For the corrugated culvert application in highway construction, an standard is essential, if there is no any standard, we can not put the corrugated metal pipe on the design drawing. So if we want to explore an new market, check whether there is a standard for the corrugated metal pipe fistly.
Corrugated metal pipe has many standards in the world.
Corrugated metal pipe culvert is adopted in many countries, and it is so popular. Because it is for many engineering projections, It has to be according to a standard, then it can be adopted in the country. So we can see lots of standard in the world, each country has 1 or more standards for the corrugated metal pipe.
Sure, some country which does not have the standard of corrugated steel culvert, but the projection is designed by a foreign company from the country which has the standard of corrugated metal pipe, then it also can be adopted in the projection.
For us, as a corrugated metal pipe manufacture, we are happy that all countries has their own standard, then we can have a bigger market.Standard is important for us to explore market
We do exporting many years, and we suffer difference problem for exploring market, the most encountered problems are there is no standard in the country, then the local design company can not design the corrugated metal pipe in the projection. We can do nothing when we suffer this problem. Some time, we help customer to pass the application of the standard in his country. Sure, some customers are very confidence on corrugated metal pipe, they believe there is a big market in their country, and they prefer to be our agent. After co-operation, we will try our best, we will offer all technical assistant for our customer to get the standard as soon as possible, it will take a long time, normally 1 or 2 years. But by our co-operation, we will sell our corrugated metal pipe to the customer’s country.
Main standard in the world.
Though there are lots of standard in the world, the main adopted is America standard, Australia Standard, like AASHTO, ASTM A 761, AS/NZS 2041.1:2011, etc. In China, we also have two standard for the corrugated metal pipe, one is industry standard and one is country standard. As a manufacture,we can meet all standard of the world. The Chinese standard has most strict request on the corrugated metal pipe. So meet Chinese standard, then we can meet all standards in the world. By the way, for the material request, we prefer to adopt Chinese grade steel to be instead of other country grade, for example, we adopted Q235 to be instead of S235J, we adopted Q355 to be instead of S355.
