Why should polyethylene pipes be chosen when choosing Polymir technical pipes?
As you know, technical pipes that are laid on the ground or underground, in addition to sewerage, can also be used to protect wires, electrical cables and other communication systems from various kinds of damage and environmental influences. And to provide reliable protection, of course, a sufficiently strong material is needed that will stand the test of time, but at the same time be quite light and easy to transport and install. And of course, specialists have tested quite different pipes made of various materials. According to the results of research and testing, low-pressure polyethylene turned out to be the leader in terms of manufacturing material.
What are the advantages of low density polyethylene in the manufacture of technical pipes?
- So, the polyethylene used in the production of technical pipes is highly resistant to natural influences, since the structure of the material is rigid and, therefore, durable. However, with regard to the weight of the polyethylene pipe, it is quite light, which significantly reduces the physical effort for the installation and transportation of technical pipes.
- HDPE technical pipes have a service life of 50 years or more, which is 3 or more times longer than, for example, steel pipes. HDPE pipes do not corrode, are resistant to chemical attack.
- When laying insulated cables in technical pipes, you do not need to worry about condensation, as they have a low degree of thermal conductivity and do not require cathodic protection.
- If HDPE technical pipes are used for sewerage, then there is no need to worry about the freezing of the liquid in the pipe at sub-zero temperatures and, therefore, there can be no question of the destruction of the polyethylene pipe during freezing. HDPE technical pipes are resistant to temperature extremes from -50 to +70 С°.
- In addition to the technical advantages of HDPE pipes, there is one important advantage – this is a low budget. Since recycled materials are involved in the production of HDPE technical pipes, the cost is also low compared to other materials for pipes. Also, such pipe production – recycling of secondary raw materials – allows you to keep the ecological environment clean. HDPE technical pipes from the manufacturer Polymir are produced in accordance with the established state standards. All pipes are tested, both from the outside and inside, there should be no peeling of polyethylene, cracks, formation of bubbles and chips – only a smooth surface.
Peculiarities of installation of polyethylene technical pipes
The installation of technical pipes does not require specific specific knowledge, however, the following requirements and conditions must be observed:
- When installing pipes, it is necessary to observe the complete sealing of the joints (joints), excluding the ingress of condensate, any foreign liquids and contaminants into the inside. To ensure the outflow of condensate, which may form on the outer surface during the installation of technical pipes, experts recommend laying pipes with a slope directed to specially installed pull boxes for collecting moisture
- When laying underground pipes at a depth of more than two meters, it is recommended to concret the channel, the layer thickness is about 80 mm. Concreting will provide additional protection for technical pipes
- Pipe installation is acceptable both in warm weather and in cold weather up to -30 degrees.
