HDPE pipe fittings advantages and disadvantages

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe fittings systems have been used for municipal and industrial water applications for over 50 years. Within PPI’s Building & Construction Division, HDPE Pipe Fittings are used for ground source geothermal applications, also known as earth energy or geo-exchange systems.

The company is the world’s best hdpe vs pvc pipe supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.

Advantages of HDPE Pipe include good low-temperature impact resistance and excellent chemical resistance:

  • Safety of potable water and long-term reliability
  • Resistance to corrosion, tuberculation, deposits
  • Flexibility to speed installations
  • Freeze-break resistance
  • Lightweight, easy to transport
  • Low scrap value, avoiding Jobsite theft
  • Durability and toughness to survive Jobsite installations
  • No flame used for joining, with many fitting and joining options
  • Recyclable, eco-friendly material
  • Heat fusible for virtually leak-free performance

HDPE Pipe of Disadvantages like this:

  • High thermal expansion

  • Poor weathering resistance

  • Subject to stress cracking

  • Difficult to bond

  • Flammable

  • Poor temperature capability

  • Low strength/stiffness

HDPE (High Density Polyethylene)

HDPE (High Density Polyethylene)

After its experimental preparation in the 1930s, the application in high frequency radar cables during World War II, gave impetus to its commercial production. This thermoplastic is available in a range of flexibilities depending on the production process. High density materials are the most rigid. The polymer can be formed by a wide variety of thermoplastic processing methods and is particularly useful where moisture resistance and low cost are required. Polyethylene is limited by a rather low temperature capability (200-250 F) but is manufactured in billions of pounds per year.
Vinyl acetate can be copolymerized with ethylene. The resulting product has improved transparency over homopolymerized polyethylene because of a reduction of crystallinity in the copolymer.

ADVANTAGES:

  • Low cost
  • Impact resistant from -40 C to 90 C
  • Moisture resistance
  • Good chemical resistance
  • Food grades available
  • Readily processed by all thermoplastic methods

DISADVANTAGES AND LIMITATIONS:

  • High thermal expansion
  • Poor weathering resistance
  • Subject to stress cracking
  • Difficult to bond
  • Flammable
  • Poor temperature capability

Note:

In general, high density grades of polyethylene have densities up to 0.97 g/cm^. Low density grades are as low as 0.91 g/cm^. Typically, the high-density material is more linear and consequently more crystalline. As might be expected, this higher crystallinity permits use at temperatures up to 130 C with somewhat better creep resistance below that temperature. Low density polyethylene has less stiffness than the high density type. Blends of the two types are common.
