Eiffel Trading 101: SDR on HDPE Pipe

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe is commonly used to transport water, often in dewatering and dredging operations. HDPE pipe is chemical and UV-resistant, can withstand temperatures from -200 to 180 Fahrenheit. It’s also a type of construction material that can be reused if in good condition, with a service life of more than 50 years.

HDPE pipe is less costly to transport and install than steel due to its lower weight. It’s ideal for water transportation because the heat fusion process by which pipes are connected creates leak-free joints. HDPE even has its own pressure rating system.

If you view our listings of used HDPE pipe for sale, you’ll see that many list “SDR”, followed by a number, in the headline. So, what is SDR for HDPE pipe?

SDR stands for “standard dimension ratio”, and is used to rate pressure piping. It’s an inverse relationship, though. The higher the SDR, the lower the pressure rating. SDR indicates the amount of pressure (in PSI) a HDPE pipe can withstand.

Determining an HDPE pipe’s SDR is fairly simple. The formula is SDR = D/s, where ‘D’ is the outside diameter of the pipe (in millimeters or inches), and ‘s’ is the thickness of the pipe wall (in millimeters or inches). In the example below, a 4-inch pipe has an outside dimension (OD) of 110mm. We have calculated the SDR based on various wall thicknesses.

SDR - Standard Dimension Ratio (2)

In the graphic above, we used a sample 4-inch HDPE pipe, with SDR ratings of 9, 11 and 17. You can see that, as SDR decreases, the thickness of the wall increases. A pipe’s tensile strength increases as its thickness increases, which is the pipe’s ability to stand up under pressure.

You may also have heard the term “DR”, which stands for “dimension ratio”. When a pipe’s dimension ratio is one of the following, it’s considered standard, which is recognized internationally. Standard dimension ratios fall along the ANSI preferred number series and include 9, 11, 13.5, 17, 21, 26, and 32.5. All SDRs are DRs, but not all DRs are SDRs.

Keep in mind that pipe measurements may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Now that you know what SDR is, it’s time to start planning your next project. Check out our selection of used HDPE pipe.

Eiffel Trading 101: Common API Pipe Grades

Line pipe, used to transport petroleum products, and drill pipe, used in the oil and gas industry for deep oil and gas production wells, are most commonly classified by the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) API 5L system. The API 5L system also follows the International Organization for Standardization ISO 3183, ensuring its compliance with global oil and gas pipeline standards.

The API 5L system covers seamless and welded steel-line pipe. Grades are divided into two groups, or Product Specification Levels, PSL1 and PSL2. PSL1 pipe is standard quality, whereas PSL2 pipe contains additional chemical and mechanical properties, and has different testing requirements.

Pipe in PSL1 includes grade A, B, X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X65, and X70. There are many grades of pipe within PSL2, but the most common are X90, X100, and X120.

Pipe grade is based on its Minimum Yield Strength, represented in the grade itself by the letter X, in 000’s PSI (for example, a pipe graded “API 5L X42” has a minimum yield strength of 42,000 PSI). Yield strength is the measurement of how much stress an object can endure before its shape is permanently altered.

API 5L pipe grade also includes a pipe’s tensile strength, which is the Minimum Yield Strength multiplied by the cross-sectional area of a pipe. Tensile strength is a measurement of how much force an object can bear before breaking.

Keep reading to learn about strengths and characteristics of the most common API 5L pipe grades.

Eiffel Trading 101: Barrier Wall & Connection Types

Precast Concrete Barrier Wall (PCTB), or temporary barrier wall, work to prevent vehicles from entering work zones or leaving a roadway. These temporary barriers are often used near high-volume construction or roadwork sites, but it’s also highly effective along highways and roadways where guardrail or cable barriers may not be enough protection for drivers traveling at a high speed.

Concrete barrier wall come in several styles/sizes, and with several options for connecting sections together. Keep reading to learn more about a few of the more popular types of connection systems for F-shape, Jersey and more types of concrete barrier walls.

