6 superior properties of UHMWPE pipe--Houde Rubber & Plastic

1.Extremely High Wear Resistance The most striking characteristic of UHMWPE is its exremely high wear resistnace, which is very precious in many engineering applications. The wear resistance is the best among all the palstics, even much better than many metal materials(for example, carbon steel, stainless steel, brass, etc). Its wear resistance is 4-7 times of steel, 10 times of PP and 2.3 times PE. It is more effective in delivering small particle slurry such as coal ash. 2.Excellent Abrasion Resistance UHMWPE pipes have excellent abrasion resistance providing long life in abrasive slurry applications. 3.Chemical Resistance outstanding resistance to a wide range of chemical reagents allows the use of UHMWPE systems in tailings pipelines and chemical treatment applications used in mining operations. 4.Good Flexibility UHMWPE pipes can be bent to a minimum of 30 times the pipe`s outside diameter for HDPE. This flexibility and resiliency allows the pipe to absorb surge pressures, vibration and stresses caused by soil movement. This makes the pipes particularly useful in submarine pipe lines, mine subsidence and earthquake prone areas. 5.High flow capacity low friction compared with materials such as fibre reinforced cement and resistance to material deposit buildup give UHMWPE pipes long lived high flow capacity. Lower pumping cost due to greater hydraulic capacity as compared with steel and HDPE pipes. 6.Ease of installation UHMWPE pipe is easy to install with light weights and flanged couplings.
