Pipe
Advantages & Applications
| Savings | - No other piping material matches polythylene's economy on labour and equipment. Most of the work is done out of the trench ... resulting in savings. |
| Lightweight | - 70 to 90% lighter than steel or concrete. |
| Chemically resistant | - Excellent resistance to most chemicals, acids. |
| Flow | - The extremely smooth interior and the petroleum base prevent mineral build-up or scaling. |
| Stress crack resistance | - Excellent, no failure at fittings, weights or upon burial. |
| Joining | - Butt fusion
assemblies; solid, the same strength as pipe wall. - Flange assemblies used for adapting to other piping materials, valves, etc. |
| Toughness | - Cold increases its toughness; ideal for cold climates. |
| Flexibility | - Remains flexible at cold temperatures, field bends to a radius of 35 times the pipe diameter. |
| River
crossing Bridge crossing Tunnels Pipe relining |
- Ideally suited for applications. Pipe's flexibility and fusion joints permit one long continuous pipeline adapting to riverbed, bridge deck etc. |
| Municipal | - Water distribution, gas and sewer colection, sewage treatment and power stations. |
| Industrial | - Plating works, metals, pulp and paper. |
| Mining | - Coal, copper and precious metals. |
| Water | - Potable, intakes, cooling condensate, irrigation, subsurface drainage, and deionized. |
| Slurries | - Fly ash disposal, tailings, coal, sand and minerals. |
| Chemical | - Pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, petrochemicals and basic chemicals. |
| Oil and gas | - Production, collection and watering systems. |
| Construction | - Dredging, dewatering and water supply. |
| Insulated systems | - For cold weather installations. |
| Sewage | - Collection, sludge, outfalls, force mains and sewer relining. |
