Why Choose Polyethylene as a Dredge Pipe Material?
In recent years there has been a constant increase in the number of dredges using hdpe pipe as a discharge pipe. Its popularity as a dredge or discharge pipe is mainly due to a unique combination of material properties making it ideal for hydraulic dredging applications. The piping material that you choose for your dredging project can have an significant impact on both the performance and functional efficiency of the hydraulic dredging process. In a typical dredging pipe system, the dredged material is pumped through the pipeline as slurry. The diameter of the pipe has a direct impact on the efficiency of the hydraulic transport process. While the material of the pipe can vary from simple steel to polyethylene and rubber, the flexibility of hdpe pipe, its flow rates, overall toughness, corrosion resistance are important factors in confined working areas and, particularly, when working in exposed sea areas with significant wave activity.
