An Irrigation sprinkler (also known as a water sprinkler or simply a sprinkler) is a device used for agricultural crops, lawns, landscapes, golf courses, and other areas. The water is distributed through a network that may consist of pumps, valves, pipes, and sprinklers. Lateral Pipes or Tube for Sprinkler irrigation are the pipes or tubes that are located between your on/off valve and the sprinkler heads. Sprinkler Irrigation systems can be used in all kinds of weather conditions suitable for irrigated agriculture, but they are predominantly used in regions where rainfall is untimely, seasonal or scarce.
Our HDPE sprinkler irrigation pipes are manufactured to ensure:
-
Maximum water saving
-
Combining high quality
-
Affordability
-
Ease of installation
-
High strength
-
Chemical resistance
-
Functional satisfaction
Optimum water pressure is ideal for the uniform distribution of sprinkler water.
Frictional losses along the pipelines are deducted to obtain the net residual pressure at the outlet point.
Why HDPE pipes over PVC pipes for Sprinkler irrigation?
LEAKAGE
Even the best installed PVC irrigation systems experience leakage at fitting and valve locations. With the butt-fusion technique for HDPE fittings and valves, the pipe and fittings become one monolithic unit, which eliminates leaky joints. This saves water and electrical costs as it eliminates pump cycling to maintain pressurization.
PIPE FATIGUE FACTOR
Over time, the pressure the PVC pipe can handle is reduced from its originally manufactured pressure rating. There is no such derating for HDPE pipe. The lifespan of PVC pipe is 25 to 30 years; HDPE pipe’s is more than 50 years.
GOING GREEN
Various Government bodies have expressed concerns about PVC at various seminars and would like to see its usage drop from the irrigation industry. HDPE pipe, being a 100 percent recyclable product is the best replacement for PVC pipes.
FLEXIBILITY
A larger diameter PVC pipe cannot be deflected (bent) more than 5 degrees. HDPE pipe has a bend radius of 25 times the diameter of the pipe with no detrimental effect to the pipe. This eliminates many of the fittings and thrust blocks required for PVC pipe installation, which in turn, reduces the number of potential main line breaks.
