Common Applications Gas Distribution Gas distribution was among the first applications of polyethylene pipe. In fact, many of the systems currently in use have been in continuous service since 1960 with great success. Today, over 95% of the pipe installed for the natural gas distribution industry in the U.S. and Canada is polyethylene. Common products our clients request are: MDPE Pipe Butt & Socket Fusion Fittings Anodes & Service Risers Meters & Regulators Detectable Tape & Tracer Wire Signs, Posts, & Markers Squeeze Tools Valve Boxes Water & Wastewater High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Solid Wall Pipe has been used in Water & Wastewater applications since the 1960's, and has been gaining approval and growth with municipalities ever since. HDPE Pipe is specified and/or approved in AWWA C901, AWWA C906, NSF 14, NSF 61 and ASTM D3035. Common uses of HDPE occur with the following: HDPE Pipe Butt & Socket Fusion Fittings Compression Fittings Electrofusion Fittings Valves & Accessories Pull Heads & Transitions MJ Adapter Applications: Potable Water Lines Sanitary Sewer Lines Storm Water Drains Pipe Bursting Applications Slip Lining Applications Force Main Applications Bypass Pumping Oil & Gas HDPE is the piping material of choice for service in oil and gas gathering, coal-bed methane, shale methane, brine supply lines, oilfield water transfer, and many other oil & gas applications. Facts about HDPE in the oil & gas industry include: Benefits of HDPE: Operating Temperatures Range From -40 F to 140 F Working Pressures up to 400 psi Available in Coils up to 6 Lightweight, Flexible, & Exceptionally Tough 100% Leak Free when Fusion Welded Excellent Flow Characteristics UV Protected Chemical & Corrosion Resistant Abrasion Resistant Meets API 15LE and ASTM D2513 Standards Power & Industrial In the Power & Industrial industry, piping must not leak, must be flexible, easy to install, be corrosion & abrasion resistant, and maintain a high flow coefficient throughout its service life of over 50 years. With polyethylene pipe, you get all of these benefits. Heat fusing polyethylene pipe produces a leak free joint that is as strong if not stronger than the pipe itself in tension and pressure applications. These joints are self restrained. They need no thrust blocks or restraint harness except where the pipe attaches to a non-polyethylene system. HDPE pipe is available for pressures up to 400 psi and constant service temperatures up to 140 F. Benefits of HDPE: Operating Temperatures Range From -40 F to 140 F Working Pressures up to 400 psi Lightweight, Flexible, & Exceptionally Tough 100% Leak Free when Fusion Welded Excellent Flow Characteristics Chemical, Corrosion, & Abrasion Resistant Self Restrained No Thrust Blocks or Restraint Harness Needed Common Applications: Factory Mutual Piping (Fire Loops and Mains) Organic & Inorganic Chemicals Hazardous Waste Dual Containment Piping Systems Cooling Water Acid & Caustic Lines Acid bath San Antonio (210) 695-4440 Beaumont (409) 838-5200 Safety/OQ Pumps (817) 500-0025
Common Applications Mining & Dredging Geothermal Conduit HDPE is a proven product in rugged terrains, extreme climates, and changing site environments. When it comes to selecting pipe materials for mining applications, the two most important factors are durability and reliability. The pipe must be rustproof, break-resistant, and corrosion-free. It must safeguard the environment, protect the taxpayer, and have a track record that professional engineers and installers respect. That is why, for over 30 years, polyethylene pipe's unique characteristics have made it the product of choice for numerous applications in the mining industry, including: Common Applications: Solution Mining Mine & Pit Dewatering Process Water & Slurry Water & Tailings Transportation Dust Suppression Depressurization HDPE pipe is the geothermal industry s standard piping material. Advantages to using HDPE pipe include the following characteristics: toughness, durability, and corrosion resistance. Another advantage of HDPE pipe is that it requires no mechanical or glued fittings that could corrode or fail. All joints are permanently heat fused, providing a 100% leak free solution. Common products offered include: Geo Loops Straights Saddles Fabricated Tees & Headers Bentonite Grout Butt Fusion Fittings Landfill HDPE piping components have the chemical and thermal resistance, durability, and compressive strength to handle the demands of sub-surface leachate collection, capture, and redistribution of methane gas, surface, and perimeter drainage for landfills and other waste disposal activities. Common products include: Dual Containment Pipe Perforated Pipe Slotted Pipe Custom Fabrications HDPE provides a wide range of solutions to the Power Utilities and Telecommunications industries. HDPE conduit saves installation time and is used in such methods as Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) and other trenchless installation procedures. HDPE Conduit Colored & Striped Pipe Options Handholes & Valve Boxes Coils up to 2500 in Length Irrigation HDPE pipe is a primary alternative to PVC pipe when used for irrigation. Used since the 1940 s, HDPE has demonstrated its effectiveness through its durability, leak-free performance, corrosion resistance, and flexibility. Its greater resilience and flexibility make it less susceptible than PVC to surges, damage from digging, and shifting soils.
