In the process of providing better products to the user KiTEC Industries (India) Pvt Ltd has introduced uPVC silent pipes with unique flute wall construction.

KiTEC_Silent is a system of pipes that is specially designed to reduce the noise that accompanies the evacuation of wastewater and rainwater, and also decrease the sounds that often occur when substances travel through sanitary pipes.

With its innovative structured wall construction, KiTEC_Silent is the latest technological innovation in sound insulation systems.

The unique flute wall construction protects the inner core layer from external factors. This unique flute wall construction traps the sounds that occur in in the pipes, and notably reduces noise in the pipe system.

KiTEC_Silent is designed for the evacuation of wastewater and rainwater in down pipe sections as well as general drainage connections in buildings that place great importance on a noise-free environment for residents.

What is noise?
We usually refer to noise as any sound that bothers us, either because of its intensity or persistence. Noise caused by constant knocking or percussion – like drums – is what we find most irritating. Long-term exposure to this type of noise can cause deafness or stress in humans and, for this reason, it is very important to minimise the impact between materials.

How is noise measured?
The most appropriate way of measuring noise is by sound intensity, which is expressed in decibels [dB(A)]. This is a subjective measurement adapted to human hearing, and means that an increase of 3 dB(A) in a particular noise represents twice the power of the noise emission.

How is noise transmitted?
Noise is transmitted by the vibration of a material, which can be a solid, liquid or gas (such as air). The resistance offered by a material to noise depends on its density, and in turn determines the speed of the sound wave. When the medium changes – for example, a sound moves from water to air – part of the energy is absorbed, part is reflected (it bounces) and the rest is transmitted (passed on to the other medium).

How does KiTEC_Silent work?
Structured wall
Basic construction regulations recommend that noise should not exceed 25 dB(A) in a transmission between adjoining rooms. The unique flute wall construction of KiTEC_Silent ensures a noise level that is well below this limit.

Spiral Ribs on inner wall
The spiral ribs on inner wall reduce the velocity of the fluid as well as breaks the fluid layer in turn reduce the sound level. Apart from reduction in noise level the ribs avoids the siphoning and blow offs.

Advantages of this system
• Reduced noise level
• Increased UV resistance
• Light weight
• Economical
• Corrosion resistance.
