Composite Pipes – Excellent Choice From Every Perspective

Posted: May 27, 2016
Piping systems are available in plenty of configurations and made from different materials. One can see pipes made of steel, stainless steel, GI pipes and plastic pipes and so on. But there are also pipes made in a combination of materials. These are known as Composite Pipes. If you find a pipe cross section with aluminum pipe in the center, forming the core and the inner and outer layers of polyethylene, you are looking at the composition kind of piping that is referred Merits of Having a Multiple Layer Pipe Installed
The technical objective behind having a pipe which goes with the configuration, PE-AL-PE is to take full advantage of the metal-plastic combination and at the same time negating any deficiency in either the metal or the plastic. The immediate benefit that the combination gives is that it is absolutely leak proof and the user can rely 100% on the piping system with these pipes being durable and reliable for all the applications chosen.
Major Applications and Uses
The use of Composite Pipes is directly related to its unique properties and features. These include resistance to corrosion and being inert to chemicals and acids. Any manufacturing other process environment were these risks exist becomes the best place for use of these pipes and customers in these segments invariably choose the PE-AL-PE pipes only for such occasions. Chemical plants and piping used for transfer of gases are 2 of the most prominent uses for these pipe lines. Other uses include hot and cold water plumbing applications as well as where floor heating from below is installed. Experts believe that these pipes, once installed, can last very long, close to half a century.
There is no difficulty with regard to the fittings either since these pipes work well with compression fittings made of brass and the joints can be as good as 100% free from leaks.
Yet another feature of the Composite Pipes that makes it attractive to the users is its malleability. The pipe can be bent to any shape by hand and it will stay as it is without having to provide any support. They don’t allow any scale formation either.
In sum, the usage of the combination piping system having PE-AL-PE multiple layer pipes is highly beneficial to the user industries. They work better, the user need not have any worries on the pipe system leaking and above all if a piping work can last 50 years, there can be no better reason for using it.
