Acu-Tech black poly pipe manufactured for industrial and irrigation applications

The Ultimate Solution in Black HDPE Pipe and PE Pressure Pipe

Acu-Tech is Australia’s leading manufacturer and supplier of black HDPE pipe and PE pressure pipe systems. Our high-performance Acu-Black PE100 pipes are specifically engineered to provide a durable and cost-effective solution for a wide range of non-potable applications, including black poly for irrigation, agricultural drainage, and various industrial uses.

Our black HDPE pipes are incredibly resilient, flexible, and resistant to chemicals and UV degradation. The signature black exterior is due to the addition of carbon black, which gives the pipes superior UV protection and ensures a long service life of up to 50 years with a Minimum Required Strength (MRS) of 10 MPa.

Acu-Black PE100 is ideal for a variety of applications, including water distribution, gas transmission, and industrial piping systems.

Acu-Tech’s PE pressure pipes are manufactured to AS/NZS 4130 and AS/NZS 4129 standards, with common pressure ratings of PN12.5 and PN16 at 20°C. We offer a comprehensive range of sizes to suit any project, from a 32mm black poly pipe for smaller-scale use to larger sizes like 180mm black poly pipe, 200mm black poly pipe, 250mm black poly pipe, and 315mm black poly pipe.

Durable & reliable PE pressure pipe 

Our black poly pipe systems can be joined using a variety of methods, including electrofusion fittings, butt welding, or compression fittings. The heat-fused joints create a monolithic, leak-free structure that is even stronger than the pipe itself. This process eliminates the risk of rubber seal failure and common issues like root intrusion, providing a secure and long-lasting connection.

Acu-Tech offers a full range of fittings to complement our pipes, including those for different sdr ratings like sdr7.4 black poly pipe, sdr9 black poly pipe, sdr11 black poly pipe, sdr13.6 black poly pipe, and more, ensuring a perfect fit for every application.

The pipe is available in various lengths, including coils for smaller diameters like our popular PE100 coil polypipe, and 6 or 12-meter lengths for larger sizes, with custom lengths available on request.

ACU-BLACK™ PE100 POLYPIPE

Key specifications of PE pressure pipe

  • Suitable for installation according to AS 3500.1:2003 “Water services”
  • Heat-fused jointing systems create a monolithic structure that is stronger than the pipe itself, and completely leak-free. This eliminates rubber seals which can fail over time, also solving root intrusion problems, and provides pipeline integrity where installed in unstable ground. No dangerous chemicals or glues involved in jointing.
  • No anchor or thrust blocks are needed to prevent joint blow-out when using heat fusion welded jointing. Correctly made heat fusion joints may be expected to last the life of the system and withstand thrust/end loads equal to the strength of the pipe/ fitting without adding external restraint or thrust blocking.
  • Extreme flexibility of pipe allows cold bending to accommodate minor changes in direction.
  • Large range of fittings available, providing flexibility of design.
  • Pressure rating of PN12.5 (1250 kPa) or PN16 (1600 kPa) at 20°C, including safety factor of 1.25.
  • Manufactured to AS/NZS 4130 “Polyethylene – PE – pipes for pressure applications” and AS/NZS 4129 “Fittings for polyethylene (PE) pipes for pressure applications”
  • 20 mm to 110 mm diameter polyethylene water pipe is available in 50, 100, 150 and 200 metre coils. Larger diameters and custom lengths can be coiled to order.
  • 25 mm to 800 mm diameter PE water pipe is generally available in 6 and 12 metre lengths. Lengths up to 22 metres made to order.
  • Acu-Black PE pipe can be joined with electrofusion fittings, butt welding equipment or compression fittings.
  • Black PE pipe – sizes below can be made in SDR7.4, SDR9, SDR11, SDR13.6, SDR17, SDR21, SDR26, SDR33, SDR41
