1. How do you make clad?
KLAD utilizes three methods of manufacture to produce metallurgically bonded clad piping products. (See Manufacturing Techniques)

2. Is clad a "liner"?
KLAD products are not characterized as a "liner". All of our products are metallurgically bonded metals that physically behave as one material.

3. What sizes can KLAD produce?
Production quantities start at 4" pipe size, but we are able to manufacture smaller diameters depending on the application. There is no limitations on larger sizes.

4. What cladding method is most economical?
This always depends on the size, quantity and schedule of the project. Since KLAD is able to produce clad piping with many different methods, we will offer the most economical solution.

5. What is the relative cost difference between solid alloy and clad piping materials?
Its difficult to state an approximate price difference since it depends on the size and grade of cladding material. But, the price differences dramatically increase as the wall thickness increases and the higher alloy for cladding utilized.

6. How are KLAD pipe and components inspected?
All KLAD pipe and components are fully inspectable with standard NDE techniques.