Pin & Loop

Bolts, or pin and loop systems, connect two sections together by sliding a pin through four loops – two on each beam. The loops are designed to sit one on top of the other, for a tighter connection. Some states require different pin types and/or number of loops for permanent and temporary barriers, so check with your state DOT before installation.

J-J Hooks

J-J Hooks are pretty much exactly what they sound like – two identical J-shaped hooks, that slide together when one barrier wall is lowered next to another. The hooks align automatically, reducing risk to workers, who can assist in placing pieces of a barrier wall without putting their hands between two pieces of barrier wall to complete assembly. J-J hook barrier wall sections can be placed in any order – there are no ‘left’ or ‘right’ pieces – and the fact that connections are cast directly into the barrier wall helps reduce lost or stolen hardware.

T-Lok TM

T-Lok barriers have a wide reach – they’re approved in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. A section of barrier wall with a T-Lok connection type will have a male end and a female end. The male end has a steel rod in a “T” shape, which slides into the female end, shaped like a “C”. Barrier wall sections must be lowered into place to ensure the ends lock. The connections, like the J-J hook system, are cast directly into the barrier wall.

4-Bolt

Some temporary barriers utilize a 4-bolt connection. This system involves bolting two pieces together at the ends from the outside – this type of connection isn’t cast directly into the barrier wall. Bolted barrier wall will have two steel channel/angle plates on each end, along the sides, that allows a second section to be placed next to the first. Two bolts are installed on each end of the plate, pulling the corners together tightly, similar to stitching fabric.

Buy and Sell Used Barrier Wall with Eiffel Trading

Of course, there are other types of barrier wall connections. Some states require specific joint/connection types. Once you’ve checked the regulations for your area, check out our used barrier wall for sale.

Used Drill Pipe: What Does the Band Color Mean?

Drill pipes are one of the most essential materials on an oilfield. It's a product that is exposed to harsh conditions like extreme depth and temperature, and subjected to large amounts of force. Drill pipe is made out of hollow, thin-walled steel or aluminum alloy piping which is very durable and can easily be reused if still in good condition.

The physical condition of a drill pipe, new or used, in terms of dimension, surface damage, or corrosion, is measured with a spherometer, which assesses the radius of a curve of a curved surface like a pipe or sphere. Based on this assessment, drill pipe is given a class and marked with a colored band (or two). This system was designed by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and is known as API Spec 5D.

Used Steel Pipe for Sale

According to API Spec 5D, drill pipe can fall into one of five classes: New, Premium, Class 2, Class 3, or scrap.

Pipe Band Colors (1)

Each class has a color-coordinated band painted on a pipe. A brand-new pipe will have one white band, whereas a band classified “Premium” will have two white stripes. While new pipe is of course the strongest, Premium-class pipe has become the standard in the drilling industry.

Drill pipes are very carefully evaluated after use. Pipes are checked using a spherometer, which measures the radius of a pipe or sphere. The market for used drill pipe has expanded over the last several years as prices for new pipe have risen. Premium and Class 2 pipe have much of the original strength of a drill pipe, and lots of useful life left in them, at a much lower cost than new pipe. Premium pipes have 80% or more of the original wall thickness remaining. Premium pipe is not only a more economical purchase versus N-class, but in most cases just as efficient.

Selling Your Listing Quickly: Tips for Selling Construction Equipment and Materials Online

Last week, we gave tips for sellers on how to approach pricing their listings for used equipment (see 4 Things to Consider When Pricing Used Construction Equipment). But there’s more to completing a sale than just price.

While price is the biggest factor most buyers will take into consideration, it’s certainly not the only one.

Now that you’ve priced your listing to move, it’s time to fill in a few other blanks that will help put yourself in the mind of a buyer, and get your material on the move.

