What does PE pipe sdr mean?

Among the many parameters of PE pipe, "SDR" often confuses many engineers and users. What exactly does PE pipe SDR mean? In fact, SDR is the abbreviation of Standard Dimension Ratio (Standard Dimension Ratio), which is an important indicator to measure the specifications and performance of PE pipe, and plays a key role in pipeline selection and engineering design.

SDR represents the ratio of outer diameter to wall thickness of the pipe, and its calculation formula is SDR = outer diameter (De)/wall thickness (e). For example, when we see that PE pipe is marked as SDR11, it means that the outer diameter of the pipe is 11 times the wall thickness. Assuming that the outer diameter of a PE pipe is 110mm, according to the standard of SDR11, the wall thickness can be obtained as 110 ÷ 11 = 10mm by formula calculation. Different SDR values correspond to different pipe wall thicknesses and pressure bearing capacity. Generally speaking, the smaller the SDR value, the thicker the pipe wall thickness and the stronger the pressure bearing capacity; the larger the SDR value, the thinner the pipe wall thickness and the weaker the pressure bearing capacity.

In practical applications, different types of PE pipes will choose the appropriate SDR value according to the use scenario and needs. Taking PE water supply pipes as an example, due to the need to transport drinking water and to withstand a certain water pressure, pipes with a smaller SDR value, such as SDR11, SDR13.6, etc., are usually selected to ensure that the pipes have sufficient strength and sealing to ensure the safety and stability of water supply. In the municipal water supply project in Wuhan, Hubei Province, a large number of PE water supply pipes with SDR11 are used. These pipes rely on good pressure-bearing performance to deliver clean drinking water to thousands of households. PE drainage pipes are mainly used for drainage and sewage discharge, and the pressure requirements are relatively low. In order to save costs and improve drainage efficiency, pipes with larger SDR values, such as SDR17, SDR21, etc., are often selected. Thinner wall thickness can not only meet the drainage function, but also reduce the weight of the pipeline and facilitate construction and installation. In some urban drainage system renovation projects in Jingzhou, the PE drain pipe of SDR17 has played an important role in effectively improving the drainage capacity.

In addition, PE drag pipe is widely used in trenchless construction, which requires high flexibility and tensile resistance of the pipe. This kind of pipe usually selects the appropriate SDR value according to the specific construction conditions and engineering requirements, so as to ensure a certain pressure bearing capacity and meet the demand for pipe flexibility during the towing construction process. In the trenchless laying project of Qianjiang natural gas pipeline, the PE drag pipe with SDR value is reasonably selected, which successfully realizes the pipeline crossing construction and reduces the damage to the ground environment.
