'''HDPE pipe''' is a type of flexible [[plastic]] [[Pipe (fluid conveyance)|pipe]] used for [[fluid]] and [[Gastrointestinal tract|gas]] transfer and is often used to replace ageing concrete or steel mains pipelines. Made from the [[thermoplastic]] [[HDPE]] (high-density [[polyethylene]]), its high level of impermeability and strong molecular bond make it suitable for high pressure pipelines. HDPE pipe is used across the globe for applications such as water mains, gas mains,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.pipa.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/tn004.pdf |title=PIPA Technical Paper on Polyethylene used for Gas Pipe Material }}</ref> sewer mains, slurry transfer lines, rural irrigation, fire system supply lines, electrical and communications conduit, and stormwater and drainage pipes.
