What is pe-rt pipe?

PE-RT pipe are commonly known as heat-resistant polyethylene (pe-rt) pipes. PE-RT pipes are made of medium-density polyethylene (mdpe) and octene polymerized. High temperature and frost resistance are the characteristics of pe-rt pipes. The color of the PE-RT tube is the natural color of the raw material, that is, the transparent color, without any color masterbatch and filler.

Feature

■ Good sanitary performance: no heavy metal salt stabilizer is added during the processing of PE pipe, the material is no scale layer, no breeding bacteria, and it can solve the secondary pollution of urban drinking water.

■ Excellent corrosion resistance: Except for a few strong oxidants, it can withstand the corrosion of various chemical media; no electrochemical corrosion.

■ Long service life: Under rated temperature and pressure conditions, PE pipes can be used safely for more than 50 years.

■ Good impact resistance: PE pipe has good toughness, high impact strength, and heavy objects directly pressing through the pipeline will not cause the pipeline to break.

■ Reliable connection performance: The strength of the PE pipe's hot-melt or electric fusion interface is higher than that of the pipe body, and the joints will not be broken due to soil movement or live load.

■ Good construction performance: light weight pipeline, simple welding process, convenient construction, and low comprehensive engineering cost.

Connection of pipes:

■ Electric thermal fusion: Adopt special electric thermal welding machine to connect straight pipe and straight pipe, straight pipe and pipe fittings. Generally used for tubes below 160mm.

■ Hot-melt butt connection: It is connected by a special butt welder pipe, which is generally used for pipes above 160mm.

■ Steel-plastic connection: It can be connected by flanges, threaded fasteners, etc.

■ In order to facilitate construction and ensure construction quality, corresponding tools should also be prepared.

What is pe pipe used for?

polyethylene pipe. These benefits make it an ideal piping material for a broad variety of applications such as potable water service or distribution lines, natural gas distribution, lawn sprinklers, sewers, waste disposal, and drainage lines. PE materials are generally resistant to most ordinary chemicals.
