Applications of PVC pipe - Large Diameter PVC-O Pipes-2

When PVC-O Pipe is used for high pressure pipelines they have a number of performance and environmental benefits compared to alternative products. 

The pipe is highly energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly during all its useful life because of the considerable savings in raw material. 

DN600 PVC-O Pipe will be less than half the weight of PE and one third of the weight of equivalent DI pipe. 

Combining their large internal diameter with low friction, PVC-O can move water faster than the alternatives. The latest PVC-O pipes are designed to withstand 25bar water pressure long-term and meet the top Class 500 rating of having a minimum tensile strength of 50MPa.

For all these reasons, PVC-O pipes are the best solution for medium and high pressure networks for potable water supply, sewer rising mains, recycled water systems, irrigation systems, and pumping systems.
