PVC-U
PVC-U is a Polyvinylchloride without plasticizers that is extremely suitable for very wide applications, such as:
- Chemical installations
- Portable water applications
- Food and beverage industry
- Sanitary and swimming pool technology
- Irrigation
The main advantages of PVC-U are:
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Corrosion resistance
- Easy installation
- Durability
- Low maintenance
Pressure and temperature diagram
PVC-U has very good properties in a temperature range of 0°C to 60°C. At lower temperatures the impact resistance clearly decreases.
Figure 1
Figure 1 shows the maximum operating pressure for PN16, PN10 and PN6 fittings. This information is based on a lifespan of 50 years with a safety factor of 2.5.
Chemical Resistance
The chemical resistance of PVC-U depends on the conditions of use and must be assessed for each situation.
For more information, see the chemical resistance list.
Dimensions and standards PVC-U
The fittings correspond to the following standards:
- DIN 8063
- ISO 727
- KIWA nr. BRL-K 504
