PVC schedule 80 pipe fittings are pipe fittings made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), where “80” refers to the American standard pipe wall thickness. PVC is a commonly used plastic material with good chemical stability, corrosion resistance, and insulation, so it is widely used in various occasions that require these characteristics. PVC schedule 80 pipe fittings have undergone multiple pressure tests and physical property tests during the production process, proving that they have good durability and reliability.
Product Features
The wall thickness and pressure rating of PVC schedule 80 pipe fittings are determined according to the SCH80 specification in the American standard (ASTM D1785). This pipe fitting has the following characteristics:
1. Material: The main material of PVC pipe fittings is polyvinyl chloride, which is a commonly used plastic material with good corrosion resistance, lightweight and high strength, non-conductive, good sound insulation, and sealing.
2. Wall thickness and pressure: SCH80 is a method used in the American standard to indicate pipe wall thickness. The specific wall thickness and pressure rating need to be determined according to the nominal diameter of the pipe fitting.
3. Application: PVC schedule 80 pipe fittings are particularly suitable for systems with high-pressure requirements for pipeline system operation, such as chemical pipelines, due to their high compressive strength and corrosion resistance.
4. Standard: These pipe fittings are usually produced and tested in accordance with American standards such as ASTM D1785 to ensure that their quality and performance meet standard requirements.
Advantages
1. Excellent physical properties: PVC schedule 80 pipe fittings have high surface hardness and tensile strength, ensuring the safety of use. Its pipeline resistance is small, it is not easy to get blocked, and the maintenance workload is small, which improves the efficiency and reliability of the system.
2. Good chemical properties: PVC pipes have good corrosion resistance and chemical resistance, and can resist the erosion of a variety of chemicals. This makes PVC pipe fittings perform well in various industrial applications, including chemical transportation, wastewater treatment, etc.
3. Wide application areas: PVC schedule 80 pipe fittings are suitable for a variety of engineering pipelines and fire protection pipelines, especially in chemical hot fluid transportation, industrial wastewater discharge, semiconductor electronics factory hot water, hot chemical liquids, and other occasions. In addition, due to its excellent thermal insulation performance and smooth pipe wall, SCH80 PVC pipe fittings are also suitable for conveying hot water and chemical hot fluids with a temperature below 100 degrees.
4. Long-term service life: The normal service life of PVC pipe fittings can reach more than 50 years, with good anti-aging performance, ensuring the stability and safety of long-term use.
5. Simple construction method: The cold bonding construction of SCH80 PVC pipe fittings is simple and has a low construction cost. Although it requires certain construction experience, it simplifies the installation process overall and reduces the construction difficulty and cost.
