Applications of PVC pipe - Large Diameter PVC-O Pipes-1

The new release of PVC-O Pipe with diameters up to DN 600mm make them the best solution for medium and high pressure networks for potable water supply, sewer rising mains, recycled water systems, sewer rising mains, irrigation systems, and pumping systems.

PVC-O Pipes are the most advanced pipes for the conveyance of high pressure water on the market.

The process of molecular orientation greatly enhances PVC's physical properties and gives PVC-O a number of exceptional features. It becomes an unbeatable plastic in terms of strength, impact resistance, and flexibility without altering its chemical properties. PVC-O Pipes are virtually impossible to destroy by impact, virtually eliminating the possibility of breakages during installation or during on-site trials caused by drops or impacts.

This makes for a plastic with unbeatable qualities in terms of resistance to traction and fatigue, flexibility, and impact resistance. When used in high pressure water pipelines, this type of piping is virtually indestructible and is expected to have a lifetime in excess of 100 years.

Compared to PE and metal pipes, the relatively thin but strong PVC-O Pipes have greater water volume carrying capacity and lower susceptibility to water hammer especially compared with steel and cast iron pipes due to lower wave speed (celerity).
