PVC pipe is a common pipe material, and its full name is polyvinyl chloride pipe. The heat resistance, toughness and ductility of PVC pipe are enhanced by adding other ingredients. The top layer of its surface film is paint, the main component in the middle is polyvinyl chloride, and the bottom layer is back-coated adhesive. This material is widely used in various occasions due to its excellent performance and relatively low cost.
When it comes to “PVC schedule 80 pipe”, the “80” here usually refers to the wall thickness of the pipe, specifically one of the methods used in the American standard to indicate the wall thickness of the pipe. SCH80 is a specific wall thickness grade used to specify the thickness of the pipe. This is usually related to the nominal diameter of the pipe and the pressure it is subjected to.
PVC schedule 80 pipe application
PVC schedule 80 pipe is usually used in drainage systems, such as discharging domestic wastewater, rainwater, and industrial sewage. In addition, this pipe can also be used to introduce drainage lines into structures such as elevated buildings and bridges. PVC pipe is widely used in many fields due to its advantages such as easy installation, simple maintenance, long service life and low price.
1. Construction field: mainly used for drainage, ventilation, water supply, etc. In terms of drainage, PVC pipes can be used for indoor drainage, rainwater discharge, sewage treatment, etc.
2. Agriculture field: mainly used for irrigation, drainage, fertilizer transportation, etc.
3. Industry field: mainly used for transportation of chemicals, oil, natural gas, etc.
4. Transportation field: mainly used for road drainage, tunnel drainage, bridge drainage, etc.
5. Environmental protection field: mainly used for sewage treatment, garbage disposal, etc.
Advantages and Features
The advantages of PVC schedule 80 pipe are mainly reflected in its wall thickness, impact resistance, pressure resistance and application in specific environments.
1. Wall thickness: Compared with Schedule 40 PVC pipe, PVC 80 pipe has a thicker wall thickness, which provides it with better physical protection, increased durability and service life.
2. Impact and pressure resistance: PVC 80 pipe shows better performance in impact and pressure resistance tests, which means that it is more resistant to damage caused by external pressure and impact, so it is more suitable for use in environments with higher physical stress risks, such as refineries, petrochemical plants or facilities with flammable gases or dust.
3. Safety: Due to its higher wall thickness and better pressure and impact resistance, PVC schedule 80 pipe has obvious advantages in ensuring the reliability and safety of pipeline installation, especially in application scenarios that require higher safety standards.
4. Cost Considerations: Although PVC 80 pipe generally costs more than Schedule 40 pipe due to its increased wall thickness and associated higher material requirements, the investment is worth it in applications that require higher safety standards and durability.
