Characteristics of PE PIPE
Joint characteristics
PE water pipes are easy to be arranged quickly and perfectly by using various fusion method
according to field condition.
Corrosion Resistance
PE water pipes do not cause erosion or corrosion.
Flexibility
By superior flexibility and resilience, it has less constraint by land conditions, easy to construct,
relatively safe in internal or external factors, and restorable by itself.
Easy installation
A variety of fittings for PE PIPE can be easy to weld even unskilled workers by using simple
welding equipment.
Stability and Hygiene
As the PE material is widely used globally because of its proven stability and hygiene.
Especially, PE water pipe has the optimum condition for drinking water.
Light weight
PE pipe that is lighter than iron pipe is easy to carry and quickly to construction.
Chemical resistance
Polyethylene is not corrosive to additives, alkalis, salts, etc. and does not multiply seaweed
or bacteria, so it is safe from various corrosive substance.
Cold-weather resistance
Since the Polyethylene has excellent elasticity between molecules, it can maintain inherent
durability even with a temperature change of 40
Flow characteristics
The smooth inner surface of PE water pipes allows more amounts of fluid transportation than other
material’s pipes with the same diameter.
Abrasion Resistance
PE water pipe is also suitable for transfer piping in slurry and dredging pipeline in the mine
by the superior abrasion resistance of PE.
Impact Resistance
PE water pipes has superior resistance from external shocks in order to prevent water leak by
damage on a pipe from an earthquake or land subsidence.
