 2 inch polyethylene pipe

Material characteristics and advantages

Chemical stability

Resistant to acid and alkali corrosion (pH value 2-12), suitable for chemical wastewater transportation.

Low temperature toughness

No brittle cracking at -40, the first choice for frozen areas in the north.

Hydraulic performance

Smooth inner wall (roughness coefficient 0.009), 12% higher flow rate than metal pipes.

Sanitary level

Passed GB/T 17219 drinking water certification, no plasticizer precipitation.

Key technical points of installation

Comparison of connection methods

Hot-melt connection: suitable for pipe diameter 63mm, requiring a special Hdpe Pipe Welding Machine (temperature control 210±10)

Electric fusion connection: pipe fittings with integrated resistance wire, high precision but 30% higher cost

Flange connection: used when transitioning with metal equipment interface

Groove construction specifications

Deep burial requirements: +30cm below the frozen soil layer (1.2m in the north)

Foundation treatment: sand cushion thickness 15cm, compaction 90%

Backfill standard: layered backfill (20cm per layer), sharp stones are prohibited

Special environment response

Seismic zone: set up an anti-seismic elbow every 6 meters

Highly corrosive soil: external anti-corrosion tape + cathodic protection

 HDPE pipe

Common problem solutions

Winter construction problems

Insulation sheds need to be built in environments below -5, and the preheating time is extended by 50%.

Leak detection

It is recommended to use the air pressure test method:

1.5 times the working pressure for 24 hours, and the pressure drop 1% is qualified.

UV protection

Black UV-resistant pipes (containing 2.5% carbon black masterbatch) should be selected for outdoor installation.

 

Standards and testing

International/domestic standards

ISO 4427 (water supply), GB/T 13663 (PE pipe), GB 15558 (gas pipe) 89.

Key indicators

Environmental stress cracking resistance (4320 hours), oxidation induction time (20 minutes)

 

2 inch polyethylene pipe is gradually replacing traditional metal pipes with its excellent comprehensive performance. Correct selection and standardized construction can ensure the realization of a 50-year design life. It is recommended that engineering units give priority to products produced with PE100 grade raw materials to obtain the best cost-effectiveness.
