Product Description

PE pipe floaters are buoyancy devices that provide support for pipes made of polyethylene (PE) in various water applications. These floaters are frequently used in freshwater and marine environments to prevent pipelines from sinking or drifting away due to waves, wind, or currents. They are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a robust and lightweight plastic that can withstand harsh weather conditions and water environments. Typically, they have cylindrical or rectangular shapes with a hollow center that fits over the pipe. The floaters are securely and stably attached to the pipe using straps or clamps.

Product Characteristics:

A. The floating structure is equipped with shock and wave resistance, compact and reasonable structure, easy installation and excellent performance. Being floating materials for mud delivery pipelines on water, it becomes the first choice of dredging customers.

B. Good Toughness, strong environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR), and is appropriate for offshore and lake construction.

C. Light weight, high resistance to wear, convenient to install and transport, and low cost of transportation and transformation.

D. Resistance to corrosion and climate, 3 times more than steel buoy in terms of life span.

E. Easy, fast and flexible assembling diversified modeling.

F. Low price and cost performance are significantly better than that of steel buoy.

G. Being popular with customers because of its consistent quality, novel modeling reasonable price and excellent service.

H. Light weight, big Buoyancy.

I. Resistance to impact, and acid-proof alkaline, anti-corrosive, etc

J. Very low absorption rate

D. Simple installation and low maintenance costs

E. Service temperature range-60°C-80°C 

F. Usually, 2 pieces of floaters are worked for 1 pair, 2 pairs of floaters are worked for 1 group, and 1 group of floaters could float a 6-meter-long steel pipe and a 1.5-meter-long rubber hose.

Applications

PE (polyethylene) pipe floaters are used to provide buoyancy to pipelines that are used in marine or aquatic environments. 

Dredging: PE pipe floaters are used in dredging operations to keep the pipelines afloat as they move sediment from one location to another.

Oil and Gas Industry: PE pipe floaters are used in the oil and gas industry to keep pipelines afloat in offshore drilling and production operations.

Water Treatment: PE pipe floaters are used in water treatment plants to keep pipes afloat in settling ponds and other treatment processes.

Aquaculture: PE pipe floaters are used in aquaculture operations to keep fish cages and nets afloat.

Shoreline Protection: PE pipe floaters are used to help protect shorelines from erosion by creating floating barriers.

Applications

Advantages

The use of PE pipe floaters offers several advantages, including:

Enhanced safety: By keeping the pipes afloat, floaters reduce the risk of damage or accidents caused by the sinking of the pipes.

Cost-effective: PE pipe floaters are relatively cheap and easy to install, making them a cost-effective solution for buoyancy needs.

Versatility: PE pipe floaters can be used in various applications, including dredging, mining, oil and gas, and water transport.

Durability: HDPE material is resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and UV radiation, ensuring the longevity of the floaters.

Overall, PE pipe floaters are a practical and efficient solution for buoyancy needs in water applications, providing safety, cost-effectiveness, versatility, and durability.
