Naturally perfect
Pipelines are the arteries of our modern industrial society. They
transport water, are indispensable in producing and moving
energy in many forms over enormous distances, and sustain in
countless other ways both life and the economy.
The significance of pipeline networks is so fundamental that
even a small error can cause major problems in a very short
time. Similar to interference with the eco-system, disorders can
lead to a chain reaction. First a single pipe fails - in the end, a
whole community grinds to a halt.
That's why we compare ourselves and our work to Nature and
the processes in an eco-system. Just like Nature, we produce
within a system, where the one process leads smoothly and pre-
cisely into the next. This approach brings us closest to our ideal:
pipes our customers can rely on, absolutely.
Unlike Nature, though, we tolerate no nonconformities in our
products. From the base material, steel, through to the finished
pipe, everything at Salzgitter Mannesmann Line Pipe must adhe-
re to our fixed ”genetic code“, which ensures that each indivi-
dual pipe is a model of perfection.
This brochure will tell you more about the pipes we produce for
water and wastewater systems. For all their diversity, there is
one decisive feature that the products in our range have in com-
mon: top quality.

Water pipe structure
While the required hygienic properties and corrosion protection
for the pipe inside surface are ensured by our cement mortar
lining, the pipe outside must additionally be protected against
mechanical damage. That's why our CSP (cement mortar-steel-
plastic) pipe features not just one coating but is also available
with an additional top coat of fibrous cement mortar as required.

The right protection for every application profile
Steel line pipe for the transportation of aqueous media is a com-
posite product made from various materials. Each of these mate-
rials plays its specific role in the design, contributing to the pipe's
outstanding service behaviour. Our MAPEC® plastic coatings are
extremely resistant to chemical attack, which means the steel
pipe they protect can be laid in all classes of soil without any res-
triction. For mechanical protection, a cement mortar coating can
be used. Optimum corrosion protection on the pipe inside surface
is provided by cement mortar linings matched to the intended
medium.

Corrosion protection
When assessing the reliability and service life of buried metal
pipelines, the type of corrosion protection applied – especially
on the pipe outside surface – is an essential factor. Decisive
Extra-strong PE coating*:
Salzgitter Mannesmann Line Pipe also offers an extra-strong variant of the
MAPEC® 3-layer coating with a top layer of 3,200 µm (= 3.2 mm). Here, the
total coating thickness is 3,500 µm (= 3.5 mm).
* special thicknesses on request
3. The third layer
Standard PE coating*:
The third layer completes the MAPEC®-3-layer coating and usually consists
of polyethylene (or optionally polypropylene). As a specially safe top layer,
it is applied to a thickness of 2000 µm (= 2.0 mm). This brings the total
thickness of standard coating for steel water line pipe up to 2,300 µm
(= 2.3 mm).
points in this context include the methods used to produce and
apply the protective coating, as well as the number and thick-
ness of the individual layers.
1. The first layer of the steel pipe coating is an epoxy resin primer which
is applied to a thickness of 100 µm (= 0.1 mm).
A direct comparison of coatings for metal pipes shows that steel
pipes are protected with a MAPEC® 3-layer coating, while ductile
iron pipes are still provided with a conventional 2 layer coating.
only removes any dust or dirt particles but also roughens the
surface so that the primer can adhere better.
2. The second layer is a special adhesive agent, which acts as a bond
between the primer and the top layer (PE or PP). In addition, it functions
as a corrosion protection layer with a thickness of 200 µm (= 0.2 mm).

Tried and tested
Salzgitter Mannesmann Line Pipe can draw on a century of
experience in the use of steel pipe for the transport and distribu-
tion of drinking water. And we're happy to pass on our knowled-
ge. In fact, outstanding expert advice is part of our
supply programme. It is also a central element of our quality
philosophy.
Talking with the customer is important to us. We listen attentive-
ly, because we know that many of the product designs estab-
lished in the market today were inspired by our customer's sug-
gestions. The steel socket pipe and the fibrous cement mortar
coating are just two of the many successful examples of such
cooperation.
Technical advice
The main pillars of our competence and success include:
• direct exchange of experience with our customers
• our own research and development activities
• cooperation with external research institutes
• participation in professional engineering bodies and
standards committees
The service life of our products is determined by the customer.
We help with the selection of the type of pipe required for the
application in question and can supply pipes for every conceiv-
able safety level. Our customers in the water industry have such
strict standards to comply with, they need a partner who will
advise them well, from the definition of the appropriate pipe and
the necessary corrosion protection and joining technology right
through to pipeline construction and startup.
Competence in practice

