Corrosion |
Gets easily corroded therefore ducts left for future get damaged |
Absolutely corrosion free. Therefore ducts remain intact for years together |
02 |
Weathering |
Substantial effect of weather, Alkali, acids etc |
No effect of weather, Alkali, acids etc |
03 |
Surface Coating |
Lead coating or galvanizing requires thereby increasing cost required |
No coating of any type is required |
04 |
Compression Strength |
Good |

05 |
Deformation by impact in service or handling |
Permanent deformation or dents occur |
On impact no permanent deformation or dents occur |
06 |
Flexibility |
Very limited or no flexibility |
Very good flexibility |
07 |
Bending |
A) Bending may damage overlap of helical joints resulting into leakage |
A) On bending the inner section remains circular. B) The peculiar manufacturing process leaves no chances for leakage |
