PE Water Pressure Pipe 500 mm (20 inch)
Products in this size: PE100 Water Pressure Pipe and PE80 Water Pressure Pipe. Its pressure classes run from PN4 to PN16 (SDR 41 to 9): the lower the SDR, the thicker the wall and the higher the allowed pressure. Wall thickness 12.2–55.6 mm, inside diameter 388.8–475.6 mm and weight 19–77.3 kg per metre.
Supplied as: Bar (6, 12 m). In the Iranian market a 500 mm pipe is also called “20 inch”. That is a trade name: the real size of a PE pipe is its outside diameter, 500 mm.
Today's price: approximate price per metre for every size
