PE PIPELINE

Polyethylene (PE) is a thermoplastic material produced from the polymerization of ethylene. PE plastic pipe is manufactured by extrusion in sizes ranging from ½” to 63″. PE is available in many varieties of wall thicknesses, based on three distinct dimensioning systems:

• Pipe Size Based on Controlled Outside Diameter (DR)
• Iron Pipe Size Inside Diameter, IPS-ID (SIDR)
• Copper Tube Size Outside Diameter (CTS)

PE pipe is available in many forms and colors such as the following-

• Single extrusion colored or black pipe
• Black pipe with coextruded color striping
• Black or natural pipe with a coextruded colored layer
