TUBOMART's Expertise in PEX-AL-PEX Gas Piping Systems
At TUBOMART, we specialize in manufacturing and supplying advanced piping solutions for various industries, including gas distribution. Among our flagship products is the PEX-AL-PEX multilayer composite pipe, a proven and reliable choice for modern gas systems. Combining safety, durability, and efficiency, our PEX-AL-PEX pipes meet international standards and are trusted by professionals around the world.
What is PEX-AL-PEX?
PEX-AL-PEX stands for Cross-linked Polyethylene - Aluminum - Cross-linked Polyethylene. It is a five-layer composite pipe engineered for enhanced performance. The structure includes:
1. Inner Layer: Cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) for chemical resistance and smooth gas flow.
2. Adhesive Layer
3. Middle Layer: Aluminum core that provides strength and acts as an oxygen and gas barrier.
4. Adhesive Layer
5. Outer Layer: Cross-linked polyethylene for UV resistance and protection from external damage.
This design combines the flexibility of plastic with the strength and dimensional stability of metal, making it ideal for gas piping systems in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments.
Why Use PEX-AL-PEX for Gas?
1. Safety and Durability
TUBOMART's PEX-AL-PEX pipes are manufactured to meet strict gas safety standards such as ISO 17484, EN 15266, and other local certifications. The aluminum layer ensures high pressure resistance and prevents gas permeation, while the PEX layers provide corrosion resistance and long-term durability.
2. Flexibility with Form Stability
Unlike rigid metal pipes, PEX-AL-PEX can be easily bent by hand or with simple tools, reducing the need for multiple fittings and joints. The aluminum layer ensures the pipe holds its shape once bent, which simplifies installation and improves safety.
3. Easy and Fast Installation
The reduced number of fittings means fewer potential leak points. TUBOMART also offers a full range of compatible press and compression fittings specifically designed for gas systems, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection every time.
4. Thermal and Chemical Resistance
PEX-AL-PEX is resistant to temperature fluctuations and most chemicals encountered in gas environments. It does not corrode or scale, ensuring a longer lifespan compared to traditional metal pipes.
5. Cost-Efficiency
With faster installation, fewer fittings, and low maintenance requirements, PEX-AL-PEX systems can significantly reduce labor and long-term operating costs.
Applications
TUBOMART PEX-AL-PEX pipes are suitable for:
