INTRODUCTION
Through a committed, quality focused and comprehensive research program and development,
Shield has become a leader in manufacturing and supply of high quality HDPE piping systems.
Shield HDPE pipes and fittings are manufactured as per ISO and AWWA Standards from its
manufacturing facilities located in Dubai, U.A.E. Products must pass strict quality control
procedures and are routinely checked throughout the production process, from the inspection of
incoming raw materials, to the storage of the finished products to ensure they are fully compliant
with the relevant standards. Continual improvements, innovative production techniques and
review of existing facilities are always carried out without affecting the consistency of the
production process at the factory.
Shield High Density polyethylene pipes and fittings are extremely tough, durable and strong for
long service, trouble free installation, flexibility and offer many other features. Therefore, Shield
HDPE piping system is an effective solution for municipal, industrial, marine, agricultural and fire
fighting applications. Its efficiency has been tested and proven for above ground, surface, buried,
slip lined, floating and sub-surface marine applications.
Shield HDPE is capable of meeting all your piping requirements.

WATER ABSORPTION
MRS-MINIMUM REQUIRED STRENGTH

Polyethylene pipes and fittings materials are
evaluated on the basis of their Minimum Required
Strength.
The MRS value for PE100 compound is 10MPa. PE100

pipe has enhanced toughness, higher permissible
design strength and improved resistance to
rapid crack propagation in addition to benefits
in efficiency and economy. This allows the design
engineers to use PE100 pipes at substantially higher
operating pressures than PE80 pipes with equivalent
SDR rating i.e. allows PE100 pipes to be produced
with thinner walls than PE80 pipes of equivalent
SDR rating.
When PE100 pipes are hydrostatically tested at

20 deg C, ISO 1167 specify a Minimum Required
Strength at 50 years of 10 Mpa (100bar) - MRS100.
When PE80 pipes are hydrostatically tested at
20 deg C, ISO1167 specify a Minimum Required
Strength at 50 years of 8 Mpa (80bar) - MRS80.
DESIGN STRESS & SAFETY FACTOR

Safety factors take into account handling conditions, service conditions and other circumstances not
directly considered in the design. In terms of ISO 4427 the minimum safety factor is 1.25. This factor, when
applied to the Minimum Required Strength (MRS), for the particular material classification (e.g. PE80,
PE100), gives the maximum allowable hydrostatic design stress for the designated material.

PIPE SDR AND PRESSURE RELATIONSHIPS

SDR is the standard dimensional ratio, it is the ratio between the OD (outside diameter)
of the pipe & the wall thickness. Eg:
As per ISO 4427, the SDR of 110mm 16 bar rated PE100 pipe is 110/10 = 11 ie. SDR11
As per ISO 4427, the SDR of 110mm 10 bar rated PE100 pipe is 110/6.6 = 16.66 ie. SDR17
As per ISO 4427, the SDR of 110mm 20 bar rated PE100 pipe is 110/12.3 = 8.94 ie. SDR9

b)Tolerances in accordance with grade V of ISO 11922-1:1997
c)The calculated value of emm (ISO 4085:1998) is rounded up to the nearest value of either 2,0. 2,3 or 3.0. This is to satisfy certain national requirements.
For practical reasons a wall thickness of 3,00 mm is recommended for electrofusion jointing and lining applications.

PIPE SELECTION
Design Engineers choose Shield PE100 piping system, as
the system provides larger bore size because of its lower
wall thickness. Moreover, at the same working pressure,
designers can opt for lower SDR level pipe than in PE80
piping system.

FITTINGS
Shield HDPE system offers electrofusion fittings which are
easy to use and offer high performance along with a rapid,
convenient method of joining with Shield polyethylene
pipes. Their design ensures optimum melt pressure as the
energizing coil of wire is precisely positioned to ensure
uniform melting.
Each fitting displays a bar code label that enables the
automatic Electro fusion control units (ECUs) to scan the
barcode and determine the fusion parameters. Fittings are
offered in PE100 Black or Blue & PE80 Yellow, size up to
400mm, (with larger couplers upto 710mm progressively
available from the production line.)
The Long Spigot range offers a comprehensive choice of
fittings suitable for Butt-Fusion. Products are offered in PE100
Black or Blue & PE80 Yellow.

HDPE PIPING SYSTEM
GAS LINE
GAS LINE
Shield Polyethylene is the right choice for your Gas

application due to its characteristics such as strength,
flexibility, inertness, light weight and ease of maintenance
and installation. Shield HDPE pipes are maintenance
free with a design life of over 50 years under normal
operating conditions.
Shield manufactures HDPE pipes for GAS service as
per ISO4437 standards which undergo rigorous quality
checks throughout the entire production process
to ensure their reliability and effectiveness for gas
transportation.
Shield manufactures gas pipes in a size range of
50mm to 250mm sizes from PE100 material grade. The
preferred series of pipes are SDR11 and SDR17 for gas
applications.
Pipes are available in coils in order to reduce the number
of joints to make a cost effective choice for contractors
and clients. Pipes are also available in straight lengths
of 6 or 12 meters. The jointing can be done by Buttwelding or Electro-fusion jointing methods, providing a
completely homogeneous leak free system.

Where local soil does not provide

the needed support for the HDPE
pipe, heavy thrust blocks or dense
concrete mixes can sink. When a
large thrust block sinks, it creates
excessive bending moment and
failure that we are trying to avoid.
Where good local soil conditions
exist, no thrust block or special
bedding is required. Where local
soil conditions do not provide
needed soil conditions, the use of
geotextile fabrics or stabilized soils
offer another way to provide good
proper support to pipe and fittings
to prevent excessive bending.
