HDPE Wire Mesh Pipe vs Solid Wall Pipe: What Are the Differences

HDPE Wire Mesh Pipe and Solid Wall Pipe are commonly used pipes for municipal engineering. Some manufacturers may have difficulty distinguishing between them due to the similar names.

Indeed, there are some differences between the two. But how do you distinguish them? How can you apply this information to your business?

In this article, you will learn more about HDPE Wire Mesh Pipe vs Solid Wall Pipe

HDPE steel wire skeleton pipe is a new type of improved steel skeleton plastic composite pipe, which is also called SRTP pipe. It uses high-strength plasticized steel wire skeleton and thermoplastic polyethylene as raw materials, uses steel wire winding net as the skeleton reinforcement of polyethylene plastic pipe, uses high-density polyethylene as the matrix, and uses high-performance HDPE modified adhesive resin to tightly combine the steel wire skeleton with the inner and outer layers of high-density polyethylene, so that it has excellent composite effect and has the respective advantages of steel pipe and plastic pipe.

HDPE solid wall pipe is made of high-density polyethylene as the main raw material. It has a single-layer structure and has excellent corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, UV resistance and low permeability.

Simply put, the HDPE wire mesh skeleton composite pipe has steel wire added inside.

The pressure bearing capacity of HDPE solid wall pipe is mainly affected by the strength and wall thickness of the material itself. In general, HDPE pipes are usually used for medium and low pressure applications, such as tap water supply, drainage systems, etc.

HDPE steel wire mesh skeleton composite pipe can withstand higher pressure due to the internal steel wire mesh skeleton support. Therefore, it is usually used in applications that require higher pressure bearing capacity, such as transporting natural gas, transporting corrosive liquids, etc. In addition, it also has strong tensile, bending and impact resistance, is not easy to deform and rupture, and can adapt to the transportation requirements in various complex environments.

Common welding methods for HDPE solid wall pipes include hot melt connection and electric fusion connection, among which hot melt connection is more commonly used. Hot melt connection is to heat the pipe and the joint to melt them, then quickly connect and cool to form a strong connection.

The common connection methods of HDPE steel wire mesh skeleton composite pipe are electric fusion connection and flange connection. Among them, electric fusion connection is more commonly used and must use a special [electric fusion sleeve]. Electric fusion connection is to insert the composite pipe into the interior of the electric heating pipe, heat the pre-buried electric heating pipe, first melt the inner wall of the pipe to form a melt, and then melt it, expand it, and fill the gap in the pipe until a melt is formed on the outside of the pipe.

HDPE solid wall pipes are mainly suitable for medium and low pressure applications, such as municipal water supply and drainage pipelines, natural gas pipes, agricultural and forestry irrigation, etc.

HDPE wire mesh skeleton composite pipe is mainly used for transportation needs in higher pressure applications or complex environments, such as oil and gas fields, power plants, chemical plants, petrochemical companies, water plants, outdoor fire protection and other industries.

The manufacturing cost of HDPE solid wall pipe is relatively low, but its service life is short in harsh environments such as high temperature, high pressure, and wear, and it requires frequent maintenance and replacement.

The manufacturing cost of HDPE wire mesh skeleton composite pipe is relatively high, but it has a long service life and low maintenance cost, and can operate stably for a long time.

HDPE steel mesh skeleton composite pipes have excellent performance in certain specific areas due to their special steel mesh skeleton structure, such as engineering projects that require higher strength, greater pressure bearing and higher durability. HDPE solid wall pipes are more common in some lightweight and easy-to-install applications, such as water pipes and drainage systems.
