Understanding Polymer Polyethylene Pipes
1. High wear resistance
Greatly improved the service life of pipelines. And it can improve the conveying efficiency by about 20% compared to steel pipes.
2. Corrosion resistance
There is no need to apply anti-corrosion coating during construction.
3. Aging resistance
Due to its stable nature, it has strong weather resistance and good aging resistance. It can be buried on the ground or underground and will not age for 50 years.
4. Anti adhesion
Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene has self-lubricating and non adhesive properties, low friction coefficient, and therefore low flow resistance. Its inner diameter design can be reduced by about 15% compared to steel pipes.
5. High impact resistance
The impact resistance and absorption of impact energy of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene rank first among plastics. Whether it is subjected to strong external forces or internal pressure fluctuations, it is difficult to crack. Its impact strength is 10 times that of nylon 66, 20 times that of polyvinyl chloride, and 4 times that of polyethylene. Especially in low-temperature environments, its impact strength reaches its highest value, and its flexibility provides an extremely safe and reliable guarantee for the conveying system. Due to its high impact energy absorption value, it is particularly suitable for conveying sheet and granular materials, reducing crushing and conveying noise.
6. Hygienic and non-toxic
Stainless steel pipes can be used as a substitute for conveying materials in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
7. Chemical stability
It can transport various corrosive media and organic matter.
8. High internal pressure resistance
It can transport various materials under high pressure.
9. Lightweight
Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene pipes are one eighth the weight of carbon steel and stainless steel, which brings great convenience to loading, unloading, transportation, installation, and use.
10. Economy
The installation of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipes is convenient, using flange or electric heating fusion welding connection technology, which is safe, reliable, fast, and simple, without the need for anti-corrosion measures. The installation is labor-saving, and the installation cost is greatly reduced. In addition, the comprehensive performance comparison shows that the economic benefits are more than 6 times that of steel pipes.
