Frequently asked questions about PE 100
Up to what pressure can PE 100 be used?
Depending on wall thickness (SDR) up to PN 25 – at 20 °C over a 50-year service life. PE 100 has a minimum required strength (MRS) of 10 MPa.
How is PE 100 jointed?
By fusion: heated-tool butt welding or electrofusion couplers – permanently tight without gaskets.
What is PE 100-RC?
A particularly crack-resistant (Resistant to Crack) grade for trenchless and sand-bed-free installation.
Request PE 100?
Medium, pressure, temperature, size and quantity are enough – we recommend the material and supply the complete system including fittings and welding technology.
