUE.  Laguna Krah Heroes is team formed for Laguna province with Biñan City as the LGU Partner spearheaded by the most sports enthusiast, Vice Mayor Gel Alonte of Biñan City in Laguna.

The Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL)  is a regional men‘s professional basketball league in the Philippines. It is founded by no other than the World Boxing Champion, now a senator in the Philippines, Senator Manny Pacquiao.  The  League was founded in August 29, 2107 and started  the founding league with Bulacan Kuyas Team emerging as the Champion last year.

In January 25, 2018, the League kicked off its first formal  Inaugural MPBL CUP, The Anta Raja Cup where 10 Teams had participated and just recently,  last April 17, 2018, Batangas Atheletics Team  was the Champion and known to be the Team to beat in the League. The MPBL features both Regional Commercial and Barangay-Level League with teams on the commercial side to have a Home-locality. The League is initially organized in Luzon with plans to expand to include teams in the Visayas and Mindanao.  MPBL plans to conduct the next conference Season which will be patterned after the NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION (NBA) with additional expansion team including those from the Visayas and Mindanao Regions wherein the Teams will be divided into Northern and Southern Divisions.
