PE carat pipe is an important engineering pipeline material, and its performance maintenance is closely related to the correct storage method. Improper storage will not only lead to the deformation and aging of the pipe, but also may affect the quality and service life of the engineering construction. This article will systematically introduce the professional storage method of PE carat pipe after procurement, focusing on four key points to avoid pipe damage.
First of all, the choice of storage site is crucial. The ideal storage site should be flat and solid, well drained, away from chemical pollutants and sharp objects. The site should be hardened to prevent moisture infiltration from the ground and cause the pipe to get damp. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the site has enough bearing capacity to avoid the deformation of the pipe due to ground subsidence.
Secondly, the scientific stacking method is the key to protect the pipe. PE carat pipes should be stacked in layers and staggered. Each layer is separated by wooden squares or special spacers. The spacing of spacers should not exceed 1.5 meters. The stacking height should not exceed 2 meters to avoid excessive pressure on the underlying pipes. Pipes with different diameters should be stacked in categories. Mixed stacking is strictly prohibited to cause uneven stress.
Third, perfect protective measures are indispensable. When pipes are stored outdoors, they must be fully covered with a shading net or a rain cloth to avoid direct sunlight and rain erosion. It is particularly important to note that PE materials are sensitive to ultraviolet rays. Long-term exposure to sunlight will accelerate aging and affect service life. At the same time, fire prevention measures should be taken and necessary fire equipment should be equipped.
Finally, standardized safety management is an important guarantee. The storage area should be set with obvious safety warning signs to keep the passage open. Regularly check the stacking status of the pipe, find abnormal timely adjustment. When accessing the pipe, special lifting equipment should be used, and it is strictly forbidden to throw or drag to avoid mechanical damage.
Through the strict implementation of the above four points, it can ensure that the PE carat pipe maintains a good performance state during storage and lays a solid foundation for subsequent engineering construction. The correct storage method can not only avoid unnecessary economic losses, but also prolong the service life of the pipe and ensure the reliability of engineering quality. It is recommended that the user unit establish a sound storage management system and regularly conduct professional training for the management personnel.
