PE100 LONG SEGMENT WELDED CROSS, PE100/SDR17

The segment-welded cross in PE100 is a robust and reliable solution for installations that require high strength and tightness. This cross is made from PE100, a high-quality polyethylene material that provides excellent resistance to both mechanical and chemical influences. The crosses are supplied as standard in SDR17 and are completely black, which gives them high resistance to UV radiation, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations.

The cross is segment-welded, meaning it is composed of segments that are welded together to create a strong and tight connection between the four pipe sections. This welding method ensures high precision and durability, making the cross perfect for both pressure pipelines and other applications.

With a safety factor of 0.5, the segment-welded cross in SDR17 is designed to withstand a maximum pressure of 5 bar, making it ideal for many pressurized systems where both stability and safety are critical.

The most commonly used assembly techniques are:

• Butt fusion welding: A method where pipes and fittings are melted together under high heat, creating a strong and tight joint. This is the primary method for assembling segment-welded fittings.
• Electrofusion welding: Can be used to join pipes and fittings with an integrated electrofusion function. This method provides a tight and reliable connection without the need for additional gaskets or seals.
•  

There is also the option for custom orders with adjustments such as bead removal and color change, allowing the cross to be tailored to specific requirements and installations.
