HDPE Pipe
HDPE Pipes for Water Supply (IS:4984:1995).
The most commonly used application of HDPE Pipes globally is conveyance of potable water. The Central Public Health Engineering Research Institute, Nagpur and the Ministry of Health, Govt. of India had long back certified the use of HDPE Pipes for conveyance of drinking water. HDPE pipes are non toxic and do not impart any foul taste or smell to the water that is conveyed through it. The Central Public Health Engineering Research Institute, Nagpur in its report ISI No. BDC 3: 8/tâ1, dated 12th September, 1967 had confirmed that there is no greater bacterial growth in plastic pipes compared to piping of any other material. Further the Ministry of Health, Govt. of India had issued a letter no. 15â 05/66 PHE dated 20th August, 1968 to all State Governments recommending the use of HDPE pipes for drinking water transportation, especially in view of the scarcity of indigenous metals e.g. brass and zinc required for manufacturing fittings and for the galvanization of iron pipes which makes metal pipes prohibitively expensive. Vertx poly pipes manufactures these pipes starting from
DN 20mm and upto DN 250mm. Vertx has focused on achieving and providing a full proof, healthy and economic solution to common piping.
