General Properties of HDPE Polyethylene Pipes
The diameter of HDPE pipes, which are high-density polyethylene pipes, is between 20mm and 800mm, and their pressure classes are between pn 4 (4 bar) and pn 32 (32 bar).
Hdpe is an acronym and stands for the initials of High Density Poly Ethylenin, which means 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 passed many tests especially on drinking water transportation since 1950. As a result of these tests, HDPE pipes were put into use after it was determined that they did not harm human health. Today, HDPE pipe systems, which are one of the most widely used pipes, stand out with their economical, easy transportation, performance efficiency, easy joining method, and usability.
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 fluid carrying capacity, especially at high pressure classes.
The prices of Hdpe polyethylene pipes are also quite cheap and the minimum 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 until today and have become one of the most preferred pipes today. HDPE Pipes; protects the general characteristics of the fluids passing through it. Since it does not hold algae on its inner surfaces, it can be easily used in drinking water systems. Due to its chemical properties, it has high resistance against chemicals. It is very easy to bend thanks to its flexibility in sloping areas and taking shape according to the slope. Due to its high elasticity properties, it is very convenient to use in regions where seismic movements are frequent. It can orient itself according to the direction of the movement in ground movements and does not break. The welding and joining 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 Fittings Joining 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, the connection can be provided with various fittings, flanges or transition adapters developed according to the purpose.
Known joining methods for PE materials;
- Electrofusion (EF)
- Butt-fusion (Butt Welding)
- Socket Welding
- Flange Connection
