HDPE Equivalent to HPPE Pipes?
HDPE Equivalent to HPPE Pipes?
(OP)
I am currently involved in a sewerage scheme, where we have specified a pipe - 160mm OD Black (PE100) SDR 17.6 - 10 Bar.
One of the main suppliers has stated that he does not have HPPE, he only has HDPE.
Is it ok to use this, and what is the HDPE rquivalent?
The supplier stated that a HDPE (Pe100) SDR 11 - 10 Bar would be equivalent?

Since flow characteristic for the two materials are similar, the smaller ID will create both higher velocity and friction losses, which is probably not desirable - suggest that you check your calcs with the reduced ID.
