hdpe pipe sizes and dimensions

polyethylene pipe sizes or Dimensions - Sizes and dimensions of pipes and tubes, and their fittings - inside and outside diameter, weight and more

PE100 can be manufactured in a wide range of pipe diameters from 16mm to 2000mm. Even larger diameters are possible with the development of appropriate extrusion dies. However the common range of pipe sizes is from 32mm to 1200mm.

Nominal diameter of a PE100 pipe is its external diameter, not its internal bore diameter.

Polyethylene - PE - is popular material and and commonly used as water pipes in the PE 50, PEH or PE-HD (PolyEthylene High Density) qualities.

PE pipes are produced in different pressure grades - PN grades - indicating the pressure in bars the pipe supports with water at 20 oC.

Standard diameters in this range are:

The internal bore diameter for each of these sizes will depend on the SDR of the pipe. Non-standard pipe sizes can be manufactured for specific applications if necessary.

Pressure grades according to European standards:

• PN 2.5 - max pressure 2.5 bar
• PN 4 - max pressure 4 bar
• PN 6  - max pressure 6 bar
• PN 10  - max pressure 10 bar
• PN 16  - max pressure 16 bar

• 1 bar = 105 Pa (N/m2) = 0.1 N/mm2 = 10.197 kp/m2 = 10.20 m H2O = 0.9869 atm = 14.50 psi (lbf/in2) = 106dyn/cm2 = 750 mmHg
