TKP-TR
Bilayer and Monolayer, High Temperature Resistant HDPE
Designed to resist higher temperatures, TKP-TR expands the application field of the PE pipe up to 180ºF. The TKP PE pipeline includes pipes and fittings.
KEY ADVANTAGES
-
PERT is Polyethylene pipe that can be subject to temperatures above 140°F to 180°F.
-
The heat fusion parameters defined for PE-4710 or PE-100 applies.
-
The same standard HDPE pipe burial design parameters apply.
-
The bend radius is 25 times the pipe OD.
-
The standard thermal rerating parameters until 140°F applies.
-
From 140°F to 180°F PERT re-rating are incorporated into the Pressure Table 1.
-
The chemical resistance for the HDPE applies in whole and in some cases offer a better resistance than the normal PE-4710 ( example: against chlorine).
-
TKP offers diameters from 3” to 48” and of course, TKP-FIT offers the fittings.
APPLICATIONS
-
Pipe for the conduction of fluids during the leaching process in mining.
-
Tube for the cunduction of fluids during bioleaching (bacterial process) in copper mines.
-
Transport of hot water in geothermal wells.
-
Oils and Gass Gathered Applications.
HOOP STRESS VS TIME
This strength versus time graph shows the relation between the European definition of the work pressure, based in the MRS ( ISO) against the use the HDB in the American mode (ASTM) the European method is based in longer observation of the behavior against pressure, and uses a low safety factor for the definition of the work pressure. The definition of the work pressure is the same comparing the TKP-TR –PE100 pipe against PE4710 pert pipes, especially in the critical range above the 140°F when the real work for those pipes really starts.
Because of the European origin of the resin, the material is rated PE-100 and is included in the PPI's TR4 with an MRS=10 MPA according with ISO-9080.
According with the ISO-10508 standard, the design temperature profile is for:
-
50 years @ 20°C (68°F)
-
40 years @60°C (140°F)
-
10 years @ 80°C , (180°F)
-
1 year @ 90°C (194°F)
-
100 hrs for 100 °C (212°F)
Higher standards in properties:
-
Chlorine resistance.
-
High quality water supply.
-
Chemical resistance.
-
Resistance to crack propagation.
When the application is related with the transport of hot water:
-
Chlorine resistance:
TKP-TR is qualied in the highest ranking for chlorine resistance (CLASS 5) ,resisting towards oxidizing conditions tested with the chlorine resistance test (ASTM F2769 & ASTM F2023)
-
High quality water supply:
TKP-TR preserves the water purity and quality ( taste and odor): Value of 2 of the pipe tested with standard EN1622 @ 140°F with a maximum of 4 in the industry standard.
When the application is related with the transport of industrial and chemical fluids:
-
Very good resistance against aggressive chemicals:
The high temperature resistance of TKP-TR , does not interfere with its chemical resistance, what means the pipe has the same resistance of the normal HDPE pipe.
For all the applications:
-
Resistance of crack propagation:
TKP-TR pipe has more resistance to the crack propagation that normal PE-4710 or PE-100 pipe.
