Engineering ToolBox > PE Pipes and Dimensions
Polyethylene - PE - is popular and and commonly used material in water pipes. It is usual to use the PE 50, PEH or PE-HD (polyethylene high density) quality.
PE pipes are produced in different pressure grades - PN grades - indicating the pressure in bars the pipe can support with water at 20 oC.
The pressure grades available according to European standards are
