What is HDPE Pipe Uses and Specification

HDPE pipe is a special kind of flexible rigid plastic pipe used for gas and liquid transport and is frequently employed to replace expensive concrete or steel pipes. Made from the synthetic thermoplastics HDPE, its superior strength and high degree of molecular bond make it ideal for high-pressure pipelines used in mines, chemical plants, power plants and oil rigs. Its durability, resilience and cost-effectiveness make this pipe an excellent choice for pipeline applications. Since its discovery in the 1970s, the thousands of employees employed by pipeline manufacturers have largely benefited from HDPE pipe’s superior properties.

The most commonly seen application of HDPE pipe is in construction and building projects. Since the pipes are durable and dependable in both hot and cold environments, they can be utilized in huge amounts. As an alternative to concrete, they also offer a more flexible option for handling corrosive or flammable liquids. HDPE pipe is especially suited for handling both hot and cold liquids and since its flexibility gives it better handling capacity, it is also useful in handling corrosive chemicals, such as oils and acids. Because of these reasons, the use of hdpe pipes has increased significantly across a wide range of industries.

 

With regards to the handling of acidic chemicals, most industries utilize the so-called potable water system that is composed of HDPE pipe and other plastics. This type of system is widely used in residential communities, municipal facilities and industries. The use of this system allows the transport of acidic chemicals without posing any danger to the environment. Due to the fact that it is flexible and durable, the raw material used to manufacture this type of plumbing is comparatively inexpensive and easily available.

 

Apart from being used in handling acidic chemicals, HDPE pipe is also widely used in the elimination of various contaminants. Leachates are known for causing several health hazards. They may cause skin rashes, irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. HDPE pipe is highly resistant to water contamination and since it can withstand high temperatures, it is commonly used in areas where the water level is low. It is also suitable for use in heating systems and for domestic use.

 

HDPE pipe is manufactured from high quality, durable and resistant materials and it is therefore considered as the best choice for plumbing. In order to help make sure that the materials do not fall apart due to exposure to water, stringent quality control measures are in place at the manufacturing facility. An expert team from the hdpe water pipe institute is present during the manufacturing process. The pipes are handpicked for their resistance to water and other contaminants before leaving the plant. These pipes are then fitted with high quality and durable sealing materials, so that they are well protected during transportation. Once in the delivery site, they are subjected to intense testing by state-of-the-art labs to ensure that they pass all tests.

The quality and performance of the plastics pipe is superior to that of any other material. Since it is resistant to hydrostatic pressure, it proves itself useful in handling even highly stressed out situations. It is also effective in fighting against heavy rain and extreme temperatures and this is one of the reasons why it is used in hot water applications as well. The pipes do not react with any kind of acidic compound and this makes it the perfect material in removing heavy metals such as iron and cadmium from contaminated soil. This quality makes it a preferred choice for underground storage.
