General Properties of HDPE Polyethylene Pipes
Hdpe pipe, which is high density polyethylene pipe, has a diameter between 20mm and 800mm and pressure values between pn 4 (4 bar) and pn 32 (32 bar).
Hdpe is an abbreviation and its English acronym is High Density Poly Ethylene and its Turkish acronym is high density polyethylene. Hdpe is obtained by processing petroleum derivatives through various processes.
You can carry drinking water with Hdpe pipes. HDPE pipe system has passed many tests especially in the field of drinking water supply since 1950. As a result of these tests, HDPE pipes, whose health reports have been found positive, have been offered for use after it was determined that they do not harm human health. HDPE pipe systems, one of the most commonly used pipes today, stand out with their economical, easy to carry, performance efficiency, easy joining method, and easy to use.
Pe100 pipe is a pipe produced with pe100 raw material, which is a derivative of high density polyethylene raw materials. This product stands out with its higher liquid carrying capacity, especially at high pressure values.
Hdpe polyethylene pipe prices are also quite cheap and the minimum life of hdpe pipe is 50 years.
HDPE pipes, which have a history of 60 years, have been positively affected by the technological developments that have taken place until today and have become one of the most preferred pipes. HDPE Pipes; It preserves the general characteristics of the fluids passing through it. It can be easily used in drinking water systems as it does not hold algae on its inner surfaces. Due to its chemical properties, it has high resistance against chemicals. It is very easy to lay on sloping terrains and to take shape according to the slope due to its flexible structure. Due to their high elasticity properties, they are very comfortable to use in regions where seismic movements are frequent. It can orient itself according to the direction of movement in ground movements and does not cause breakage. The welding and assembly methods of Hdpe pipes are very simple. It is easy to carry due to its lightness and therefore its transportation is cheap.
HDPE Polyethylene Pipe and Fitting Joining Methods
Polyethylene pipes or fittings are joined together by melting them or by connecting them with mechanical fittings. Pipes that remain on the outside of the polyethylene can be connected with various fittings, flanges, or transition adapters developed for the purpose.
Known joining methods for PE materials;
- Electrofusion (EF)
- Butt-fusion (Butt Welding)
- Socket Welding
- Flange Connection
