Properties
Compressed-air system for loads of up to 16 bar which is available in outer diameters from 16 mm to 110 mm. Made of PE 100 it is ideal for compressed-air applications.
The material advantages that PE 100 is known for, such as toughness, flexibility and elongation at break, are ideal for the compressed-air pipelines and ensure optimal flow conditions. Compressing air also always creates condensation, which causes corrosion or patina inside metal pipes. PE 100 remains completely maintenance and corrosion-free, and even the machine oil from the compressor or many other chemicals cannot damage the material. PEHD PE100 pipes are insensitive to vibrations as well to stress cracks, and impacts.
Thanks to their flexibility, low weight and very good welding properties, installation is easy and safe.
As is usual in the case of PE lines, they can be installed both above ground and underground because PE100 is UV stabilized.
Our pipes are supplied as rods so linearity for a clean installation is assured when it comes to the installation of pipelines in visible areas.
Efficiency, and Operational reliability are important when it comes to compressed-air and PE100 pipes have completely smooth interior surfaces that prevent deposits effectively and this translates to 26% less pressure loss compared to other materials.
Methods of jointing:
- iJoint fittings.
- Socket welding fittings
- Butt welding fittings
- Electrofusion fittings
Thanks to the robustness and flexibility of the plastics, the pipes‘ smooth interior walls and the complete lack of corrosion, a system typically remains sealed and deposit-free for decades once jointed.
