What are the differences between the performance of PE80 and PE100?

2025-04-19

In the field of PE pipes, PE80 and PE100 are two common materials, which have many differences in performance, and professional PE pipe manufacturers will produce pipe products for different purposes according to these differences.

In terms of tensile performance, PE100 is 20% higher than PE80. This means that PE100 can withstand greater tensile force and is not easy to break when withstanding external force. In the process of pipeline laying and use, it can resist external pulling force and ensure the integrity of pipeline structure.

impact resistance, PE100 is also better than PE80. Whether it is handling during construction, installation, or accidental impact during use, PE100 pipes can better resist impact and reduce the risk of damage caused by collision.

bending performance, PE100 is 20% higher than PE80, making PE100 pipes easier to bend and lay in the face of terrain changes and other conditions to meet the needs of complex construction environments.

pressure bearing capacity is an important indicator to measure the performance of pipelines, PE100 With higher strength, the pressure bearing capacity is significantly higher than PE80. In application scenarios with high pressure requirements such as water supply and gas transportation, PE100 pipelines can operate more safely and stably.

In terms of crack growth resistance, PE100 far exceeds PE80. Even if there are small cracks on the surface of the pipeline, PE100 material can effectively inhibit the further expansion of cracks and prolong the service life of the pipeline.

Because of these performance differences, professional PE pipeline manufacturers will choose suitable raw materials to produce corresponding products according to different engineering needs. For projects with high pressure requirements and complex environments, PE100 production pipelines are preferred; while in some projects with relatively low pressure and environmental requirements, PE80 pipelines are suitable for their good cost performance.
