Superior Filtration PerformanceThese UPVC ribbed strainer pipes feature precisely engineered slot widths ranging from 0.2 mm to 1.0 mm, offering exceptional filtration efficiency. The open area (12-25%) ensures greater water inflow while effectively blocking sand and sediment, which is crucial for sustainable borewell operation and long-term water quality.
Unmatched Durability and SafetyManufactured using virgin food-grade UPVC, these pipes are non-corrosive, lead-free, and comply with major international and Indian standards. Their robust construction offers a lifespan of 20 to 50 years, resisting chemical, UV, and harsh environmental exposures, making them ideal for both municipal and agricultural water supply.
Flexible Installation & Broad ApplicationWith diameters from 90 mm up to 400 mm and lengths of 3 or 6 meters, the ribbed strainer pipes cater to a variety of borewell and tube well configurations. Installation can be executed by direct lowering or coupling, and connection types include threaded or socketed options, ensuring versatility for varied project needs.
FAQ's of UPVC Well Casing Ribbed Strainer Pipes:
Q: How are UPVC ribbed strainer pipes installed in borewell systems?
A: These pipes can be installed using direct lowering into the borewell or by coupling sections as per the site requirements. They come with male/female threaded or socketed connections, ensuring easy and secure assembly during the installation process.
Q: What are the benefits of using UPVC well casing ribbed strainer pipes for water extraction?
A: UPVC ribbed strainer pipes offer high hydraulic flow rates, excellent chemical and corrosion resistance, low head loss, and long service life. Their precise slotting ensures efficient filtration while minimizing blockages, making them ideal for consistent water extraction in municipal and agricultural applications.
Q: When should ribbed strainer pipes be preferred over plain casing pipes?
A: Ribbed strainer pipes are recommended when filtration of sand, silt, and other particulates is needed at the water intake zones of borewells or tubewells. Their ribbed design with various slot widths delivers optimum performance for wells susceptible to sediment intrusion.
Q: Where can UPVC well casing ribbed strainer pipes be effectively used?
A: They are suitable for borewell, tubewell, municipal, and agricultural water supply systems across India and other regions, especially where non-corrosive, UV-resistant, and food-grade materials are essential for water safety and infrastructure longevity.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of UPVC ribbed strainer pipes, and what factors influence it?
A: The pipes are expected to last 20-50 years depending on proper installation, operational conditions, maintenance, and water chemistry. Their non-corrosive virgin UPVC material substantially enhances durability compared to traditional metal pipes.
Q: How do the slot width and open area impact water flow and filtration efficiency?
A: Slot widths from 0.2 mm to 1.0 mm and an open area of 12-25% ensure a balance of high water inflow and effective exclusion of particulates. This design delivers excellent hydraulic performance and reliable filtration tailored for diverse groundwater conditions.
Q: What makes these UPVC casing pipes safe and reliable for water supply?
A: Being lead-free, food-grade, and constructed from virgin unplasticized polyvinyl chloride, these pipes prevent contamination, resist chemical attacks, and maintain water purity. Their compliance with IS and ASTM safety standards further ensures their reliability for potable and irrigation uses.
