When it comes to PE pipes, many people may be unfamiliar with them. PE pipes are a newly researched and manufactured type of pipe. Their characteristics include high toughness, strong corrosion resistance, light weight, and good impact resistance.
When it comes to PE pipes, many people may be unfamiliar with them. PE pipes are a newly researched and manufactured type of pipe. Their characteristics include high toughness, strong corrosion resistance, light weight, and good impact resistance. Due to their high practicality and relatively low construction costs, they have developed rapidly in modern engineering applications. Although construction techniques are constantly improving, and construction units are continuously upgrading, the relatively short service life of current PE pipes means that errors in material selection and insufficient understanding of materials during construction can lead to quality problems. Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly understand and investigate the materials before construction. For the construction of PE water pipes, basic knowledge of PE water pipe construction is fundamental. This includes transportation, inspection, and connection—all crucial steps. It's also important to know where PE water pipes are suitable. They are primarily used in the following applications:
1. Urban water supply: PE pipes offer comprehensive advantages, including hygiene and ease of construction, making them an ideal pipe material for urban water supply.
2. Natural gas and gas transmission: Due to the reliable connection, stable performance, ease of construction, and corrosion resistance of PE pipes, they are an excellent choice for low- and medium-pressure natural gas transmission pipelines.
3. Replacing cement, cast iron, and steel pipes: For the renovation of existing urban cement, cast iron, and other pipes, PE pipes can be inserted directly into the old pipes without extensive excavation, resulting in lower project costs and shorter construction times. This is particularly suitable for pipeline renovation in old urban areas.
4. Municipal non-excavation projects: With the development of cities, non-excavation technology is widely used in various construction projects. In non-excavation projects, the commonly used pipe jacking (pulling pipes, traction pipes) methods currently often use PE pipes, due to their toughness and Price advantages, and they will see greater development in non-excavation fields.
5. Wastewater treatment: Many wastewater treatment plants currently use PE pipes in addition to cement pipes and HDPE corrugated pipes. In practical construction, PE pipes have higher flow rates than other pipe materials for the same diameter, and their convenience is even more prominent in complex environments such as turning and crossing roads.
6. Power cable laying: Due to the superior resistance and insulation properties of PE pipes, along with their high compressive and tensile strength, they are frequently used in many power cable laying projects.
