Geothermal probes PE-X
FRANK GET-X geothermal probes made of peroxide cross-linked polyethylene PE-X for the highest demands on point load resistance and resistance to slow crack growth.
Key Advantages
- Extremely resistant to point loads, notches and slow crack growth
- Manufactured from proven FRANK SurePEX pipes (Engel process, over 2,000 bar)
- Factory-welded probe base
- Well suited to heat storage systems and solar thermal combinations

Product Description
Geothermal probes made of cross-linked polyethylene PE-X offer optimal protection against point loads, slow crack growth and external damage. The FRANK GET-X geothermal probes are manufactured with the proven FRANK SurePEX pipes, made of peroxide cross-linked polyethylene, and a factory-welded probe base.
When SurePEX pipes are manufactured using the Engel process, the molecular chains are cross-linked during extrusion at a pressure of more than 2,000 bar. Because of this homogeneous type of cross-linking, the pipes are resistant to stress cracks.
The GET-X geothermal probe is perfectly suited for use in heat storage systems and in combination with solar thermal energy.

Technical Content
Cross-linking in the Engel process
SurePEX pipes are manufactured using the Engel process, where the molecular chains are cross-linked during extrusion at a pressure of more than 2,000 bar. This homogeneous cross-linking is what makes the pipes resistant to stress cracks.
Point load and notch resistance
The PE-X material offers optimal protection against point loads, slow crack growth and external damage, which makes the GET-X probe suitable for demanding installation conditions and for heat storage applications.
