PE water pipes are used to transport liquids, and some are even buried deep underground, so their service life must be guaranteed to prevent any leakage problems. If the pipe is damaged, it will not only cause certain economic losses, but also bring great inconvenience to people's daily lives. So, what causes pipe damage? We need to have a clear understanding so that we can avoid it in the future.
1. The problem with the pipes themselves: The PE pipe market seems quite chaotic now, with uneven quality of PE water pipes produced by various manufacturers. If the water supply pipes and fittings used in the project are not from the same manufacturer, or if the pipes are stored outdoors, it will lead to a deterioration in the quality of the pipes and affect the overall quality of the project.
2. Construction quality issues: The main manifestation is cracking and leakage of welds, mainly due to the failure to clean the welding parts of pipes and fittings in a timely manner during construction, resulting in unstable hot melt bonding caused by water, dust, sand, etc., or inadequate grasp of parameters such as hot melt time and docking pressure.
3. Human factors: If sharp stones are buried during the construction of soil cover, heavy vehicles passing by may cause water leakage; Drilling holes on pipelines to steal water; Pipeline leakage during excavator construction; Bulldozers and other damages can cause water leakage and damage to the water supply pipes.
When the PE water pipe is damaged, everyone needs to analyze the cause as soon as possible so that they can come up with corresponding solutions as soon as possible.
