UHMWPE mining pipe

Properties of UHMWPE pipe for mining

• High Wear Resistance

         UHMWPE has the best wear resistant among all the engineering plastics. The higher molecular weight of the material is the more wear resistant of the UHMWPE pipeis. UHMWPE pipes are 4 to 7 times more wear                    resistant than PE 100 or Q235 carbon steel, 2.7times of SiMn 13 steel.Thus offers UHMWPE pipe longer life, less maintenance cost and downtime loss.

• High impact strength, flexible and light

          The impact resistance of UHMWPE pipes is 5 times that of HDPE pipe, 2 times that of PC pipe and 10 times that of PTFE pipes.
          It means easy installation and less installation cost
 

• Extremely smooth/ Non scaling / less pumping cost
   

         UHMWPE pipes have very smooth surfaces with low friction loss and high flow rate.
         Surface g roughness of UHMWPE pipe is 0.00022mm, which provides UHMWPE Pipe far superior anti-scaling properties to any other                 pipeline on the market today. It saved maintenance cost of acid cleaning pipes.
     

        UHMWPE has a friction coefficient of 0.05, compared to 0.28 for HDPE or 0.58 for Steel (ISO8295). Along with the benefits mentioned                 above, UHMWPE Pipes also offer significant cost savings through increased pumping efficiency.
        It means less friction loss, less pressure loss and greatly reduced energy inputs.
 

•  High corrosion resistance
   

       For its saturated molecular structure, it has high chemical stability, resistance to all kinds of corrosive medium (acid, alkali, salt) and organic          solvent.    It will offer longer life than other pipelines in acid or corrosive applications.
 

• Working temperature       

       -269 Degrees C to 85 degrees C.

• Environmental friendly
• UHMWPE is colorless, odorless and non-toxic.  UHMWPE pipe is extruded out from pure virgin UHMWPE unless some additives required by clients.
