Here we OrientFlex offer you 4 tips to distinguish ultra high molecular weight PE pipe.
Weighting method
The density of authentic ultra high molecular weight PE is between 0.93-0.95. Thus you can weight the pipe to check if it’s the authentic one. Besides, we can put the pipe into the water. We know that the density of water is 1, thus if the pipe flow on the water surface, it’s the authentic one. But if it sink in the bottom, it will be the fake one.
Boundary survey
The flange end of authentic ultra high molecular weight PE pipe is mellow, even and smooth. Whereas there will be crack on the flange end of unauthentic pipe. What’s more, when flange after heating, there will be dregs falling.
Temperature test
The authentic ultra high molecular weight PE pipe will be soft at 200℃. But it will never distort and melt. While the unauthentic PE pipe will distort.
Appearance
The authentic PE pipe is smooth, even in density and bright in color. But the unauthentic one is dark in color with an uneven density.
