Hi,

I'm going to buy a 5m HDPE pipe from my local pipe-supplier.

 

They have two different inner diameter sizes: 79,2mm and 73,6mm ID. Which one will be most suitable for 3" ball shells?

I would go with the 79.6mm, 3.1"

My 3 inch HDPE mortars are 3.1"

I think the bigger one is better because if the shell doesn't fit, you can just add another layer to make it fit. It would be easier than if the pipe was to small and you had to remove a layer from the shell.

As noted above, go with the larger size. 3" is ~76mm. You also want to have some clearance around the shell.