Why you always get the quality you expect from us
The water industry needs a partner who has been constantly out
in front, for decades now, when it comes to innovation, producti-
on and service.
Uncompromising quality in every aspect of our work
The first precondition for pipe longevity is continuous high qual-
ity in the manufacture, right through to the point of application.
That's why the quality philosophy at Salzgitter Mannesmann
Line Pipe covers the entire process - from the production of the
hot wide strip as the starting material for our pipes through all
the various stages of production right up to the technical sup-
port we provide in the completion of pipeline projects.
Technology leader
We are experts in all the technologies used in steel pipe pro-
duction. Back in the 1950s we introduced plastic coating for
steel pipe. And we know that ongoing improvement of the ma-
terials and processes we use is essential if we are to maintain
and expand our leading position in the industry.
Comprehensive quality management
Each pipe is manufactured with the same care and passes
through the same quality management from the starting material
to the final inspection. Our quality assurance is an integral part
of all aspects of the process flow, governing our daily work to an
extent far beyond the requirements laid down in the applicable
standards.
We spend millions on getting everything right
Our ultra-efficient pipe mills in Siegen and Hamm leave nothing
to chance. Meticulous inspection of the incoming starting ma-
terial and of the entire pipe production process ensure that only
products of perfect quality reach our customers.
Tested safety
Both our locations are fully equipped with state-of-the-art meas-
uring and testing facilities. It's almost like in a modern diagnosis
clinic, the way the pipes are subjected to a thorough-going
”check-up“: they're measured, weighed, and subjected to ultra-
sonic testing and visual inspection, followed by microscopic and
macroscopic evaluation of the results. They also undergo
destructive testing, so nothing at all is left to chance.
In very complex diagnosis cases, we have the full backing of our
Group's own research institute with its specialists in every area
of pipe science and technology.
Quality management
1313
Heat analysis
The steel we work with is extremely homogeneous and is made with the utmost
exactness to meet particular requirements. Each heat is subjected to analysis DIN
EN ISO 14284 to check whether its chemical composition is in keeping with the
applicable tolerances. This is re-checked at our mill in the form of one product
analysis per heat.
Cement mortar testing
In the course of its long service life, the lining of a CSP pipe is exposed to many
stresses, including corrosion, temperature variations, pressure and vibration. Com-
pression and tensile bending tests in compliance with DIN 1164 are carried out
regularly to check the resistance of the lining material to such loads. In addition,
the materials we use have been analysed and approved by external testing labor-
atories to verify their suitability for drinking water applications.
Monitoring fosters confidence
Tests and checks at Salzgitter Mannesmann Line Pipe are not
restricted to those prescribed by the various standards. We carry
out a large number of additional internal in-process checks and
tests in order to ensure the compliance of the processes with
our own much higher standards.
We inspect and check just about everything that's checkable.
Such start-to-finish monitoring guarantees to our customers that
each individual pipe complies with the applicable specifications
and maintains its outstanding properties for a long service life.
Each pipe is given its unique Q-ID-number as a ”quality seal“.
This means the entire manufacturing process can be traced
back, right through to the steelworks. With the pipe Q-ID, the
digitally stored test data can be called up for each pipe and the
precise status before and after each production step can be
ascertained. Just in case any doubts should ever arise.
Peel resistance of plastics
Plastic coatings have to protect the steel body in particular against corrosion, so
they must be very tough in their resistance to external influences (pressure,
impact, etc.). They must adhere firmly to the steel structure and not peel off or
come loose at all. This is verified by testing according to DIN 30670/DIN 30678.
In addition, all the MAPEC® coatings must be approved for the given application by
external laboratories.
In-process checks
At every stage of the production process, checks are performed to verify a pipe's
compliance ”in all its essential characteristics“ with the applicable specifications.
This includes dimensional checks (length, diameter, wall thickness), mechanical-
technological tests, hydrostatic testing for leaks, and measuring the layer thicknes-
ses both of the MAPEC® PE coating and the cement mortar lining.
Statistical evaluation of the results forms the basis for any necessary preventive
measures to ensure the continuous high quality of the processes.

The safe way to the site
Our work doesn't stop once the pipe passes its final works
inspection. Storage and logistics are part of our service, too.
The pipes are shipped, stored and stacked according to strict
regulations. Safe transport, without damage to the valuable
cargo, is also a quality feature of Salzgitter Mannesmann Line
Pipe.
We regularly stock a comprehensive range of different standard
pipes for water applications. This stock is designed for quick
delivery in emergencies as well as for medium-sized construction
projects. So we can ease the load on your own storage capa-
cities while you continue to maintain and expand your supply
system safely and flexibly.
Our logistics experts can take over all your inventory manage-
ment and the subsequent on-time delivery of the pipes to the
construction site. Our service package is rounded off by express
and emergency deliveries, overhead unloading, trucks - even for
long lengths -, stacking, transferring to storage, routing and
aggregated shipments.
Ship, rail or truck - we find the best form of transport for you, so
you can rely on having your pipes delivered safely and punctually,
to the furthest corner of the world.
