Polyethylene pipe properties :
Polyethylene was first documented by the German chemist Hans von Pechmann. In 1998, during the heating of diazomethane, he found a white waxy compound that later became a polyethylene. The term "polymer" origins from the Greek word "poly" means "multiply", and "mer" meaning "unit" or "part".
Application of Nylon in 1938 polyethylene in 1942 and polypropylene in 1974 became widely commonplace.
Polyethylene pipes due to the impossibility of leakage, no corrosive damage, easy installation and soil, pressure resistance have been used for about half a century.
and features of the polyethylene pipes are as following:
Resistance against chemical materials, organic solvents, intense cold and heat erosion, impact, rodents attacks and ultraviolet rays of the sun. due to it’s relatively low weight Strength and flexibility and stress-carrying capacity Anti sediment Since polyethylene is a viscoelastic material and it's showing the same behavior like all thermoplastics, it changes over time.
