Fangrør

Fangrør is a term often used in Danish to describe a specific type of pipe or conduit, particularly when referring to those used in plumbing or industrial applications. It literally translates to "fang pipe" or "catch pipe" in English, suggesting a function related to containment or channeling.

The term fangrør can encompass a variety of pipe materials and designs. In a domestic setting, it might refer to the pipework that carries wastewater from sinks, showers, or toilets. In a more industrial context, it could describe pipes used for transporting liquids, gases, or even solid materials within a manufacturing process. The specific material of a fangrør can vary widely, including plastics like PVC, metal alloys like steel or copper, or even specialized composites, depending on the intended use and the substances being conveyed.

The design of a fangrør is dictated by its function. It needs to be durable, resistant to corrosion or degradation from the materials it carries, and capable of withstanding the operating pressures. Connections between sections of fangrør are critical to prevent leaks and ensure efficient flow. The term itself is less about a specific technical specification and more about a functional description of a pipe's role in a larger system.
