Important Applications of uPVC Pressure Pipes

Since the middle of the twentieth century, when polyvinyl chloride was put into use for manufacturing an alternate to metal pipes to provide a non-rusting, corrosion resistant and leakproof solution for water pipelines, thermoplastics have become extremely popular for use in plumbing and sanitation networks. One of the modifications that PVC has undergone over the years is known as unplasticized PVC or uPVC. They have many useful properties which makes uPVC pressure pipes the specialized solutions for a number of applications. Listed below are some of the applications of UPVC pressure pipes:

1.    Like all other thermoplastics, uPVC pipes and fittings show high resistance to chemical corrosion against a wide range of acids and salts. uPVC high pressure pipe systems are widely used for supplying potable drinking water to homes and commercial establishments on account of their chemical inertness.

2.    uPVC fittings manufacturers in India manufacture these pipes and fittings from odourless and tasteless materials, which makes them ideal for the transportation of any type of fluid without causing contamination of the same. For this same reason, they can also be used for the transportation of certain gases and even potable water without causing any hazardous leaks or contamination respectively.

3.    The chemical resistance of uPVC pressure pipes and fittings and their non-metallic construction makes them a suitable choice for discharge of drain and wastewater as well as for sewer pipelines.  

4.    uPVC pipes are also used for the manufacture of raising main pipelines in tube and borewells and also for downpipes in many gutter and roof drainage systems. Their strength, durability and high pressure functionality makes them the ideal choice for these applications.

5.    One of the properties of uPVC pressure pipes is that they have a smooth inner surface and do not allow any kind of deposit on the inner surface. This property is why they are widely used for the discharge of sewage which is to be accomplished at high pressure levels.

6.    uPVC pipes are also used in electrical installations are they are flame-retardant and non-conductive to combustion.
