HDPE Pipe Types
This versatile pipe supports a wide range of applications in energy, industrial, and agricultural markets. Its flexibility and chemical resistance make it suitable for potash production, gas and oil transport, and complex irrigation networks, including drip irrigation for agriculture. HDPE’s resilience against abrasive materials and high pressures also makes it ideal for slurry transport and mining applications.
This PE4710 HDPE variant is produced with the same chemistry as typical PE4710 but is rigorously tested and certified to ensure reliability in critical energy applications like gas distribution and petrochemical transport. With its high tolerance to environmental shifts and seismic activity, DOT-certified HDPE is ideal for high-stakes pipelines that require both durability and compliance with stringent safety standards.
Engineered for long-lasting performance in municipal applications, this HDPE pipe is NSF Standard 61 certified and meets ANSI/AWWA C906 standards with a "CC3" rating, ensuring compliance for potable water and wastewater use. Available in DIPS sizing, this variant is offered in black or color-striped for easy identification. An added chlorine-resistant compound helps extend service life, even in systems with chemical exposure, making it ideal for potable water, wastewater, and stormwater applications.
