Why is the internal bore of a water pipe so important?

A uniform, smooth internal bore, gives premium performance and maximum flow returns.

In fact, PVC Fabrications say that this is the number one consideration in long run pipe systems. Usually, the number of fittings used per metre of pipe, is so small in agricultural applications, that the type of pipe fitting used has very little effect on overall flow rates. In fact, pipe having a smooth bore is up to 50 times more important for flow over long run water pipe systems!

Why do Gripmax Hydrodare pipes only use virgin LDPE? The answer is twofold, pure high-grade materials guarantee extrusion uniformity. Which in turn guarantees PVC Fabrication’s hydrodare pipes have a smooth internal bore.

Thus, eliminating vortices, eddies and cross currents, maximising flow efficiency.

It also guarantees an equal wall thickness around the diameter of the pipe. This eliminates any possible weak spots / thin spots in the pipe wall. Uniform wall thickness allows them to guarantee pipe spec and performance. Giving the Retailer & End user peace of mind, knowing that the product is sound and fit for purpose.

Gripmax Hydrodare premium products made from premium raw materials.
