PE-EL PE80 ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE PRESSURE PIPE SDR11

The SIMONA PE80 PE-EL antistatic pressure pipe is a high-quality piping solution made from medium-density polyethylene (PE80) with integrated electrostatic conductivity (PE-EL). Specifically engineered for use in environments where the risk of electrostatic discharge must be minimized, this pipe type is ideal for the safe transport of combustible liquids, gases, and powders. The antistatic properties are achieved through the incorporation of conductive additives into the material, ensuring reliable discharge of static electricity and reducing the risk of ignition in explosive atmospheres.

Thanks to its excellent chemical resistance, high impact strength, and low weight, the PE80 PE-EL pipe offers superior performance and durability in demanding industrial applications. It conforms to relevant standards for pressure piping and is suitable for use in both underground and above-ground installations.

SIMONA PE80 PE-EL pressure pipes can be joined using several standard methods, including:

• Electrofusion welding, which provides a strong, leak-tight connection through heating embedded resistive wires in electrofusion fittings.
• Butt welding, which joins pipe ends by heating and fusing them under pressure, creating a seamless and permanent joint.

Proper earthing must be ensured when installing antistatic PE-EL piping systems to maintain electrostatic conductivity throughout the network.

Applications:

This antistatic pressure pipe is commonly used in industries such as:

• Chemical and petrochemical plants
• Fuel distribution systems
• Mining operations
• Dust extraction and pneumatic conveying systems
• Explosive atmosphere zones (ATEX-rated areas)
