Application
Installation of PE100 piping in the water supply system of the city of Córdoba.
Characteristics
The water mains were principally of GRP material, but there were certain points where difficult geometry required a more flexible material that would at the same time conform to the design specifications. Specifically, these were stretches of road tunnels of slightly larger dimensions than the pipe.
For this reason the material chosen was PE100. The joints were made by butt welding.
The welding machine had a maximum capacity of Ø1000.
Operating Conditions
The operating pressure of the system is 4 bar.
The total length installed was 500m, in three separate tunnels.
Material
The material used was polyethylene PE100 SDR26 (PN6).
