What does PE pipe PE100 mean?

In the family of plastic pipes, PE pipes are widely used in various fields due to their excellent performance. And when we deeply understand PE pipes, we often encounter the logo "PE100". What does it mean? Today, we will explain in detail and see what excels the PE100 grade PE pipes of AD Pipeline.

First of all, let's get to know PE pipes. PE is the English abbreviation of polyethylene (Polyethylene). PE pipes are plastic pipes extruded from polyethylene as the main raw material. It has many advantages such as light weight, corrosion resistance, good flexibility, convenient construction, and long service life. It plays an important role in municipal water supply, drainage, gas transportation, agricultural irrigation, and industrial fluid transportation.

So, what exactly does the "100" in "PE100" refer to? In simple terms, PE100 is a grade identification for polyethylene pipe materials. The "100" here represents the minimum required strength (MRS) of this grade of polyethylene material is 10 trillion Pa (MPa). The minimum required strength is an important indicator of the ability of plastic pipe raw materials to resist internal pressure damage under specific temperature and time conditions. The higher the value, the better the mechanical strength and pressure resistance of the material.

This means that, compared with lower grade PE materials (such as PE80), PE100 grade materials can withstand higher working pressure under the same wall thickness; or under the same working pressure, thinner pipe walls can be used, which may bring certain material savings and installation convenience under the premise of ensuring safety performance. Therefore, PE100 grade PE pipe is generally considered to be a pipe choice with higher strength and superior performance.

AD Pipe, as a well-known brand in the industry, produces PE100 grade PE pipes that strictly follow relevant standards and use high-quality PE100 raw materials for production. This ensures that the pipe not only has the high pressure resistance, excellent impact resistance and environmental stress cracking resistance that the PE100 material itself should have, but also maintains stable and reliable performance during long-term use, effectively ensuring the safety and efficiency of fluid transportation.

PE100 grade PE pipe with its excellent performance is widely used in urban water supply main pipe, large water diversion projects, gas transmission pipelines and industrial and municipal fields with high requirements for pipe strength and durability. Choosing PE100 grade PE pipe of AD pipeline is undoubtedly a reliable guarantee for the quality of the project and long-term use effect.

To sum up, PE100 represents a high-grade, high-performance polyethylene pipe raw material, which is an important embodiment of the pressure resistance and structural strength of PE pipe. Understanding the meaning of PE100 will help us choose the right PE pipe products more scientifically and reasonably in different application scenarios.
