Polyethylene Fitting
Polyethylene pipelines require various PE fittings according to type of application. Polyethylene Fitting PE pipes are used in sewage , water supply , fire systems , cable & gas covering, which each pipe fitting is suitably designed as per application demands. Electro fusion fittings are applied for gas supplies , but screw fittings are used in water supplies up to 10 atm pressure & for other projects polyethylene welded fittings are applied according to German DIN16963 . It should be noted that the domestic sewage systems do not follow the regulations above. See articles connection methods, for more information.
PE fittings characteristics:
— High resistance to fracture and cracks caused by external pressures
— Impact resistant
— Corrosion and abrasion resistant
— Rust resistant
— High resistance to vibrations caused by earthquake
— Chemical resistant
— Significantly low scum sedimentation due to smoothness of inner and outer walls
— Very low pressure drop due to low friction of internal wall surface
— High flexibility, low cost installation & no special tools required for installing or running the pipeline
