HexelOne receives DVGW certificate

The HexelOne^(R) high pressure pipe system has been certified by the DVGW for gas applications. The approved use of this plastic pipe system in high pressure settings enables users to benefit from two kinds of cost-saving potentials, in the context of high pressure applications, which previously could only be achieved for low pressure applications. The corrosion resistance of these pipes makes cathodic corrosion protection redundant and permits the use of modern installation techniques, which shortens construction time while at the same time significantly reduces construction costs.

Its reinforcement opens new areas of use for the egeplast HexelOne, with permissable operating gas pressures of 16 bar, thus exceeding the range of applications previously covered by PE pipes. The stability achieved by the HexelOne pipe with its reinforcement layer of high strength PE strapping is twice as high as the one provided by PE-100 full-wall pipes. Owing to their protective layer and inner layer made of PE 100-RC, these pipes are suitable for trenchless installation. In addition, HexelOne gas pipes have been certified for up to 160 mm.
