Why HDPE pipe is one of the most popularly used pipes?

When it comes to piping choices, there are a lot of alternatives one can choose from. However, the big problem might be in selecting the most efficient one and one which works best from the rest. Among all the different varieties of piping options, HDPE pipe might just be the solution for you.

Today, HDPE piping has become one of the most popular piping options. We can see it being used in all the different sectors. HDPE pipe is used in homes, offices, irrigation, and other projects for water supplies and for sewages.

HDPE is a high-density polyethylene material that is durable, flexible, and strong. Overall, it is the perfect piping choice for installation and for long-term use. Also, they are available in both iron pipe sizes and copper tube sizes. The thickness of these pipes also varies from 930 to 970 kg/m3. HDPE material also has a less expanding character. This in return, also gives it a sturdier inter-molecular bond and rigidity.

Here at SB Group, we also provide the finest HDPE pipes in Nepal. One of our member companies, Ram Janki Plastic Industries is a plant specifically established for creating the best HDPE pipe in Nepal. So today, let us look at why we should choose HDPE over other materials. Also, by going through this article, you will have thorough knowledge about why they are in such high demand.

Why Choose HDPE Pipe Over Others?

Here are some of the main reasons why you should consider choosing HDPE over other materials like steel and copper pipes.

Leak-Free

There is no chance of leak as it uses thermal fusion techniques to fit. Hence, they don’t usually have areas where one might need to worry about potential leakages. Even the data and stats from experiments done on HDPE material show that one need not worry about the joints of an HDPE pipe. In Nepal’s case, we all have been victims of water leakage over the years.

This is a problem that we have faced first-hand. However, with the introduction of this piping masterpiece, we finally have a solution. Actually, the joints would become stronger than the actual pipe itself. Hence, with the use of HDPE in piping, the leakage problems that used to arise when using PVC or ductile iron pipes are gone.

Lightweight and Strong

Being super light, these pipes offer a lot of advantages that come with all light substances. They are easy to move, transport carriers, and even to operate on. In addition, these pipes are also very strong and durable, unlike most lightweight substances. These pipes are a lot stronger than you’d expect after checking their weight. They also offer a lot more advantages over other plastic pipes, such as PVC. When working on HDPE material, the workers don’t need to worry at all about the pipes breaking down due to their impressive strength.

Flexibility And Less Fatigue

Along with being light yet sturdy, these are also very much flexible and can resist fatigue. Due to its high flexibility, HDPE pipes can be installed easily in an orderly and attractive manner. Due to this, there is less chance of damage in this pipe than other inflexible pipes that are installed in an unordered fashion.

This piping is also useful for fittings and for cases that require shifting the soil. In addition, these are even more attractive and they are even perfect for earthquake-prone areas like ours. HDPE is also the material whose resistivity to fatigue is extremely higher. Even when used regularly for long periods of time, the pipes will be working just fine and without any complications.

Resistivity Against Chemicals And Anti-Corrosive

A very appealing feature about HDPE pipe is that it can work fine under any circumstances and conditions. In fact, these pipes can also maintain a smooth supply and avoid any damages and spills even when exposed to strong chemicals.

Apart from chemicals, HDPE pipes can also endure all the harsh environmental conditions. You don’t have to worry about corrosion like in the case of steel and copper pipes. Also, it will save your money that would be spent on maintaining pipes from corrosion and other environmental factors.

Easy Installation And Maintenance

A worker will be much happier fitting an HDPE pipe than other types of pipe. Through, thermal fusion, butt welding, electrofusion, and socket welding techniques, one can easily fit these pipes as well and in an organized manner. Additional precautions are not required when working on these pipes, which makes them even more fun to operate on.

The maintenance part is already made easier with HDPE as it requires minimal maintenance in the first place. These pipes can work finely no matter what the environment and other factors throw at them. And in case, if you need to repair it, you can fit the issue easily. This is a big plus point when you look at it from both the manufacturer’s and client’s perspectives.

Economical And Environment-Friendly

Economically speaking, there might not be any other pipe more beneficial than HDPE. These offer a dependable and long-lasting piping solution, unlike anything we have ever seen before. With a life-span ranging from 50 to 100 years, this is definitely a pipe for the long haul. Also, HDPE has the least amount of maintenance required and is applicable in any environment. This makes it the perfect pipe economically no matter how you look at it.

Similarly, HDPE is also considered to be the ‘greenest pipe’ for various piping applications. This is not just sustainable but also a superior piping option to traditional piping. No matter where you use it. Be it commercial or residential areas, HDPE pipe is the one that is most environment friendly. Right from its production stage, HDPE is pro-environment. Also, less energy is required during fitting and it gives no toxins, making the surrounding safe and sound.
