Development of PE
50 Years PE pipes
for gas and water supply
flexibility (pipes in variable lengths)
resistance against corrosion
safety, less damages cases
easy laying (welding)

gas supply:
PE transport pipelines for gas
are normally used until DN 200
Some big cities until DN 350
e.g. London (England) up to DN 600

-water supply:
PE up to DN 200 is more economical
than cast iron (in the opinion some major
water companies)

today DN 600
or even larger

advantages:
- ring made of elastomer generates pre-loading
- Profile ring repulses mud
- simple installation due to push-fit system,
- quick pipelaying (without cooling time)
- no welding operators required
- independent of the weather conditions,
- no electric power supply required,
