KPS Introduces New High Flow 6" Conductive High Density Polyethylene Double Wall Piping System

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Jan. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- KPS, part of OPW and Dover (NYSE: DOV), announced the launch of the world's first 6" (160/200mm) conductive High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) double wall piping system. This new system has been designed to combine KPS' industry-leading safety and installer-friendly qualities with a high flow rate of up to 2,500 liters per minute to meet demand from applications including depots, fuel distribution, ports, mining, rail and data centers.

This innovative conductive system consists of a 160mm primary pipe and a 200mm secondary pipe, providing an extra layer of protection and enabling interstitial monitoring. The system is approved to EN 14125, ATEX 137, EN 13463-1 as well as many other country and fuel-specific standards, and is suitable for sensitive liquids like fuel and chemicals including petrol, diesel, biodiesel, ethanol blends, AdBlue, Jet-A1, alcohols, acids and other chemical products.

Like all KPS piping, the new 6" system is engineered for installers to reduce cost and build time. The complete range of fitting and components for the new 6" conductive double wall pipe system is electrofusion welded, with no butt welds needed, and the range is supported by the KPS technical team, including training and certification.
