GENERAL
CHARACTERISTICS OF POLYETHYLENE |
|
|
::: Lightness and Easy Installation
Easy transportation and installation features of polyethylene pipes make it much more advantageous among all other alternative solutions.
::: Flexibility
The flexibility and resistance to sismic movements of the material is the most important factor especially
for infrastructural projects in earthquake-risky zones.
In the great earthquake in 1999, the whole infrastructure system has been destroyed except the "Natural Gas Piping Network". The reason for that was the polyethylene pipes were used for the piping. As a result, The Bank of Provinces of Turkey has chosen PE100 pipes for the reconstruction of the drinking water distribution Systems in the region.
::: High Welding Performance
PE pipes that are welded to each other by electrofusion or butt welding techniques works perfectly like straight pipes. The performance of the pipes' connection points were tested and proved to be exactly zero defect.
::: Durability
::: Toughness & Strength
::: No failures under pressure at the connection points
Perfect welding performance avoids any leakage, any break apart or any splits at the connection points.
::: Crack resistance
::: Uncorrodable
::: Resistance to chemicals
The table in "Projects and Technical Info" section shows the resistance of polyethylene against different chemicals.
::: Low Friction |
