Advantages of high-quality polyethylene corrugated pipes

Corrugated tubes are those provided with grooves or protrusions instead of the smooth surface offered by other tubes. In the case of corrugated high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes, their use is common in sewage networks, rainwater collectors, conduction and drainage of river waters, recovery of swampy soils, tubing of irrigation channels, drainage of highway and highways, agricultural drains, heap leach drains and acid water transport in mining.

The advantages of high density polyethylene corrugated tubes are:

· Resistance to impact and chemical abrasion

· Post contents

· Resistance to impact and chemical abrasion

· UV resistance

· Low temperature resistance

· Annular stiffness

· Hydraulic characteristics

· Less weight

· Low coefficient of roughness

It is transversely elastic. It is free of halogens and is insoluble in alcohols, acetone, water, alkalis or acids. The material is capable of withstanding a degree of acidity or PH from 1.5 to 14 due to its characteristics.

UV resistance

For this reason, they can be used outdoors, without having to protect them from sunlight during the day.

Low temperature resistance

It has been proven that these types of tubes are capable of withstanding, without suffering any type of damage or modification, temperatures below 40 degrees below zero.

Annular stiffness

The type of profiling gives it great annular stiffness, which works as a flexible system, supporting vertical loads transferring most of the load to the surrounding soil.

Hydraulic characteristics

They are better than those of 'conventional' tubes, as they have a smooth inner wall.

Less weight

Unlike other pipelines, these are pipes that weigh little, which facilitates their transport and handling. This also implies economic cost savings.

Low coefficient of roughness

It is one of the smallest in the world of materials for the transport of liquids, which implies a high speed of transit water.

These pipes can be wrapped with filter materials such as geotextile, so that the soil particles do not penetrate the drains.

The corrugated pipes can be made either with open couplings, clamps with which at least two corrugations are fastened to both ends of the pipes (although they can be more) or with a system of spigot-bell joint. It is possible to extrude a double wall thickness bell with which to achieve a completely watertight hermetic seal. In addition, the high annular stiffness of this type of hood allows fast installation, high resistance to burial loads, fast installation, the possibility of joining work despite having little space and lower cost than other systems.

PE corrugated pipe has excellent chemical resistance and abrasion resistance properties, making it the ideal solution for a wide range of applications, such as use with cold and hot water, waste and drainage and, at the industrial level, for the transport of dangerous fluids.

The corrugated pipe is manufactured using the corrugated pipe extrusion machine. This machine offers a high and stable production capacity, and its operation is highly automatic.

In addition, the forming system comprises of a mold and corrugators, and the mold blocks can be easily changed and can be water or air cooled; It also has in-line cup formation and is a high precision cutting machine.

The corrugator block is a very important part of the equipment for manufacturing double-wall corrugated pipe. This is why corrugated pipe manufacturers pay great attention to the inspection of raw material, production and final product.
