Understanding Different Types Of Agricultural Pipes And Their Uses

9 Views

Modern farming depends on an efficient water distribution system and the right pipes choice plays a major role in crop productivity and irrigation improvements. Now a days, the farmers have a lot of choice in selecting an agricultural pipe. These pipes allow water to flow more easily, reducing energy costs. Following are the different types of agriculture.

. PVC Agriculture Pipes

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes are one of the most frequently used types of agriculture pipes. These are e lightweight, easy to install and highly resistant to corrosion and chemicals. PVC pipes are commonly used in irrigation networks, water supply networks, and drainage systems. The most important advantage of PVC agricultural pipes is its smooth interior, which enables water to flow with little friction loss. These pipes also have a long-life span and low maintenance.

. HDPE Pipes

HDPE-High-Density Polyethylene pipes are trusted due to their flexibility and strength. These pipes have high resistant to impact, UV ray and harsh environmental conditions. These pipes are used in irrigation system, drip irrigation system, sprinkler irrigation and water transportation underground, due to their flexibility. These pipes are suitable for uneven areas and agricultural lands where frequent movement may occur.

. Column Pipes

These pipes are durable and have long-lasting service life. These pipes are made from high-grade uPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) which can withstand high water pressure, high load due to submersible pumps and sudden high pressure. These pipes do not rust or corrode. The column pipe is a major type widely used by farmers for irrigating crops through deep groundwater. These pipes are strong but also light weight, which is easy to install and maintain as compared to metal pipes.

. Casing Pipes

Casing pipes are used in borewells ensuring ensure that the surrounding soil and rock do not collapse into the well. These pipes are important for structural support as these prevent any interruption in the water supply and keep the borewell dry and clean. Casing pipes are needed wherever there are deep borewells used for irrigation in the agricultural sector. PVC casing pipes are the most popular choice among borewell casing materials because of their high durability, lightweight nature and non-corrosive nature. Their long service life and easy maintenance ensure smooth performance in both agricultural and industrial borewells.

. Drip Irrigation Pipes

Drip irrigation pipes are a type of agriculture pipe. These pipes are manufactured through an automated polymer extrusion and injection process. Drip irrigation pipes are used for supplying water to the plant’s root zone with the help of small emitters. These pipes are used by vegetables and fruits crops growers due to their efficient water use.

. Sprinkler Irrigation Pipes

These pipes distribute water through droplets and are suitable for large agricultural fields, lawns, plantations etc. Sprinkler system saves labour and ensures a uniform irrigation of field. It is especially useful for crops which require irrigation at regulated rates.
