Smooth Pipes for Industrial Applications

Smooth pipes crafted from high-performance plastics are indispensable components in many industrial systems. Their rigidity, durability, and chemical resistance make them ideal for a wide range of stationary applications. Manufactured using materials such as PVC, PE, PUR, PA, ETFE, FEP, PTFE, or PFA, these pipes are engineered to meet stringent demands and excel in various industrial environments.

Applications of Smooth Pipes

Smooth pipes are designed for use in scenarios where stability, longevity, and resistance to harsh conditions are paramount. Unlike flexible hoses or corrugated pipes, smooth pipes are tailored for fixed installations and static applications. Below are the primary use cases:

1. Stationary Media Conduits in Industrial Systems

Smooth pipes are widely used in industries for transporting liquids and gases. In sectors such as chemical processing, food and beverage production, and pharmaceuticals, these pipes ensure the safe conveyance of aggressive or sensitive media. Materials like PTFE, PFA, or FEP are particularly suited for handling corrosive chemicals due to their exceptional resistance to corrosion and high temperatures.

• Advantage: Smooth interior surfaces minimize flow resistance and prevent deposits.

2. Protection of Cables and Lines

In stationary setups, such as in automation systems or machinery, they serve as protective conduits for fixed cables and lines. They shield these components from mechanical damage, chemicals, and moisture.

• Advantage: Durable and reliable protection, even in demanding environments.

3. Technical Piping for Specialized Applications

Smooth pipes are indispensable in technical piping systems, whether used as pressure pipes for industrial fluids or insulation pipes in thermal or electrical systems. Materials such as ETFE or PA are ideal for applications requiring UV resistance and mechanical strength.

• Advantage: Robust and versatile solutions for specialized industrial needs.

High-Quality Materials and Their Properties

Choosing the right material is crucial for the performance and longevity of smooth pipes. Below is an overview of the most common materials, listed in order of their value:

• PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Cost-effective and weather-resistant, suitable for general applications.
• PE (Polyethylene): Chemically resistant and ideal for liquid or gas transport systems.
• PUR (Polyurethane): Highly resistant to mechanical stress and abrasion, making it robust for demanding applications.
• PA (Polyamide): Offers rigidity and abrasion resistance and is suitable for mechanically demanding scenarios.
• ETFE (Ethylenetetrafluoroethylene): Durable, UV-resistant, and suitable for outdoor use.
• FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene): Chemically stable and flexible, suitable for handling aggressive media.
• PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene): Exceptional resistance to temperature and chemicals, perfect for extreme conditions.
• PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy): The highest-grade material, providing unparalleled chemical resistance and high temperatures for the most demanding applications.
