What are the temperature limits that polyethylene pipe can withstand?
HDPE temperature rating is from -50°F (-46°C) to 180°F (82°C).
HDPE pipes can operate in a wide temperature range, which makes them suitable for a variety of applications. Specifically, the temperature limits that polyethylene pipe can withstand range from -50°F (-46°C) to 180°F (82°C). This broad temperature tolerance allows HDPE pipe to be used effectively in environments subject to extreme cold, as well as moderately high temperatures. The material’s excellent impact strength, superior chemical resistance, and minimal water absorption further enhance its suitability for infrastructure such as water and sewage pipelines, where durability under varying thermal conditions is crucial.
