This test ensures that the pipe can withstand bending without damage. It simulates ground pressure and load conditions to verify that the pipe remains functional under extreme bending forces without cracking or deforming.

Ring stiffness testing evaluates the pipe’s ability to resist external pressures. This is especially important in underground installations where the pipe must withstand heavy loads, such as soil weight or vehicular traffic.

This test ensures the pipe’s joints are leak-proof. Water tightness is crucial for pipes used in drainage, sewage, and stormwater management to prevent contamination and maintain the integrity of the pipeline system.

The creep ratio test evaluates the long-term deformation of the pipe under constant load. This is important for ensuring that the pipe does not lose its structural integrity over time, especially in pressure-sensitive applications.

Tensile testing measures the pipe’s strength under tension. It helps ensure that the pipe can handle stretching forces without breaking, which is important for its overall durability and longevity.

This test measures the percentage of inorganic fillers in the HDPE material. Low ash content indicates that the pipe is made of high-quality raw materials, ensuring better performance and resistance to wear and tear.

Base density testing is used to verify the material’s density, which correlates to the strength and stiffness of the pipe. Higher density ensures better resistance to impact and pressure.

The melt flow index (MFI) test checks the viscosity of the HDPE material. This test ensures that the material used in the pipes is consistent, ensuring smooth production and uniform quality across all batches.

The impact test assesses the pipe’s resistance to sudden shocks or forceful hits. Pipes that pass this test demonstrate excellent toughness, making them ideal for environments where mechanical impacts are common.

This test ensures that the pipe maintains its structural integrity when exposed to high temperatures. It is crucial for applications where the pipe might be exposed to varying temperature conditions.

OIT measures how well the pipe can resist oxidation over time. Pipes that have a higher oxidation induction time offer better resistance to aging, ensuring they last longer even in chemically aggressive environments.

Compression testing evaluates how well the pipe withstands compressive forces. This is essential for ensuring the pipe remains intact under the weight of the soil or external pressures in underground applications.

This test determines how much the pipe can bend before it starts to crack or break. A higher bending tolerance means the pipe is suitable for installations in areas with uneven terrain or shifting soils.

 This test checks the pipe’s ability to resist fire. Pipes that pass this test have low flammability and are ideal for installations in areas where fire safety is a concern, such as near electrical installations.
