PN10/16 Corrosion-resistant PPH Male Branch Tee for Pipelines

Product Overview

Manufactured from high-quality polypropylene homopolymer (PPH) through precision injection molding, it offers superior resistance to aggressive chemicals while providing secure branching connections under varying pressure conditions. The male thread design features uniform pitch and depth that ensure tight, leak-free integration into existing pipelines, making it suitable for chemical processing, mining, and wastewater treatment applications where flexibility and durability are critical.

Features

Dual Pressure Rating: Flexibly operates at PN10 (10 bar) for low-pressure applications (e.g., irrigation, dilute chemical transfer) and PN16 (16 bar) for high-pressure systems (e.g., industrial chemical processing), eliminating the need for multiple fitting types.

Chemical Durability: Resists 37% hydrochloric acid, 50% sodium hydroxide, and organic solvents (e.g., acetone, ethanol) through 1,000+ cycles of chemical exposure without measurable degradation, ensuring long-term performance in harsh environments.

Precision Fit: Male threads comply with ISO 7005-1 (metric) and DIN 2501 standards, featuring consistent thread geometry that ensures leak-free connections with minimal torque requirements (25-30 N·m for 2" diameter).

Easy Installation: Compatible with both compression joints (for quick repairs) and socket fusion welding (for permanent installations), reducing labor costs by 25% compared to metal alternatives that require welding or threading equipment.

High Purity: Made from virgin PPH resin with minimal additives, ensuring ion leaching ≤0.1 mg/L — suitable for high-purity chemical applications in pharmaceutical and electronics manufacturing.

Applications

Mining Industry: Transports cyanide solutions (0.1-1% concentration) in gold extraction processes and flotation reagents in mineral processing, withstanding abrasive particle entrainment that would damage metal fittings.

Industrial Chemicals: Handles pickling solutions (hydrochloric, sulfuric acid) in steel mills, extending pipeline lifespan by 3-5 years compared to rubber-lined steel that requires frequent replacement due to wear.

Wastewater Treatment: Used in acid neutralization systems for contaminated soil remediation, resisting pH-adjusting chemicals (e.g., lime slurry, sulfuric acid) during environmental cleanup processes.

Power Generation: Transfers cooling water with high chloride content in thermal power plants, outperforming carbon steel that is susceptible to corrosion in such environments.

FAQ

Q: Can these tees be used in underground pipeline installations?

A: Yes, their inherent UV resistance and moisture immunity make them suitable for buried applications; proper backfilling with sand or gravel (as per ISO 14889) prevents mechanical damage from soil pressure.

Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for PPH in continuous use?

A: It operates reliably from -20°C to 100°C in continuous service, with short-term peaks up to 110°C allowed for intermittent cleaning or process upsets.

Q: Are they certified for use in drinking water systems?

A: Yes, they meet DIN 8078/8077 standards for plastic piping in potable water systems, ensuring compliance with European regulations for material safety and water quality.