Include All Relevant Details

Does your construction equipment have a low number of hours? Maybe it’s got a heated cab, maybe you just replaced the tires. Is your sheet pile like-new? Maybe you’ve only used your H-Pile once. These are details that can really drive up the value of a product. Put yourself in a buyer’s mindset – anything that positively sets your used equipment or materials apart from your competition’s product is a good thing.

Lots of Pictures

Take lots of pictures. We don’t just mean from every angle – though that’s important too – but of every part of the product. Photograph your construction equipment’s tires, tracks, controls…everything! Again, think like a buyer – what would you really want to see before you made a large purchase like used construction equipment or materials? Photographic evidence helps prove that your product really is worth the asking price.

Have Records Readily Available

Having access to maintenance and repair records for used construction equipment may make the difference for a buyer. Records of this sort tell a potential buyer that the equipment has been well taken care of. Additionally, these types of record (along with a previous bill of sale or other proof of purchase) help prove ownership, which assures your buyer they’re not being taken advantage of.

Partner Up

There are several options for selling used construction equipment and material. Of course, you could choose to take on the task alone. However, arranging a private sale can be time-consuming and costly for a seller, no matter the product.

Auction houses can be a nice option, and may do some of the heavy work for you, but sellers should always be aware of any policies, requirements and fees the company may demand from the sale. Each company is different, so sellers choosing to utilize auction houses should be sure to research each option carefully. Sellers also run the risk of the used construction equipment not selling in a timely fashion, and may need to list a machine multiple times before finding the right buyer, at the right price.

Auction houses also don’t deal with things like sheet pile, steel pipes, barrier walls, or other used construction materials. Private sale of these types of materials are also complicated, often time-consuming processes.

Buying Used Construction Materials: Keep Costs Down

According to the American Institute of Architects, nonresidential construction is projected to grow 4.7% by year-end, and another 4.0% in 2019. Both of these estimates are an increase from the 4.0% and 3.9% 2018 and 2019 forecasts, respectively, at the beginning of the year. These numbers look promising, right?

Consider that, as we wrote in August, the prices of structural steel rose significantly from 2017 to 2018. The World Steel Association predicts that the demand for finished steel will grow “at 1.4% globally” and 1.0% in the U.S. in 2019.

Long Story Short…Prices Are Going to Rise

The law of demand tells us that as the demand goes up, so does its price (and vice versa). Add up the projected growths in construction and demand for steel, plus the tariffs enacted on steel earlier this year, and the answer becomes clearer: The cost of steel is going to rise in 2019.

This all may be starting to sound scary, but you can still take advantage of the growth in construction projects and keep costs down.

Benefits of Buying Used Structural Steel

Take a look at the chart below. Depending on which type of steel you’re looking for, you can save more than 40% buying from sellers using Eiffel Trading’s marketplace versus buying new:

201812 new used prices

2018 average prices

In addition to the huge monetary savings, there’s also an environmental benefit to buying used material: purchasing used or surplus materials keeps it out of landfills. Beams and pipes often can be reused as-is, which saves energy and other resources by avoiding the recycling process.

4 Things to Consider When Pricing Used Construction Equipment

Buying and selling used heavy equipment may sound as simple as purchasing a used car, but there are many more factors to consider when making pricing decisions. Year, make and model are still important, but those are not the only factors that buyers consider when investing in their equipment. Just like a car, heavy equipment is an investment – one that benefits both a buyer and a seller when using a marketplace like Eiffel Trading.

Read our tips for helping determine the quality of your equipment, so you can get the best price for your product.

Condition

Heavy equipment that has been well cared for and maintained will command higher prices, especially if the equipment has been repaired (and you have the records and history to prove it), cleaned or even repainted.

Be sure to take lots of pictures. The more pictures you can provide, the better. Get all angles of the machine, serial numbers, inside the cab – anything you’d want to see before you made a decision. Think about it from your customer’s perspective!

