TKP-TR - THE PREMIER TEMPERATURE RESISTANT PIPE
The TKP-TR pipeline is a high-temperature resistant HDPE that is available in bilayer and monolayer options and includes pipes and fittings. One of its main advantages is that it expands the field of the PE pipe up to 180°F and is made of polyethylene pipe that can be subject to temperatures above 140°F, up to 180°F.
The TKP-TR falls within the PE-4710 and PE-100 heat fusion parameters and has a bend radius of 25 times the pipe OD. We offer this pipe type in a range of diameters from 3” to 48”.

PRIMARY APPLICATIONS
● Pipe for the conduction of fluids during the leaching process in mining.
● Tube for the conduction of fluids during bioleaching (bacterial process) in copper mines.
● Transport of hot water in geothermal wells.
● Oil and gas gathering applications.
HOOP STRESS VS TIME
This strength-versus-time graph shows the relation between the European definition of work pressure, based on the MRS (ISO) against the use of the HDB in the American mode (ASTM). The European method is based on longer observation of the behavior against pressure and uses a low safety factor for the definition of work pressure. The definition of the work pressure is the same when comparing the TKP-TR PE100 pipe against PE4710 pert pipes, especially in the critical range above 140°F, when the real work for those pipes starts.
Because of the European origin of the resin, the material is rated PE-100 and is included in the PPI's TR4 with an MRS=10 MPA per ISO-9080.
In accordance with the ISO-10508 standard, the design temperature profile is for:
● 50 years @ 20°C (68°F) ● 40 years @60°C (140°F)
● 10 years @ 80°C (180°F) ● 1 year @ 90°C (194°F)
● 100 hrs. for 100 °C (212°F)
VALUABLE PROPERTIES
General High-Standard Properties:
● Chlorine resistance.
● High-quality water supply.
● Chemical resistance.
● Resistance to crack propagation.
When the application is related to the transport of hot water:
● Chlorine resistance: TKP-TR is qualified with the highest ranking for chlorine resistance (CLASS 5), resisting oxidizing conditions tested with the chlorine resistance test (ASTM F2769 & ASTM F2023).
● High-quality water supply: TKP-TR preserves water purity and quality (taste and odor). Value of 2 of the pipe tested with standard EN1622 @ 140°F with a maximum of 4 in the industry standard.
When the application is related to the transport of industrial and chemical fluids:
● Great resistance against aggressive chemicals: The high temperature resistance of TKP-TR does not interfere with its chemical resistance, which means the pipe has the same resistance as the normal HDPE pipe.
For all applications:
● Resistance of crack propagation: The TKP-TR pipe has more resistance to crack propagation than normal PE-4710 or PE-100 pipes.
