One of the most important components of any HDPE pipe infrastructure are the HDPE segmented fittings holding it together. HDPE pipes are the most used type of pipes to create a safe path for liquid transportation. There are many different types of HDPE segmented fittings including butt fusion fitting, tee-shaped fitting, elbow fitting, and several more.
So, let’s see what you need to look at when deciding the correct HDPE segmented fittings in Dubai.
The first thing you need to consider is the size and dimensions of the HDPE pipes you wish to connect. Each type of HDPE pipe and HDPE segmented fittings have different sizes and dimensions. You will need a HDPE segmented fitting that can fit comfortably on both pipes that you wish to connect together.
For example, if you wish to connect a thin HDPE pipe to a thick HDPE pipe with a tee-shaped HDPE segmented fitting, you will need a tee-shaped HDPE segmented fitting that has one end larger than the other. Make sure to take notes from your pipe infrastructure project to choose the tight HDPE segmented fittings.
A liquid being transported through an HDPE pipe will exert most of its pressure on the HDPE segmented fittings. HDPE segmented fittings such as tee and elbow need to sustain a lot of pressure when liquid passes through them. An HDPE reducer on the other hand does not need to sustain as much pressure as aforementioned HDPE segmented pipes.
So, make sure that you only choose HDPE segmented fittings with high-pressure ratings for areas of the pipe infrastructure where the liquid is likely to exert high levels of pressure. Failing to do so can result in disconnection of the HDPE segmented fitting, leading to leaks.
However, HDPE segmented pipes that need to transport gases should focus more on corrosion resistance than pressure resistance. This is because gases are more prone to leaking than liquid and corrosion in small segments can lead to leaking of gases from HDPE segmented fittings.
Despite being made of the same materials, HDPE segmented fittings come in different prices based on several factors. Each type of HDPE segmented fitting has a different cost. Costs can also differ based on the HDPE segmented fitting supplier.
To get the best value for your money, make sure to check the offerings of multiple suppliers. While it is tempting to choose the lowest cost option, it is important to keep in mind that leaks as a result of lower quality HDPE segmented fittings will end up costing you more than better quality HDPE segmented fittings.
In Dubai, HDPE segmented fittings along with HDPE pipes must have the right credentials to comply with local laws when they are being used for purposes such as water and oil transportation. Any failure in complying with these measures will result in penalties for a business.
To make sure that all the HDPE segmented fittings your business uses are complying with the correct regulations, make sure that the HDPE segmented fittings supplier has all the necessary credentials to sell these items in Dubai.
