VPL POLETHYLENE PIPES
Pipes made from Polyethylene (PE) is a cost-effective answer for a number of piping problems in Metropolitan, Municipal, Industrial, Underwater, Mining, Landfill, Gas extraction, Cable duct and agricultural applications. It has been tested and proven effective for underground, above ground, surface, under water as well as floating pipe applications. Polyethylene pipes both High Density (HDPE) and Medium Density (MDPE) can carry potable water, wastewater, slurries, chemicals, hazardous wastes, cables and compressed gases as well as oils. Polyethylene pipes have a long and successful service experience to the gas, oil, mining and water utility industries. PE pipes have the lowest repair frequency per kilometer of pipe per year compared with all other pipe materials used for urban water and gas distribution. VPL PE pipes are strong, durable and cost-effective and long lasting. VPL PE pipes will meet all requirements as per relevant standards. VPL Polyethylene pipes systems are solution for Potable Water Supply, Irrigation and Bore-Well applications. HDPE pipes are manufactured from virgin raw material on the state of the art manufacturing facilities. The plant follows stringent quality inspection and testing of inwards raw material, processing and post production. It has fully equipped with Quality Control laboratory managed by qualified personnel. The pipes and fitting are offered in PE 63, PE80 and PE100 grades. VPL HDPE potable water, sewer and industrial pipes are manufactured for use in the municipal & industrial markets.
HDPE
PIPE
VPL HDPE potable water pipe designed for use in the municipal and industrial markets provides and monolithic, corrosion and leak free piping system for transporting potable water and other fluids for industrial applications. HDPE pipe is an excellent choice due to its proven track record of providing longevity and reliability in fluid piping systems. VPL HDPE pipes to these markets are being adopted as the material better technical properties compared to conventional piping materials. VPL services this important market because HDPE pipe provides a leak proof jointing for a reliable water supply and distribution system that saves our precious water resources.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS RANGE
- IS: 4984 – 2016 HDPE Pipes for Potable Water supply Systems.
- IS: 14333-1996 HDPE pipes for sewerage applications.
- IS: 14151 (Part -2) – HDPE pipes for Sprinkler Irrigation Systems.
- IS: 14885 – 2001- Polyethylene Pipes for the Supply of Gaseous Fuels.

FEATURES
- Combination of strength & flexibility HDPE has low notch sensitivity and high tear strength. At the same time, being flexible, HDPE performs well in both surface and under ground applications. It’s unique ability to withstand moderate load bearing capacity enables it to meet almost every installation conditions.
- Ease of jointing makes installation cost is considerably low. Its coiling capability reduces jointing and fitting cost for e.g. Sizes upto 110mm pipe.
- Abrasion resistant HDPE is one of the most significant properties, which enables for use in water pumping in mining areas, dredging, marine outfalls.
- Black HDPE are fairly UV resistance, can safely be stored and installed in non – covered areas.
- HDPE pipes can be joined both mechanically by Flange Joint or Butt Welding method at site with HDPE Couplers/Sockets.
- PRESSURE RATING HDPE pipes are available in a range of pressure ratings from PN 2.5-4-6-8 10-12.5 and 20 (PN stands for Kgf/cm2).
ADVANTAGES OF HDPE PIPES
- HDPE pipes with a history of 60 years of technological developments that have positively influenced and until today has become one of today’s most preferred tube.
- HDPE pipes: They maintain the general properties of the fluid inside.
- HDPE pipes: can safely be used in drinking water systems.
- HDPE pipes: Due to flexibility, HDPE pipes take shape of the natural terrain making on ground installation easy. They are very useful in seismic zones.
- HDPE pipes: welding and assembling methods are very simple.
- HDPE pipes: Easy to carry because of the weight and thus shipping is cheap.
- HDPE pipes: It is highly resistant to acids and alkalis (pH 0-14). They are slightly susceptible to organic chemicals (For chemical resistance please refer IS: 14333).
- HDPE pipes: Environmentally Friendly.
- HDPE pipes: Very good flow properties because of low friction factor.
- HDPE pipes: Strong against growth of microorganisms.
