Natural Gas Distribution Solutions with PE Pipe

At WL Plastics, we are the ideal manufacturer of high-quality medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe and tubing for natural gas distribution. We are equipped with over two decades of experience manufacturing polyethylene pipes with dedicated customer service, quality, and technical teams. WL Plastics has nine (9) ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing facilities strategically located throughout the United States. All production lines are equipped with in-line wall monitoring and inkjet printers capable of applying ASTM F2897 codes. WL Plastics manufactures all natural gas distribution products to strict quality standards with full tracking and traceability.

Both MDPE and HDPE materials offer long-term performance, flexibility, leak-free heat fusion joints, chemical resistance, and ease of installation. All WL Plastics pipes are manufactured and tested to ensure compliance with ASTM D2513, NSF Gas, CSA Z662, and DOT CFR49 Part 192. WL Plastics’ high-performance polyethylene gas pipe meets all fusion requirements per DOT CFR49 Part 192 to all HDPE and MDPE gas distribution pipes and fittings.

MDPE natural gas pipe has been the standard for natural gas distribution, propane, and liquid petroleum gas systems since the 1960s. This solid yellow pipe made from unimodal PE2708 resin is UV protected for outdoor storage for up to 3 years. PE2708 tubing is available in CTS sizes ½ to 1.25 and PE2708 pipe is available in IPS sizes ½ to 4.

While MDPE natural gas pipe is a proven solution, HDPE pipe made from bimodal high-performance PE4710 resin is the future and the ideal piping solution for your natural gas distribution. Because PE4710 has a Hydrostatic Design Basis (HDB) at 73oF that is 22% that of PE2708, it can operate at a higher pressure than PE2708 for a given DR or a higher DR (thinner wall) PE4710 can be used for a given PE2708 operating pressure. Higher DR (thinner wall) translates to cost savings, lighter pipe, and increased flow capacity.

Welcome customers to visit the factory, or third party factory inspection is acceptable.

Bingo pipeline’s high density polyethylene (HDPE) PE4710 pipes or PE100 pipes are the ideal solution for oil & gas gathering applications, due to its leak-free joints, durability, cost-effectiveness, lightweight properties, and its resistance to hydrocarbon permeation. This allows PE4710 pipe or PE100 pipes to last longer than alternative metallic pipe materials without the need for coatings, corrosion prevention treatments and constant repairs. HDPE pipe is inherently resistant to chemical attack and corrosion, which eliminates the risk leakage. The interior of PE4710 pipe or PE100 pipes are smooth which reduces oil and gas ability to build up on the pipe surface over time.

When specifying a polyethylene pipe for oil and gas applications it is critical to specify the qualified materials and to ensure that the pipe is sourced from a manufacturer that has a demonstrated capability to produce pipe that meets or exceeds industry standards. Industry standards require that a PE4710 or PE100 compounds be used in the manufacture of the HDPE pipe.

The use of HDPE piping in oil and gas applications is not new, but has grown dramatically in recent years mainly due to its’ ability to withstand demanding service conditions over a long period of time. That growth has greatly increased the number of end users that may be using HDPE pipe for the first time, or may have limited knowledge about how to specify, inspect, and qualify the HDPE products they use.

Today HDPE, polyamide and advanced spoolable composite piping represent a large portion of the oil & gas gathering market in the worlds.

Bingo HDPE pipe for oil and gas has high impact resistance, even under low temperatures, and is resistant to corrosive chemicals and aggressive soils. It is a flexible product, easy to handle, install and joint fuse due to longer lengths and even surface finish. Other benefits include: corrosion resistance, extreme weather resistance, slow crack growth resistance, abrasion resistance, flexibility for earthquake prone areas, satisfactory fusion joints, and long service life. It could be apt to survive severe ground shifts, especially from earthquakes, when they are made from fused PE pipe joints.

1.Raw Material. Excellent performance of the pipes. HDPE oil and gas pipe is manufactured with 100% virgin PE4710 or PE100 bi-modal resin material that is classified according to the standard ISO 4437/ AS/ NZS 4130/ BS EN 1555/ SANS 8085/ D3350. HDPE (Poly) Piping is the most durable and resilient piping for oil and gas applications.

2.Joint Fuse. HDPE pipe for oil and gas distribution applications can be easily joined through diverse fusion methods, like electro-fusion, socket fusion, butt fusion, among other, at the discretion of the installation company. With proper installation methods, we will provide guaranteed leak free joints for approval.

3.Easy Installation. HDPE Pipe has long laying length, is light weight and highly flexible, adapting to irregular terrain and supporting dynamic loads. This reduces the need for further fitting requirements on directional changes, which in turn facilitates installation and reduces costs.

4.Quality Control. Bingo gas and oil pipe is tested in accordance with the applicable standards and specifications in an in-house accredited laboratory per ISO 17025. Additionally, the quality and performance of oil and gas pipe is tested and complies with extra internal requirements that meet and exceed customer expectations. Bingo pipeline is an ISO 9001:2018 certified company.

5.Long service life. Every pipe is rated to last 50-100 years. Never leaking, never breaking.

6.Weatherability. HDPE pipes for oil and gas contains finely divided carbon black to provide protection against degradation caused by ultraviolet rays from direct sunlight. Carbon black is the most effective single additive for enhancing the weathering characteristics of plastic materials. which is suitable for applications where there is long-term, direct exposure to ultraviolet light. This includes all surface, suspended, and above grade applications.

7.Low cost traceability systems (pipes and fittings) can be used to provide installation records.
