Frequently Asked Questions
This standard sets rules for PVC pipes and fittings used in pressurized water systems. It tells manufacturers how to make these pipes and fittings and what tests they need to pass. This ensures they’re safe and work well in things like water supply and irrigation systems.
The ASTM D1785 Standard Specification for Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) Plastic Pipe, available in Schedules 40, 80, and 120, caters to the diverse requirements of industrial, commercial, and residential piping systems. This specification encompasses pipes designed for water distribution and irrigation systems, ensuring reliability across various applications.
- PVC-U (unplasticised) is stiff and tough, resistant to most chemicals, and can handle temperatures up to 60°C.
- PVC-M (modified) is also rigid but tougher, with slightly lower strength.
- PVC (plasticised) is less stiff but has high impact strength and can be easily shaped, though it’s not as resistant to chemicals.
- PVC-C (chlorinated) is similar to PVC-U but can withstand higher temperatures, up to 95°C.
- PVC-O (Oriented PVC) is incredibly strong, with tensile strength up to double that of PVC-U, achieved through a special manufacturing process.
The orientation technique for PVC pipes was developed in the 1970s and PVC-O pipes were first installed in Australia in 1986. The molecular orientation technique is applied to the preform pipe, which result in an Oriented PVC pipe with significant improvements in the pipes mechanical properties (tensile strength, impact behavior, circumferential resistance, strain fatigue, cracks propagation, etc.).
