HDPE Piping

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is widely used in highly demanding utility pipe applications because of its versatile properties profile. Traditionally, the long term properties of HDPE pipes are determined by using an accelerated internal pressure tests at different temperatures from which a lifetime of 50 years is guaranteed.


However, one of the most prominent properties determining the life of HDPE pipe applications is its resistance to slow crack growth.
Control over slow crack growth is extremely important in order to guarantee lifetimes of 50 years and beyond in the advance of trenchless installation techniques
