PE 100 Pipe Technical Specifications
PE pipes are produced as PE 40 (LDPE – Low-Density Polyethylene), PE 80 and PE 100 (HDPE – High-Density Polyethylene), in black color with blue stripes.
They are manufactured in coil form from 16 mm up to 110 mm diameter, while diameters 125 mm – 160 mm are produced in 6 m, 11.8 m, and 13.5 m standard lengths.
Advantages of PE100 Pipes
High Durability: PE100 pipes are resistant to high pressure and have higher pressure classes compared to conventional PE pipes.
Long Service Life: Their lifespan is approximately 50 years, making them ideal for long-term projects.
Corrosion Resistance: They do not corrode or rust.
Flexibility: High elasticity allows jointing outside of trenches.
Chemical Resistance: Resistant to chemicals; safe for potable water networks.
Low Friction Coefficient: Smooth internal surfaces minimize friction loss, allowing efficient flow.
Easy Installation: Lightweight and flexible, making them easy to transport and install.
Application Areas
Potable and utility water networks: Used in both underground and above-ground water lines.
Agricultural irrigation systems: Preferred for durability and flexibility.
Marine discharge systems: Resistant to seawater and marine movements.
Wastewater and solid waste discharge systems: Suitable due to chemical resistance.
Firefighting and cooling systems: High pressure resistance makes them ideal.
Submarine crossing pipelines: Flexible and durable for underwater use.
Telecommunication cable protection: Used to protect underground cabling.
