A QUESTION OF SOUND-NEW ACOUSTIC TEST PROVES CAST IRONIS THE CLEAR LEADER!

摘要

The debate about the comparative sound qualities of various materials for soil, waste and rainwater systems has itself, at times, been fairly noisy. However, following independent testing to a new European standard, BS EN 14366, recently introduced, Saint-Gobain Pipelines is aiming to silence the opposition with results offering what is described as definitive proof that cast iron is the quietest material. "Hearing is Believing" comes hot on the heels of the damning evidence against the use of plastic-based drainage systems in the event of fire, in particular for multi-storey buildings because of the risk of fire spread down the building due to ineffective fire collars. The announcement of the acoustic test results Launches a new campaign from Saint-Gobain to prove unequivocally that cast iran should form the material of choice for above ground systems in all pubLic and commercial buildings.
