In recent years, with the development of the polyethylene industry, polyethylene pipes and fittings have become a viable alternative to metal pipes, PVC, GRP, and have been able to replace polyethylene pipes in many cases as such. .
PE100 is the third generation of heavy or high density polyethylene materials
Compared with the third generation PE (PE100) with the second generation (PE80) and the first generation PE63, it is important to note, according to ISO definitions, that the minimum strength is expected at 5 ° C after 5 years of pipe installation. This minimum expected strength for PE100 is 2 MPa and for PE80 material is 2 MPa, and for PE63 is 1.5 MPa.
In general, the advantages of using PE100 in comparison with the previous species can be summarized as follows.
Higher strength and subsequently reduced thickness and cost with the same nominal pressure
Better flexibility for coiling, pipe maintenance and installation
Higher resistance to slow crack growth and higher crop safety factor
Higher resistance to rapid test crack growth
High hydrostatic resistance of PE100 compared to PE 80 and PE63
Due to the advantages of polyethylene pipes such as corrosion resistance and chemical resistance, flexibility and consequently lower joints, earthquake and impact resistance, high hydraulic efficiency and ease of implementation of PE pipes are used in many projects. has taken.
Nowadays polyethylene pipes are used in most projects such as fire and fire extinguishing systems, high pressure water transfer projects, municipal and industrial sewage transmission systems, oil and natural gas distribution networks in industrial and chemical environments, or cable and cable coverage projects.
