How to properly extend the service life of UHMWPE Pipe?

Pulished on Aug. 24, 2020

As a UHMWPE Pipe Manufacturers, share with you. The main characteristics of UHMWPE wear-resistant pipes are high wear resistance and strong corrosion resistance. However, in actual transportation, the factors affecting wear do not exist singly, but appear comprehensively. Therefore, even if it is the same material and the same material is used, the degree of wear is different due to different conveying conditions.

Precautions when using ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipes as tailings pipes. The slope of the tailings pipeline should not be too steep. If the slope of the pipeline is large, the tailings coarse-grained ore lump is not easy to transport up, and a large amount of enrichment is up and down in the pipeline. The back and forth cycle will cause the pipeline to wear quickly. Therefore, it is also necessary to avoid large ore blocks in the tailings and reduce the pipe diameter to make the tailings conveying system run smoothly. Reduce the water hammer and reduce the resistance, which can greatly extend the life of the polymer tailings pipe.

The main factors affecting the abrasion of polyethylene pipes are as follows:

1. The characteristics of conveying materials; such as material size, shape, solid content, hardness, moisture, crushing rate and adhesion, etc.

2. The material of UHMWPE pipes: such as the molecular weight, hardness, surface finish, inner diameter, pipe layout, etc. of the polyethylene pipes.

3. Conveying conditions: including the speed, temperature and flow state of the conveying medium.

Through the above points, when using ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipes, everyone chooses the appropriate molecular weight and wall thickness, and correctly completes the pipeline layout, so as to extend the life of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipe.

Everyone knows the product characteristics of UHMWPE pipes. Let’s talk about the economy and safety of UHMWPE pipes.

1. Economy: The comprehensive index of one-time investment cost and later operation and maintenance cost of UHMWPE pipe is low. In general, if the investment cost is high, the reliability is good and the operation and maintenance cost is low; the opposite is also true. In the process of use, we must strive to ensure that the components in the pipeline system have the same strength and life. If you can choose a wear-resistant pipeline with low investment cost and low maintenance and replacement costs, you can achieve the purpose of high quality and low price. , The pipeline is durable and economical.
