What is PE 3408?
PE3408. PE3408 has a resin designation of 3, a crack resistance factor of 4, and a HDS of 800 psi at 73F. Because this classification has been in existence for quite some time, it is sometimes included in specifications even when another pipe is actually being used, such as PE3408/3608 or PE3408/4710.
What is PE means in pipe?
Polyethylene
Polyethylene (PE) is a thermoplastic material produced from the polymerization of ethylene. PE plastic pipe is manufactured by extrusion in sizes ranging from ½” to 63″.
How do you identify PE pipe?
National and International standards require that the pipe is clearly marked with the grade of PE from which it is manufactured on the outer surface of the pipe along with other information including: manufacturer’s name or trade mark; pipe diameter; pressure rating; and date, and a code, related to manufacture.
What is PE4710?
What is High-Performance PE4710 Polyethylene? High-performance polyethylene is an improved polyethylene compound for pressure pipe that is designated PE4710. Compared to conventional pressure piping materials such as PE3408, several important performance characteristics are significantly enhanced.
What is PE2708?
PolyTough1 (PE2708) is a unique high performance medium density gas distribution pipe manufactured from Dow® ContinuumTM DGDA 2420 bimodal resin. PolyTough1 provides outstanding resistance to slow crack growth (SCG) and rapid crack propagation (RCP) which provides for a safer gas distribution system.
What is AWWA C901?
AWWA C901 – Polyethylene (PE) Pressure Pipe and Tubing, 3⁄4 In. (19 mm) Through 3 In. (76 mm), for Water Service | Engineering360.
What is the difference between HDPE pipe and PE pipe?
HDPE is a highly crystalline, non-polar thermoplastic resin. The appearance of the original HDPE is milky white and the thin section is translucent to a certain extent. PE(polyethylene plastic) is the most basic kind of plastic. Plastic bags and cling film are all PE.
What is the difference between IPS and dips HDPE pipe?
IPS sized HDPE pipe has the same outside diameter as black iron or carbon steel pipe. DIPS sized HDPE has the same outside diameter as cast/ductile iron pipe. Typically, ductile iron pipe sizes are available from 4- inch to 36-inch diameters.
Is PE4710 a HDPE?
PE 4710 pipe is produced from the highest rated HDPE pipe materials. This is a long lasting, fusible pipe. PE4710 pipe is a pressure rated product and listed under the Plastics Pipe Institutes (PPI) Technical Report Four (TR-4 @www.plasticpipe.org > PPI Publications > Technical Reports).
