This morning, we received an urgent call from a customer out on site who wanted to double-check the weld time for a 63mm electrofusion socket. He was surprised to learn that it only takes 65-70 seconds. It’s best to double-check, we say, so off we went to the warehouse to check an EF socket on …
Managing Expansion in Above-Ground HDPE Piping Installations HDPE piping has become a go-to choice for engineers and project managers thanks to its flexibility, durability, and resistance to corrosion. It’s especially effective in demanding environments, such as regional mine sites or suspended pipe galleries, where adaptability and longevity are crucial. One of the most important factors …
HDPE, carbon steel or stainless steel? As budgets get tighter and the expectation to reduce costs continues to rise, all businesses are on the lookout for ways to save. While some of the more obvious costs are quickly considered, reducing energy usage and the associated costs is a critical item to consider. While carbon steel …
Image: Highlighting the challenge of fitting a 3D bend, this photo shows a modified guardrail to accommodate it. Contrastingly, the 1.5D bend behind seamlessly fits in the same position, offering optimal performance without altering the guardrail. How to replace steel bends We recently received a customer query about how to get HDPE bends to match …
Maxi stub flanges — comprising a hybrid stub flange and backing ring — are a quick and effective solution to reduce a flange size whilst keeping your HDPE pipeline internal diameter (ID) consistent. They’re particularly useful when your poly pipe system features a magnetic flow meter. That’s because maxi flange adaptors are specifically designed for …
