63mm HDPE Pipe
The 63mm HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) pipe is widely used in various fluid transportation systems, including water supply, irrigation, and drainage. The pressure ratings you’ve listed (4 kg/cm², 6 kg/cm², 10 kg/cm², 12.5 kg/cm², 16 kg/cm², 20 kg/cm², 25 kg/cm²) specify the maximum internal pressure the pipe can safely handle under normal conditions. Here’s more detail on each pressure rating and its typical applications:
Pressure Rating Explanation:
4 kg/cm²
- Pressure Level: Low
- Applications: Suitable for low-pressure water distribution systems, such as small-scale irrigation systems, or residential water supply in low-pressure areas.
- Pipe Thickness: Thinner walls compared to higher pressure pipes.
6 kg/cm²
- Pressure Level: Moderate-low
- Applications: Ideal for residential and commercial water supply systems with moderate pressure needs. Can be used for irrigation systems and garden piping in low- to medium-usage areas.
10 kg/cm²
- Pressure Level: Standard
- Applications: Commonly used for general water distribution, such as residential and light commercial systems. Suitable for domestic pipelines and agriculture irrigation projects.
Key Considerations:
Material: HDPE is known for being durable, resistant to corrosion, and capable of handling both pressure and temperature fluctuations, making it a good choice for many types of fluid transport.
Thickness: The wall thickness increases as the pressure rating increases. Higher-pressure pipes require thicker walls to prevent them from bursting under higher internal pressures.
Applications: The pressure class you choose will depend on the type of fluid you are transporting (e.g., water, chemicals), the size of
If you are selecting a pipe for a specific project, you’ll want to ensure the pressure rating aligns with the expected operating pressure of the system.

Standards and Certifications
HDPE pipes typically comply with standards such as:
ISO 4427: This standard covers the specification for polyethylene pipes used for water supply.
ASTM D3035: This standard is common in the U.S. for the specification of polyethylene piping.
PN (Pressure Nominal) Ratings: This defines the pressure capacity of the pipe, with higher PN ratings representing pipes that can handle higher pressures.
