In modern infrastructure construction, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes are widely used in water supply, drainage, gas transportation, industrial fluid transportation, agricultural irrigation and other fields due to their corrosion resistance, flexibility, high pressure resistance and long life. Among them, 36-inch (about 914.4mm) HDPE pipes are particularly suitable for large-flow transportation systems due to their large-diameter design, and are in great demand in industries such as municipal engineering, petrochemicals and mining.
So, what is the price of 36-inch HDPE pipes? What are the factors that affect the price? This article will provide you with a detailed analysis.
The price of HDPE pipes is not fixed, but is affected by multiple factors, including:
1. Raw material cost
HDPE pipes are mainly made of PE100 or PE4710 grade high-density polyethylene, and the market price of raw materials directly affects the final selling price.
PE100 materials are usually more expensive than PE80, but have better performance and can withstand higher pressures.
2. Pipeline specifications and wall thickness (SDR grade)
SDR (standard dimension ratio) is an important parameter that determines the wall thickness of the pipe. The smaller the SDR, the thicker the wall thickness, the stronger the pressure bearing capacity, and the higher the price. For example:
36-inch SDR 17 (PN10): suitable for medium pressure transmission, the price is lower.
36-inch SDR 11 (PN16): suitable for high-pressure transmission, the price is higher.
3. Market supply and demand
In areas where there is a strong demand for HDPE pipes, such as countries with rapid growth in infrastructure construction, the price may be relatively high.
4. Production process and brand
Manufacturers that use advanced extrusion molding technology and pass ISO certification have more guaranteed product quality and may be relatively expensive.
5. Transportation and import taxes
Due to the large volume of 36-inch HDPE pipes, the transportation cost is high, and the tax policy of the importing country will also affect the final selling price.
According to market conditions, the price of 36-inch HDPE pipe is usually calculated per meter (m) or per foot (ft), as follows (for reference only, the actual price needs to be confirmed with the supplier):
|
Specifications (36 inch) |
SDR Level |

USD/m |
USD/ft |
|
SDR 17 |
PN10 |
$250 - $400 |
$76 - $122 |

SDR 13.6 |
PN12.5 |
$350 - $500 |
$107 - $152 |

⚠ Note:
Prices will fluctuate with the price of raw materials. It is recommended to consult suppliers in real time to obtain the latest quotes.
The above prices do not include taxes and shipping costs. The logistics costs in different regions will also affect the final price.
1. Product quality certification: Ensure that the supplier's products meet international standards such as ISO 4427, ASTM D3035, AWWA C906, etc.
2. Source of raw materials: Choose pipes made of 100% pure raw materials and avoid using recycled materials to ensure longer service life.
3. Customized service: Customize HDPE pipes with different SDR, pressure levels and lengths according to project requirements to improve construction efficiency.
4. After-sales service: Provide technical support, installation guidance and long-term quality assurance to ensure the smooth progress of the project.
36-inch HDPE pipes are widely used in many industries due to their excellent performance. Its price is affected by many factors such as raw materials, specifications, market supply and demand, brand and transportation costs. When purchasing, the project needs and cost budget should be considered comprehensively.
