I need help figuring out how to connect a steel wire mesh reinforced polyethylene composite pipe to a flow meter with a carbon steel flange
Thread Content
We are the supplier of flow meters, and since matching flanges are required, the pipe material is steel mesh reinforced polyethylene composite pipe; we seek advice from experts
The question is, what are you seeking help with? \ud83d\ude34\ud83d\ude34\ud83d\ude34
There are two methods for connecting steel mesh reinforced polyethylene composite pipes: electrothermal fusion welding and flange connection. It is possible to require that the end of the steel mesh reinforced polyethylene composite pipe connected to the flow meter use a flange connection; you can provide the corresponding flanges
You supply flanges with the pipe already attached; such flanges are integrated with the pipe, and they are rarely fabricated on-site – they are mostly prefabricated. If you insist on having it provided, have the design institute come up with specific specifications.

For pipes made of steel mesh reinforced polyethylene composite material, the internal heating element in the fittings is used to melt the outer plastic layer of the pipe together with the inner plastic layer of the fitting, thereby ensuring a secure connection between the pipe and the fitting. For swaged flanges used in pipeline flange connections, the requirements regarding material, specifications, standards, etc. must be specified. Reference can be made to the standards for plastic (polyethylene) composite pipes and fittings with wire mesh reinforcement: China National Standard for Urban Construction CJ/T 189--2007
