HDPE Pipes

   plastic parts for smart meters


HDPE Pipes also known as High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Pipes are manufactured all over the world by extrusion technique. Sizing methods still vary but the trend is the pressure sizing i.e. introducing air at the pressure of about 0.8 kg/cm2 to 1 kg/cm2 through one of the spider legs of the dies. HDPE Pipes are generally manufactured on single screw extruder.

HDPE Pipes find application in a variety of fields in India and abroad. The most important applications are as follows:

• Drinking water supply line
• Water lines in hilly areas. Here the property of flexibility of HDPE is exploited to the fullest extent
• Bore wells
• Irrigation lines
• Industrial effluent disposal lines
• Sewage and gas lines
• Fuel gas line
• Mining Industry


PRODUCTS AND ITS APPLICATION
HDPE pipes are used in various applications such as: Sewage pumping mains, Fire mains, Chilled water, Submarine pipe lines, Industrial and chemical applications and HDPE pipes 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.
