General Features Of HDPE Polyethylene Pipes
Hdpe pipe, which is high density polyethylene pipes, has a diameter between 20mm and 800mm, and its pressure ranges between pn 4 (4 atm) and pn 32(32 atm).
Hdpe is an abbreviation, and its full English name is High Density Poly Ethylene, and its Turkish equivalent is high density polyethylene. Hdpe is obtained by subjecting petroleum products to various processes.
You can transport drinking water with Hdpe pipes. The HDPE pipe system has undergone many tests, especially regarding the transportation of drinking water, since 1950. As a result of these tests, HDPE pipes were put into use after it was determined that they had no harmful effects on human health, as confirmed by the positive reports. HDPE pipe systems, one of the most widely used pipes today, stand out with their economical, easy-to-install, performance-efficient, easy-to-assemble methods, and easy-to-use features.
Pe100 pipe is a pipe produced with pe100 raw material, which is a derivative of high-density polyethylene raw materials. These products stand out with their higher liquid carrying capacity, especially at higher pressure levels.
The prices of Hdpe polyethylene pipes are also quite cheap, and the minimum lifetime of an 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 up until today and have become one of the most preferred pipes today. HDPE Pipes; preserves the general characteristics of the fluids passing through it. Since it does not hold moss on its inner surfaces, it can be easily used in drinking water systems. Due to its chemical properties, it has high resistance against chemicals. Since it is flexible, it is very easy to lay and take shape according to the ground in sloping lands. Due to its high elasticity properties, it is very convenient to use in regions with frequent seismic movements. It can orient itself according to the direction of movement in ground movements and does not break. The welding and assembly methods of Hdpe pipes are very simple. Due to its lightness, it is easy to transport and therefore its transportation is cheap.
HDPE Polyethylene Pipe And Fitting Assembly Methods
Polyethylene pipes or fittings are joined by melting them together or by connecting them with mechanical fittings. For pipes that remain inside the polyethylene, it is possible to provide connections with various fittings, flanges, or, for specific purposes, specially developed transition adapters.
Known joining methods for PE materials are;
- Electrofusion (EF)
- Butt-fusion (Butt Welding)
- Socket Welding
- Flange Connection
Hdpe Polyethylene Pipe Usage Areas
- In clean water (drinking water) pipelines
- In pressurized water pipelines
- In natural gas pipelines
- In drinking water treatment facilities
- In solid material transportation
- In the transportation of solid wastes
- In the transportation of chemical substances
- In water cooling pipelines
- In sea discharge
- In connection lines between the main network line and the intermediate networks.
