Your Leading EPS Pipe Section Manufacturer
Weprofab’s EPS pipe section has good thermal insulation, great shock absorption, excellent temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. It can provide all-around protection for your pipes.
At the same time, our EPS pipe section is also lightweight and easy to construct. So it can be easily transported and installed.
In addition, we can also customize EPS pipe sections with different inner diameters, outer diameters, and lengths according to your needs.
Various Types of EPS Pipe Sections
EPS pipe insulation sections with low density, good waterproofness, and strong thermal insulation are very suitable for chilled water pipes.
The light, high compressive strength, and low elasticity EPS pipe protective section can prevent your pipes from being damaged.
The EPS pipe section composite structure, combined with PVC, concrete, and other materials, has the dual functions of heat and support.
The corrosion-resistant, bending-resistant, and high-pressure-resistant EPS industrial pipe section protective layer is very suitable for corrosive liquid transportation pipelines.
Excellent Properties of Weprofab EPS Pipe Section
Physical properties: Weprofab’s EPS pipe section has a density of only 15-30 kg/m³, a compressive strength of 500 kPa, and can withstand temperatures as low as -50°C. It also has a uniformly closed honeycomb structure that can effectively prevent moisture penetration. Its thermal conductivity is only 0.03-0.04 W/m·K, which can effectively block heat transfer.
Other properties: In addition, Weprofab’s EPS pipe section also has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, anti-biological erosion, anti-aging, easy installation, and recyclability.
Various Applications of Weprofab EPS Pipe Section
Pipeline insulation: Weprofab’s EPS pipe section is very suitable for the insulation layer outside the pipeline due to its good moisture resistance, great thermal insulation, and excellent low-temperature resistance.
Buried pipeline protection: Weprofab’s EPS pipe section is widely used as the protective layer of buried pipelines due to its lightweight, good pressure resistance, and excellent shock absorption.
Chemical and industrial pipelines: Weprofab’s EPS pipe section is often used as the protective layer of pipelines for transporting corrosive chemical liquids due to its good
First, you should remove impurities from the surface of the EPS pipe section. Then, crush it into 5-20 mm particles, and then heat the particles to 200-250°C through an extruder to regenerate particles for the production of low-density plastic products.
You can also use chemical solvents to dissolve the EPS pipe section, and then separate and purify polystyrene for the production of high-value products.
How to produce EPS pipe section?
Step 1: You should use polystyrene beads containing a foaming agent to form pre-foamed beads with a diameter of 2-6 mm by steam heating in a pre-foaming machine.
Step 2: You should perform aging treatment. This step only requires the pre-foamed beads to be placed in a ventilated environment for 4-24 hours, with the temperature controlled at 20-25°C, so that the foaming agent inside the beads is evenly distributed and the elasticity is restored.
Step 3: You should fill the aging beads into the split mold, perform secondary expansion through steam, and melt and bond the beads into shape.
Step 4: You should cool and demold the molded EPS pipe section, and correct the burrs.
How to package and store the EPS pipe section?
Packaging: You can wrap the EPS pipe section with plastic film and seal the seams with tape to prevent water absorption. When transporting in the cold chain, you can combine refrigerants to enhance the insulation performance. You can also fill the packaging box with cardboard to avoid collisions during transportation. You should fix large pipe shells with wooden frames to prevent corner damage. The outer packaging should be marked with warning signs such as “fragile”, “moisture-proof”, “keep away from fire”, and indicate the product specifications.
Storage: You should store EPS pipe sections in a place with a temperature of ≤35°C and a relative humidity of ≤70%, and keep the air circulating. At the same time, you can stack EPS pipe sections horizontally, with each layer not exceeding 1.5 meters in height, and use wooden pallets at the bottom to prevent moisture. In addition, you should keep the EPS pipe section away from open flames, heat sources, and strong oxidants, and equip the storage area with fire-fighting facilities to prevent fire.
