DVGW cer tificate for high-pressure pipe system

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 claimed to be twice as high as that provided by PE- 100 full-wall pipes. Owing to their protective layer and inner layer made of PE 100-RC, the pipes are suitable for trenchless installation. The DVGW certificate for drinking water covers dimensions from d 90mm to d 125mm. In addition, HexelOne gas pipes have been certified for up to d 160mm.

makes cathodic corrosion protection redundant, and the system allows the use of modern installation techniques that shorten construction time. The reinforcement opens new areas of use for egeplast’s HexelOne, with permissible operating pressures of 30 bar for water and 16 bar for gas,

THE HexelOne ® high-pressure pipe system has been certified by the DVGW for gas and drinking water applications. The approved use of the plastic pipe system in high-pressure settings provides two benefits that previously only applied to low-pressure applications: the corrosion resistance of the pipes

The HexelOne high-pressure pipe system has been awarded the DVGW certificate for gas and drinking water applications
