Application Scenarios
You can use these Pipe Floats for water transfer pipelines in reservoir water supply, river-crossing pipelines, municipal water projects, industrial cooling-water systems, mine-water management, water intake lines, discharge pipelines, and temporary water delivery networks.
For processing and resource projects, your floats can support slurry pipeline flotation systems, tailings transport lines, mineral-processing water pipelines, and floating pump installations. Their modular structure allows you to extend, relocate, or reconfigure the line when your operating area changes.
You can also install them in aquaculture water circulation systems, hydropower facilities, environmental water-management projects, coastal infrastructure, and marine pipeline support applications. Whether your pipeline carries water, slurry, or another approved medium, the float system helps you maintain a controlled position on the water surface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are pipeline floats?
Pipeline floats (also known as dredge floats or buoyancy modules) are devices attached to discharge pipes to keep them afloat on water.
How do I calculate how many floats I need for my pipeline?
You need to ensure total buoyancy exceeds total weight. Calculate the combined weight of the steel/pipe itself + the weight of the material inside (e.g., slurry/water) + accessories. The floats should provide at least 20-30% more buoyancy than this total weight to keep the pipeline floating properly (usually with 1/4 of the pipe diameter above water).
How long is the warranty period?
The warranty period shall commence on the date the Buyer hands over the goods to the Investor and shall terminate upon the earlier of the following two dates: eighteen (18) months from the date of handover by the Buyer, or twelve (12) months from the date of installation.
Are these floats suitable for seawater use?
Yes, absolutely. Polyethylene (PE) is highly resistant to saltwater corrosion, UV radiation, and chemical erosion. They are actually preferred over steel floats in marine environments because they never rust.
Can the pipe float inner diameter and outer branding be customized?
Yes. The internal profile can be produced around your specific pipe diameter to enhance contact and reduce movement. Additionally, custom colors, molded logos, serial numbers, and project codes are available for convenient identification and asset management.
What are the benefits of the rotomolded polyethylene shell and optional foam filling?
The rotomolded seamless polyethylene body provides excellent resistance to outdoor impact, UV sunlight, and changing temperatures. When paired with an optional closed-cell foam core, the float retains vital pipeline buoyancy even in the event of localized surface damage.
