Medium Density Polyethylene (PE) pipe was proven for Gas distribution in early 1960. PE pipe has proven its capabilities for gas distribution as many of the systems currently in use have been in continuous service since inception.The uses of polyethylene as piping material being liked by users in recent years as it offers advantages in costs as well as technical requirements such as lower permeation of gas constituents lack of corrosion effects flexibility of material relining operation of old gas lines

Today more than 70% of the pipe installed for natural gas distribution in Europe US and other part of the world is polyethylene. In fact PE has become the material of choice for gas distribution worldwide.

Design engineers assume that PE piping networks will provide safe and reliable service for more than a design targeted life of 50 years. The industry is approaching that 50-year milestone of use.
