PVC electrical conduit pipe

PVC electrical conduit pipe is a pipe used to protect and hide wires and cables in power lines and is often called a threading pipe. It is mainly made of polyvinyl chloride resin as the main raw material, and other additives are added and extruded. It is used to protect wires and cables in industrial and construction projects below 2000V.

Function

The main function of PVC electrical conduit pipe is to protect wires, extend the service life of wires, and increase the load capacity of wires, so that wires can dissipate heat better, thereby extending the aging degree of wires. PVC electrical conduit pipe has a wide range of uses, including pipe protection for home interior decoration and water and electricity installation in construction projects. The surface film of PVC pipe is composed of paint, polyvinyl chloride, and back-coated adhesive, of which polyvinyl chloride is the main component, and its heat resistance, toughness, and ductility are enhanced by adding other components. ‌In addition, PVC electrical conduit not only enhances electrical safety, but also provides a clear path for wires, and is an indispensable part of the power system.

HDPE PVC electrical conduit pipe difference

Material: PVC electrical conduit pipe is mainly made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material, while HDPE Electrical Conduit is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material. The two materials differ in chemical structure, resulting in different physical and chemical properties.

Performance: PVC conduit has good electrical insulation and chemical corrosion resistance, and is suitable for the protection of wires and cables, especially for wire protection in home decoration. In contrast, HDPE conduit has high strength, corrosion resistance, high-temperature resistance, and wear resistance, and is more suitable for municipal engineering, construction engineering, communication engineering, and other fields.

Price: Due to the difference in raw materials and production processes, the price of HDPE electrical conduit is usually higher than that of PVC electrical conduit. This is because the cost of HDPE materials is relatively high, and HDPE conduits may require more complex processes during production.

Advantages of PVC electrical conduit pipe

1. Anti-leakage: PVC electrical conduit pipe can effectively prevent leakage, protect wires, and extend the service life of wires. ‌

2. Durable: PVC material has good durability and wear resistance, can increase the load of wires, allow wires to dissipate heat, and extend the aging of wires. ‌

3. Saving: PVC electrical conduit pipe is easy to maintain, does not require wall construction, reduces additional workload and time, reduces overall maintenance costs, and also avoids damage to indoor structures. ‌

4. Pressure resistance: It can withstand strong and high impact current and voltage, can be laid in concrete, and is not afraid of pressure cracking. In particular, the heavy-duty pipe series is suitable for concealed laying in compacted and vibrated concrete, and will not have quality problems. ‌

5. Corrosion resistance: It can resist the wear of general acids and alkalis because PVC pipes do not contain plasticizers, so they will not be affected by insects and rodents. ‌

6. Flame retardant function: after the flame is separated, the natural fire will not extend along the pipeline, and the heat transfer function is poor. In the event of a fire, it can effectively protect the line for a long time, ensure the operation of the electrical control system, and facilitate the evacuation of personnel. ‌

7. Insulation: It has excellent insulation performance and can accept the impact of high voltage without being broken down, effectively preventing the risk of leakage and ensuring the safety of users.
