MDPE Pipes for Gas
Gamson manufactures high-performance Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE) Pipes specifically designed for the secure and efficient conveyance of natural gas and other gaseous fuels. These pipes are engineered to meet stringent safety standards, offering a reliable, leak-proof, and corrosion-resistant solution for modern gas distribution networks. With a high resistance to slow crack growth and environmental stress, Gamson MDPE pipes ensure a long service life, often exceeding 50 years in underground applications.
Key Features
- Enhanced Safety: Designed with a high safety factor to handle gas pressure safely, typically color-coded in Yellow (PE 80) or Orange (PE 100) for immediate identification in the field.
- Exceptional Flexibility: The pipe's natural ductility allows it to be supplied in long coils, minimizing the number of joints and making it easy to install around obstacles or in narrow trenches.
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Completely immune to rust and galvanic corrosion, as well as the chemical effects of odorants and condensates typically found in gas systems.
- Low Permeability: Specially formulated to provide a very low rate of gas permeation, ensuring the integrity of the transported fuel and reducing environmental impact.
- Crack Resistance: Offers high resistance to both rapid and slow crack propagation, protecting the pipeline against mechanical damage and ground movement.
- Seamless Jointing: Compatible with electrofusion and butt-welding techniques, creating a homogeneous, fused system that is stronger than the pipe itself.
