Understanding the different sizes of Borewell Casing Pipes

Borewell casing pipes are an essential component of any borewell system. They are used to protect the well from collapsing and to prevent contamination of the water source. Understanding the different sizes of borewell casing pipes is crucial for selecting the right pipe for your specific needs.

Borewell casing pipes come in various sizes, ranging from 4 inches to 12 inches in diameter. The size of the casing pipe you choose depends on several factors, including the depth of the borewell, the type of s Oil, and the intended use of the well. For shallow borewells, typically less than 100 feet deep, a 4-inch casing pipe is commonly used. This size is suitable for domestic purposes such as supplying water to a single household or small-scale irrigation. The smaller diameter allows for easier installation and is more cost–effective.

As the depth of the borewell increases, a larger casing pipe is required to provide adequate support and prevent collapse. For borewells between 100 and 300 feet deep, a 6-inch casing pipe is often used. This size is suitable for medium-scale irrigation or supplying water to multiple households. For deeper borewells, typically exceeding 300 feet, an 8-inch or 10-inch casing pipe is recommended. These larger sizes provide the necessary strength and stability to withstand the pressure exerted by the surrounding soil and water. They are commonly used for commercial purposes, such as supplying water to large agricultural fields or industrial facilities.
