Polyethylene Pressure Pipe

Developed at the beginning of 1990, third generation PE 100 raw material gets to be both high performance and economic solution to the potable water and natural gas networks areas.

• First generation raw materials: PE 32 (LDPE), PE 40 (LDPE), PE 63 (HDPE)

• Second generation raw materials: PE 80 (MDPE), PE 80 (HDPE)

• Third generation raw materials: PE 100 (HDPE)

Fırat increased its product range from Ø 1600mm up to Ø 2500 mm in 2013. Pipes are produced in coils up to Ø 125 mm and in 12-13 m lengths at Ø 125 mm and above, in addition monolith pipe production at lengths of 250 or 500 m to be transported over sea in the special projects.

Raw materials used in the polyethylene pipe and fitting productions are classified with MRS (Minimum Required Strength) according to mechanic resistance criteria. MRS is the resistance value of material against inner pressure at 20 °C for 50 years. According to MRS, PE materials are classified in the side figure. Safety co-efficient is determined according to class of raw material and state of the network in the PE pipe networks and all calculations are made according to this co-efficient. The safety co-efficient in the natural gas networks is C=2.0, safety co-efficient in the potable water distribution lines is C=1.25.
