    PE80 HDPE Pipes

    PE80 grade HDPE pipes — a cost-effective solution for medium-pressure irrigation, rural water supply, and drainage applications up to PN 10.

    Standard

    PE80 is the medium-duty grade of polyethylene pipe resin with a Minimum Required Strength (MRS) of 8 MPa per ISO 12162. While PE100 is the premium grade for high-pressure applications, PE80 remains a reliable and cost-effective choice for lower-pressure irrigation, rural water supply, and drainage systems.

    PE80 pipes use a monomodal HDPE resin that offers good pressure performance for applications up to PN 10. For small-diameter agricultural pipes (20–110mm) at PN 4–6, PE80 provides all the advantages of HDPE — flexibility, corrosion resistance, UV stability, and leak-proof joints — at a slightly lower material cost than PE100.

    The key difference from PE100 is that PE80 requires slightly thicker walls to achieve the same pressure rating, resulting in a marginally smaller internal bore. For most farm-level irrigation where flow volumes are moderate and pressures are below PN 8, this difference is negligible. For high-pressure, large-diameter, or long-distance water supply, PE100 is the better choice.

    TARKO manufactures PE80 pipes conforming to IS 4984:2016 at our BIS-certified facility in Nagpur. PE80 pipes carry the same ISI mark, undergo the same quality testing, and come with the same documentation as our PE100 range.

    Why Choose TARKO PE80 HDPE Pipes?

    Engineered for performance, certified for quality, priced for value.

    MRS 8 MPa — Medium Duty

    Minimum Required Strength of 8 MPa — suitable for pressure classes up to PN 10 in standard sizes.

    Cost-Effective

    Lower resin cost per kg compared to PE100, making PE80 a budget-friendly choice for medium-pressure agricultural and rural applications.

    Same BIS Certification

    Manufactured under IS 4984:2016 with the same BIS/ISI certification, testing, and documentation as PE100 pipes.

    UV Stabilized

    Same 2–2.5% carbon black stabilization as PE100 for reliable surface-laid and open-field performance.

    50+ Year Service Life

    PE80 also achieves a 50+ year design life per ISO 9080, though at lower operating pressures than PE100.

    Ideal for Irrigation

    Perfect for farm drip/sprinkler mainlines at PN 4–6, where PE100's extra pressure capacity isn't needed.

    Applications

    • Farm-level drip and sprinkler irrigation mainlines
    • Rural water supply at PN 4–6
    • Gravity-flow drainage and sewerage
    • Low-pressure industrial piping
    • Cable protection conduits
    • Low-head pump discharge lines

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Common questions about PE80 HDPE Pipes

    Choose PE80 when your application requires PN 6 or lower pressure and cost is a priority — typically farm-level drip/sprinkler mainlines, rural water supply, and gravity drainage. For PN 8 and above, or for long-distance trunk mains, PE100 is more cost-effective due to thinner walls and greater flow.
    Yes. TARKO PE80 pipes are certified under IS 4984:2016, the same standard as PE100. They carry the ISI mark and come with BIS licence copy and test certificates — eligible for government tenders and subsidy schemes.
    PE80 pipes are practically used up to PN 10 (10 bar). Higher pressures are technically possible but require very thick walls, making PE100 more economical. For PN 12.5 and above, always use PE100.
    Yes, if they have the same outer diameter and compatible wall thickness. Use electrofusion couplers for the most reliable mixed-grade joint. However, the joint pressure rating is limited to the lower-grade pipe.
    For shallow borewells (under 50m) at low pressures, PE80 can work. For deeper borewells with higher pressures, PE100 is strongly recommended because it provides the required pressure rating with thinner, lighter pipes.
