Why does UHMWPE pipe not scale?

The use of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipe will also produce scaling, but less, because the inner wall of the pipe is smooth, with good non-adhesion and self-lubrication, so scaling substances are difficult to adhere to its surface, then the next Jiangxi Dongtai new material for you to introduce the relevant content in detail.


First, why does the use of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipe not scale


1, strictly speaking, scaling is also some, not too much less, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipe even if the long-term slow accumulation of scale layer, is not firm, easy to remove. Slight scaling, hammering off, scaling cost is only 1/6 of the steel pipe.


2, scaling material is also difficult to adhere to its surface, the inner wall of the pipe is smooth, the roughness is 1/6 of the steel pipe, and has good non-adhesion and self-lubrication, so the flow resistance is very small, the medium flow rate of more than 2.3 meters/second does not scale, can effectively reduce the cost of scaling.


3, the chemical and physical polarity of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipe is lower than that of ordinary plastics, such as polyethylene polarity 9, which is of course lower than metal materials, so ordinary adhesives do not work on ultra-high.


4. The circulation of the same caliber is 15% higher than that of steel pipe. As long as the slurry flow rate reaches 2.3~4.6 m/s, scaling is difficult to form.


This is related to some of its advantages, but also related to its material, with the advantage of no scaling, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipe will be easier to clean, and the construction process will be very smooth, not easy to clog.


Second, the use of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipe


1, solid particles, powder transportation


Wear resistance, impact resistance, self-lubrication, anti-adhesion, health and non-toxic, impact absorption, good noise reduction effect, good environmental stress cracking resistance, lightweight and other advantages, can be used in various industries, such as food processing oil raw materials processing, brewing raw materials, medicine, building materials chemical industry, stone mineral powder, raw salt and other industries of solid particles, powder wear-resistant transportation.


2. Slurry transportation


Wear resistance, impact resistance, self-lubrication, no scaling, good environmental stress cracking resistance, high internal pressure strength, light and other advantages, replacing steel pipe and expensive alloy steel pipe, stainless steel pipe, used in various industries of slurry solid liquid mixture transportation, to solve the pipeline wear, corrosion and scaling problems in the transportation process. Such as coal, mining pulp transportation, coal water slurry transportation, thermal power plant fly ash transportation, river and lake dredging, municipal drainage sludge, salt-making chemical slurry transportation.


3. Liquid transportation


With the advantages of corrosion resistance, impact resistance, low temperature resistance, self-lubrication, good environmental stress cracking resistance, high compressive strength, lightweight, etc., it can be used for fluid transportation in various industries, such as: Transportation of various corrosive media in the chemical industry, transportation of crude oil and refined oil in the petroleum industry, shipping in coastal areas (containing a large amount of halogenated air and seawater seriously corrodes steel pipes), port pipelines, seawater utilization, municipal water supply and drainage, etc.


4. Gas transportation


It has excellent impact resistance, corrosion resistance, environmental stress cracking resistance, rapid cracking resistance, good flexibility, excellent low temperature resistance, resistance to freezing damage, for mechanical vibration, foundation settlement or earthquake, it can also withstand a certain degree of impact and deformation without fracture, so the pipeline has a high long-term operation safety. It can play an important role in the transmission of gas, natural gas, liquefied gas or other gases.
