POLY JARGON EXPLAINED

The many terms and acronyms associated with Poly Pipe can be confusing,
here Matrix Piping has  explained the jargon for you, to make the
terminologies make a little more sense.
The Different Terminologiesa

HDPE
HDPE is an acronym for High Density Poly Ethylene, which is also referred to
as PE80 and PE100. All Poly Pipes in Australia are now made from HDPE
material. The term HDPE is often used as a name for low-pressure drainage
poly pipe, but technically, the material used is the same as high pressure
pipes.
MDPE
MDPE is an acronym for Medium Density Poly Ethylene, which is also
referred to as PE50 and PE63. In Australia, no pipes are made from these
MDPE materials anymore.
PE100
PE100 is a version of HDPE and stands for Poly Ethylene with an Minimum
Required Strength (MRS) of 100 at 50 years and 20º according to ISO4427.
PE80
PE80 is another version of HDPE and stands for Poly Ethylene with an
Minimum Required Strength (MRS) of 80 at 50 years and 20º according to
ISO4427.
PE
PE stands for Poly Ethylene and is a term that is used to cover all types of
Polyethylene pipes.
Polyethylene
Polyethylene is the name of the material that makes up Poly Pipes, as well as
other items, such as plastic water tanks.
Polythene
Polythene is a synonym for polyethylene, but is not normally used as a term
for Poly Pipes.
SDR rating
The acronym SDR stands for Standard Dimension Ratio. When the outside
diameter of the pipe is divided by the SDR, it gives the thickness of the pipe
wall.
PN rating
The acronym PN stands for Pressure nominal. When a pipe has a rating of
PN16, it is designed to handle an internal pressure of 16 Bar.
