PE Pipe Installation Technical Specifications and Construction Guidelines

Hubei AD Building Materials Co., Ltd. as a professional pipeline customization manufacturer, strictly follows the national standard construction standards to provide you with high-quality PE pipe products and technical support. The following are the core points of PE pipe installation: 1. General regulations

trenching width: When the ground is connected, the trenching width is the outer diameter of the pipeline (D) + 0.3m; when the trench is difficult to install or backfill, the width is D + 0.5m, and the total width is not less than 0.7m. 2. Pipeline installation 1. Pipe trench bottom preparation

pressure system: the horizontal accuracy of the pipe trench bottom is low, but the soil compactness needs to be ensured; gravity drainage system: the slope needs to strictly comply with the design specifications; pipe trench treatment: if the bottom of the pipe trench is straight and there is no large stone, no additional leveling is required; the bottom of the disturbed pipe trench needs to be mixed with sand and clay with a diameter of 50mm, and the compactness needs to be consistent with the surrounding landfill materials; in shale or loose rock soil, the pipe trench needs to be overdug 150mm, backfilled with specified materials and tamped to more than 90% compactness; in unstable soils such as wet clay or sand, the pipe trench needs to be overdug 100-150mm, backfilled with original soil or specified materials to provide uniform support. 2. Pipeline laying

pipeline inspection in the trench: comprehensive inspection is required before entering the trench to ensure that there are no defects; connection method: the pipeline can be pre-connected into a 150m pipe section on the ground, using hot melt or mechanical connection; hoisting requirements: pipes with a nominal diameter < 200mm can be manually dragged into the trench; large pipes and accessories need to be lowered with professional tools, and nylon ropes are recommended for long-distance hoisting. 3. Final connection and assembly

hot melt connection: The hot melt connection in the pipe trench needs to ensure that the pipeline is cooled to the ambient temperature; Flange connection: PE pipes are connected with metal pipes and equipment with flanges, and bolts need to be pre-tightened and re-tightened after 8 hours. Third, stress testing

strength test: the test pressure is 1.5 times the pressure level of the pipe, and the pressure is passed without leakage or obvious pressure drop for 1 hour; normal pressure drop is allowed due to pipeline expansion. Water tightness test: The test pressure is 1.15 times the pressure level of the pipe, and the pressure is passed without leakage or pressure drop for 24 hours. Fourth, backfill and tamping

backfill material: It is recommended to use 5-40mm angular stones (such as coral crushed, slag, gravel, etc.) to ensure backfill compactness. Hubei AD Pipeline - Your Reliable Choice
