HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) pipes are a type of plastic pipe made from a thermoplastic polymer. They are known for their durability and high resistance to chemical and environmental stressors. They are commonly used in a variety of applications, including Water supply and distribution, sewage and drainage systems, Gas distribution, Underground fire mains, Communication ducts as well as Mining and industrial applications.
The reason these pipes have such a wide range of uses is due to the various advantages this kind of pipe provides. Some advantages of HDPE Pipes are that they are flexible, yet durable and resistant to damage along with a long service life and are resistant to corrosion. They are lightweight, which make them easy to handle and transport and can be made in a variety of sizes and pressure ratings to suit different applications. They are resistant to leaks and joint failure, and are also resistant to most chemicals and can be used in aggressive environments.
HDPE pipes are coiled to make them easier to transport and store. Coiling the pipes reduces their size and allows them to be loaded onto trucks or shipping containers more efficiently. Additionally, coiling the pipes allows for more flexible deployment, as they can be easily unrolled and laid out on site as needed. This is more convenient than trying to transport long, straight sections of pipe, which can be difficult to handle and may be more susceptible to damage. Overall, coiling HDPE pipes is a more efficient and practical way to handle and transport these materials.
