Polyethylene PEX tubing

PEX tubing made of polyethylene are designed for underground PEX tubing transporting flammable natural gases, which serve as raw material and fuel for industrial and household use.

"FIRAT" (Firat) produces tubing for gas SDR 11, SDR17 and SDR 17.6 in accordance with ISO 4337 with a diameter of 20 mm. to 315 mm. For the production of tubing used polyethylene PE 80 (color yellow).

Gas transportation is of great vital importance, therefore, "FIRAT" (Firat) provides quality control of raw materials before entering it into production and is undergoing rigorous control of every meter of tubing produced. Infrared measuring systems are available on all production sites, which provides continuous monitoring at every stage of production. After each party produced tubing are tested under laboratory conditions and only after the approval of quality indicators they are allowed to implement and use. Computer files with data on the manufactured tubes are stored and if necessary, can be done again and reverse control.

Connecting tubing shall be made only by means of fittings made from the same material as the tubing elektrofuzionnoy by welding or by welding "butt".

Application of PEX tubing made of polyethylene has undeniable advantages:

* Life longer than metal (warranty 50 years) does not require cathodic protection, and therefore require virtually no maintenance;
* Not afraid of contact with water and harsh environments;
* Polyethylene tubing are 2-4 times lighter than steel;
* 12-meter intervals during installation does not require lifting mechanisms;
* PEX tubing up to diameter 110 mm inclusive bays are available from 100 to 300 meters;
* Butt welding of polyethylene tubing are much cheaper, easier and takes less time;
* PEX joint requires no additional consumables (isolation, electrodes);
* Toxicity and bacteriologic PEX tubing made of polyethylene are safe;
* PEX tubing made of polyethylene is not classified as dangerous goods.
