HDPE Pipe Characteristics

HDPE pipe offers several unique benefits that other types of pipe can’t duplicate. Thanks to its unique chemical structure and properties, HDPE pipe creates a leak-free system that is resistant to degradation over time and doesn’t react negatively to typical environmental factors. Some of the most beneficial characteristics of HDPE pipe include:

Durability

HDPE pipe is built to last. Even in adverse environmental conditions—including aboveground, underground and marine applications—HDPE pipe maintains its characteristic resistance to chemical and abrasion damage. Customers use HDPE pipe to transport a wide range of medium in their systems including potable water, wastewater, acidic solutions, natural gas, saltwater slurry and others. Neither the transported fluids inside the pipe nor the environmental conditions outside the pipe pose a risk to the integrity of the HDPE pipe.

WL Plastics HDPE pipe is durable enough to withstand high-pressure applications and extreme temperature fluctuations. HDPE pipe is the ideal solution for earthquake resistance, seismic activities, vibration, and soil movement in buried applications.

Cost-Effectiveness

WL Plastics HDPE pipe reduces our customer’s spending on transportation due to its longer standard cut length, lightweight properties and WL Plastic manufacturing locations’ proximity to worksites nationwide. HDPE pipe also utilizes heat fusion joining that requires no additional couplers, gaskets or fittings to join pipe together. Due to HDPE pipe’s durability and simplicity, system managers don’t have to worry about the costs of frequent repairs or section replacements. WL Plastics HDPE pipe is a cost-effective material for large-scale networks of piping systems.

Joining Capabilities

The primary joining technique used with HDPE pipe is heat fusion. This leak-free joining technique creates a monolithic pipe system where the joints are as strong as the pipe itself providing a piping system that is built to last. Not only does this improve the overall system performance, but it also increases the safety to the surrounding environment by reducing the risk of leaked medium. When performed correctly, heat fusion joints won’t leak and will drastically reduce operational costs for your piping system over its lifetime.

WL Plastics HDPE pipe can alternatively be joined together via mechanical connections such as flanges, mechanical joints, couplers, and others.

Corrosion Resistance

WL Plastics HDPE pipe will not corrode, tuberculate, or support biological growth. HDPE pipe has a C-Factor of 150 for the design life of the pipe, unlike metallic pipes which will suffer inside diameter constriction overtime. The inside diameter of HDPE pipe will not change over time providing consistent flows with no increase to pumping energy.
