Georg Fischer Piping Systems - Plastic and Metal Piping Systems

GF Piping Systems is one of the three core businesses of the Georg Fischer Corporation and a leading supplier of piping systems in plastic and metal with global market presence.

A secure supply of clean water is becoming one of the crucial challenges of this century. GF Piping Systems meets this worldwide demand by providing leak-free, rust-free plastic piping systems. Connecting technology, fittings, valves, measuring devices and pipes are used for water conveyance and treatment as well as the transport of liquids and gases for industrial purposes.

The comprehensive range of Georg Fischer piping systems with high-grade components is unbeatable in its flexibility.

CHEMICAL PROCESS INDUSTRY

Corrosion is no longer a problem when choosing the appropriate piping system from Georg Fischer. The harsh environment within chemical plants and the conveyance of chemicals place high demands on the piping systems in terms of safety, economic factors and subsequent maintenance.

PLASTICS CAN DO MORE

Most acids and bases are considered dangerous and are classified as substances hazardous to water.

Materials such as PE, Beta-PP, PE 100, PVC-U, PVC-C and PVDF are particularly suitable for this purpose because of their high chemical resistance to most corrosive media used in the chemical process industry. Choosing the most suitable material is prerequisite for each application.

PIPING SYSTEMS FOR THE TRANSPORT OF AGGRESSIVE AND ABRASIVE MEDIA

The Beta PP combines all the characteristics necessary for industrial piping systems construction:

• Excellent chemical resistance
• Higher impact strength
• Higher temperature resistance
• Less internal stress
• Excellent fusibility
• Homogeneous, finer structure
• Smoother inner surface
• Higher service life

We are able to offer an entire line of plastic piping components, all made of polypropylene homopolymer (PP-H). We supply pipes, fittings (socket and butt fusion fittings), manual and actuated valves. Customers and end users profit not only from the excellent characteristics of PP-H, but also from the unlimited compatibility.

SECONDARY CONTAINMENT PIPING SYSTEMS FOR PROTECTING PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Secondary containment piping systems for transporting aggressive, environmentally dangerous liquids are increasingly being deployed to raise safety levels and to protect people and equipment. These consist of an outer protective pipe with an integrated inner layer through which the medium flows. The space between the two controls leaks, or conveys liquids, or stabilises the temperature of the medium in the inner pipe. Due to their good chemical and mechanical resistance, plastics are ideal materials for secondary containment piping systems.

WATER TREATMENT FOR INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES

Water treatment is a complex technical process. High-quality technical plastics have captured a good market share for piping systems in this industry. Plastics are state-of-the-art technology for industrial piping systems of today. Georg Fischer has more than 40 years of experience and is one of the pioneers in this field of technology. Industry, however, is not all the same. There are untold differences in the requirements placed on a piping system. Georg Fischer supplies systems for all different types of water treatment.

Wastewater treatment is unthinkable without corrosion-resistant plastic piping systems. During in-plant pre-purification diverse acids, lyes, and other chemicals are removed from the waste water so that it may be transferred to the public sewage system without problem. Materials such as PVC-U, CPVC, PP, PE or PVDF are particularly suitable for such applications due to their excellent resistance to aggressive media.

MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL SYSTEMS

Georg Fischer supplies systems for many different applications - from agricultural irrigation, swimming pools and cooling systems to various water treatment plants and process piping systems in the chemicals industry. All systems are optimised with respect to economy and safety for customers, in the metal refining and paint industries, in semiconductors and in pharmaceuticals and life science.

Customers around the world depend on Georg Fischer for quality flow and analytical products which are simple to operate, and generate reliable results for all their process requirements. The products include a full range of flow and analytical sensors, transmitters, monitors, controllers and fittings for process monitoring and control.

Our companies are certified to ISO 9001:2000/ISO14001:1996.

Sales companies in 25 countries and representatives in another 80 countries ensure customer support round-the-clock. Manufacturing sites in Europe, Asia and the U.S. are near the customers and meet local requirements.
