The colour-coded system simplifies the process of distinguishing between different types of pipes, ensuring that the right pipe is selected for its specific purpose. Whether it’s sewer piping, gas distribution, or water treatment, the colour-coded stripes streamline the decision-making process, saving time and ensuring the correct pipe is used.

Enhancing Efficiency and Ease of Use with Stripes

Colour-coded stripes on polyethylene pipes make them very efficient and easy to recognise and use. The colour-coded system eliminates confusion and potential errors during installation and maintenance with its easily visible stripes. Colours can be used as a full jacket while performing the same function as stripes on the pipes.

For example, the colour-coded stripes in irrigation systems help differentiate between pipes designated for broad-acreage watering, stock watering lots, crop irrigation, and dam and tank water transfer. This clear identification system ensures that the pipes are used in the appropriate context, maximising the irrigation system’s efficiency.

The versatility of polyethylene piping extends to its different variations, including those with distinct colours and stripes. These colour-coded pipes provide valuable information about their designated applications and help ensure their proper usage and compatibility. Here are some examples of polyethylene pipes with specific colours and stripes:

HDPE black pipe, with no stripes, is suitable for a wide range of applications, making it a versatile choice. It can be used for water supply, irrigation, drainage, and other non-fuel gas applications.

HDPE black pipe with blue stripes is specifically designed for drinking water lines and potable water pipelines. The blue stripes serve as a visual indicator that the pipe is intended for carrying water suitable for consumption.

HDPE black and yellow pipe is designated for applications involving fuel gases, process gases, and liquefied gases under pressure. The yellow colour or stripes on the pipe serve as a safety precaution, clearly identifying its purpose.

HDPE pipe black with red stripes is dedicated to the water supply for fire extinguishing systems. The red stripes on the black pipe indicate that it is specifically designed for carrying water used in fire suppression.

HDPE pipe black with lilac stripes (or black with purple stripes) is meant for recycled or reclaimed water pipes. The lilac or purple stripes on the black pipe highlight its purpose as a conduit for non-potable water that has undergone recycling or reclamation processes.

HDPE pipe black with cream stripes is designed for sewer pipes. The cream stripes on the black pipe provide a visual identifier that the pipe is used for sewer systems and the distribution of wastewater.

These colour-coded variations of HDPE pipes offer a convenient and efficient way to identify the pipes’ intended applications. By using the appropriate colour-coded pipes, industry professionals can ensure their piping systems’ safety, efficiency, and compliance in various contexts.

Safety Enhancement and Hazard Prevention

The colour-coded stripes on polyethylene pipes also contribute to safety enhancement and hazard prevention. In applications such as sewer piping and gas distribution, the clear identification system helps workers and emergency responders identify the type of content and associated hazards, ensuring proper handling and minimising the risk of accidents.

Colour-coded stripes play a crucial role in complying with standards and regulations. For water treatment plants, where the quality and safety of treated water are paramount, the colour-coded system ensures that pipes designated for sewage treatment plants, water recycling plants, and potable water treatment plants are correctly utilised. Allmach’s PE pipes comply with Australian safety standards AS4130 and AS1345.
