BLUTOP
The BLUTOP® range
As the final link in the water cycle before consumption in our homes, distribution pipes play a crucial role in ensuring a reliable supply of high-quality water. BLUTOP® is a dependable, proven solution for small-diameter pipes, eliminating the need to choose between flexibility and corrosion resistance, between competitiveness and durability, and between innovation and tradition.
Product Specification
 | SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT The BLUTOP® solution was developed in keeping with the principles of sustainable development and delivers outstanding environmental performance. |
EXTENDED SERVICE LIFE As investment in renewing water supply infrastructure is declining in relative terms, water network managers are demanding longer service lives. Ductile iron components are not prone to ageing. Their mechanical properties remain constant over time. |  |
 | LEAKTIGHTNESS Reducing the amount of water lost in leaks from pipe systems is a major issue. BLUTOP® delivers a two-pronged solution, as ductile iron components (including pipes, fittings, valves and accessories) have an excellent reputation for both leaktightness and pressure resistance. |
LESS ENERGY REQUIRED FOR PUMPING Improving leaktightness reduces head losses, which in turn saves energy. |  |
 | INSTALLATION BLUTOP® revolutionises pipe installation and use. Pipe-laying operations are quicker because pipes and fittings can be transported by hand and inserted using a crowbar. |
OPERATION The BLUTOP® pipe range is compatible with existing plastic pipe networks and their related connection and maintenance accessories |  |
 | WATER QUALITY In accordance with the major European regulatory requirements, drinking water Certificates have been obtained for all materials used in the BLUTOP® range (DUCTAN® coating, epoxy, elastomers, lubricating paste and repair products). |

Potable Water
Saint-Gobain PAM supplies ductile iron pipelines throughout the world, allowing water to be transported from its source to treatment plants and places of consumption. PAM solutions cover the entire water transport cycle :
- gravity supply ;
- potable water distribution ;
- water treatment ;
Saint-Gobain PAM is involved in both the preservation of the 'water' resource (quality and quantity) and its transport in all situations (mechanical stresses, pressure surges, environmental constraints, etc.).