Manufacturer and Model

Some brands will grab buyer’s attention more than others. Like car buyers, brand loyalty is consideration for a lot of customers in today’s construction equipment market. If your equipment performs just as well as one of the top brands, let buyers know. Don’t be afraid to get into the details.

Features

Features may not vary widely from year-to-year with construction equipment, but that doesn’t mean they are not worth listing. Things like capacity, new tires, or air-conditioned cabs can all make a difference in how much your equipment is worth.

Make sure you take into consideration fuel efficiency. Does your equipment meet emissions standards? Does it have an auto-idle or auto-shutdown function to prevent wasting fuel? Buyers will take things like fuel consumption into consideration when estimating the long-term costs of their investments.

Age

One of the first questions a buyer will ask is “How old is it?”. Older equipment may have many of the features of newer machinery, but older equipment may need more maintenance over time, which adds to the buyer’s financial consideration.

Model year isn’t the only age consideration – buyers will want to know how many hours are on the machine. Heavy equipment that’s well-kept and with low hours can boost your selling price.

Do Your Homework

What are similar pieces of construction equipment going for? Check used equipment value books and price guides, or check our other listings for reference.

We at Eiffel Trading help buyers and sellers work around markets that may be oversaturated, or where demand exceeds local supply. Economic conditions and factors like seasonal work cycles (forestry, for example) are out of control of both buyers and sellers, but our always-online marketplace helps give you the best opportunity to connect with the right buyers.

2018 is rapidly coming to an end and with it the proverbial question for any business owner “what can I do to reduce my taxes?” starts nagging away. Well, you might already be well aware of this particular tax feature but it’s worth bringing it up again.

Section 179 of the IRS tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment and/or software purchased or financed during the tax year. That means that if you buy a piece of qualifying equipment, you can deduct the FULL purchase price from your gross income. It’s an incentive created by the U.S. government to encourage businesses to buy equipment and invest in themselves. Now, don’t take our word as the gospel—check with your accountant before going on a giant shopping spree!

Section 179 at a Glance for 2018

  • 2018 Deduction Limit = $1,000,000
  • 2018 Spending Cap on Equipment Purchases = $2,500,000
  • Bonus Depreciation is 100%

Check out this Section 179 example:

Section 179 chart new

What equipment and vehicles qualify for a Section 179 tax deduction?

Vehicles and equipment can be new or used (“new to you” is the key). The vehicle must be acquired in an “arms-length” transaction, financed with certain qualified leases and loans, and titled in the company name (not in the company owner’s name).

  • Most heavy construction equipment, including excavators, cranes, dozers, and loaders, qualify.
  • Typical “over-the-road” Tractor Trailers will qualify.
  • Vehicles that can seat nine-plus passengers behind the driver’s seat (i.e.: Hotel / Airport shuttle vans, etc.).
  • Vehicles with: (1) a fully-enclosed driver’s compartment / cargo area, (2) no seating at all behind the driver’s seat, and (3) no body section protruding more than 30 inches ahead of the leading edge of the windshield. In other words, a classic cargo van.

How does Section 179 work?

In years past, when your business bought qualifying equipment, it typically wrote it off a little at a time through depreciation. In other words, if your company spends $50,000 on a machine, it gets to write off (say) $10,000 a year for five years (these numbers are only meant to give you an example).

Now, while it’s true that this is better than no write-off at all, most business owners would really prefer to write off the entire equipment purchase price for the year they buy it.

And that’s exactly what Section 179 does – it allows your business to write off the entire purchase price of qualifying equipment for the current tax year.

This has made a big difference for many companies (and the economy in general.) Businesses have used Section 179 to purchase needed equipment right now, instead of waiting. For most small businesses, the entire cost of qualifying equipment can be written-off on the 2018 tax return (up to $1,000,000).

According to Associated Builders and Contractors analysis of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, construction material prices rose another 0.8% in June, 2018, and are 9.6% higher than they were at the same time one year ago. For iron and steel, that number is closer to 14%. And for softwood lumber, it’s a staggering 23%. Economists fear tariffs and rapidly rising materials prices are unsustainable for the construction industry.

