Replacement of a HDPE Pipe for a Pexgol Pipe

The Challenge

The client decided to replace their current HDPE pipe lines which transported compressed air at 60°C to 71°C / 140° F to 159.8°F.

The reason for replacing the HDPE pipes was serious leaks on the thermo-fusion joints.

As one possible reason for these failures, the client pointed out that the maximum allowed temperature of the HDPE pipes was just up to 45°C / 113°F.

Pexgol Solution

In order to solve this problem, Saucito Mine decided to replace their HDPE pipes for Pexgol pipes.

Beside their high temperatures resistance up to 110°C / 230°F, Pexgol pipes are not connected by thermo-fusion joints. They are supplied in 600 meters long sections with very few connections.

The installation was fast and efficient and no sophisticated tools were necessary.
