One, what is a PE pipe?
PE pipe is a non-toxic and excellent material with good low-temperature performance and strong chemical stability, widely used in construction materials.
Two. What are the characteristics of PE pipes?
1、Excellent hygiene performance
PE pipe processing does not require the addition of heavy metal salt stabilizers, the material is non-toxic, free of scaling, and does not promote bacterial growth, effectively solving the problem of secondary pollution in urban drinking water.
2、Excellent corrosion resistance performance
Resistant to corrosion from various chemical agents, except for strong oxidizing agents. No electrochemical corrosion.
3、Long-lasting service life
Under specified temperature and pressure conditions, PE pipes can be safely used for more than 50 years.
4、Excellent impact resistance
PE pipes exhibit excellent toughness and high impact resistance. Heavy objects can be directly applied to the pipes without causing them to break.
5、Reliable connection performance
The strength of the heat-fused or electrically fused joints of PE pipes is higher than that of the pipe material itself, and the joints will not detach due to soil movement or live loads.
6. Excellent construction performance
Lightweight pipes, simple welding process, easy construction, and low overall project costs.
Three, the models and specifications of PE pipes
Common PE water pipe sizes include DN20mm, 32mm, 40mm, 50mm, 63mm, 75mm, 90mm, 110mm, 200mm, 315mm, 355mm, 400mm, and 630mm.
Categorized by pressure level, the specifications include 0.6Mpa, 0.8Mpa, and 1.0Mpa.
IV. How to select PE pipes
1、Inspect the appearance
The PE pipe surface is smooth and even, with no discoloration, bubbles, or depressions. The inner wall is also smooth and free of burrs.
2、Assess the bending performance
Good-quality PE pipes are less prone to breakage and exhibit flexibility when bent.
