What pipe lengths are available?

Limitation of PE pipe length

Is the pipe manufacture is a continuous process, in theory the lengths available are unlimited. In practice however the lengths are limited by transport, ease of handling on site, other general site conditions and local practices.

PE100 pipe is generally available in three forms

  1. Straight lengths of pipe (diameters 90mm and above) in standard lengths of 6, 10, 12, 15, 24, and 30 metres. For some special projects, e.g. sea outfall installations, where transport can be made by water (canal, river or sea), extremely long lengths can be supplied.
  2. Coils. Free-standing coils of pipe up to pipe diameter 180mm.
  3. Drums. Similar to coils but supplied wrapped onto a drum for support. Longer lengths are available in this form than in coils.

For both coils and drums the range of pipe lengths available is usually limited by transport considerations.

What range of pipe diameters is available?

PE100 can be manufactured in a wide range of polyethylene 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. Standard diameters of PE100 pipe in this range are: 32...
