Aras Abshar — Polyethylene Piping & Irrigation Solutions
Aras Abshar is a trusted Iranian manufacturer of water supply and irrigation equipment with a focus on polyethylene (PE) pipes and fittings. By combining high-grade raw materials, controlled manufacturing, and a wide distribution network, the brand delivers quality, durability, and easy installation for urban, agricultural, and industrial projects.
Company & Scope
Aras Abshar produces PE pipes and fittings across multiple pressure classes to serve municipal and rural water supply, pressurized irrigation (drip and sprinkler), and industrial fluid transfer. Its differentiator is consistent quality and a complete product portfolio for execution and maintenance. Compliance with relevant national and international standards enables use in contracting and development projects.
Key Advantages of Aras Abshar PE Products
- Excellent resistance to corrosion and scaling versus metal and concrete
- Flexibility for difficult routes, reducing breakage risk
- Low weight for easier handling and faster installation
- Lower headloss thanks to smooth internal surfaces
- Long service life supported by UV stabilization additives and environmental resilience
Products & Uses
- High-pressure PE pipes (municipal and rural water supply)
- PE irrigation pipes (drip and sprinkler) in light to medium pressure classes
- Injection/welded PE fittings (tees, elbows, flanges, reducers, end caps)
- Installation accessories: backing rings & flanges, service saddles, electrofusion couplers
- Technical services: butt fusion & electrofusion welding, pressure testing, and technical handover
Common Applications
- Drinking-water distribution networks and transfer lines between reservoirs
- Pressurized irrigation (orchards, farms, greenhouses)
- Transfer of wastewater and treatment plant effluents
- Mining and chemical industries requiring higher chemical resistance
- Cable ducts and utility protection for telecom/power
Sample Specifications — Aras Abshar PE Pipes
Values below are typical for preliminary design and may vary by material grade (PE80/PE100), SDR, and manufacturing standard.
| Material Grade | SDR | Nominal Pressure (PN) | Nominal Diameter (mm) | Color/Stripe | Recommended Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PE100 | SDR11 | PN16 | 32–160 | Black with blue stripe | Urban/industrial water, medium–high pressure |
| PE100 | SDR13.6 | PN12.5 | 32–200 | Black with blue stripe | Transfer lines between reservoirs, temperate regions |
| PE100 | SDR17 | PN10 | 40–250 | Black with blue stripe | Sprinkler/drip irrigation, regional distribution |
| PE80 | SDR17 | PN8 | 40–200 | Black with blue stripe | Lower-pressure networks |
| PE100 | SDR21 | PN6 | 63–315 | Black | Gravity sewage, cable ducting, non-pressurized uses |
Standards & Quality Control
Production focuses on conformity with Iranian national standards (ISIRI) and widely used international references such as ISO 4427 and EN 12201. QC covers material density, MFR, long-term hydrostatic testing (1000-hour), dimensional and visual checks. Professional delivery includes proper packaging, full marking (diameter, SDR/PN, date, trace code), and issuance of test certificates.
Selection & Design Guide
Consider three parameters together: working pressure (PN), Standard Dimension Ratio (SDR), and material grade (PE80/PE100). As a rule of thumb, the lower the SDR, the thicker and more pressure-resistant the pipe. PE100 is recommended for higher pressures or critical projects.
Quick Design Checklist
- Calculate design flow and allowable velocity (typically 0.6–2 m/s for water supply)
- Estimate allowable headloss and select diameter using hydraulic charts
- Define PN considering static head, dynamic effects, pump fluctuations, and safety factor
- Choose compatible fittings (butt fusion or electrofusion) per diameter and PN
- Plan valve chambers, air release/drain points, and pressure test locations
Application–Selection Guide
| Application | Recommended PN | Recommended SDR | Material Grade | Dominant Jointing Method | Execution Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Urban water supply | PN16 | SDR11 | PE100 | Butt fusion / electrofusion | Provide air-release valves at high points |
| Transfer between tanks | PN10–12.5 | SDR13.6–17 | PE100 | Butt fusion | Control water hammer and pump fluctuations |
| Drip irrigation | PN4–6 | SDR17–21 | PE80/PE100 | Service saddle / coupler | Use filtration and pressure regulation |
| Gravity sewage | Non-pressurized | SDR21+ | PE100 | Coupler / welding | Maintain slopes and access manholes |
| Cable duct | Non-pressurized | SDR21 | PE80/PE100 | Coupler | Respect bend radius and routing |
Installation, Testing & Maintenance
- Trench prep: Uniform soft bedding (sand or screened soil); remove sharp aggregates
- Welding: Calibrated equipment, controlled plate temperature/pressure, correct heat/cool times
- Pressure test: Gradual filling, full de-aeration, hydrostatic test per standard with records
- Backfilling: Layered backfill and compaction; maintain minimum cover over crown
- Maintenance: Periodic leak checks, descaling in agricultural networks, service pumps/valves
Procurement Notes
- Verify batch test certificate and pipe markings (diameter, SDR/PN, date) against the order
- Match brand and material grade to the project design or tender documents
- Plan logistics for on-time delivery; protect from prolonged direct sunlight during storage/transport
Recommended Jointing Methods
- Butt Fusion: Economical for medium/large diameters; requires trained operator and certified equipment
- Electrofusion: Ideal for tie-ins, confined spaces, and repairs; uniform joint quality
- Mechanical fittings: Suitable for small diameters and low-pressure lines; fast and demountable
Sustainability
PE’s low weight, lower embodied energy, and recyclability support sustainable infrastructure. Standardized joints and correct welding reduce network leakage, conserving water and pumping energy. Long service life reduces maintenance and replacement frequency.
