Non-standard polyethylene pipe

Non-standard polyethylene pipe, grade 2 polyethylene pipe or cable polyethylene pipe The terms mentioned are the letters that some brokers put on their waste and non-standard polyethylene pipe and it is not worth buying at all and its seller and manufacturer with this Working and giving such names is intended to deceive you. Since there is no specific criterion for the production of non-standard polyethylene pipes and there is no special monitoring tool to measure the quality of this type of pipes, so it is produced with very, very low quality that should not be included in the consumption cycle. The use of non-standard and poor quality polyethylene pipes is not only inefficient in the process of transferring agricultural water and saving water consumption and maintaining water reserves, but ultimately, the farmer suffers damage.

Non-standard polyethylene pipe material

Non-standard polyethylene pipe materials are obtained from the process of crushing and melting various municipal plastic wastes. Therefore, if it is a combination of plastic waste such as bottles, fuel containers, freezer bags and plastic baskets, due to the different melting points, an uncoordinated composition is created, which prevents the production pipes from welding to each other during installation. Or break during loading or unloading.

Poor performance of non-standard polyethylene pipes in water transfer

If the water transfer polyethylene pipes and fittings are not of good quality, it will cause many bursts in the pipeline route and will have many repairs in the future. The service life of non-standard polyethylene pipes is very short, and because the inner surface of these pipes has small imperfections, it causes pressure drop along the way, and the pipe wears out over time, several years earlier than it should have happened. Dozens of other negative effects that are hidden from our eyes (because the pipe is underground).

Non-standard polyethylene pipe weight

Manufacturers of such pipes increase the thickness of the pipe to increase the quality of the pipe, and it is not possible to say exactly which weight table they follow, and this in turn causes the inner diameter of the pipe to be reduced, so less volume of water in the pipe path. There is flow and less water flow and less efficiency.

Vulnerability of non-standard polyethylene pipe to ultraviolet radiation

Most of the energetic solar radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere (ozone layer), but some of the radiation penetrates the range of -280-200 nm (ultraviolet) to the Earth’s surface. As a result, the energy of this radiation is 72 to 100 kcal, which is enough to break covalent bonds. This phenomenon makes the tubes of organic polymers brittle, which do not have UV stabilizers. The structure of standard polyethylene pipes has a stabilizer against ultraviolet radiation and absorbs UV radiation and as a screening agent prevents the effect of ultraviolet radiation on the structure of the pipe. Non-standard polyethylene pipes are vulnerable to sunlight due to the lack of excellent (virgin) raw materials and stabilizers, and their use for pressurized irrigation in tropical areas where the pipe is under direct sunlight is not recommended.

Closing remarks…

Be very careful before preparing and buying your polyethylene pipe, because if you buy it wrong, the pipes may be of relatively poor quality, which will cause you serious problems over time or during installation and execution. Spend more money to change the purchased pipes.

No polyethylene pipe is unreasonably cheap, and such pipes, which are available in the market as non-standard polyethylene pipe, second-class polyethylene pipe (electric polyethylene pipe) with various warranties and without warranty with different brands, are offered by profiteers. It is possible to deliver counterfeit and problematic goods to the customer and the final consumer in any way they want, and to confuse the market.

If both the seller and the buyer consider each other’s profits and believe in win-win transactions, quality and durable polyethylene pipe will be sold and the purchase of polyethylene pipe will be done at the best price and in proportion to the quality of the pipe.
