Polyethylene pipe
Polyethylene pipe is a thermoplastic product supplied in different material grades, constructions, and dimensional systems. Its flexibility and availability in long lengths can change handling and installation compared with rigid pipe, while heat fusion is one common way to create a continuous line; not every PE product, however, is intended for the same duty or joining method. The current identity does not define grade, SDR, or application approval. Selection should establish the material and product class, pressure and temperature conditions, medium, joining procedure, buried or above-ground installation, loading, and project requirements.
Application and duty
Transfer or utility systems specified for polyethylene pipe; product grade, joining method, installation conditions, and pressure-temperature limits must be verified.
