Real revolution of the XXI century was creation of items made of HDP (high-density polyethylene). Thanks to organic chemistry polyethylene items became ideal, economically advantageous and technically perfect alternative to other materials. They facilitated mount, reduced the quantity of joints and increased service life of pipelines.
One of the most important directions in use of polyethylene pipes became gasification. Polyethylene (PE) is durable, strong, gas-tight, electrochemically neutral, it doesn’t afraid of corrosion and it «works» at the temperature range from -60 до +60 °С.
Mounting systems of gas supply, particularly installing gas pipes, there are used connection elements (for curves, branching, to adapt one diameter to another) – FITTINGS. In this article we’ll speak about polyethylene fittings applied in independent gasification.
Professionals from Group of Companies «Terrikom» apply on the objects reliable ElectroFusion fittings from PLASSON Ltd Company (Israel), which is one of the leading suppliers of this kind of connection details on Euroepan market.
