HDPE pipes and fittings have a high degree of corrosion resistance, are light in weight. Yet tough and durable, have excellent, hydraulic properties, excellent thermal properties, weather ability. High density polyethylene (HDPE) is being used as drainage pipe material because it is lightweight, corrosion resistant, easy to install, and has a low maintenance cost. The design of HDPE corrugated drainage pipe is based on the assumption that the pipe will deform and thus relieve stress. Consequently, ductility is an essential parameter to accommodate allowable deflection during the pipe’s service life.
These HDPE pipes and fittings have a high degree of corrosion resistance, are light in weight. Yet tough and durable, have excellent, hydraulic properties, excellent thermal properties, weather ability. HDPE pipe has been used for decades in non-potable water applications. In particular, HDPE pipes are often preferred for their welded joints. While special equipment is required to form the weld, welding eliminates the need for separate fittings, a common source of leaks and contaminant infiltration.
The India PVC Pipes Market size was valued at $3,159 million in 2016 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 10.2% to reach $6,224 million by 2023. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the third largest selling plastic commodity after polyethylene & polypropylene. Indian plastic pipe market looks attractive with opportunities in the potable water supply, wastewater supply, agriculture, and chemical sector. The Indian plastic pipe market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 10.4% from 2016 to 2021. HDPE pipe, as well as film and blow moulding grades of desired specifications are produced at stand-alone units, while HDPE/linear low density PE (LLDPE) swing units produce other HDPE variety, according to producers.
