What are pressure pipes used for in agriculture?

Pressure pipes play a vital role in agriculture by transporting water under pressure to irrigation systems. They ensure efficient water distribution over long distances, helping farmers maintain consistent water flow, improving crop yield, and minimizing maintenance costs.

Why should I choose uPVC pressure pipes for agricultural use?

uPVC pressure pipes are lightweight, easy to install, and require minimal maintenance. Their long lifespan ensures reliable water transport, and their smooth internal surface reduces friction, making them a dependable choice for agricultural irrigation.

What are the advantages of Aquasafe uPVC pressure pipes?

Aquasafe uPVC pressure pipes offer durability, corrosion resistance, and high flow efficiency. They are non-toxic, ensuring safe water transport, and their smooth internal surface minimizes friction. These pipes provide long-term reliability and cost savings for agricultural and industrial applications.

Are Aquasafe pressure pipes suitable for both irrigation and water distribution?

Yes, Aquasafe pressure pipes are ideal for both irrigation and municipal water distribution. Their ability to handle high-pressure systems ensures consistent and efficient water flow, making them a cost-effective solution for multiple applications.

How durable are uPVC pressure pipes for agriculture?

uPVC pressure pipes are highly durable, resistant to chemicals and UV damage, and capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions. When installed correctly, they can last for decades with minimal maintenance, making them a cost-effective choice for agriculture.

Can I use Aquasafe uPVC pressure pipes for high-pressure systems?

Yes, Aquasafe uPVC pressure pipes are designed for high-pressure systems. Their strong construction ensures durability and leak-proof performance, making them suitable for agricultural and industrial applications.

How does leaving pipes empty for a long period affect them?

Underground pipes may experience slight deformation due to external loads and installation quality. Above-ground pipes exposed to hot air for long periods may undergo color fading, though this does not impact their pressure-bearing capacity.

What is the water pressure capacity of the pipes?

The pressure capacity of pipes depends on their material, size, and design. Residential water pipes typically handle 40 to 80 psi, but some can withstand pressures up to 200 psi or more for safety.

What is the standard length of the pipes?

According to Indian Standards (IS), the effective pipe length is calculated by subtracting the socket length from the overall length. For example, if a pipe is 6 meters long with a 0.5-meter socket, the effective length is 5.5 meters.

What is the socket length of the pipe?

For SELFIT pipes, the socket length is calculated using the formula: Socket Length = (Pipe OD + 6) / 2. For a pipe with a 100 mm outer diameter, the socket length would be 53 mm.
