Is PE pipe resistant to high temperature?

Ordinary PE pipes can withstand temperatures around 60 ° C. Within this temperature range, the molecular structure of PE pipes is relatively stable and can maintain good physical properties, such as strength, toughness and sealing, thus ensuring the normal operation of the pipeline system. Taking PE water supply pipes as an example, when conveying tap water at room temperature or temperature not exceeding 60 ° C, PE pipes can operate stably for a long time without obvious performance degradation. In some community water supply systems in Hubei, PE water supply pipes can ensure the safety and stability of residents' water use even in high temperature weather in summer due to their good high temperature resistance.

But when the temperature exceeds 60 ° C, the performance of PE pipes will be affected. As the temperature continues to rise, PE pipes will gradually soften and deform. This is because high temperature will intensify the activity of the molecular chain of the PE pipe, weaken the force between molecules, and reduce the rigidity and hardness of the pipe. If the PE pipe is used to transport medium with high temperature, or to keep it in a high temperature environment for a long time, the pipe may have deformation problems such as pipe diameter thinning, local depression, and even rupture in serious cases, resulting in pipeline leakage. For example, in some projects that try to transport hot water with ordinary PE pipes, but do not take good thermal insulation measures, when the water temperature exceeds the tolerance temperature of the PE pipe, the pipe softens and leaks in a short time, and eventually has to be replaced, which increases the cost of the project and the difficulty of maintenance.

In Hubei, choosing high-quality PE pipe products and professional PE pipe manufacturers is the key to ensuring the quality of the project. As a local professional PE pipe manufacturer in Hubei, Hubei Au Yuan Building Materials Co., Ltd. produces PE pipes, PE water supply pipes and other products in strict accordance with national standards, and every link is strictly controlled from raw material procurement, production process to quality inspection. The PE pipes produced by the company can stably exert their excellent performance in the temperature environment of 60 ° C and below, providing reliable protection for water supply and drainage, gas transportation and other projects. At the same time, the company also provides customers with professional technical guidance to help customers choose the right pipe according to the actual use scenario to avoid damage to the pipe performance due to temperature and other factors.
