Standards: ASTM D-1785, AS/NZS 1477, ISO 4222-2, ISO 3633, AS/NZS 1260, IS 4985, DIN 8062, ISO 1452-2, BS EN 1452, BS 3506
Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride (UPVC / PVC-U) is a plastic piping system material suitable for use within many areas of water treatment, chemical processing, food and beverage, and similar industries / processes.
PVC-U is one of the specified thermoplastic for piping system components, including valves, fittings, flanges and many speciality products. PVC has excellent chemical and corrosion resistance to a broad range of fluids.
Advantages
Corrosion Resistance
PVC-U pipes exhibit excellent resistance to chemical and environmental corrosion, ensuring longevity in various applications.
Low Maintenance
Their smooth internal surface minimizes friction, reducing the likelihood of clogs and scaling, which translates to lower maintenance requirements.
Cost-Effective
PVC-U pipes offer a favorable cost-to-performance ratio, with low initial and installation costs compared to alternative piping materials.
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Despite being lightweight, PVC-U pipes possess substantial strength, making them easy to handle and install.
Versatile Application
Suitable for a wide range of uses, including potable water supply, drainage, and sewage systems, due to their durability and non-toxicity.
Applications
Potable Water Supply
PVC-U pipes are widely used for distributing drinking water in residential, commercial, and industrial settings due to their non-toxicity and durability.
Drainage Systems
These pipes are ideal for wastewater and stormwater drainage systems, providing reliable performance and resistance to blockages.
Sewage Systems
PVC-U pipes are utilized in underground sewer networks, offering excellent chemical resistance and long-term reliability.
Irrigation Systems
In agricultural applications, PVC-U pipes are employed for efficient and cost-effective water distribution in irrigation networks.
