AL-Rajhi Pipes
HDPE Piping solution due to its renowned following characteristics

💥

High Impact Resistance

(Also referred to as toughness) This might be one of the most important properties needed in transferring fluids. It is mainly about how strongly this material can withstand a sudden internal or external hit (normally for a buried pipe, a sudden pressure wave inside pipe). This property reports the amount of energy this material is capable of absorbing before deforming.

🔄

Elasticity

Despite being very rigid, HDPE stays a polymer material, and this means high degree of elasticity and flexibility. The implications of this are high impact resistance, flexibility and minimum possibility of damaging HDPE material because of rough trench conditions or reduction of massive number of bends. This characteristic also implies that using these flexible pipes is safer especially in applications that need seismic protection.

🌡️

Thermal Resistance

The operational safe temperature range of HDPE starts in the cold side from -40°C and ends in the hot side at about 100°C, and this range includes most of applications except the heating applications.

🌀

Smooth Internal Wall

The PE pipe interior is very smooth and guarantees decent flow. Not only this, the smoothness lifetime is much larger than that of steel or ductile iron because PE doesn't rust or rot. The free flow eliminates the possibility of internal deposits which make the inner diameter smaller.

🛡️

Wear Resistance

High yield strength, high toughness, and high tensile stress the HDPE resists hard ambience. Even if the bedding used for this type of pipes contains large granules of rock and sand, this material can withstand up to granule diameter size of 65 mm which is really superb.

☀️

Weather Resistance

This property is an extension of thermal resistance and wear resistance properties, which means it can be left in any weather no matter how hard it is and nothing will happen to it. AL-RAJHI PIPES HDPE products are UV stabilised carbon black protected.

🔥

Poor Heat Conductivity

This is one of the most useful properties of HDPE that make it suitable for the applications where it necessary to secure absence of heat leakage either in or out, like HVAC applications.

Insulation/Sleeve

This is another property that assures it is always very safe to use HDPE pipes even close to the areas where electric wires may pass or cross. HDPE is bad conductor for electric current.

🚫

Non-Toxic

This property is inherent from the fact that the HDPE material is inert so the water inside will always be clean and safe. This is a big advantage when HDPE is compared to metal pipes for conveyance of potable drinking water.

🔗

Homogeneous Welded Joints

Many technicians always complain that the welding remains a critical process for the metal pipes, because, the rigidity of metal prevents the full homogeneity of the welding area. While with HDPE, welding is more powerful especially in butt welding, that makes the Joints share same properties of the pipe, and even are stronger.

🔥

Highly Suitable for Welding

The main process used for manufacturing HDPE pipes is extrusion which is a hot forming process, that ensures high homogeneity for the end product, which leads to homogeneous formation of the molten material at the time of welding.

🏗️

Pre-Fabrication

The HDPE is friendly for pre-fabrication to make customised products, for example segmented fittings can be pre-fabricated from the pipes of same SDR.

⚖️

Lightweight

The light weight nature of HDPE pipes and fittings makes it easy for handling and installation in comparison to other materials.
