Price of polyethylene fittings

Price list of polyethylene fittings

Calculating the price of polyethylene fittings is a bit complicated than the price of polyethylene pipe. Based on variety in type and model, polyethylene fittings have different prices. It should be noted that all the effective factors affecting the price of polyethylene prices and specifically polyethylene raw materials do also affect the price of polyethylene fittings and hence it is recommended to read the texts about daily price of polyethylene pipes.

Polyethylene fittings play an important role in polyethylene pipelines and most of the defects and failures in polyethylene pipelines occur in fittings. Therefore, put the ultimate effort and accuracy in manufacturing the polyethylene fittings since it could affect the performance of the entire line.

The price list of polyethylene fittings includes the price for the following fittings:

• Price of injective fittings
• Price of customized and mitering fittings
• Price of electrofusion fittings
• Price of double wall corrugated fittings
• Price of twisting fittings
• Price of sewage fittings

Note that purchasing cheap and especially too cheap products does not equal buying a high quality and suitable product. For polyethylene products, the price for the polyethylene fittings must not be less than polyethylene materials, because it is specifically emphasized in all standards that fresh raw materials must be used.

In the following lines the polyethylene fittings and the method for determining the price of fittings is explained:

Price of injective fittings:

The injective fittings are the cheapest amongst polyethylene fittings which are used for usual and low pressure applications. The injective fittings are usually made with ordinary and not necessarily good polyethylene material (Iranian and recycled materials) and their production process is capable of comprising defects and disorder in their texture. The price list for polyethylene fittings is available and they are produced by the seller based on a predetermined scheme and depot in the warehouses, and hence they are easier to supply and more stable in price.

Price of electrofusion fittings

The price of electrofusion fittings is directly affected by the foreign currency and varies the most in the price list of polyethylene fittings. The price of these fittings depends on foreign currency since most of its high quality and big size variants are imported. The electrofusion fittings produced in Iran, suffer from the same problem as the injective fittings, including numerous problems regarding production process and raw material with poor quality. It is recommended that imported electrofusion fittings from known brands with international standards would be used. The price of electrofusion fittings is relatively higher that other types of fittings and if such price difference is too much for the project or the contractee (if possible and approved by the project consultant) it is recommended to use mitering fittings which have more suitable price and nonetheless, do not degrade quality of the pipeline. Anyway, the price provided in the price list of electrofusion fittings is affected by these factors: price of the raw material, transit price, release and inner customs fees, legal affairs price and the fee taken by the ports and the country of origin, loading and unloading costs at the ports of country of origin and at the ports of Iran, overhead costs.

Price of double wall corrugated fittings

Double wall corrugated pipes are produced upon request and in single wall pipes like mitering fittings and they are produced from the same pipes produced by the hydraulic and programmed machinery. The price of corrugated pipe fittings is directly affected by the price of double wall corrugated pipes and also the welding period and stages affect the fittings’ price as well.

Price of twisting polyethylene fittings

Twisting fittings are relatively cheap due to their application in small sizes and low working pressures. These fittings are mostly used for irrigation systems in agricultural lands and gardens in high numbers. The twisting polyethylene fittings are produced via injection and in Iran not high quality and grade one materials are usually used to produce them. You have to notice the brand and records of the manufacturing factory. These fittings are abundantly found in the Miscellaneous markets of the county and you need to ask for authenticity certificates of the products. the price of polyethylene fittings in the price list of polyethylene fittings and any polyethylene product shall not be less than price of polyethylene materials in the stock market.

Price of sewage fittings

Double wall sewage fittings are being increasingly used by development of urban sewage networks in big cities. These fittings are produced via injection and in corrugated and single wall form. These fittings are either expensive or cheap, since they are used underground and for sewages, colored masterbatch (pigment and filler) is added to the raw materials which has no proper quality and lots of unreliable and profiteer people produce and supply such fittings. The price of sewage fittings could act as your guide in determining and discriminating the good products from the inferior.
