Polyethylene (PE) Pipes and Fittings for Water Supply

PE (PE80/PE100) pipes and fittings for pressurized water supply (and pressure drainage/sewerage), dimensioned by nominal pressure (PN) and standard dimension ratio (SDR).

HDPE Pipe (Thai Industrial Standard)

The Thai national standard for HDPE (PE) pressure pipe, issued by the Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI). It covers PE80/PE100 pipe for pressurized water supply, dimensioned by PN and SDR and technically aligned with ISO 4427. It governs the pipe itself; PE fittings, valves, and fusion procedures fall under separate standards.

ASTM D3035

ASTM

PE Plastic Pipe (DR-PR) Based on Controlled Outside Diameter

PE plastic pressure pipe dimensioned by controlled outside diameter and dimension ratio (DR), published by ASTM International. It covers the smaller- and mid-diameter range of the North American OD/DR PE system (its large-diameter companion is ASTM F714) for water service, municipal utilities, and general pressurized liquids, using US PE material designation codes (e.g., PE4710) and the IPS/DIPS OD systems.

PE Plastic Pipe (DR-PR) Based on Outside Diameter

Large-diameter PE plastic pressure pipe based on outside diameter and DR, published by ASTM International. It is the big-bore companion to ASTM D3035 (smaller sizes), covering pipe for potable and raw water, municipal and industrial sewage, process liquids, effluents, and slurries — including trenchless insertion (sliplining) renewal of deteriorated pipelines. It uses US PE material designation codes (e.g., PE4710) and the IPS/DIPS OD systems.

Polyethylene (PE) Pressure Pipe and Fittings for Waterworks

PE pressure pipe and fittings, 4 in. (100 mm) through 65 in. (1,650 mm), published by AWWA for potable-water distribution and transmission in waterworks service. It defines PE materials, dimensions (by DR), pressure classes, fittings, and fusion-jointing suitability, and integrates PE into the AWWA waterworks family (fittings, valves, disinfection). The big-diameter companion to AWWA C901 (small-diameter service tubing).
