PVC Borehole Pipes
PVC borehole pipes are crucial components in the process of a borehole infrastructure. These pipes are made up of a high-quality UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) and the absence of plastic makes it rigid and strong. The strength of uPVC makes it the ideal material for borehole pipes, while its lightweight construction ensures quick installation. uPVC is a highly durable material and resistant to corrosion and rust, making it ideal for use in borehole applications.
Features
As part of borehole installation materials, PVC pipes have desirable features for their applications. They are corrosion-resistant, cost-effective and much more durable as compared to metal pipes. This makes the pipes ideal for use in areas with high humidity or exposure to water. Desirable features that makes uPVC column pipes superior are:-
- Rigid construction and longer life span.
- The best alternative for G.I Pipes and cost effective.
- Ideal for potable water supply.
- Internal and external square threaded spigots ends and rubber gasket for easy, reliable joining and pressure sealing.
- Specially designed square threads are capable of withstanding heavy loads.
- Internal surface of these pipes are very smooth, resulting in very low head loss due to friction as compared to G.1. pipes thereby saving power.
- Borehole pipes are resistant to chemical reactions when used in acidic or alkaline waters.
- Can handle water with maximum temperature up to 45°C.
- These borehole pipes come in 3m Standard length and are of light weight ensuring easy handling and storage.

Borehole Pipes Sizes and Selection
These versatile pipes come in a range of sizes from 1¼” to 3″, making them suitable for any project requiring columns of different height or width. While selecting borehole pipes, it must be ensured that the pump delivery pressure does not exceed the permissible hydrostatic pressure. To begin with, Upvc borehole pipes load withstanding capacity is rated in bars, or kg/cm².
In the column, for every 10m above the pump, there is a pressure drop of 1 kg/cm², therefore, while selecting the borehole pipe, ensure that the total load is very well within the recommended ultimate breaking load. Depending on the recommended installation depth, borehole upvc column pipes are categorized into medium, standard and heavy duty.
