32mm HDPE Pipe
For 32mm HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) pipes with pressure ratings of 4 kg/cm², 6 kg/cm², 10 kg/cm², 12.5 kg/cm², and 16 kg/cm², the overall concept remains similar to the 25mm pipe, but with some key differences due to the larger diameter. Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
Pressure Ratings Overview
The pressure ratings represent the maximum pressure that the pipe can safely handle in different applications. Higher pressure ratings are used in more demanding situations, with thicker pipe walls and stronger materials.
For 32mm pipes, here’s how the pressure ratings would apply:
4 kg/cm² (Low Pressure):-
Maximum Pressure:Around 392 kPa or 0.392 MPa.
Applications: Suitable for light-duty applications like small residential water lines,
6 kg/cm² (Medium-Low Pressure):-
Maximum Pressure: About 588 kPa or 0.588 MPa.
Applications: Used for residential or small commercial water systems, low-pressure industrial water lines, or medium-scale irrigation.
irrigation systems, or low-pressure drainage systems.
10 kg/cm² (Medium Pressure):-
Maximum Pressure: Around 980 kPa or 0.98 MPa.
Applications: Ideal for medium-pressure water transport, agricultural irrigation, or industrial systems requiring moderate pressure levels.
Applications Based on Pressure Ratings
4 kg/cm²: Light-duty household water systems, small-scale drainage, or irrigation in residential settings.
6 kg/cm²: Used in residential water supply, small commercial buildings, or medium irrigation systems.
10 kg/cm²: Appropriate for irrigation systems, industrial water lines, and chemical transfer systems requiring medium pressure.
12.5 kg/cm²: Typically used for municipal water supply, large agriculture irrigation, or industrial fluid transportation.
16 kg/cm²: Heavy-duty applications such as high-pressure industrial systems, long-distance pipelines, or large-scale municipal water supply systems.
Considerations for Selection
When selecting the appropriate pressure rating for your 32mm HDPE pipe, consider:
Application Needs: Higher pressure is required in applications with longer distances, large flow rates, or heavier fluid transport.
Temperature: Higher temperatures generally reduce the pressure tolerance of HDPE pipes, so you should account for both pressure and temperature when choosing the right pipe.
System Design: Ensure the fittings, connectors, and joints match the pipe’s pressure rating to prevent failures or leaks.
