HDPE Pipe
HDPE Pipes (High-Density Polyethylene Pipes) are highly durable, flexible, and corrosion-resistant thermoplastic piping solutions widely used for fluid and gas transfer in industrial, municipal, and agricultural applications. Known for their excellent strength-to-density ratio, HDPE pipes offer reliable and long-lasting performance, even under high-pressure and harsh environmental conditions. They are especially suited for underground piping systems and trenchless installation methods due to their high impact resistance and flexibility.
HDPE pipes are available in a wide range of sizes, pressure ratings, and coil or straight lengths, and they conform to national and international standards like IS 4984, ISO 4427, and ASTM D3035.
Key Features of HDPE Pipe
High Chemical Resistance – Suitable for aggressive fluids, acids, and alkalis.
Flexible & Lightweight – Easy to handle, transport, and install, even over long distances.
Corrosion & Abrasion Resistant – No rusting, scaling, or pitting compared to metal pipes.
Leak-Free Joints – Fusion welding ensures strong and tight connections.
UV and Weather Resistant – Designed to withstand outdoor exposure without degradation.
Smooth Internal Surface – Reduces friction losses and improves flow efficiency.
Long Service Life – Can last over 50 years under normal conditions.
Environmentally Friendly – Non-toxic and recyclable material.

HDPE PIPE FITTINGS
HDPE Electro Fusion Fittings
Electrofusion fittings are specialized HDPE components designed with embedded electric heating elements that, when energized, melt and fuse the fitting to the pipe surface. This technique provides a secure, leak-proof, and durable joint, making it ideal for high-pressure and critical pipeline applications. Electrofusion is especially preferred when working in confined spaces, where using large butt fusion equipment is impractical.
HDPE Butt Fusion Fittings
Butt fusion fittings are one of the most reliable and widely used types of HDPE pipe fittings. These fittings are joined using a butt fusion welding process, which involves heating the ends of both the pipe and the fitting to a precise temperature (typically around 200–220°C), then pressing them together under controlled pressure until they fuse into a single continuous piece. This results in a permanent, seamless, and high-integrity joint.
