π§± What is an HDPE Perforated Pipe?
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) perforated pipe is a lightweight, flexible, and durable pipe with small holes or slots along its surface. These perforations allow water to enter or exit the pipe, making it ideal for drainage and subsurface water management applications.
βοΈ Key Features
Material: High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
Perforations: Round holes or slotted openings (pattern and size depend on the application)
Length: Commonly 6 m or 12 m sections (can be coiled for smaller diameters)
Diameter Range: Typically 63 mm to 1000 mm
Connection: Butt fusion, electrofusion, or push-fit joints
π§ Common Applications
Subsurface Drainage: Agricultural fields, sports grounds, and golf courses
Stormwater Management: Retaining and channeling runoff
