BIS CERTIFICATION FOR HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (HDPE) LAMINATED WOVEN LAY FLAT TUBE IS 16627

Published Date: April 16, 2025 4 min Read

BIS certification is essential for High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Laminated Woven Lay Flat Tubes used in mains and submains of drip irrigation systems as per IS 16627:2017. This standard ensures that lay flat tubes used in micro-irrigation infrastructure are produced to stringent quality norms, offering reliable water conveyance, structural integrity, and long-term durability under field conditions. Certification under IS 16627:2017 confirms that the product has been evaluated for key parameters such as tensile strength, bursting pressure, adhesion of laminate, and flexibility—critical for withstanding varying operating pressures and exposure to weather and UV radiation in agricultural environments. Adherence to this standard demonstrates a manufacturer’s commitment to efficient water management and sustainable agricultural practices.

IS 16627:2017 – HDPE Laminated Woven Lay Flat Tube for Drip Irrigation Mains and Submains

This Indian Standard outlines the requirements for lay flat tubes constructed using high-density polyethylene laminated woven fabric, intended specifically for use in the main and submain lines of drip irrigation systems. These tubes serve as vital components in delivering water efficiently across agricultural fields. The standard specifies requirements for physical and mechanical properties such as diameter, wall thickness, mass per unit length, tensile and bursting strength, coating adhesion, and environmental resistance. It also includes provisions for workmanship, visual inspection, packaging, and marking to ensure uniformity, traceability, and ease of identification during storage and use.

Benefits of BIS Certification for HDPE Laminated Lay Flat Tubes

BIS certification under IS 16627:2017 ensures that HDPE laminated lay flat tubes meet nationally accepted performance standards. For manufacturers, this certification not only validates product quality but also enhances brand credibility and simplifies market entry. For end-users such as farmers, agribusinesses, and irrigation project developers, certified tubes offer improved operational reliability, reduced water leakage, and greater efficiency in resource utilization. By facilitating precise water distribution, these tubes play a vital role in conserving water and boosting crop productivity—making them indispensable for modern irrigation systems.
