General Characteristics of HDPE Polyethylene Pipes

HDPE pipes, also known as high-density polyethylene pipes, have diameters ranging from 20mm to 800mm and pressure ratings between pn 4 (4 atm) and pn 32 (32 atm).

HDPE is an abbreviation for High-Density Polyethylene, which corresponds to the initials of High Density Poly Ethylene in English. HDPE is obtained through various processes involving petroleum products.

With HDPE pipes, you can transport drinking water. The HDPE pipe system underwent numerous tests, particularly for the conveyance of drinking water, since 1950. Following these tests, which resulted in all reports being positive and confirming that HDPE pipes pose no harm to human health, they were made available for use. HDPE pipe systems are among the most widely used pipes today due to their economic feasibility, ease of transportation, performance efficiency, ease of assembly, and practicality.

PE100 pipes are a derivative of high-density polyethylene raw materials, produced with PE100 raw material. This product stands out particularly in higher pressure classes due to its increased liquid conveying capacity.

HDPE polyethylene pipes are also very cost-effective, with a minimum lifespan of 50 years.

With a history spanning 60 years, HDPE pipes have benefited from technological advancements and have become one of the most preferred pipes today. HDPE Pipes maintain the general characteristics of the fluids flowing through them. Due to their non-adhesive inner surfaces, they can easily be used in drinking water systems. They exhibit high resistance to chemicals due to their chemical properties. Installation on sloped terrains and adapting to the slope is simple due to their flexibility. Thanks to their high elasticity, they are comfortable to use in areas with frequent seismic movements. They can orient themselves according to the direction of movement during ground movements and do not break. The welding and joining methods of HDPE pipes are straightforward. Their lightweight makes them easy to transport, thus making transportation inexpensive.

Joining Methods for HDPE Polyethylene Pipes and Fittings

Polyethylene pipes or fittings are connected by either melting them together or using mechanical fittings. Various fittings, flanges, or transition adapters developed for purposes other than polyethylene can be used for pipes other than polyethylene.

Known joining methods for PE materials include:

• Electrofusion (EF)
• Butt Fusion (Socket Fusion)
• Socket Welding
• Flanged Connection
