PE100 PIPE known with MRS 10.0 or minimum strength required 10.0 megapascal(Mpa) and HDS 8.0 or hydrostatic design basis 8.0 megapascal (Mpa) in the polyethylene (PE) piping systems.

PE100 HDPE pipe has a higher strain hardening modulus than PE80, suggesting that the former is better in the resistance to deformation. In addition, viscous stress and quasi-static stress of PE100 are higher than those of PE80. However, PE80 has a better resistance to relaxation.

polyethylene pipes with PE 100 grade materials are lighter and more robust than other grades of polyethylene materials and hence is cost effective.

PE100 HDPE pipe has an optimum balance of three key properties: MRS (Minimum Required Strength) provides long-term strength and creep resistance. Stress crack resistance (sometimes referred to as slow crack growth resistance). Rapid crack propagation resistance.

Advantages of PE100 HDPE pipe:

● Better processability and more output and less production costs

● Better flexibility for winding, maintenance and installation of the pipes, ISO 13469

● More resistance against slow crack propagation and high safety factor for the product (SCG test)

● More resistance against rapid crack propagation (RCP test, ISO13469, Version 1996).

● More hydrostatic resistance of PE 100 in comparison with PE 80 (tested based on ISO 1167 standard)

● Better processability
