General Properties of HDPE Polyethylene Pipes
HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) pipes are pipes with diameters between 20mm and 800mm and pressure classes between pn 4 (4 bar) and pn 32(32 bar).
HDPE is an abbreviation and stands for High Density Poly Ethylene. It is a high density polyethylene. HDPE is obtained by subjecting petroleum derivatives to various processes.
You can use HDPE pipes for drinking water transmission. The HDPE pipe system underwent many tests in 1950, especially on the transfer of drinking water. As a result of these tests, since the test reports were found to be positive, it was determined that HDPE pipes cause no harm on human health and therefore were put into service. Currently, one of the most commonly used pipes, HDPE pipe systems are economical, easy to transport, have high performance efficiency, easy jointing method, and they stand out with their ease of use
Pe100 pipe is a pipe produced with pe100 raw material, which is a type of high density polyethylene raw material. This product stands out with a higher liquid carrying capacity, especially at high pressure classes.
HDPE polyethylene pipes are also quite cheap, and the minimum service life of an HDPE pipe is 50 years.
Having a history of 60 years, HDPE pipes have been positively affected by the technological developments that have taken place until today and have become one of the most preferred pipes today. HDPE pipes; protect the general characteristics of the fluids passing through them. They can be easily used in drinking water systems, since they do not collect algae on their inner surfaces. Due to their chemical properties, they have high resistance to chemicals. It is quite easy to lay and shape them according to the slope due to their flexibility in flexible lands. Due to their high elasticity properties, their use is very convenient in regions with high seismic activity. They can adjust themselves according to the direction of the movement in ground movements, and do not rupture. The welding and jointing methods of HDPE pipes are very easy. Being light, they are easy to transport and therefore their transportation is cheap.
HDPE Polyethylene Pipe and Fitting Jointing Methods
Polyethylene pipes or fittings are combined by melting them together or by mechanical fittings. For pipes remaining on the polyethylene floor, they can be connected using various fittings, flanges or purpose-developed transition adapters.
Known jointing methods for PE materials;
- Electrofusion (EF)
- Butt-fusion (Butt Welding)
- Socket Welding
- Flange Connection
