Introduction

PE water pipe are widely use in various water supply systems due to their durability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. Proper packaging and transportation are crucial to ensure their quality and safety during transit. This article outlines the industry standards for packaging and transporting PE water pipes.

Packaging Guidelines

To protect PE water pipes from damage during transportation, packaging should adhere to strict guidelines. Pipes should be separat by size and type, with DN25 and smaller pipes bundled together, each bundle not exceeding 50kg in weight. Non-metallic ropes should be used for bundl and lifting to prevent scratches. For fittings, separate boxes with non-metallic fasteners are recommended to ensure no damage occurs during handling.

Transportation Precautions

When transporting PE water pipe, utmost care must be taken to avoid impacts, drops, and exposure to harsh conditions. Pipes should be place on flat, padded vehicles or ship holds, with no sharp edges nearby. Non-metallic ties secure the pipes, and sunshades or waterproof covers should be use to protect against exposure to sunlight and rain.

Stacking and Storage Requirements

Proper stacking and storage are essential to maintain the integrity of PE pipes. Pipes should be stored horizontally on even supports, with a minimum width of 75mm and spacing not exceeding 1m to 1.5m. The overhang at each end should not exceed 0.5m, and the total stack height should not surpass 1.5m. For fittings, they should be stored in seale plastic bags and placed in sturdy cardboard boxes, avoiding stacking too high.

Environmental Considerations

PE pipes are sensitive to extreme temperatures and chemical exposure. They should be store in well-ventilated warehouses or sheds, with temperatures maintained between -5°C and 40°C. Outdoor storage, if necessary, must be covere and kept at least 1 meter away from heat sources. Direct sunlight, rain, and contact with oil, acids, alkalis, salts, or reactive chemicals should be strictly avoided.

Duration of Storage

The recommended storage period for PE water pipes from production to installation should not exceed one year. Prolonged storage can lead to degradation of material properties, affecting the pipes’ performance.

Conclusion

Adhering to these packaging and transportation guidelines ensures that PE water pipes arrive at their destination in optimal condition. Proper handling, stacking, and storage practices not only protect the pipes but also prolong their service life. By following these industry standards, manufacturers, distributors, and installers can guarantee reliable water supply systems for their customers.
