What are the significant advantages of PE Hose over ordinary hoses?
Publish Time: 2024-08-20
PE Hose may have the following significant advantages over ordinary hoses:
Strong corrosion resistance: It can withstand the erosion of a variety of corrosive media and organic solvents, and is more corrosion-resistant than some ordinary plastic hoses.
Good flexibility: Its flexibility makes it easy to bend, and in engineering, it can bypass obstacles by changing the direction of the pipeline. It can reduce the amount of pipe fittings and reduce installation costs, and the good flexibility of polyethylene itself makes the pipe have the advantage of resisting harsh environments such as earthquakes and typhoons.
Good impact resistance: It has high tensile yield strength and tensile fracture strength, and can absorb impact loads. For example, the wear resistance of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipe is 4 to 7 times that of steel pipe, and 10 times that of ordinary polyethylene and polypropylene. Under low temperature conditions, its wear resistance and impact resistance remain basically unchanged.
Light weight: It is easy to carry and install, which can reduce the demand for manpower and equipment, thereby reducing the installation cost of the project.
Smooth inner wall: The water flow resistance is small, its Manning coefficient is low, and it has a higher transmission capacity than traditional pipes. At the same time, it can also reduce the pressure loss and water transmission energy consumption of the pipeline.
Environmentally friendly and non-toxic: no harmful substances will be produced after decomposition, and some are also environmentally friendly.
Easy installation: a variety of construction techniques can be used, such as flange connection, welding, etc. The welding process is simple and the weld strength is high, which provides convenience and guarantee for pipeline installation.
No anti-corrosion treatment is required: saving related costs and work.
Long service life: For example, polyethylene pipes containing evenly distributed carbon black can be stored or used outdoors for 50 years and have strong anti-aging ability.
However, PE Hose may also have some shortcomings, such as relatively poor high temperature resistance, and the specific performance may also vary depending on the specific type of polyethylene, molecular weight and other factors. In practical applications, the choice of hose should be comprehensively considered according to specific needs and use environment.
