The PE 4710 and PE 100 Polyethylene Pipes are manufactured with resins certified by the Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI), are BIMODALES of third-generation exceedingly considerably the properties of pressure, tension, and duration of the above resins (3408).
This type of pipeline developed and produced by the extrusion process offers advantages on top of traditional materials pipes:
Advantages of using HDPE pipe for gas conduction.
- Excellent chemical resistance even in natural gas, it does not require electrodes or special preparations.
- Due to its flexibility, it supports high magnitude earthquakes.
- Union by thermo-fusion or electro-fusion guarantees the safest union that can exist in any other type of pipe.
- It adapts very easily to any ditch, needing fewer connections and lowering the cost of installation.
- For the safety factor used in natural gas standards, the lifetime of pipes would be more than 100 years.
- The great insulating capacity of Polyethylene pipes makes them highly resistant to freezing: in case of freezing of gas inside the pipe, the increase in volume will not cause the pipe to rupture thanks to the flexibility of the pipe.
- Pipes are manufactured with modern European equipment that protects the main properties of resin and prolongs the useful life.
- Due to the advantages it presents, the Polyethylene pipe is THE RECOMMENDED and most used in NATURAL GAS conduction worldwide.
Certification of the HDPE pipe for gas conduction.
The product is certified by the Center for Standardization and Certification of products AC, in compliance with the Mexican standard NMX-E-043-SCFI-2002 – Gas Industry – Polyethylene (PE) pipes for the conduction of Natural Gas (NG) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) – Specifications and test methods
