Product Description:
Introduction to Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE)
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a type of
engineering thermoplastics that boasts a viscosity-average
molecular weight exceeding 2.0 million. Compared to conventional
HDPE material, UHMWPE pipe exhibits superior performance in a range
of applications.
The Benefits of UHMWPE Pipe
The unique characteristics of UHMWPE pipe make it highly desirable
in many industries. Its exceptional strength and high molecular
weight allow it to withstand abrasive substances and harsh
conditions, such as extreme temperatures, chemical exposure, and
heavy loads. Furthermore, UHMWPE is resistant to water absorption
and maintains excellent mechanical properties even in sub-zero
temperatures.
The Advantages Over HDPE Material
When compared to HDPE material, the advantages of UHMWPE pipe are
clear. UHMWPE can handle higher pressure, has better abrasion
resistance, and is more durable overall. Additionally, HDPE is more
prone to deformation and creep, which can lead to failure over
time. UHMWPE pipe's superior strength and durability, coupled with
its excellent resistance to a broad range of environmental factors,
make it the ideal material for use in pipelines and other critical
applications.
Features:
Longer Life
UHMWPE Pipe offers superior wear resistance compared to Q235 Steel
or HDPE (PE100) pipes under the same working conditions. This means
that it gives you far superior life under most operating
conditions. In fact, its wear resistance is 4 to 7 times greater
than that of Q235 Steel and 10 times that of HDPE (PE100) pipes.
Non-Scaling
The extremely smooth surface and self-lubricating properties of
UHMWPE Pipe make it highly resistant to scaling. This makes it far
superior to other pipeline products on the market today. Its
non-stick factor is also the reason for its strength in the marine
industry where it prevents the formation of barnacles.
Lower Maintenance Costs, Less Maintenance Time, Less Downtime, Less
Loss of Production
UHMWPE Pipes offer several benefits that result in cost savings for
the user. The wear resistance and weight reduction (0.93 SG)
properties of UHMWPE Pipes mean that the time between pipe
replacements and/or rotations can be increased while reducing
installation management constraints of lifting gear and excavation
requirements. This leads to lower maintenance costs, less
maintenance time, less downtime, and less loss of production.
Reduced Pumping Costs
UHMWPE Pipes offer significant cost savings through increased
pumping efficiency. With a surface roughness of 0.00022mm, UHMWPE
Pipe is extremely smooth and has resultant properties superior to
PTFE (Teflon). The friction coefficient of UHMWPE is 0.05, compared
to 0.28 for HDPE and 0.58 for Steel (ISO 8295), which means less
friction, less pressure loss, and greatly reduced energy inputs to
deliver the same result.
Chemical and Corrosion Resistance
UHMWPE Pipe offers superior chemical resistance in acidic or
corrosive applications under 85 degrees Celsius. Its chemical
resistance is second only to PTFE (Teflon), which makes it the
ideal choice for such applications.
Lower Installation Costs
The strength of UHMWPE pipes can offer savings in installation
costs. The high compressive strength means reduced size or
eliminating excavations (greater than 1.5x that of HDPE). The
combination of strength and flexibility (>250% tensile
elongation) means concrete bases are not required on wetlands and
difficult terrain. The high strength and flexibility provide
greater protection against damage due to ground subsidence,
earthquakes, or other unexpected movement and loading of the
pipeline. Furthermore, it can be laid directly on the seabed, which
further reduces installation costs.
