Applications of UHMWPE pipe are very extensive and it mainly applies to following aspects: 1.Building machinery, agriculture machinery, mining machinery; e.g. liners for silos, hoppers, dump trucks, railcars and chutes. 2.Transporting machinery: sliding guide, guide roll, bushing. 3.Packing, container and tubing: open-type pot, bucket, gasoline tank, gas tube, conveying tube of grain. 4.Pulp and paper industry: doctor blade, suction box cover, filter, chain conveyor plate and dewatering plate. 5.Textile machinery: loom picker, shuttle, stick, strap, cap, buffer, gear, pinion and small roller. 6.Chemical industry: pump impeller, pump housing, valve seats and valve gasket. 7.Medical, macromolecular material: artificial articulation, surgical parts. 8.Sport goods: ski and snowboard bottom surface, snowmobile drive sprocket, golf ball core. 9.Aviation and military: bulletproof vest, aircraft seat. 10.Others: lead-acid battery separator, screen plate of nuclear power plant, fishing rope.

There are two main properties make UHMWPE pipe so durable-extremely high wear resistance and extremely high impact resistance. The most striking characteristic of UHMWPE pipe is ite high wear resistance, which is very precious in many engineering applications. The wear resistance is the best among all the plastics, even much better than many metal materials(for example, carbon steel, stainless steel, brass, etc). UHMWPE pipe's wear resistance is 4-7 times of steel, 10 times of PP and 2.3 times of PE. It is more effective in delivering small particle slurry such as coal ash. The resistance to environmental stress, crack and scratch rank highest among all engineering plastics. The resistance to impact strength is connected with the molecular weight. UHMWPE pipe is 2 times of PC, 5 tims of ABS, over 10 times of PE100 at normal temperature. It is 16 times of PE100 at minus 30°C. Its crack resistance is about 2 times of PE100. The lower the environment temperature is, the stronger the impact resistance is. The resistance to impact is so high that it is difficult to crack by noraml test. Moreover, UHMWPE pipe can also keep excellent impactt resistance under liquid nitrogen temperature(minus 196°C), which is the unique properity in comparision with other plastics. Because of its extraordinary flexibility, UHMWPE pipe can resist considerable external impact and deformation without lining steel pipes. And UHMWPE pipe is safer and more reliable than steel pipe.

1.Extremely High Wear Resistance The most striking characteristic of UHMWPE is its exremely high wear resistnace, which is very precious in many engineering applications. The wear resistance is the best among all the palstics, even much better than many metal materials(for example, carbon steel, stainless steel, brass, etc). Its wear resistance is 4-7 times of steel, 10 times of PP and 2.3 times PE. It is more effective in delivering small particle slurry such as coal ash. 2.Excellent Abrasion Resistance UHMWPE pipes have excellent abrasion resistance providing long life in abrasive slurry applications. 3.Chemical Resistance outstanding resistance to a wide range of chemical reagents allows the use of UHMWPE systems in tailings pipelines and chemical treatment applications used in mining operations. 4.Good Flexibility UHMWPE pipes can be bent to a minimum of 30 times the pipe`s outside diameter for HDPE. This flexibility and resiliency allows the pipe to absorb surge pressures, vibration and stresses caused by soil movement. This makes the pipes particularly useful in submarine pipe lines, mine subsidence and earthquake prone areas. 5.High flow capacity low friction compared with materials such as fibre reinforced cement and resistance to material deposit buildup give UHMWPE pipes long lived high flow capacity. Lower pumping cost due to greater hydraulic capacity as compared with steel and HDPE pipes. 6.Ease of installation UHMWPE pipe is easy to install with light weights and flanged couplings.

UHMWPE composite pipe is made of UHMWPE pipe and carbon steel under the scientific process. Its outer layer is the steel pipe with flange as the the enhanced protective layer, and its inner one is UHMWPE pipe as the matrix pipe. The inner UHMWPE pipe is extended out of the outer layer and cover the flange face into a whole structure, so we can combine UHMWPE pipe and carbon steel pipe to form the pipeline equipments with the features of wear resistance, impact resistance, anti-resistance, resistance to high pressure, self-lubrication, absorbing impact performance, anti-scaling. The pipeline equipments are widely used in the transport of powder and coal ash in thermal power system, backwater pipelines, the transport of mine tailings and slurry in the mining industry, the high-pressure transport of pulverized coal and coal-water slurry in coal preparation plant of the coal industry, as well the transport of mud and corrosive media with slag in other industries. To meet the needs of long distance, high pressure, high wear resistance and anti-adhesion, our company explored and produced multiple specifications of ordinary spiral welded composite pipes and qualified seamless steel composite pipes ranging from 89mm-630mm. These composite pipes are lined with UHMWPE pipes, talking good advantages of UHMWPE pipes' outstanding properties and enhancing capabilities of adapting to high pressure and long distance delivery and qnti-external damage through compositing, which fills in the gap of domestic composite pipes and expands application fields. 1.
