PVC-O Piping System
Standards: ISO 16422
Oriented Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC-O) pipe is a high-performance thermoplastic piping material, engineered through the reorientation of PVC molecules. This reorientation significantly enhances the pipe's strength, toughness, and overall performance, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of pressure and non-pressure applications.
Advantages
High Impact Resistance
PVC-O pipes exhibit exceptional impact strength, significantly reducing the risk of damage during transportation, installation, and operation.
Superior Hydraulic Capacity
The smooth internal surface of PVC-O pipes enhances flow rates and reduces frictional losses, leading to improved hydraulic efficiency in water distribution systems.
Pressure Performance
With enhanced molecular orientation, PVC-O pipes can withstand higher pressure levels, making them suitable for high-pressure water mains and irrigation systems.
Long-Term Durability
PVC-O pipes offer excellent resistance to fatigue and environmental stress cracking, ensuring a long service life and reliable performance under various operating conditions.
Lightweight and Easy to Install
PVC-O pipes are lightweight, facilitating easier handling and quicker installation, which reduces labor costs and overall project timelines.
Applications
Water Supply Networks
PVC-O pipes are ideal for portable water distribution systems, providing high flow capacity and reliable pressure performance to ensure efficient water delivery.
Irrigation Systems
In agricultural applications, PVC-O pipes support efficient irrigation, offering durability and resistance to high pressure for sustainable water management in farming.
Firefighting Systems
The high-pressure capability and impact resistance of PVC-O pipes make them suitable for firefighting water mains, ensuring dependable performance during emergency situations.
Sewerage and Drainage Systems
PVC-O pipes are used in sewer and drainage infrastructure due to their long-term durability, resistance to environmental stress, and superior hydraulic efficiency.
