Upvc Piping, Upvc Pressurize Piping, And Upvc Underground Piping Distinctive Characteristic

The main difference between uPVC piping, uPVC pressurized piping, and uPVC underground piping is based on the specific applications' needs for internal or external pressure adaptations. Each type of uPVC piping shows the same fundamental characteristics as PVC plastic. However, it works for different environmental conditions and functions differently. Selecting the right type of uPVC piping can ensure optimal performance.

uPVC NON PRESSURIZE PIPING

• uPVC piping applications are designed to be exposed to the above external ground surface environment and embedded within the building wall structure.
• uPVC piping is usually used for residential, commercial, and industrial applications such as water discharge drainage, irrigation, or ventilation.
• The uPVC piping is lightweight and highly corrosion resistant, making it an ideal choice for delivering fluid.

​uPVC UNDERGROUND PIPING

• ​uPVC underground piping is specifically designed to withstand the impact imposed by being embedded below the ground surface.
• The uPVC underground piping is designed with additional functionality to withstand underneath soil conditions such as external pressing pressures and potential ground movements.
• uPVC underground piping's robust design and ability to resist breakage make it suitable for sewage systems and drainage applications that require installation beneath the ground surface.

uPVC PRESSURIZE PIPING

• uPVC pressurized piping, which is designed for pressurized water systems.
• uPVC pressurized piping material is produced to sustain internal pressure effectively.
• This makes uPVC pressurized piping an excellent choice for applications involving incoming water flows directly from the water pressure pump.

What is the differences between uPVC pipe and PVC pipe?

• The difference between uPVC pipe and PVC pipe is that PVC contains phthalates and BPA.
• Both of these materials are plasticizers which makes them more flexible.
  
• The letter "u" in uPVC in turn means "not plastic," because it does not have such additives.
• PVC pipes are used as a substitute for aluminum and copper pipes.
• PVC is also used in irrigation systems and sewers as well as pond circulation systems.
• It is very easy to cut into small pieces and can be fastened tightly with glue.
• This makes it a high quality substitute to metal.
• UPVC is known for its process in resisting chemical corrosion, so it is often used for plastic pipes.
• UPVC has a smoother inner wall that helps to push the flow of water.
• It also works well in a wide temperature range.
• UPVC pipes are used for operating pressure.
• It is an incredible cost and is often used for external drainage pipes and sewers.
• The main applications of both PVC and uPVC pipes are pipes.
• Often, PVC pipes are used as a substitute for aluminum or copper pipes in plumbing, irrigation and pond circulation systems.
• Since PVC pipe is not rigid, it is very easy to cut according to the desired length and can be fastened with glue.
• As for uPVC pipes, they can be used in heavy duty water transport and in the construction industry.
• UPVC waste pipe have high tensile strength and are resistant to chemicals.
