Re: HDPE pipe size

Yep, good answer Geoff; the video would be worth seeing.

This person will still need to contact a manufacture though!

Standard build sizes listed within Australia for PE100 go up to 800mm, (less for higher pressure ratings) although unless you had a significant order you would be unlikely to get it produced. Manufactures want to keep the extruders running on the common, high volume profitable lines and they will not change dies for anything less than a project amount. For odd-ball amounts and sizes, some tonnes of material will be required to even have them make a commitment to even schedule the pipe into their production program. I am speaking from previous experience.

Cheers,

Robin

it did happen. I think the pipe manufacturer was Borealis. So you are not limited to what is produced in your country. If you need large diameter PE it could be floated across oceans if that is what your heart desires.
