PE100 grade held the largest share in the High Density Polyethylene Pipes Market in 2019. PE 100 Polyethylene raw materials are used in drinking water pipelines, desalination plants, biological treatment plants, swimming pool piping, sea discharge lines, gravity flow water lines, gas stations, irrigation lines, compressed air lines, cooling-heating lines, pre-insulated sheathing for pipes. The main difference between PE80 and PE100 is that PE100 is more economical than PE80. PE100 offers additional long-term strength and performance over PE80 while allowing for thinner pipe walls for the same operating pressure. PE100 uses less polymer and provides for a larger bore and increased flow capacity. PE100 pipes are often rated SDR11 PN16 and have a MRS of 10.0MPa. PE80 and PE100 products are not recommended for continuous pressure operation at temperatures above 60°C for liquids, including sewerage and industrial effluents, or 30°C for gaseous fluids. PE100 has advantages over PE80 at low temperatures since it is extremely crack resistant down to -30°C.
Small Diameter Pipes (up to 15 Inches) held the largest share in the High Density Polyethylene Pipes Market in 2019. Small diameter pipes include HDPE pipes up to 15 inches. Small diameter HDPE pipes can provide lower cost and alleviate problems with today’s older and failing pipeline infrastructure. As it is an excellent choice for replacing the oversized pipe with a smaller diameter which can greatly improve carrying capacity. Waster distribution systems consist of either force mains or gravity sewers. The first relies on applied pressure heads induced by water pumps to generate flow in the pipes. The second relies on gravity to allow for water flows. In smaller diameter pipes force mains tend to be smaller since the applied pressure can cause high-flow velocities even in less pressure in small diameter pipes. Small diameter pipes make it possible to perform extensive municipal water, sewer, and industrial pipe repairs rapidly while causing minimal disturbances. Small diameter pipes are widely used in housing units and irrigation.
High pressure rating held the largest share in the High Density Polyethylene Pipes Market in 2019. HDPE Pipes are classified by pressure rating (PN) corresponding to the maximum permissible working pressure. HDPE Pipes are produced at different work pressures (PN), and this work pressure (PN) is tolerable for pipes at temperatures of 20 °C. This temperature is best for polyethylene pipes. Various types of pipes have different PN grades and also different wall thickness, which is why the strength, power and flexibility of pipes are varied. Hence, the higher the PN, the greater the thickness of polyethylene pipe. In addition, color codes are used to indicate pressure ratings such as yellow for PN4, red for PN6, blue for PN10, and Green for PN16. High pressure rating pipe includes PN greater than 10 bar. Medium pressure rating pipe includes PN up to 6 bar. Whereas, low pressure rating pipe includes max pressure up to and below 4 bar.
Potable Water Sector held the largest share in the High Density Polyethylene Pipes Market in 2019 and is expected to rise at a CAGR of 5.0% in terms of revenue during the forecast period from 2020-2025. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) solid wall pipe has been used in applications for potable water and has been gaining municipal approval and development. For potable water, HDPE was initially limited to cold water service applications, as early formulations were not strong enough for the high temperatures of hot water systems. In use in potable water applications, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe has become the ideal material for piping systems used to transport drinking water. As a tough and resilient material capable of lasting 100 years or more with minimal maintenance, HDPE pipe has proven to be superior to many other piping materials as a means transporting and distributing potable water.
