Drip Irrigation Polyethylene Lateral Pipes (LDPE / PE32 / PE40)

Tosan Sanat Apadana Company has also included the production and sale of this type of pipe in its product portfolio. The company’s polyethylene lateral irrigation pipes are made from LDPE material and are available in various sizes in accordance with National Standard No. 7607. To facilitate customer purchases, the company offers 16 mm pipes in classes A, A+, B, and B+, as well as 20 mm pipes in classes A and A+. Lateral irrigation pipes are produced in two grades PE32 and PE40 with PE40 providing higher strength and durability than PE32.
The working pressure range for PE32 pipes is 2.5 to 6 bar, while for PE40 pipes, it ranges from 2.5 to 8 bar.

Difference Between PE40 and PE32 Polyethylene Pipes

Strength and Pressure Resistance The strength and pressure resistance of PE40 polyethylene pipes are higher compared to PE32 pipes.

Wall Thickness The wall thickness of PE40 pipes is less than that of PE32 pipes, resulting in a lower overall weight for PE40 pipes.

Reduced Water Consumption Drip irrigation significantly reduces water consumption compared to other irrigation methods.

Prevention of Weed Growth Since water is delivered precisely and directly to the plant roots, the growth of weeds is minimized.

Prevention of Fertilizer and Pesticide Runoff Pesticides and fertilizers are not delivered to the plants simultaneously with irrigation, which is very important for maintaining plant health.

Increase in Cultivated Area By optimizing water use, a larger area of land can be brought under cultivation.

Precise Control of Irrigation Timing and Frequency It allows precise adjustment of irrigation timing for each plant or crop.

Reduction in Labor Costs The need for labor in irrigation is reduced.

Improvement in Crop Quality and Yield Accurate and timely irrigation promotes better plant growth and increases crop yield.

Prevention of Soil Erosion Since water is delivered precisely and directly to the plants, soil erosion is prevented.

Ability to Supply Nutrients Along with Irrigation Water It is possible to add fertilizers and other nutrients to the irrigation water.

Precise Adjustment of Plants Water Requirements The water requirement of each plant can be easily adjusted using emitters. In a drip irrigation system, water flows at low pressure through small openings on the pipes and is distributed at a shallow depth in the soil. This method not only prevents a reduction in yield but, in many cases, also contributes to increased crop production.

Reduced Risk of Plant Diseases By preventing excessive moisture on the soil surface, the risk of plant diseases is reduced.
