Frequently asked questions

Concise answers about ordering, production, delivery, and pipe quality.

Orders & lead times

02

01What is the minimum order quantity?

Technically the plant can produce even a few metres, but in practice small batches are not taken into production: the line is set up for each specific order. The working minimum is 200 linear metres per item, regardless of diameter. For smaller volumes, call or message on WhatsApp to check stock availability.

02How long does production take?

On average 2–5 working days depending on diameter and volume. With 8 parallel lines, lead times are shorter than at plants with 3–6 machines. To save time we can start production while the contract is being signed and payment is processed.

Price & quality

02

03Why are your prices higher than some competitors?

We use only virgin raw material and build on our reputation. Cheap recycled-material pipes fail more often — repairs and downtime cost more than the price difference. The plant stands behind the product directly.

04How do I get an exact price?

Leave a request via WhatsApp or by phone — a manager will quote the price for your diameter, SDR, and volume. The price per metre depends on the diameter and raw material grade.

Technical questions

04

05What is SDR and which one should I choose?

SDR is the ratio of outer diameter to wall thickness: the lower the SDR, the thicker the wall and the higher the working pressure. SDR17 is commonly used for water supply, SDR11 for gas. Exact selection is based on the design working pressure.

06What is the difference between PE80 and PE100?

PE100 is a denser and stronger grade of polyethylene: at the same pressure it has a thinner wall than PE80, or withstands higher pressure at the same wall thickness. PE100 is the modern standard for pressure pipelines.

07What is a co-extruded pipe?

A multi-layer pipe whose layers are formed simultaneously in the melt during extrusion. Ours is a two-layer pipe d200–630: for water 90% white virgin inner layer + 10% black outer; for gas 90% black + 10% yellow. The white layer is visible proof of virgin raw material.

08Do you have large-diameter PP-coated pipes?

Yes. Pipe-Plast manufactures pipes with a polypropylene protective sheath in diameters 200–630 mm — unique for the region (other plants only go up to 160 mm).

Delivery

02

09Are you located in Almaty?

The plant is located in the Almaty region, Otegen Batyr village (about 30 minutes from Almaty). Pick-up from the plant; delivery across Kazakhstan via trusted freight forwarders.

10Do you deliver across Kazakhstan?

Yes. The plant helps arrange delivery: it selects a freight forwarder and provides the cost; the customer signs the contract directly with the carrier. Lead time is usually 2–5 working days.

Documents & tenders

02

11Do you work with tenders and public procurement?

Yes. Every batch comes with GOST compliance certificates and quality passports — this covers tender documentation requirements. We produce large diameters up to 1200 mm for major projects.

12Do you have GOST certificates?

Yes. Products comply with ГОСТ 18599-2001 / СТ РК ISO 4427-2014 (water), СТ РК ГОСТ Р 50838-2011 / СТ РК ISO 4437-2014 (gas). Certificates and passports are provided with every batch.
