Industrial Pipe
Leak free HDPE industrial pipe for fluid and
solid transfer finds use in a wide range of
industrial and civil infrastructure applications.
HDPE plastic pipe is the preferred pipe for
industrial applications because of its high gravity
flow rates which will increase capacity rates,
lower pumping costs and reduce stoppages.
Polyethylene pressure pipe is the perfect solution
for those industrial applications that feature high
flow rates and extremely harsh conditions. Its
light weight, flexibility and durability was
specifically designed for processes where
corrosion resistance, high pressures and material
temperatures are major factors.
What is Industrial Pipe?
Industrial pipe covers a broad category of fluid
and solid transport hardware used in process,
energy, mining, construction, and many civil
infrastructure applications for the transfer of
solids and liquids. It is usually configured with
straight sections connected by fittings or custom
designed connections and joints. Frequently used
in pressurized applications, HDPE industrial pipe
comes in a range of sizes and wall thickness to
match the required design pressure.
Selecting Industrial Pipe
Industrial pipe can be manufactured from a wide
variety of materials including: ABS, brass,
bronze, graphite, HDPE, polypropylene (PP),
PVC, etc. In selecting a piping material for the
particular application, special consideration must
be given to pressure ratings and temperatures. The
pressure
rating (maximum service design
pressure) is dependent on three things: the
strength of the material from which the pipe is
made, the thickness of the pipe, the temperature of
the pipe in application. The pressure rating of
HDPE is the maximum pressure that water in the
pipe can exert continuously with a high degree of
