HDPE Pipe vs Concrete Pipe: A Full Comparison
Author: Evan Cornelius • 22 July 2022 • 2 Minute Read • Article
Looking at several aspects, here is how HDPE pipe and concrete pipe compare in an HDPE vs concrete pipe review:
- The flow capacity of HDPE is 1.3 times that of concrete pipe, so for the same flow capacity, the HDPE pipe diameter can be smaller.
- Joining HDPE pipe is very practical, simple and fast, so HDPE pipe installation is 3 times faster than concrete pipe construction. Construction costs can also be reduced more efficiently.
- Spiral pipe is made from lightweight HDPE, so the use of heavy (mechanical) equipment can be reduced compared with concrete pipe.
- HDPE pipe has a longer service life. In theory, HDPE pipe can be used for more than 50 years, while concrete pipe theoretically lasts only 20 years.
- Compared with concrete pipe, HDPE spiral pipe has much better impact resistance. The material also has excellent chemical stability, so the pipe can work with chemicals containing fairly strong oxidants.
