HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) pipes and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes are both popular types of plastic pipes used in various applications, but they have some key differences: 1. Material: HDPE pipes are made from high-density polyethylene, a thermoplastic material with a higher strength-to-density ratio than PVC. 2. Flexibility: HDPE pipes are more flexible than PVC pipes, making them easier to handle and install. 3. Chemical Resistance: HDPE pipes have better chemical resistance than PVC pipes, especially to hydrocarbons and solvents. 4. Temperature Range: HDPE pipes can withstand higher temperatures (up to 120°C) than PVC pipes (up to 60°C). 5. Pressure Rating: HDPE pipes have a higher pressure rating than PVC pipes. 6. Corrosion Resistance: Both HDPE and PVC pipes are resistant to corrosion, but HDPE pipes are more resistant to abrasion and scouring. 7. Cost: PVC pipes are generally cheaper than HDPE pipes. 8. Applications: HDPE pipes are commonly used in water supply, sewage, and industrial applications, while PVC pipes are often used in irrigation, plumbing, and sewage applications. 9. UV Resistance: HDPE pipes are more resistant to UV light degradation than PVC pipes. 10. Life Expectancy: HDPE pipes typically have a longer lifespan (up to 50 years) than PVC pipes (up to 30 years). It's important to note that the specific properties and applications of HDPE and PVC pipes can vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific product.
