200mm HDPE Pipe
The 200mm HDPE pipe is a robust and versatile solution for a wide range of applications, from municipal water distribution and industrial fluid transportation to irrigation systems. It offers flexibility in pressure ratings, making it suitable for low, medium, and high-pressure systems. Below is a detailed breakdown of the 200mm HDPE pipe with its pressure ratings and technical characteristics.
Explanation of Pressure Ratings
- 4 kg/cm²: Used in low-pressure systems, such as residential water supply or agricultural irrigation.
- 6-10 kg/cm²: Common for municipal water distribution, drainage, and irrigation systems.
- 12.5-16 kg/cm²: Suitable for applications that require higher pressure, such as industrial or potable water distribution systems, fire-fighting systems, or pressurized pipelines.
20-32 kg/cm²: Typically for industrial-grade systems that transport chemicals, heavy liquids, and high-pressure water, as well as in the oil & gas sector.
Wall Thickness and SDR
The Standard Dimension Ratio (SDR) of the pipe defines the relationship between the pipe’s outer diameter and wall thickness. For higher-pressure applications, a lower SDR is used, resulting in thicker walls.
| SDR Value | Approximate Wall Thickness (for 200mm pipe) |
|---|---|
| SDR 11 | ~ 18.0 mm |
| SDR 17 | ~ 12.0 mm |
- SDR 11: Provides stronger, thicker walls for higher-pressure applications.
- SDR 17: Used for lower pressure systems, offering a more economical option with thinner walls.
Material and Properties
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE): The material used for the 200mm pipe provides several advantageous properties:
Corrosion Resistance: HDPE is highly resistant to corrosion and degradation, which makes it ideal for applications involving aggressive liquids, sewage, and harsh environmental conditions.
Chemical Resistance: It can handle a wide range of chemicals without damage, making it suitable for industries like chemicals, food processing, and pharmaceuticals.
