HDPE pipe is ideal for many different applications including municipal, industrial, energy, geothermal, landfill and more. HDPE pipe is strong, durable, flexible and light weight. When fused together, HDPE has a zero leak rate because the fusion process creates a monolithic HDPE system. HDPE pipe is also a more environmentally sustainable option as it is non-toxic, corrosion and chemical resistant, has a long design life, and is ideal for trenchless installation methods because of its flexibility.
HDPE Industrial Applications and Advantages:
- FM Approved piping
- Underground piping meets or exceeds operating temperatures and pressures
- HDPE pipe is an excellent insulator, with minimal heat transfer. Copper transfers heat 2700 times more than HDPE.
- HDPE does not become brittle at 32 deg. F
- HDPE does not leak, it is seamlessly fused
- HDPE does not corrode
- Instrument Air
- Fire Water
- Steam Condensate and Blow Down
- Raw Water
- Process Water
- Withstands freezing water better than traditional metal piping
- Systems maintain high fluid flow properties throughout their service life due to excellent chemical and abrasion resistance
- Pipe is available in coils through 6″ for multiple applications
- Weather resistant:
- Carbon black is added to HDPE to provide UV protection
- Frozen water will not crack or break HDPE pipe
- Durable:
- Withstands fatigue and surges
- Safer due to operating pressure capabilities
- Butt fused joints eliminate need for thrust blocks
- Delivers long term economy, value, and dependability
