Basic concepts of SDR 9 pipe fittings
SDR (Standard Dimension Ratio) is the standard dimension ratio, which is the ratio of the outer diameter of the pipe to the wall thickness. SDR 9 pipe fittings means that the ratio of the outer diameter of the pipe to the wall thickness is 9:1. This specification of pipe fittings has a thicker wall and can withstand higher working pressure. HDPE (high-density polyethylene) material is an ideal choice for SDR9 pipe fittings due to its excellent physical and chemical properties.
Core advantages of HDPE materials
