Blue MDPE (Medium-Density Polyethylene) pipe is a type of plastic piping that is commonly used for water distribution.
Blue MDPE (Medium-Density Polyethylene) pipe is a type of plastic piping that is commonly used for water distribution. The designation "PE80" refers to the material's density, with "PE80" denoting a medium-density polyethylene. The SDR11 designation indicates the pipe's standard dimension ratio, which is a measure of its outside diameter to its wall thickness.
This type of MDPE pipe is typically manufactured with a shell coat, which provides additional protection against corrosion and other forms of damage. The blue color of the pipe is commonly used to identify it as a water distribution pipe.
Blue MDPE pipes are lightweight, flexible, and durable, making them ideal for use in a wide range of applications. They are resistant to many chemicals and are less susceptible to cracking or other forms of damage than some other types of piping. Additionally, they are relatively easy to install, which can help to reduce the overall cost of a project.
