General
-
Pipe is a
tube or hollow cylinder for the conveyance of fluid, gas and sometimes other
materials. The terms 'pipe' and 'tubing' are almost interchangeable.
-
PVC pipes
have been used for more than 60 years and show that they have very
long-lasting material properties.
-
PVC pipes
are lighter than other materials and easy to install. Once installed, they
require minimal or no maintenance and upkeep.
-
PVC pipe
is such a durable material that the opportunities for large volumes of
material to recycle simply do not exist. When they are available they can be
recycled.
Manufacturing Process
-
PVC pipe
is manufactured by extrusion in a variety of sizes and dimensions and
generally sold in 10' and 20' lengths. PVC pipe is available in both solid
wall or cellular core construction.
-
Cellular
core construction involves the simultaneous extrusion of at least three
layers of material into the pipe wall: a solid outer layer, a cellular core
intermediate layer, and a solid inner layer.
-
PVC pipe
is made to conform to various ASTM standards for both pressure and
non-pressure applications.
-
The
production process of these pipes consists of extruding, welding and
cooling. There are 3 extruders in this process, which 2 of them, extrude the
Polymer layers, and the third one is responsible for extruding the bonding
layers (adhesive layers).
-
In this
pipe, the inner and outer layers are both made out of polymer, and these 2
layers are bonded to an aluminum core, by 2 adhesive layers. The pipe is
then cooled downstream and after being checked by three very accurate
cameras, it will be formed as a coil and ready to be dispatched.
Applications
-
Used
extensively in cold water delivery systems to or for buildings.
-
Formulated
as chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) pipe for use in hot and cold water
delivery systems in buildings.
-
Used in
larger diameter piping applications outside buildings for water distribution
and transmission, sanitary sewers, storm sewers and culverts and industrial
piping systems.
-
It can be
used under ground or above ground in buildings. It can also be used outdoors
if the pipe contains stabilizers and UV inhibitors to shield against
ultraviolet radiation and it is painted with a water-based latex paint.
Market
-
PVC pipes
and PE pipes are two major products in the world market. PVC pipes have been
widely acclaimed due to their excellent cost-performance for all facets of
the pipe industries.
-
The market
reputation on plastics piping systems depends on a balance between the
reliability of the installed systems and the total cost performance in
respective field of application.
-
PVC pipes
can significantly impact the size of the PVC market.
-
Currently,
for every 10% shift in the PVC pipe tubing fitting market, there is a
corresponding 5% shift in the entire PVC market.
-
In the
global market PVC pipes and fittings constitute the largest volume
application at 36% of the marketplace. Worldwide demand for these pipes is
forecasted to increase more than four percent per year.
