PE stands for polyethylene (Polyethylene of raised temperature resistance), and the application range of PE water supply pipes is generally below 40℃, making it unsuitable for hot water delivery pipes. PE pipes are a type of crystalline, non-polar thermoplastic resin. The natural HDPE water supply pipe appears milky white on the surface and somewhat translucent at thin cross-sections. PE water supply pipes have excellent resistance to most chemical substances used in daily life and industry. Certain types of chemicals can cause chemical corrosion, such as corrosive oxidizers (concentrated nitric acid), aromatic hydrocarbons, and halogenated hydrocarbons.
Characteristics of PE water supply pipes:
1. PE water supply pipes have a long service life: under normal conditions, the lifespan can reach up to 50 years.
2. PE water supply pipes have good sanitary properties: PE pipes are non-toxic, do not contain heavy metal additives, do not scale, and do not breed bacteria, effectively solving the problem of secondary contamination of drinking water. They comply with the safety evaluation standards specified in GB/T17219 and the relevant health safety evaluation regulations of the Ministry of Health.
3. PE water supply pipes can resist corrosion from various chemical media: they are free from electrochemical corrosion.
4. The inner wall of PE water supply pipes is smooth, with an extremely low friction coefficient, which enhances the medium's flow capacity and provides excellent wear resistance.
5. PE water supply pipes have good flexibility, high impact strength, and can withstand strong shocks and distortions.
6. PE water supply pipes are lightweight, making transportation and installation convenient.
7. PE water supply pipes feature unique electro-fusion connections and heat fusion socket connections, ensuring high interface strength with the pipe body, which guarantees the safety of the joints.
8. The welding process for PE water supply pipes is simple, construction is convenient, and the overall project cost is low.
9. PE environmentally friendly and healthy water supply pipes of dn20~dn90 are blue, while those of dn110 and above are blue or black with blue stripes. Other colors can be customized, and the color of the fittings corresponds to the color of the pipes.
10. Low water flow resistance: HDPE water supply pipes have a smooth inner surface with a Manning coefficient of 0.009. The smoothness and non-adhesive properties ensure that HDPE pipes have a higher transport capacity compared to traditional pipe materials, while also reducing pressure loss in the pipeline and water transport energy consumption.
National Inspection Standard Test Report:
There are many successful cases of Runshuo PE water supply pipes; for example: Changzhou Huangli Paper Mill (PE water supply pipe), Suqian Chemical Park Sewage Treatment Plant (PE water supply/drainage), China Rainbow Textile Group Phase 1-4 project water supply system (PE water supply pipe, coated steel pipe), Nanjing Zhongsan Road renovation (PE water supply pipe), etc.
