Harsha HDPE Pipes is a proven performer in the industrial, municipal, agricultural/irrigation, mining pipe markets. Engineered for gravity flow systems and also pumping mains a wide range of PE (HDPE/MDPE) pipe designs are available to meet specific standard and project requirements.
Characteristics and properties of PE pipes include the following:
Strength
The inherent flexibility of the PE pipe provides this product with its inherent minimum pipe stiffness of 320 kPa or 210 kPa. The smooth inner wall provides longitudinal stiffness which enables alignment and grade to be maintained in the trench during installation.
Impact Resistance
PE pipes take the knocks and bumps of handling, moving in installation with ease. As the Combination of non-brittleness of PE and its unique Properties makes PE pipe capable of sustaining impact in both warm weather usage and cold weather installations.
UV Resistance
PE pipe contains a minimum of 2% carbon black additive to protect the product from ultraviolet light. This gives PE pipe maximum weather resistance in applications where continuous exposure to the elements is expected.
Chemical Resistance
PE has the highest level of chemical resistance of all traditional sewer products. PE pipe brings the gravity flow sewer market the same exceptional performance remaining tough and resistant under conditions that could seriously damage pipe made of other conventional materials.
Recommended pH Range
PE material provides excellent resistance to both acidic and alkaline environments with strong acids through all bases, ranging pH 1.25 to 14.
Abrasion Resistance
Tests indicate that PE pipe is highly resistant to abrasion, giving it a significant advantage over other pipe materials in both acidic and abrasive environments.
