HDPE Pipe Dimensions and Pressure Ratings Explained

04 Nov . 2025

HDPE pipes are available in a wide range of diameters and pressure classes defined by Standard Dimension Ratio (SDR). Understanding these classifications is crucial for selecting the right pipe for each application.

HDPE Pipe Dimensions

SDR is the ratio of pipe diameter to wall thickness. Lower SDR means thicker walls and higher pressure capacity. Common classes include SDR 11, SDR 13.6, SDR 17, and SDR 21.

Pressure Ratings

SDR 11: High-pressure systems (16 bar) SDR 17: Medium pressure (10 bar) SDR 21: Low pressure (6 bar)

Application Insights

HDPE pipes serve municipal water supply, gas transport, mining, and marine discharge lines. Their flexibility and toughness make them ideal for both underground and submerged installations.
