The municipal pipe market in the world is steadily developing with plastic pipes, including PE pipes, PP-R pipes, and UPVC pipes. Among them, the development of PE pipes is the most remarkable.
So what are the uses of PE pipes?
1) Urban water supply
Due to comprehensive disadvantages such as safety, hygiene, and ease of construction, PE pipes have become the best choice for urban water supply pipelines.
2) Natural gas and gas transportation
Due to its strong connectivity, good volatility, convenient construction, and good corrosiveness, PE pipe has become an ideal pipe material for medium and high pressure natural gas transportation.
3) Food and chemical pipe materials
Due to the excellent and universal anti-corrosion function of PE pipes, they can be used for transporting or discharging various acids and salts, extending the service life of pipes, reducing costs, and having low maintenance costs.
4) Transportation of mineral sand and mud
PE pipes not only have corrosion resistance, but also have ordinary wear resistance, which is four times that of steel pipes. It can be widely used in fields such as ore transportation, power plant fly ash, and river dredging mud.
5) Replace cement pipes, cast iron pipes, and steel pipes
Replacing the existing cement pipes, cast iron pipes, etc. in the city can stop large-scale excavation and indirectly pull out the old pipes with smaller diameter PE pipes to stop replacement. Low engineering cost, short construction time, and cost reduction make it particularly suitable for pipeline restructuring and renovation in urban areas.
6) Garden irrigation pipeline
Every garden has many green belts. Due to the cost-effectiveness of PE pipes, most of the irrigation pipes in these green belts are PE pipes.
7) PE pipe municipal non excavation engineering
Due to the development of science and technology and the influence of factors such as living environment, non excavation technology has been widely used in various construction sites and stages of urban construction. PE pipes have good toughness and high price, making them rare plastic pipes in non excavation construction.
8) Sewage treatment pipeline
With the rapid development of the economy, more and more wastewater is being discharged from major industrial factories. In plastic pipes, PE pipes have a higher flow rate and are significantly better than other plastic pipes at pipe joints and corners. In today’s society, many sewage treatment plants use PE pipes to treat sewage.
9) Power company transmission lines
Electricity is an indispensable part of our lives, but it also carries certain risks. Therefore, when choosing transmission lines, safety issues must be considered. Due to its excellent insulation and compressive strength, PE pipes are widely used in the construction of transmission lines.
