HDPE Steel Wire Mesh Skeleton Composite Pipe: High-Strength Solution for Water and Gas Supply

Steel Wire Skeleton Reinforced PE Composite Pipe combines HDPE’s corrosion resistance with a steel wire mesh for high strength and flexibility, ideal for water, gas, and industrial applications.

The HDPE Steel Wire Mesh Skeleton Composite Pipe (also known as SRTP or Steel Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipe) represents a significant advancement in piping technology. This high-performance composite pipe features a unique three-layer structure: an inner layer of virgin HDPE, a central reinforcement of high-tensile steel wire mesh, and an outer layer of HDPE. This design ingeniously combines the corrosion resistance of plastic with the mechanical strength of steel, creating a pipe suitable for medium and high-pressure applications in water and gas supply networks. It is engineered to deliver a service life exceeding ​50 years, offering a durable and reliable solution for modern infrastructure projects.

Key Advantages

  1. Exceptional Strength and Pressure Resistance: The spirally wound steel wire mesh skeleton provides superior resistance to internal pressure (rated from PN10 to PN25+), external loads, and soil stresses. This high ring stiffness prevents deformation and makes the pipe ideal for deep burial and demanding environments without the need for expensive concrete anchoring

  2. Superior Corrosion and Chemical Resistance: Both the inner and outer layers are made from high-grade HDPE, making the pipe immune to rust, electrolytic corrosion, and a wide range of chemicals and abrasive media. This ensures long-term integrity and purity of the conveyed water or gas

  3. Leak-Proof Joint System: The pipe utilizes ​electrofusion connection​ methods. This creates a monolithic, leak-free joint that is stronger than the pipe itself, ensuring a completely sealed system and preventing resource loss or environmental contamination

  4. Lightweight and Easy Installation: Despite its strength, the pipe is remarkably lightweight (approximately ​1/8 the weight of steel pipes), significantly reducing transportation and installation costs. Its flexibility allows for easier handling and bending around obstacles, speeding up project timelines

  5. Hydraulic Efficiency and Long Service Life: The smooth HDPE inner surface (Manning coefficient: ​0.009) ensures minimal flow resistance, increasing delivery capacity by up to ​30%​​ compared to conventional pipes and reducing pumping energy costs. The pipe is designed for a safe service life of over ​50 years​ under normal conditions
