Agricultural polyethylene pipe
☑️ What is agricultural polyethylene pipe?

Generally, agricultural polyethylene pipes are called pipes that are made of polyethylene. Polyethylene pipes are used for agricultural systems, drip irrigation, pressurized irrigation and water injection.

☑️ Agricultural polyethylene pipe is used more in which areas?

These types of pipes are mostly used in areas with low water capacity. In this case and in these areas, farmers are forced to grow agricultural products with the least volume of water consumption. But now, modern agricultural irrigation systems, on the one hand, and on the other hand, government facilities to improve and organize these systems, have multiplied the use of these pipes. Areas of the country such as Arak, Yazd, Bijar, Neishabur and Shahrood use these pipes the most (due to the small volume of water).

☑️ Application of agricultural polyethylene pipes

About the uses of polyethylene pipe, it is better to comprehensively read the article What is polyethylene pipe and what are its uses. But as part of its applications, it is possible to: Transferring agricultural water from the aqueduct to the pool Transferring agricultural water to sources Water storage for resources Use in pressurized irrigation systems (used by belts, risers, automatic valves and agricultural, brass, Iranian and Turkish polymer sprinklers) For drip irrigation equipment (used from the belt, dripper, to connect to the tape of the irrigation brigade) It is used in the agricultural irrigation system with New Fit or easy connection connections.

☑️ Common sizes of agricultural pipes
Agricultural polyethylene pipes are usually 4 inches and 2 inches (110 mm and 63 mm). Pipe 110 is used as the main pipe or main line pipe. Pipe 63 is also used for branching routes. A branch may be taken from pipe 63 for drip irrigation and 16-drop pipes or drip valves or drip tapes are connected to it.

☑️ Irrigation route under the pressure of the agricultural pipe

Usually 8 inches or 10 inches are used in the irrigation path under pressure (main pipeline 250 or 200) These pipes are taken to 125 mm pipe or 50 branches. Automatic belts and connections and sprinklers are installed inside these pipes (for use in irrigation)

☑️ Is it easy to install agricultural polyethylene pipe?

Agricultural polyethylene pipes are very easy and convenient to install. These pipes in small sizes include coils of 100, 50 and 150 meters. Also, these pipes have many different connections (for example, threaded connections that do not require any tools inside them). In this method, it is important to tighten a thread and the fittings are attached to it. These pipes are the best choice if the agricultural land where the pipelines are installed is leased and needs to be collected from that land in a few years. In this case, it is easy to install pipes and connections in another place and another land.

☑️ Agricultural polyethylene pipe installation methods

The installation of the agricultural pipe is formed in two ways. Polyethylene butt welding (165 to 160 mm pipes) Threaded connections (pipe sizes 20, 25, 90, 50 and 110 mm) are used. Bolt and nut connections (ring and flange) (for high size pipes)

☑️ Advantages of using polyethylene pipe in the agricultural industry

High durability Super strength Easy and convenient installation Suitable lifespan (read about the lifespan of polyethylene pipe) High mechanical resistance The price is right being light Convenient and easy to load and move High resistance to UV corrosion Diversity of distribution companies Availability Being standard Has food grade approval Has agricultural approval The seal of the Department of Standards Variety in packaging (rolls and branches) And...

☑️ PE pipes help to save water consumption

Regarding the new methods of irrigation in agriculture, such as irrigation under rain and drip pressure, polyethylene pipe is one of the predecessors of plastic pipes in this regard. By using polyethylene pipes, water consumption in irrigation is greatly reduced. Also, these pipes do not harm the environment due to the production mechanism. After all, these pipes are approved for transporting drinking water and do not affect the quality of water.

☑️ Application of polyethylene pipe in agricultural land drainage

Polyethylene pipe is used to remove excess water in agricultural lands, which causes damage to agricultural products. The drainage of agricultural land has decreased a bit in recent years (due to the optimal water consumption systems). But drainage is still used in paddy fields. For this purpose, PE pipes are a better choice because these pipes are very flexible against bending and abrasion. PE pipes are also very resistant to the weight and passage of agricultural tools and machines.

☑️ Reducing costs related to irrigation systems

Modern drip and rain irrigation systems And combining it with the use of polyethylene pipes has greatly reduced irrigation costs.

This cost reduction is very important for farmers.

☑️ Increasing the speed, volume and pressure of water transfer

According to the variety of sizes of polyethylene pipes and the pressures caused by transfer water, these pipes will allow to increase the irrigation speed of agricultural lands. For this purpose, the use of flexible connections, the smooth surface inside the pipe and the elasticity of the pipe will be very useful.

☑️ Reducing water loss or water leakage

Polyethylene pipeline systems are a safe choice for agricultural lands due to their high resistance to abrasion and leakage. If these pipes leak (for any reason), it can be easily repaired and expanded.
