Uses And Applications of Upvc High Pressure Pipes

When it comes to specialized pipes and fittings, thermoplastics have become the material of choice around the world. A modification of polyvinyl chloride known as unplasticized polyvinyl chloride, or PVC for short, is being widely used in plumbing and pipeline applications around the world. Manufactured without the addition of additional plastics which also gives the material its name, uPVC brings such advantages as higher corrosion resistance, resistance to UV radiation as well as higher strength and durability. uPVC high pressure pipes and fittings are widely used in specialized applications. Let us take a look at some of the uses and applications of pressure pipes and fittings made of uPVC:

1.    Underground drainage: uPVC high pressure pipes are also installed in underground drainage systems. Their high durability and resistance to damage from root intrusion, natural reagents in the soil as well as general wear and tear makes them a preferred choice of material for burying underground for the disposal of sewage and wastewater.

2.    Ducting: In buildings with central heating and air conditioning, uPVC high pressure pipe systems are installed. They are rigidly flexible, which makes them ideal for installing in the hard to reach spaces where ducting is to be inserted in the building. They can also be used in duct systems for underground water supply and drainage owing to the same properties.

3.    Water supply: Owing to its high resistance to corrosion, uPVC high pressure pipe is preferred for water supply distribution systems in domestic, commercial and industrial applications. Most uPVC pipes and uPVC fittings manufacturers in India also use food grade and lead-free material for these pipes, which makes them ideal for the supply of safe and potable water.

4.    Agricultural uses: The various properties of uPVC pressure pipes also make them an ideal choice for on-site installations in agricultural applications. They are able to withstand high pressure required for irrigating fields as well as show minimal chance of leakage even after prolonged exposure to the outdoor conditions, making them an apt choice for such installations.
