PE (polyethylene) material is widely used in the field of water supply pipe manufacturing due to its high strength, corrosion resistance, non-toxic and other characteristics. So PE water supply pipe is quickly utilized, the use of pipeline will certainly be connected, because the pipe are a cut one by one, to be long can only be connected, PE water supply pipe how to connect it? Here are some PE water supply pipe connection methods for your reference.
PE water supply pipe how to connect?
Polyethylene pipe and pipe, pipe and PE pipe, pipe and fittings, as well as polyethylene pipe and metal pipe are connected in many ways, different connections have their own advantages and limitations, the user can choose the appropriate connection according to the diameter of the pipe, the working pressure, the use of places and other environments. Urban water supply polyethylene pipe commonly used connection methods are: hot melt connection, electrofusion connection, socket flexible connection, flange connection, steel-plastic transition joint connection.
PE water supply pipe connection method of hot melt connection
How to connect PE water supply pipe? Common is to use heat to carry out. Hot melt connection is a special heating tool, under pressure heating polyethylene pipes or fittings to be connected to the part, so that it is molten, remove the heating tool, pressure will be two molten surface together, under stable pressure for a period of time, until the joints cool. Hot melt connection including hot melt butt connection, hot melt socket connection, hot melt saddle connection.
PE water pipe connection method of electrofusion connection
Secondly, how to connect PE water supply pipe most of the use of the principle of heat to carry out, electrofusion connection method is simply this reason, electrofusion connection is a special electrofusion fittings and PE pipe or fittings with buried resistance wire connection parts close contact with the electricity, PE pipe through the buried resistance wire heating the connection parts, so that it fused together until the joints cooled. Electrofusion connection can be used with different types and different melt flow rate of polyethylene pipe or socket fittings connection. Electrofusion connections are divided into electrofusion socket connections and electrofusion saddle connections.
