| Abstract/Contents: | Overviews the history of the pitch fibre pipe, which has a "development history of at least 150 years." States that "the pipe is 70% pitch by weight and consequently has excellent chemical resistance." Adds that the pipe has good hydraulic flow properties and is quick and easy to install. Details that soil water consists of either hydroscopic water, capillary water, or gravitational water. Highlights that although pitch fibre pipe is initially more expensive, after 50 years there is significant cost savings. |
