Specification :
Polyethylene pipes are produced from the raw material obtained through the polymerization of Ethylene gas. The number â100â refers 10.0 Mpa, which is the environmental tension value (Ã) of the product. This value started off as around 32 and studies on 125 continues. As this value increases it means that the endurance against pressure increases. Therefore, for the same pressure group as it increases wall-thickness decreases. Improvements on these values provide cost effectiveness against alternative products and increase the market share.
Polyethylene is a thermoplastic product and so it is recyclable. Being able to use the defective product again provides cost advantages. Considering environmental issues, these products can be used for the production of secondary type products when collected back.
Since the welding capability of Polyethylene pipes is high there are a bunch of methods for connection. These are electrofusin welding, butt welding, and extrusion welding and push socket method. Differences and reasons for preferences are explained in SSS-FAQ section.
Our product is superior to its alternatives in terms of service life since it is not affected from corrosion and chemicals, and it has a high resistance against abrasion. It promises minimum 50 years of service life.
Potable water distribution systems might get out of order because of earthquakes. When we look at the past experiences we can see that rigid pipes get out of order with earthquakes and new systems had to be installed. Whereas, Polyethylene potable water networks were able to be used after the earthquakes. At places where erosion happens, with the aid of 600 % elongation capacity it compensates the opening by elongation. It solved the problem of frequent replacement of potable water systems in earthquake regions.
It has an affect on the feasibility of projects since it provides savings from raw material with the availability of production at different pressures depending on the project.
Polyethylene pipes are mostly used in Scandinavian countries. The most important reason for this is that they keep their elasticity even at â 40°C and doesnât get influenced by ice. While steel pipes crack with ice, Polyethylene absorbs the increase in volume via expansion. Project costs have reduced a lot because of the easiness of using Polyethylene pipes in lake, river and sea transitions. A lot of projects that couldnât be realized have been managed to be completed with Polyethylene pipes. Since the plastic pipes are lighter than the water they float on it and then they are sunk with concrete blocks.
In pressure loss calculations less energy pumps than the value on smooth curve are preferred and so savings in investments and working costs are attained.
Since they are produced up to Ã140 mm, they provide savings from welding and fittings.
Since they conform to the shape of the earth, canal opening and excavation costs are minimized. They are easily installed by connecting outside the canal and then placing in.
When the line is damaged, both sides of the damage are chocked and the line is repaired. Therefore, the pipe is repaired without stopping the potable water totally.
Since it can be bend 20-35 times its radius less number of elbows is used.
They are resistant to UV radiation via the carbon black additive used in it.
