EASY TO INSTALL
EONN HDPE Pipes are easy to install, because they are lightweight and come in long lengths. Because of their rapid installation properties and less frequent jointing, they are widely used in applications which include stock watering, irrigation systems, communication, gasses and reticulated water mains.
LONG LIFE
HDPE Pipes have a proven record for high reliability, as they have been functioning perfectly now for a period of 50 years. HDPE has proved beyond a shadow of doubt that it can provide a long maintenance free lifetime with low whole life costs, when compared with many other materials. In fact, the WSAA Polyethylene Pipeline Code predicts the life of HDPE Piping to be well in excess of 100 years, before any major rehabilitation is required.
LEAK FREE
EONN HDPE Pipes are normally joined by heat fusion. Butt, socket, sidewall fusion and electro fusion create joints that are as strong as the pipes themselves, and virtually leak free. This unique joining method produces significant cost reductions when compared to
other materials.
CORROSION,ABRASION,AND CHEMICAL RESISTANT
The performance of EONN HDPE Pipes in mining, dredging and similar applications proves that they will outwear many more costly piping materials while conveying a variety of abrasive slurries. Since HDPE has excellent corrosion resistance and is virtually inert, it does not need expensive maintenance or cathodic protection. It offers better overall resistance to corrosive acids, bases and salts than most piping materials. In addition, HDPE is unaffected by bacteria, fungi and the most “aggressive” naturally occurring soils. It has good resistance to many organic substances, such as solvents and fuels.
EXCELLENT FLOW CHARACTERISTICS
Because EONN HDPE Pipes are smoother than steel, cast iron, ductile iron, or concrete, a smaller HDPE pipe can carry an equivalent volumetric flow rate at the same pressure. It has less drag and a lower tendency for turbulence at high flow. Its superior chemical resistance and “non-stick” surface combine to almost eliminate scaling and pitting and preserve the excellent hydraulic characteristics throughout the pipe service life.
LIGHTWEIGHT AND FLEXIBLE
EONN HDPE Pipes are produced in straight lengths or in coils. Made from materials about one-eighth the density of steel, they are lightweight and do not require the use of heavy lifting equipment for installation. They reduce the need for fittings, are excellent in shifting soils and perform well in earthquake-prone areas. HDPE Piping resists the effects of freezing and allows bending without the need for an excessive number of fittings. Since HDPE is not a brittle material, the piping can be installed with bends over uneven terrain
easily, in continuous lengths without additional welds or couplings.
DUCTILITY,TOUGHNESS AND HIGH IMPACT STRENGHT
EONN HDPE Pipes are inherently tough, resilient and resistant to damage caused by external loads, vibrations, and from pressure surges such as water hammer. Even in cold weather, polyethylene piping is tolerant to handling and bending. The high impact strength of PE pipes compared with other materials ensures a greater resistance to the rigors of pipe laying conditions.
HIGH WEATHERING RESISTANCE
EONN HDPE Pipes include carbon black in the raw material and are thus stabilized against ultra violet (UV) light degradation. Our black polyethylene pipes are suitable for installations where the pipes are exposed to direct sunlight. |
