PE Pipe---A Good Choice for Agricultural Irrigation

(1) What is PE pipe?

Polyethylene pipe, referred to as PE pipe , is a kind of pipe made of polyethylene.

Usually, it can be divided into high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE), each of which has unique properties and usage. HDPE pipe is widely used in engineering because of its superior pressure resistance, corrosion resistance and high strength. LDPE pipes are more suitable for some low-pressure and soft application scenarios, such as drainage pipe systems.

(2) Classification of PE pipes

1. According to the material

High-density polyethylene (HDPE): HDPE pipe has excellent strength and pressure resistance, which is suitable for various water supply, drainage and irrigation systems. Its high strength and corrosion resistance make it an ideal choice.

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE): LDPE pipes are relatively soft and low-strength, and are usually used in some application scenarios with low pressure and high flexibility requirements, such as drip irrigation pipes in small agricultural irrigation systems.

2. According the whether the products is used in the field of water supply or drainage

PE water supply pipe series: used for urban tap water supply, industrial water, farmland irrigation and other water supply systems.

PE drainage pipe series: used for urban drainage, sewage treatment, rainwater collection and farmland drainage and other drainage systems.

(3) Application field of PE pipe

PE pipes have a wide range of applications, mainly including tap water supply, industrial pipelines, urban drainage and sewage treatment systems, and agricultural irrigation systems. In agricultural irrigation, PE pipes are usually used in sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation, irrigation pipes, drainage pipes and other aspects.

(4) Why is PE pipe a good choice for agricultural irrigation applications?

1. What are the recommended pipes in agricultural irrigation?

In the agricultural irrigation system, plastic pipe is mainly used in water source transportation, sprinkler irrigation system, drip irrigation system and farmland drainage. These links require pipes of different diameters and materials to meet different needs.

In the agricultural irrigation system, the recommended pipes are mainly as follows:

PE pipe (high-density polyethylene pipe): HDPE pipe is one of the common and widely used pipes in agricultural irrigation system. It has the advantages of corrosion resistance, pressure resistance, low temperature resistance, etc. It is suitable for various irrigation methods, such as spray irrigation, drip irrigation, etc.

PVC pipe (polyvinyl chloride pipe): PVC pipe is also one of the common agricultural irrigation pipe materials. It has the characteristics of low price, durability and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for irrigation systems of small and medium-sized farmland.

PE pipe (polyethylene pipe): PE pipe is also suitable for agricultural irrigation systems. It has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, pressure resistance, low temperature resistance, etc., and is easy to install and maintain. It is suitable for irrigation needs under various environmental conditions.

Aluminum-plastic composite pipe: Aluminum-plastic composite pipe combines the advantages of aluminum alloy and plastic, has the characteristics of pressure resistance, corrosion resistance, not easy aging, etc., and is suitable for irrigation systems and agricultural water conservancy projects in large farmland.

These pipes have their own advantages and application scenarios in the agricultural irrigation system. It is very important to choose the right pipes according to specific needs and conditions.

2. Characteristics of PE pipes

①Smooth inner lumen. The inner lumen of PE pipe is smooth and clean, with low fluid resistance and no rust. The water regulations are not harsh, no accumulation of masonry.

②Good low temperature resistance. PE polyethylene water supply pipe application temperature range is wide, in -20 ℃ ~ 40 ℃ natural environment can be all normal application.

③Excellent wear resistance. When PE pipes are used as movable branch pipe in agricultural irrigation system, dragging them on ground is not easy to jeopardize the service life of them.

④Unique additive. The unique additive can avoid rodents such as rats and other rodents on the buried pipe destruction.

⑤Good environmental health characteristics. The pipe characteristics of smooth, not harmful to water bodies, not easy to jeopardize the food crops due to non-toxicity, non-pollution.

⑥Excellent aging resistance. long-term light or buried can NOT decrease its performance indicators.

⑦Nice flexibility. Can be bent, coiled, be convenient for storage.

⑧Good corrosion resistance. When transporting water with fertilizer, PE pipe is not only less prone to be corroded but also does not destroy the nutrients in the fertilizer.

⑨Nice chemical resistance, especially against seawater prominence, suitable for marshy land and near bays. It has a strong ability to adapt to soft land, suitable for mariculture and agricultural irrigation.

3. Why PE pipes are a good choice for agricultural irrigation.

Corrosion resistance and pressure resistance: PE pipe has excellent corrosion resistance and pressure resistance, and can adapt to different water quality and pressure conditions.

Environmental protection and safety: PE pipes do not contain harmful substances, do not pollute soil and water quality, meet environmental protection requirements, and ensure the quality and safety of agricultural products.

Economical and practical: PE pipe has good cost performance, relatively low price, and low installation and maintenance costs, which saves costs for farmers and improves economic benefits.
