CPVC Hot Water Pipe (IS/ASTM Standard)

CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) Hot Water Pipes manufactured to IS/ASTM standards offer an advanced solution for high-temperature and high-pressure water distribution systems. These pipes are designed to meet rigorous performance requirements in both residential and industrial applications. Below are key technical features of CPVC Hot Water Pipes and how they address common issues faced in piping systems.

Materialien

CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) is durable and heat-resistant.

Surface Finishes

Smooth, non-abrasive surface to reduce friction and wear.

Compliance Standards

Meets IS 15778, ASTM D2846, ASTM F441, NSF 61, and ISO 15874 standards.

Cross-Section Area (A)

The area varies with pipe diameter, typically around 0.33 cm² for 20mm.

Mass per Meter (m)

Varies by diameter, approximately 0.23 kg/m for 20mm CPVC pipe.

Product Description

CPVC Hot Water Pipes are engineered for superior thermal stability, enabling them to consistently perform under high-temperature conditions, typically up to 93°C (200°F). CPVC does not become brittle or deform at elevated temperatures, unlike other plastic materials. The enhanced chlorination process used in the production of CPVC allows the material to pflegen its structural integrity, ensuring long-term functionality in hot water systems.

Moment of Inertia (Ix / Iy)

Calculated by pipe diameter and wall thickness, expressed in cm⁴.

Section Modulus (Zx / Zy)

Varies by pipe size, typically between 1.0 to 12.0 cm³ for standard sizes.

Radius of Gyration (ix / iy)

Typically ranges from 2.0 to 6.0 cm based on pipe dimensions.

Max. Axial Load (Euler Buckling)

Axial load can reach up to 2000 N, depending on pipe size.

Max. Load at Slot (Shear Test)

Typically 1500 N for 20mm diameter pipe, subject to wall thickness.

Torsional Constant (J)

Ranges between 0.05 cm⁴ to 0.20 cm⁴ based on pipe size.

Max Torque (Torsional Load Limit)

Maximum torque varies; typically around 2.5 Nm for 20mm pipe.

Elastic Deflection (100 N Load)

Deflection typically 2mm for 20mm diameter pipes under a 100 N load.

Dynamic Load Rating

Rated for continuous dynamic load; specific values depend on pipe size.

Compatibility Tolerance

Tolerance typically ±0.1 mm for diameter and wall thickness accuracy.

Machining Precision Grade

High precision, within 1% tolerance for pipe diameter and thickness.

Fatigue Life (Slot Edge)

Tested for 10⁶ cycles with minimal degradation at slot edges.

Thermal Expansion (ΔL @ ΔT=50°C)

0.07 mm/m°C expansion under a 50°C temperature change.

Slot Pull-Out Resistance

High resistance to pull-out, ensuring strong and durable connections.

Max Load Bearing at Corner Joint

The maximum load bearing capacity at corner joints is determined by pipe diameter and wall thickness.

Technical Advantages

One of the key advantages of CPVC over metal piping systems is its inherent corrosion resistance. Traditional metal pipes, such as steel or copper, are prone to rust and scaling, especially in environments with high chlorine levels or aggressive water chemistry. CPVC Hot Water Pipes, by contrast, are chemically inert, making them immune to galvanic and electrolytic corrosion.

CPVC Hot Water Pipes are designed to handle high internal pressures. They comply with IS and ASTM pressure resistance standards, ensuring that they can withstand the demands of both residential and industrial systems. The pressure rating of CPVC pipes ensures they remain intact even in systems with high-pressure requirements, such as multi-story buildings or high-flow applications.

Industrial Water Systems

Ideal for transporting hot water in industrial processes, withstanding high temperatures and chemical exposure without degradation.

Commercial Building Systems

Utilized in commercial properties for efficient hot water delivery, offering reliable performance in high-demand applications.

Solar Water Heating Systems

Employed in solar thermal systems for hot water transport, offering resistance to temperature fluctuations and UV exposure.

Aquatic Heating Systems

Suitable for swimming pool and spa heating systems, ensuring corrosion-free transport of heated water over extended periods.

Hot Water Circulation Loops

Used in recirculation systems, maintaining consistent water temperatures and minimizing energy loss in large-scale systems.

Simplified Installation Process

The installation of CPVC pipes is facilitated by their lightweight design and ease of joining. Unlike metal pipes requiring welding or threading, CPVC pipes are joined using a simple solvent cementing process, reducing the need for specialized tools and extensive labor. The solvent weld creates a secure, leak-proof joint without the risk of joint failures due to corrosion or stress cracking.

CPVC hot water pipes are designed for low maintenance and long-term performance. Once installed, these pipes do not require regular upkeep or servicing. Unlike metal systems, CPVC pipes do not need periodic inspections for rust, scaling, or leaks. Their resistance to these common issues ensures that the system remains operational.
