Agriculture, the foundation of the nation, is essential. In today's society, the demand for food is increasing, agricultural production is expanding, and water consumption is also rising. However, water resources are not infinite, and many regions are facing the crisis of depletion. Therefore, "water-saving irrigation" in agriculture is receiving growing attention, and irrigation methods are also changing. High-standard farmland irrigation has become an important irrigation method. High standards are a crucial method of water-saving irrigation, so what kind of pipe material should we choose for farmland and garden irrigation?
Polyethylene irrigation pipe is a new type of plastic pipe product made from high-density polyethylene resin as the main raw material, extruded and processed through an extruder. It has a series of advantages such as good flexibility, strong corrosion resistance, impact resistance, aging resistance, stable joints, lightweight, and easy construction, bringing many conveniences to agricultural irrigation. Therefore, it is also favored and supported by many farmers.
Polyethylene irrigation pipe, also known as PE pipe, is connected between the pipeline systems by electrofusion, with joint strength higher than the pipe body strength. It has characteristics such as reliable connection, good low-temperature impact resistance, corrosion resistance, aging resistance, and small water flow resistance. Additionally, the wear resistance of the polyethylene irrigation pipe is four times that of steel pipes, with good low-temperature impact resistance. It is not easy to brittle crack during winter construction, polyethylene can resist various chemical media corrosion, and compounds in the soil will not degrade the pipeline.
In farmland water conservancy irrigation, compared with open channel irrigation, polyethylene irrigation pipe has many advantages, becoming a main measure in the vigorously promoted water-saving irrigation technology. Its main advantages are:
Excellent chemical stability
The pipe material has corrosion resistance and chemical stability, which can meet the requirements of agricultural irrigation water and fertilizer integrated transportation, and does not destroy the nutrients in fertilizers, ensuring the production needs of crops.
Excellent hygiene performance
SEAPEAK Polyethylene irrigation pipe has excellent hygiene performance. The pipe material performance is stable, does not harm the water body, and is non-toxic, non-polluting during use, which does not affect the nutrient content of the crops.
Good scratch resistance
When laying and using in farmland, dragging and friction are inevitable. Good flexibility and wear resistance ensure the normal transportation of water resources protected by pipe materials.
Good toughness and convenient construction
SEAPEAK pipes have good toughness. Small specifications can be coiled, which can resist uneven settlement of the soil. During installation, it can be bent appropriately according to the actual situation, reducing unnecessary pipe connections and significantly saving construction and installation costs and equipment.
Strong water-saving ability
SEAPEAK polyethylene irrigation pipe uses closed water transportation, reducing natural evaporation of water from open irrigation methods like ditches and canals, thereby reducing water resource waste and improving water utilization.
Reduce water transport energy consumption
The inner wall of the pipe is smooth, non-scaling, with a low friction coefficient and low-pressure loss, greatly reducing the energy consumption of water pumps.
Long service life and recyclable materials
Under normal conditions, the service life can reach 50 years. Polyethylene is a recyclable material and can be adjusted flexibly according to the growth cycle of economic crops. The old pipes can be recycled and reused.
