PE100-RC HDPE Pipes and Fittings for Water And Gas details description:

PE100-RC pipe is a new type of polyethylene (PE) pressure pipe, which is an upgraded version of "PE100" pipe, where "RC" stands for Resistance to Crack. It maintains the original strength of PE100, and significantly improves the ability to resist slow cracks, external impacts and point loads through special formulas and processes.

In layman's terms, PE100-RC is less likely to "crack" or "break" than ordinary PE pipes. Compared with traditional PE100 pipes, PE100-RC does not require additional sheaths or fine sand backfill, and can be directly laid in complex terrain under more severe conditions, greatly reducing construction costs and risks. It is the best choice for municipal, industrial, environmental protection and other industries that require both "high safety + high economy".

PE100-RC HDPE Pipes and Fittings for Water And Gas material characteristics and advantages:

Strong cracking resistance: PE100RC is an enhanced version of PE100, suitable for occasions requiring higher crack resistance, with excellent stress cracking resistance, can effectively resist cracking problems caused by environmental, construction and other factors, even in long-term use and harsh conditions, but also to maintain the integrity of the pipe structure.
Good corrosion resistance: HDPE material itself has non-polar characteristics, has good tolerance to most chemical substances such as acid, alkali and salt, and is not easy to cause chemical reaction and degradation of material properties, and can be applied to chemical industry, electroplating, sewage treatment and other corrosive environment.
Good low temperature resistance: in a low temperature environment, HDPE PE100-RC pipe can still maintain good toughness, will not be brittle due to low temperature, and can be used safely in cold areas, such as all kinds of pipeline projects in northeast China and Northwest China.
Good flexibility:the pipe has a certain degree of flexibility, can adapt to a certain degree of foundation uneven settlement and earthquake and other natural disasters, can reduce the change of the foundation caused by pipeline rupture and other problems, and improve the stability and reliability of the pipeline system.
Long service life: Based on its excellent material properties, under normal conditions of use, the service life of HDPE PE100-RC pipe can reach more than 50 years, reducing the frequency of pipeline replacement and maintenance, and reducing the cost of the entire life cycle.
High construction efficiency: the pipe is light in weight, easy to handle and install, and can greatly reduce the construction labor intensity. At the same time, the hot melt butt and electric melt connection and other methods are simple to operate, fast connection speed, and can effectively shorten the construction period, especially for the construction project.
Excellent hydraulic performance: the inner wall of the HDPE PE100-RC pipe is smooth, the surface roughness is small, and the water flow resistance is small, which can improve the water transportation capacity and efficiency, and reduce the water energy consumption. Under the same flow rate, smaller pipe diameter can be selected to save project investment; Or under the same pipe diameter, a larger flow of medium can be transported.
Environmental protection and energy saving: HDPE is a recyclable material, and HDPE PE100-RC tube can be recycled and reprocessed after waste, reducing the pollution of waste to the environment. And its production process compared with some metal pipes, lower energy consumption, in line with the requirements of environmental protection and energy saving.

HDPE PE100-RC pipe construction method:

Hot melt connection: The hot melt machine is used to heat the connection part of the pipe and pipe fittings to a molten state, and then the two are quickly bonded, cooled and solidified under a certain pressure to form a solid connection. Suitable for the same material, nominal outer diameter ≥63mm pipe and pipe, pipe and pipe fittings connection.
Electric fusion connection: the electric fusion pipe is set on the pipe, and the resistance wire in the electric fusion pipe is electrified through the electric fusion welding machine, so that the resistance wire heats up and the contact surface of the pipe and the pipe is melted, and the body is formed after cooling. Suitable for various specifications of HDPE PE100-RC pipe connection, especially suitable for nominal outer diameter < 63mm pipe or cannot use hot melt connection occasions.
Socket connection: First heat one end of the HDPE pipe to soften it, and then insert the other end into the softening end, and then heat and apply pressure to make the two closely combined. This connection method is suitable for small-caliber HDPE pipes, convenient installation, fast connection speed, but the connection strength is slightly lower than that of hot melt butt and electric melt connection.
Flange connection: The HDPE pipe and flange are connected together by hot melt or electric melt, and then the two flanges are connected by bolts, and the sealing gasket is installed in the middle to realize the connection and sealing of the pipeline. The flange connection is suitable for the connection of HDPE pipes with valves, flowmeters and other equipment, as well as the parts that need to be disassembled frequently, which is easy to maintain and overhaul.
PE quick joint connection: This joint has an internal cavity into which the PE pipe can be inserted, sealed and fixed by sealing rings or elastic clasp and other components, suitable for small and medium diameter PE pipe connection.