Stuck in the midst of these pricing increases are thousands of project managers scrambling to keep costs down and to stay within their projected budgets.

As an online marketplace helping contractors buy and sell used heavy construction material and equipment, we’ve have a very simple strategy on how you can stay within your project budget – simply buy used versus new. Here are some of the most frequent questions we have gotten over the years around buying used vs. new.

Q: How much can I really save on used construction material?

A: It depends. For used steel material such as beams we have seen savings as high as 30% and up over new beams. Used construction material prices fluctuate to some degree due to current market prices so while we have seen a slight increase in the cost of used beams, sheet pile, pipe, etc., the savings are huge. Other factors influencing the cost are condition, availability, and sometimes location as you’ll need to factor in freight into your final cost.

Material condition and other factors will determine actual sales price. Savings displayed are average numbers and subject to change.

Q: What do I need to consider when buying used equipment vs new?

A: At Eiffel Trading we like to consider these three things when you look to buy a used piece of heavy equipment.

  1. Cost of buying new.

While new equipment prices gone up recently, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the equipment has changed that much. Heavy equipment is built to last and while some features and technology might change over the years, an excavator from five years ago still gets the job done as well as a new one. If you don’t need the latest bells and whistles, buying used will without a doubt save you a ton of money.

  1. Getting your money’s worth.

Where a new piece of heavy equipment depreciates between 20 percent and 40 percent in the first year of ownership, a 5-year old piece of equipment can be valued the same five years later. Why is this important? Because if you buy a used piece of equipment for a particular project and decide that you no longer need it after the project is completed, you could end up selling it for the same amount as you paid for it a couple of years ago. That’s a return on investment (ROI), a new piece of equipment can never deliver! At Eiffel Trading, we’re offering a SMART (De)mobilization program, which allows you to first acquire and upon project completion sell a particular piece of equipment seamlessly by leveraging our online marketplace and dedicated equipment team.

  1. Where are you shopping for your used equipment?

There are more places to buy used equipment today than ever. But be cautious. It is estimated that construction equipment stolen each year is somewhere between $300 million to $1 billion of which less than 25% is recovered. Our recommendation is to purchase from third-party vendors only, such as online marketplaces, dealerships, etc., who verify ownership of equipment.

Of course, you’ll want to inspect the equipment you’re considering purchasing to ensure the quality of it. When you work with Eiffel Trading, we’ll help with quotes, logistics, inspections, freight, and any other detail needed.

In 2018 so far, Eiffel Trading customers have saved anywhere from 20% to over 30% simply by buying used vs new construction material, including used sheet pile, steel beams, barrier walls, h-pile, pipe, trestle and steel plates. These savings have allowed contractors to win a bid by keeping cost down or to stay within a project budget in the year of unexpected tariffs. What’s your reason for wanting to save money?

According to the World Steel Association, there are over 3,500 types of steel. To simplify it, steel is composed of carbon and iron and the levels of carbon determines the properties of each type of steel. These various types of steel are commonly grouped into 4 categories:

  • Carbon Steel
  • Alloy Steel
  • Stainless Steel
  • Tool Steel

Steel beams (as well as sheet pile, pipe, rods, rails, any many other applications) belong to the tool steel group. This type of steel is extremely heat resistant and ideal for drilling equipment.

Today, new steel beam prices hover around $0.435/LB all the way up to over $1/LB. Steel tariffs is one reason prices have risen. So how do you keep cost down? Well, if your project allows it, buy used steel beams at a fraction of the cost. At Eiffel Trading, most used steel beams sold are considered grade 50, suitable to be used in foundation work for constructing highways, bridges, dams, railroads, and more.

We recently added over 6 million pounds of used steel beams, starting as low as $0.35/LB! These beams, located on the West Coast, are available in various sizes, shapes, and lengths. We can quickly quote both the beams and freight if needed.
