UHMWPE Life Escape Pipe

Attributes of UHMWPE Pipe

According to the research achievement in anthropometry by its pioneer named A.R.Tilly, a famous America expert, it can be known, when people is moving by crawling, in a relatively comfortable way, normally the crawling height is 800mm, so the diameter of the round pipe should be no less than 800mm for people crawling across the pipeline escape passage. Meanwhile, by considering the real situation in the road tunnel construction site, the outer diameter of the emergency rescue passage should not be too large, or it may effect the construction more seriously, therefore the diameter of the UHMWPE escape pipe produced by our company is DN800mm with a wall thickness in 30mm.    

Characteristics of Life Escape Pipe:

1. when the High Impact Resistance UHMWPE pipe was attacked by a strong outside force, it would deform instantly, but the pipe would return to its original shape by absorbing a huge impact strength.

2. High Ring Stiffness: the UHMWPE tube has a good pressure resistance, and not easy to be deformed, so its pressure resistance ability and the ability to resist environmental damage can be much better than the other pipes when the collapse accident is happening during the road tunnel construction.

3. Anti-aging: the UHMWPE pipe has an excellent property in anti-aging.

4. Light in Weight: the weight is just about 1/8 that of steel pipe, easy to be installed and handled.

5. High Toughness: the elongation at break of the UHMWPE pipe is no less than 350%, which is showing an extremely strong toughness.

6. Easy Connection: the pipes can be assembled together flexibly with a reliable safety.
