HDPE pipe is a kind of high-density polyethylene pipe, which is widely used in various pipeline projects due to its excellent corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, insulation, and lightweight. It is a kind of pipe connection fittings made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material, which is used to connect HDPE pipes.
Classification of HDPE pipe connection fittings
HDPE pipe connection fittings are generally categorized into hot melt connection fittings and electrofusion connection fittings as well as mechanical connection fittings.
Hot melt connection is the use of a hot melt machine will HDPE pipe end face and pipe fittings end face heated to a molten state, and then quickly fit them together, and apply a certain pressure so that the two molten pipe end faces closely together. Heat fusion connection has the advantages of convenient construction and reliable connection, so it is widely used in pipeline engineering.
Electrofusion connection is through the installation of electrofusion casing in the two HDPE pipe end faces, and then using the electric wire to heat the electrofusion casing so that the HDPE pipe end faces are fusion, and finally, the two fused pipe end faces are pasted together. Electrofusion connection has the advantages of fast construction speed, reliable connection, etc., but needs to use special electrofusion casing parts electric heating wire, and other equipment, so the cost is higher.
In addition to heat fusion connection and electrofusion connection, there are some other connection methods, such as flange connection, socket connection, and so on. Different connection methods are suitable for different pipeline engineering needs, so the choice of connection methods needs to be considered according to the actual situation.
Commonly used HDPE pipe connection fittings
Commonly used HDPE pipe connection fittings include HDPE Equal Tee, Straight, Elbow, Socket Fittings, and so on.
HDPE pipe fittings are widely used in various piping systems, and common types of fittings include.
Equal Tee: Used to distribute fluid from one inlet to two or more outlets, commonly used in application scenarios where diversion is required.
Direct: used to connect two HDPE pipes to ensure smooth passage of fluid.
Elbows: Used to change the direction of fluid flow, elbows with different angles are available to meet different installation requirements.
Socket fittings: These fittings are usually used for quick connection and installation, reducing the need for welding or bonding and simplifying the installation process.
In addition, there are some special HDPE fittings, such as HDPE Butt Fusion Fittings, Flange Connection Fittings, etc. These fittings are selected according to specific usage scenarios and installation requirements. HDPE fittings are widely used in industry, agriculture, municipal engineering, and other fields due to their corrosion resistance, pressure resistance, temperature resistance, and other characteristics.
