Introduction
In India, where groundwater access and efficient irrigation systems are critical for agriculture, the choice of piping plays a vital role. HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) pipes are widely used in borewells and agriculture due to their strength, flexibility, and long-lasting performance.
This comprehensive guide will help you understand why HDPE is the best choice, what sizes and variants are ideal for these use cases, and how SBM Gold delivers dependable piping solutions across India’s farming belt.
Why HDPE for Borewells?
Borewell systems demand pipes that can withstand high pressure, resist corrosion, and last for decades underground. HDPE excels in all these areas:
-
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Ideal for deep borewells where the pipe must support its own weight.
-
Corrosion Resistance: No rusting or scaling, even after years of underground exposure.
-
Leak-Proof Fusion Joints: Ensures water is delivered without loss.
-
Non-Toxic and Safe: Suitable for drinking water and agricultural irrigation.
Common Sizes for Borewell Pipes:
-
32mm to 110mm (OD)
-
Pressure ratings: PN 6 to PN 16
Benefits of HDPE Pipes in Agriculture
-
Flexibility: HDPE pipes bend easily, making them perfect for uneven terrain and large farms.
-
UV Resistant: Can be laid above or below ground without degradation.
-
Chemical Resistant: Handles pesticides and fertilizers without damage.
-
Low Maintenance: Once installed, systems rarely need repairs.
-
Cost-Effective Over Time: Long life span reduces replacement costs.
Use Cases:
-
Drip and sprinkler irrigation systems
-
Water conveyance for crops
-
Farm-level storage tanks and water distribution
Installation Tips for Maximum Efficiency
-
Proper Jointing Method: Use butt fusion or compression fittings for leak-free performance.
-
Bedding: Lay pipes on leveled soil to avoid stress fractures.
-
Pressure Rating Selection: Always match PN rating to pump output or pressure head.
-
Avoid Overbending: Maintain the bending radius as per specs to prevent weakening the pipe.
