The diameter of a 1 in pvc pipe is equal to 25.4 mm, and the inch is a unit of length commonly used to indicate the diameter of a pipe. In imperial units, one inch is equal to 25.4 millimeters. Therefore, when we refer to a 1-inch PVC pipe, we are actually referring to the inner diameter of the pipe being 25.4 mm, that is, 2.54 cm. Due to the difference in wall thickness of PVC pipe, its outside diameter will be different, usually around 3.34 cm. PVC pipe of this size is suitable for a variety of application scenarios, including but not limited to drainage, water supply, etc.
Methods of expressing pipe specifications
In pipe specifications, in addition to inches, there are other methods of expression, such as nominal diameter (DN), outer diameter (De), inner diameter (D), etc. The nominal diameter (DN) is an important parameter in the piping system. It is neither the outer diameter nor the inner diameter, but the average of the outer diameter and the inner diameter, which is called the average inner diameter. This method of expression is used to standardize the design and installation of piping systems to ensure the compatibility and interchangeability of the system.
Features
1. Diameter size
The diameter of 1 in PVC pipe is 25.4 mm, which is relatively small. Due to its small diameter, it can be easily installed in narrow spaces and is suitable for some special occasions.
2. Pressure resistance
Although the diameter is small, 1 in PVC pipe still has good pressure resistance.
3. Light and flexible
Due to its small diameter, it is relatively light and flexible. This makes installation and maintenance work more convenient and quick
4. Insulation performance
1 in PVC pipe has good insulation performance, which can effectively block the influence of external temperature on water temperature and keep the water temperature stable.
Application fields
1. Industrial field
In the industrial field, 1 in PVC pipe is often used to transport industrial raw materials, liquids and gases. Due to its small diameter, it can be easily arranged in the narrow space inside the factory to meet the needs of different production lines for liquids and gases.
2. Agricultural field
It is often used for irrigation in agricultural irrigation systems. Its small diameter is easy to move, and it can be branched and connected as needed.
3. Civil field
In the civil field, it is widely used in household tap water systems, heating systems, bathroom and kitchen equipment, etc. Its moderate diameter can meet the needs of daily household use and is easy to install.
Installation and maintenance
The following points should be noted during installation:
Ensure that the seal between the water pipe and the connector is reliable to avoid water leakage. Branch and connect according to actual needs. Avoid excessive bending or damage to the water pipe during installation
Regular inspection is required during maintenance to ensure its normal operation:
Check whether there is leakage in the water pipe, and repair and clean the inside of the water pipe in time to prevent dirt accumulation from affecting the water flow
PVC pipe has its application value in many industries due to its excellent physical properties and cost-effectiveness. Its use not only improves work efficiency but also reduces maintenance costs. It is an economical and practical piping material.
