HDPE Double Wall Piping

EN 14125, ATEX 137
& EN 13463-1 Approved

No leaks, no permeation

Engineered for all current liquid fuels, KPS’ electrofusion piping is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and includes a permeation layer for extra security. For sensitive areas and fluids like fuel transfer, KPS’ double wall (secondary contained) electrofusion piping system provides an extra layer of protection. All double wall KPS bends and electrofusion fittings have an interstitial space to contain any leakage from the primary pipe and are tested to EN 14125.

Trusted on forecourts globally

Specified and installed by oil companies around the globe since 1996, with expertise in engineering plastics dating back to 1950, KPS is leading the development of plastic piping for sensitive liquids like fuel and chemicals.

Engineered for fast, easy installation

From the start, KPS has focused on 2 key features: making fluid flow safely, and easy installation. Today we’re proud to say that KPS’ electrofusion double wall fittings are the only system on the market to weld both pipe walls simultaneously, with no butt welds needed.

Pipe structure

Mechanical and physical properties

The KPS piping range is tested and approved according to EN 14125. Hydrostatic pressure testing is performed at 23°C and after conditioning at 50°C. At 23°C pipework is pressurised to the lower test pressure for 5 min and the higher test pressure for 1 min, see table (below). After conditioning at 50°C pipework is pressurised to the lower test pressure for 5 min. Vacuum testing is performed on pipes intended for vacuum suction including vent, vapour recovery and secondary containment type C2. Test vacuum is specified in table. Pipework is also (for positive pressure) subjected to cyclic pressure testing at 21.5°C. Pressure is varied between 1.0 and 4.0 bar for 1.5 × 106 cycles.
