General Properties of HDPE Polyethylene Pipes
The diameter of Hdpe pipes, namely high-density polyethylene pipes, varies between 20mm and 800mm, and their pressure classes range from pn 4 (4 bar) to pn 32(32 bar).
Hdpe is an abbreviation and stands for the first letters of High Density Poly Ethylenin in English, and its Turkish equivalent is high-density polyethylene. Hdpe is obtained by subjecting petroleum derivatives to various processes.
You can carry potable water with Hdpe pipes. The HDPE pipe system has undergone numerous tests, particularly in terms of carrying potable water since 1950. As a result of these tests, it has been determined that HDPE pipes, whose test reports turned out to be positive, cause no harm to human health, and were later offered for use. HDPE pipe systems, one of the most widely used pipes today, stand out thanks to being economical, easy to carry, performance efficient, easy to connect, and useful
Pe100 pipe is a pipe produced with the raw material pe100, a derivative of high-density polyethylene raw materials. This product stands out with its higher fluid carrying capacity, particularly under high-pressure conditions.
The prices of Hdpe polyethylene pipes are also quite affordable, and the minimum service life of an hdpe pipe is 50 years.
HDPE pipes, which have a history of 60 years, have been positively affected by the technological developments experienced until today and have become one of the most preferred pipes today. HDPE Pipes; preserves the general characteristics of the fluids passing through them. Since moss does not form on their inner surfaces, they can be easily used in drinking water systems. Due to their chemical properties, they have high resistance against chemicals. Since they are flexible, it is very easy to lay them on sloping terrains and give them a shape according to the slope. Thanks to their high elasticity properties, their use is very convenient in regions with frequent seismic movements. They can orient themselves according to the direction of the movement during ground movements and do not break. The welding and assembly methods of Hdpe pipes are very simple. Since they are light, they are easy to carry and therefore inexpensive to transport.
Connection Methods of Hdpe Polyethylene Pipes and Fittings
Polyethylene pipes or fittings are connected to each other by melting or using mechanical fittings. Various fittings, flanges, or transition adapters developed for the purpose can be used to connect the pipes remaining outside the polyethylene system.
The known connection methods for PE materials are;
- Electrofusion (EF)
- Butt-fusion (Butt Welding)
- Socket Welding
- Flange Connection
