Hdpe Pipe

Advantage of HDPE Pipe:



1. LOWER LIFE CYCLE COSTS

Corrosion resistance. Does not rust, rot or corrode.
Leak tight. Heat-fused joints create a homogenous, monolithic system.

The fusion joints is stronger than the pipe. Water HDPE Pipe OD 20-1000mm PN8 PN10 PN12.5 PN16 PE100 Black Polyethylene Pipe
Maintains optimum flow rates. Does not tuberculate, has a high resistance to scale or biological build-up.
Excellent water hammer characteristics. Designed to withstand surge events.
High strain allowance. Virtually eliminates breakage due to freezing pipes.
Additional cost savings are achieved by lower instance of repairs.
With no ex-filtration or infiltration, potable water losses and groundwater nuisance treatment costs encountered in traditional piping systems are eliminated.



2. REDUCED INSTALLATIONS COSTS

Material of choice for trenchless technology. Used in directional boring, plowing, river crossings, pipe bursting and sliplining.
Fewer fittings due to pipe flexibility. Allowable bending radius of 20 to 25 times outside diameter of pipe.
Lighter equipment required for handling and installation than with metallic materials.
Eliminates the need for thrust blocking. Heat fused joints are fully restrained.
Light weight and longer lengths allow for significant savings in labor and equipment.



3. LEAK FREE

Polyethylene pipe is normally joined by heat fusion. Butt, socket, sidewall fusion and electrofusion create a joint that is as strong as the pipe itself, and is virtually leak free. This unique joining method produces significant cost reductions compared to other materials.


4. CORROSION, ABRASION, AND CHEMICAL RESISTANT.
Polyethylene pipings performance in mining, dredging and similar applications proves it will outwear many more costly piping materials when conveying a variety of abrasive slurries. HDPE has excellent corrosion resistance and is virtually inert. It does not need expensive maintenance or cathodic protection. It offers better overall resistance to corrosive acids, bases and salts than most piping materials. In addition, polyethylene is unaffected by bacteria, fungi and the most aggressive naturally occurring soils.
