Pexline Working Pressure
As stipulated in ISO 10508, the lifetime of PE-X pipe is 50 years and longer according to permissible working pressure / temperature.
Pexline PN 16 PE-X Pipe
| Temperature | Pressure | |
|---|---|---|
| ºC | kPa | P.S.I. |
| 20 | 1600 | 232 |
| 40 | 1480 | 214 |
| 60 | 1280 | 186 |
| 80 | 1050 | 152 |
*NOTE: These pressures are maximum for each temperature level and should not be exceeded.
Pexline PE-X pipe has a recommended maximum long term operating temperature of 90°C and is not recommended for applications where the continuous operating temperature may exceed this limit.
Buteline will not guarantee its PE-X pipe and fittings system where long term operating may exceed 90°C.
Buteline recommends that a suitable pressure limiting valve is installed on the inlet side of the property to ensure water pressure does not exceed pipe pressure limits.
