High Density Polyethylene Pipes and Fittings
Pipes made from polyethylene is a cost effective solution for a broad range of piping problems in municipal, industrial, marine, mining, landfill, duct and agricultural applications. It has been tested and proven effective for above ground, surface, buried, slip lined, floating, and sub-surface marine applications. High-density polyethylene pipe (HDPE) can carry potable water, wastewater, slurries, chemicals, hazardous wastes, and compressed gases. In fact, polyethylene pipe has a long and distinguished history of service to the gas, oil, mining and other industries. It has the lowest repair frequency per mile of pipe per year compared with all other pressure pipe materials used for urban gas distribution. Polyethylene is strong, extremely tough and very durable. Whether you’re looking for long service, trouble-free installation, flexibility, resistance to chemicals or a myriad of other features, high-density polyethylene pipe will meet all your requirements.
Advantages of HDPE Pipes
- Durability
- Leak free
- Creep
- Installation advantages
- Light weight and flexible
- Low pressure loss
- Excellent flow characteristics
- Stress relaxation
- High impact resistance
- Not effected by sea water
- Visco-Elasticity
- It is not possible for plant and tree root to penetrate inside the pipes.
