NO CORROSION
HDPE pipes are resistant to all degrees of water hardness as well as chemicals.
They have a high resistance to acids and alkalis in a wide range of concentrations and temperatures.
RESISTANCE TO STRAY CURRENTS
Polyethylene is a very poor electrical conductor, thereby avoiding the risk of perforation of the pipe or fittings caused by stray currents.
LOW PRESSURE DROP
SMARTFLEX™ pipes have reduced pressure losses because their surface is very smooth (roughness = 5,6 x10-6 ft and Hazen-Williams friction factor = 150).
ABRASION RESISTANCE
The high resistance to abrasion of the SMARTFLEX™ system provides high velocity of gasoline circulation without erosion problems.
LIFE
More than 30 years, depending on temperature and working pressure.
