Engineering Parameters That Define the Best Casing Pipe for Borewell Applications
Identifying the best casing pipe for borewell applications requires evaluating several concurrent engineering parameters, including collapse resistance, joint strength, and chemical compatibility with local groundwater conditions. uPVC casing pipes conforming to IS 12818 are widely used due to their corrosion immunity, smooth bore for reduced head loss, and long service life in aggressive groundwater. MS casing pipes offer higher collapse resistance for very deep borewells in hard rock formations. Wall thickness selection must account for external earth pressure and the annular grout pressure applied during borewell sealing operations.
