PE80 has been widely used for gas, water and industrial applications for many years and is most commonly named MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene). However, PE80 could also be HDPE (High Density Polyethylene).
PE pipes can be used in range of temperatures -40 oC to 60 oC considering the change of operating pressure. Typically the standard specification identify class of a HDPE pipe is by the nominal pressure class - PN - up to PN 20 or 20 bar. HDPE pipe can also be classified by the material used - PE 100, PE 80, PE63, PE 40 or PE 32.
PE100 refers to a grade of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material.PE stands for polyethylene, and the number 100 represents the material's minimum tensile strength of 10 MPa, indicating that the material has excellent mechanical properties and durability.PE100 is one of the most common and widely used HDPE materials on the market today.
HDPE stub flanges are used in piping as part of a fitting for the purpose of redirecting or changing pipes diameter. They are usually produced during the process of casting machinery components and molding.

PE 100-RC materials have become an essential and well established sub-family of PE 100 compounds. They have a higher stress crack resistance and hence less risk of failure due to damage during installation or due to point loads after installation. This in turn has facilitated the greater use of trenchless technology installation methods, which have a reduced environmental impact.
First, you need to understand what PE stands for in HDPE pipe. Normally, we can classify HDPE pipe based on two standards: Nominal Pressure (PN) and the grade of materials being used to produce the pi
