PE pipe has good flexibility, which makes it have the basic conditions for bending. For small-diameter PE pipe, it can be bent properly by hand at room temperature. The construction staff can use the power of both hands to apply uniform pressure to the PE pipe to slowly bend to the desired angle. However, when bending manually, it must be noted that the bending radius should not be too small, otherwise it is easy to cause pipe flattening or damage. Generally speaking, the bending radius of small-diameter PE pipe should not be less than 5 times the outer diameter of the pipe. For example, in the small water supply and drainage pipe laying of home decoration, the small diameter PE pipe with an outer diameter of 20mm, in the case of meeting the bending radius requirements, the construction personnel can bend it by hand, so that it can smoothly bypass the corners, obstacles, etc., to achieve flexible laying, to meet the needs of indoor pipeline layout.
and large diameter PE pipe due to the large diameter, thick pipe wall, it is difficult to bend by manual force, and it is necessary to use special bending equipment to achieve the appropriate bending effect. Common special equipment such as hydraulic pipe bending machine, which provides strong pressure through the hydraulic system, and cooperates with the mold to bend the large diameter PE pipe. When using a hydraulic pipe bending machine, the construction personnel need to adjust the equipment parameters according to the specifications of the PE pipe and the required bending angle, fix the pipe on the mold, and then start the equipment to make the pipe gradually bend under uniform force. This way can ensure that the internal structure of the large-diameter PE pipe is not damaged during the bending process, maintain good performance, and meet the requirements of large-diameter pipe bending and laying in municipal engineering and large-scale construction projects.
It is worth mentioning that the PE steel wire mesh skeleton pipe, as a special type of PE pipe, can also be bent. It uses high-strength steel wire as the reinforced skeleton, and the inner and outer layers are PE plastic, which not only retains the flexibility of the PE pipe, but also has higher strength and pressure resistance. In practical applications, small-diameter PE steel mesh skeleton pipes can be bent by hand, while large-diameter ones require special equipment. Due to its unique structure, PE steel mesh skeleton pipes can still maintain good pressure bearing capacity after bending, and are often used in scenarios that require high pipeline strength and stability, such as industrial liquid transportation, urban gas transportation, etc.
