Gain Practical Knowledge About HDPE and PP Pipe Production
Understand which pipe types are produced from HDPE and PP, which raw materials are used in practice, and how a plastic pipe extrusion line is structured.
This course is the first part of a specialist training series dedicated to plastic pipe extrusion. It provides the foundation for further learning about process parameters, 3- and 5-layer pipes, quality control, and solving production problems.
Who is this course for?
This course is designed for:
- pipe extrusion line operators,
- process technologists,
- quality control staff,
- in-house laboratory staff,
- shift leaders and production managers,
- new employees being introduced to pipe production,
- companies producing HDPE and PP pipes that want to standardize technical knowledge within their teams.
What will you learn?
The course covers:
- HDPE and PP pipe types - smooth-wall, pressure, sewage, flexible, corrugated, and drainage pipes,
- PE and PP grades used in pipe production,
- key raw material properties and quality indicators,
- MFI - Melt Flow Index,
- SCG - Slow Crack Growth resistance,
- RCP - Rapid Crack Propagation,
- selection of virgin raw material and regranulate,
- influence of raw material moisture on pipe extrusion,
- differences between single-screw and twin-screw extruders,
- main components of a plastic pipe extrusion line.
What will you gain after completing the course?
After completing this course, you will:
- better understand the specifics of HDPE and PP pipe production,
- interpret differences between raw materials more accurately,
- understand why raw material properties influence the extrusion process,
- better understand basic pipe quality requirements,
- communicate more effectively with production, technology, and quality control teams,
- gain a solid foundation for the next courses in the series.
