An HDPE pipe is a form of flexible plastic pipe that is commonly used to replace aged concrete or steel mains pipes used for liquid and gas transfers. Its high level of impermeability and strong molecular bond make it suited for high pressure pipes. It is made of the thermoplastic HDPE (high-density polyethylene). Water mains, gas mains, sewage mains, slurry transfer lines, rural irrigation, fire system supply lines, electrical and communications conduit and stormwater and drainage pipes are all applications for HDPE pipe.
Benefits:
Polyethylene's toughness and chemical resistance, as well as its corrosion resistance and low weight, have led to its increasing use in circumstances requiring cost-effective and long-lasting fluid and gas pipe systems. "PE piping has been used for water and other fluids in Europe and America since the 1950s due to its durability, leak-free joints, corrosion resistance, and long-term cost-effectiveness," according to a news statement from the Plastics Pipe Institute.
Butt welding, electrofusion welding, socket welding, and extrusion welding can all be used to connect HDPE pipe. These connections heat the pipe during the joining process, resulting in a totally homogenous weld that is as strong as or stronger than the existing pipe on either side of the weld. There is no need for rubber seals or jointing chemicals, which pose environmental health hazards and increase the likelihood of failure over time when connecting PVC pipe. PE is less prone to suffer root incursion issues and provides pipeline integrity even when placed in unstable soils.
Although HDPE pipe is commonly projected to last 50 years, it is more likely that it will survive 100 years. The Plastic Pipe Institute (PPI) and PIPA (Plastics Industry Pipe Association) have published technical white papers on HDPE design life. The PIPA report is titled "Life Expectancy for Plastic Pipes," and it states that due to the fifty-year stress regression data, many incorrectly believe that the life expectancy of plastic pipe systems is just fifty years. In fact, these pipe systems may be anticipated to survive for 100 years or more.
HDPE Pipe made of polyethylene covers a wide range of piping applications in industrial, marine, mining, and agricultural fields. It has been tested and proven practical and durable in above ground surface, underground, floating, and subsurface marine applications. High-density polyethylene pipes (HPDE) can carry potable water, wastewater, chemicals, and compressed gases.

The PE raw material:
It has three generations that started early in 1950 with PE32 & PE63 as 1st generation, 2nd generation, is PE80, and the last & 3rd generation is PE100 early in 1990 which has high performance and economical solution for different applications (drinking water, sewage, natural gas,etc.) to solve problems in other traditional pipes. The main difference between PE80 & PE100 (both PE80 and PE100 is high density polyethylene).
