PE
100 FITTINGS
 Introduction
Polyethylene (PE) is a thermoplastic that belongs to the group of polyolefines.
Partially crystalline, it is an environmentally compatible product.
In comparison to other thermoplastics, PE shows essential advantages which
make it specially suitable for water and gas distribution applications,
but can also be used in irrigation systems, industrial facilities or in
building installations.
Also described as third generation polyethylene types (or MRS 10), offers
higher density and therefore improved mechanical properties to previous
developments (PE 80 / PE63).
The employed PE-material complies with the requirements of EN 12201 (plastic
pipe systems for drinking water supply) and EN 1555 (plastic pipe systems
for gas supply).
Features & Advantages
Technical data
• Density according to ISO 1183 930
kg/m³.
• Melt-flow index according to ISO
1133: 0,3-0,5 g/10 min.
• Longitudinal expansion coefficient
according to DIN 53572 - 0,13 mm/m.k.
• Colour: black.
Geometric properties and nominal pressures
• Outside diameter and wall
thickness according to EN 1555 and EN 12201.
• Outside diameter/wall thickness ratio
SDR with nominal pressure PN:
PE 100 SDR 11 PN 16
PE 100 SDR 17 PN 10
Unions
• By electrofusion or butt welding.
• PE 100 fittings can be welded in
the MFR-range (0,3 - 0,5) g/10 min., with all tubes in conformity with
the standards EN 12201 and EN 1555.
Advantages of PE
• High resistance to impact and corrosion
(very good chemical resistance).
• Flexibility (suitable for underground
piping).
• Low weight (cost-saving in transport
and handling).
• Thermal resistant (up to 80ºC
and low temperatures).
• Less frictional resistance avoids
deposits/residue effects.
