Why Durability Matters in Underfloor Heating Pipes
Underfloor heating systems are long-term investments that ensure home comfort and energy efficiency. Underfloor heating pipes at the core of these systems, whose durability determines the reliability and performance of the entire system. Countries enforce strict standards for underfloor heating pipes, but not all products are created equal. Menred underfloor heating pipes exceed these standards, offering superior longevity and performance even under challenging conditions.
Global Standards for Pipe Durability (with References)
1. European EN ISO 21003 Standard
Requirements: Pipes must pass an 8760-hour hydrostatic pressure test at 70°C and 1.9MPa pressure.
Purpose: Ensures resistance to high temperatures and pressures over time.
Source: EN ISO 21003 documentation.
2. American ASTM F876/F877 Standard
Requirements: Pipes are tested at 82°C with a pressure of 1.4MPa, designed for a 50-year service life.
Purpose: Emphasizes durability during prolonged high-temperature operation.
Source: ASTM International technical documents.
3. Chinese GB/T 18992-2003 Standard
Requirements: Pipes must pass an 8760-hour hydrostatic pressure test at 95°C and 1.0MPa pressure.
Purpose: Test pipe aging resistance under extreme temperature conditions.
