In today’s piping industry, engineers, workers, users and environmentalists all have come to the conclusion that HDPE pipe is the superior choice when compared to all other types of pipes. HDPE pipes is the one if you are looking to develop a truly durable and environment friendly system. From its low energy footprint, to its ease of use, to superior joint integrity, it has countless benefits. Also, it provides both short term and long term economic advantages, which is why there is no other material that can match the versatility and performance of HDPE pipes. There are various types of HDPE pipes available according to their use. Most popular types are HDPE solid wall, HDPE corrugated & slotted and perforated HDPE pipes.
HDPE pipes has proven to be the piping choice for many industrial and non-industrial applications due to its conductivity, impressive strength, durability, flexibility, anti-corrosive and resistivity towards chemicals. As they come with sustainability, service life and effective lifetime costs, these pipes offer tremendous value to the users. Today, let’s take a closer look at perforated HDPE pipes.
What are perforated HDPE pipes?
Perforated pipes are used in solid waste storage facilities. Slotted pipes that are made from HDPE materials are used more popularly than those made from other materials. Especially, the big problem arises in such systems when accumulated garbage in the bottom of the storage cannot be removed. This causes difficulty in water flow and the piping system does not work smoothly. Perforated HDPE pipes have been used as an effective solution in these cases. As impact resistance is needed for pipes used for this purpose, HDPE pipes with high resistivity is used.
The perforated HDPE pipes, perforated corrugated pipes and PVC pipes including 3-Type in the form of drainage pipes are produced. These pipes are produced according to the operation and task in hand and also according to the raw materials to be used for their construction. All the tests are also conducted by the plastic pipe manufacturers before they are supplied to the customers. The checks are made and all the specifications and standards are met before they are supplied for use. These type of HDPE pipes are perforated at certain intervals depending on the customer’s needs and request for holes in the pipes. Leaking pipes are perforated and they are produced in such a way which accomplishes the needs of the landfill to determine the strength of the test and the controls are also determined.
Perforated HDPE pipes are effective when used in various types of areas. These pipes offer an effective piping system when used in muddy land. It is also an effective choice for use in agriculture sector. Perforated pipes can be used much more effectively to remove unnecessary water from the land. Similarly, it is also a preferred option for banquette drainage of the highways. Also, these pipes have also been successfully used in preservation of foundations of buildings and construction sites.
What benefits can be got by using perforated HDPE pipes?
Perforated pipes are chronological, and with all its technological developments, these pipes have influenced positively. And today, these pipes have become one of the most widely and popularly preferred pipes. They offer superior chemical and physical properties when compared to other pipes. Because of this, perforated HDPE pipes have become a perfect solution for use in various types of applications. Its use in storage systems and solid waste systems are perfect examples of how this pipe can be used most effectively. Perforated pipes are also very easy to carry as they don’t weigh much. Due to the lightweight feature, makes these pipes easier to work and operate on. It is also a cost effective piping solution as comparatively, less investment needs to be made in its installation and in labor payments.
However, proper checking and inspection should be carried out before implementing perforated pipes. During the installation, the pipes should be placed properly and the pipes should be prevented from cracks and breakages. These pipes must also be protected against any kind of friction during their installation and also during its use. HDPE perforated pipes come with a smooth exterior surface, which also provides high resistivity against chemicals and is anti-corrosive. Because of its smooth surface, the viscosity is also very high.
The HDPE materials used in making these perforated pipes is very strong. Due to the use of high density polyethylene, perforated HDPE pipes are sturdy and holds the capacity to withstand large amount of loads. Along with being strong, these pipes also have a very high compressive strength. This makes them applicable for use in underground applications. HDPE pipes also don’t allow microorganisms to develop in the system. This allows the piping system to work smoothly without getting troubled by any chemical and biochemical effects.
Application principles of perforated HDPE pipes
Drainage: A drainage layer for collection and disposal of the water flow is leaked from the membrane permeable tubes comprises to a tube.
Drain Layer: Shedding filtering is enabled and the infiltrated water collected by permeable layer.
Protection Layer: Sealing the floor is the layer that is used to avoid loss and damage. This layer is responsible for protecting the pipes from getting any damages, hence avoiding any unwanted losses.
Perforated HDPE pipes, when used without protection, are affected by UV rays. Hence, physical and chemical protection needs to be given to ensure they perform at the best. During the production, all 2-3% of carbon black is avoided by cutting off between the UV inputs. Hence, there is no difficulty in using them in open air and exposed to sunlight and rays. However, additional coating can be used for protection while using in underground work.
There are several external factors that may affect the service life of perforated HDPE pipes. Pipe temperature, pressure and fluid properties needs to be maintained. Even the chemical structure of the soil needs to be checked before using the pipes. The tube’s life may vary with the chemical bonds with the HDPE material.
