uPVC ASTM-D PIPES & FITTINGS.
RAKSHA uPVC ASTM-D Pipes & Fittings are an innovatively designed piping system for Cold Water application only. It has an array of advantages which promise low thermal conductivity, fire resistance, chemical and corrosion free pipes. They are strong, durable, long lasting and cost effective when compared to other materials. These pipes are resistant to weathering environmental, shock and abrasion. These pipes are lead free making it ideal for transporting food and consumable liquids.
Sizes : 15mm to 100mm.
SALIENT FEATURES
uPVC ASTM-D Pipes
- Rugged, tough yet light in weight
- Easy to handle and install.
- Manufactured from high quality PVC compound.
- Low pipe expansions when compared to other materials.
- Entirely non-toxic and free from lead or heavy metal.
- suitable for potable water applications and free from bad odor and taste.
- Fire resistance and self extinguishing.
- Even surface ensure extremely low friction loss and scaling.
- Excellent corrosion and chemical resistance to mostly all acidic and alkaline solutions.
- Moulded with accuracy to match the pipes.
- Easy cold welding process faster installation.
APPLICATION
Application for uPVC ASTM-D Pipes
- Swimming pools. Delivers clean potable water.
- Pipes & fittings for hand-pumps.
- Saline water transportation.
- Industrial applications.
- Appropriate for sugar & paper industries.
- Piping system for chemicals ( for specified chemicals & cold temp ).
PLAIN END PIPES
SOLVENT WELD PLAIN END PIPES
- As per ASTM-D 1785 in SCHD-40 & SCHD-80 series.
- These pipes are plain at both the ends to be joined with ASTM-D 2467 fittings.
THREADED FITTINGS
SOLVENT WELD THREADED FITTINGS
- As per AST-D 2467 n Schedule 80 series.
- Fittings for ASTM plain ended pipes are available in SCHD-80 series in white colour.
- They are joint by use of heavy duty solvent cement, is a permanent homogenous joint.
- Such type of a joint is also referred as cold welding.
JOINING PROCESS
SOLVENT CEMENT JOINING PROCESS
- Cutting the pipe straight of required length.
- Remove burrs from outer and inner side of the pipe before applying the cement.
- Check to be sure for a proper fit and mark with the marker.
- Pipes should go at least 1/3 rd of the way before any interference occur.
- Check pipe and fitting to ensure no dirt, foreign matter or moisture.
- Apply cement to the outside wall of the pipe to the depth of the marking.
- Apply cement in the inner wall of the fitting but do not puddle cement into it.
- Insert the pipe into the fitting with a quarter turn, making sure it is evenly distributed.
- Hold for 60 second to ensure proper fusion as the joins began to set.
- Wipe of excess cement with clean and dry cloth.
- Allow the joints to cure for 24 hours completely before applying water pressures.
- Visual inspection of complete system is recommended during pressure testing.
- When the system is to be concealed, it should be pressure tested before concealment.
- This system is not recommended for geyser outlets and hot water supply.
