PVC Transparent Pipe

PVC Transparent Pipe Manufacturer in India, it is the most frequently specified of all thermoplastic piping materials. It has been used successfully for over 60 years. PVC is characterized by distinctive physical properties, and is resistant to corrosion.

Important details about PVC Transparent Pipe manufacturing with acids, alkalis, salt solutions and many other chemicals. It is attacked, however, by polar solvents such as ketones and aromatics.

The benefits of rigid PVC piping are well documented including: lightweight, flexibility, durability, and exceptional corrosion resistance. Clear-Guard TM possesses these benefits with the addition of clarity. Our Clear-Guard provides 360° visibility for several applications including dual-containment, clean room piping, and site glass applications.

Handling & Installation Procedures

HDPE stands for High-density polyethylene. It also stands for polyethylene high-density (PEHD). It is a thermoplastic polymer that is usually originated out of monomer ethylene, also known as alkenes or polythene while utilized in the best HDPE pipe fitting.

HDPE is a smooth and elastic-plastic that creates the Best HDPE pipe perfect for handling reduced pressure, compressed curved radius conditions.

HDPE Pipes or Polyethylene (PE pipes) are classified by strength as per the magnitude of the previous technological advancement. Among the most preferred pipe in the world is HDPE pipes. As the technique of HDPE is way cheaper and simple to maintain with high-efficiency and simple procedure of integrating.

Cold Weather

Although normal installation temperatures are between 40°F (4°C) and 110°F (43°C), high strength joints have been made at
temperatures as low as –15°F (–26°C). In cold weather, solvents penetrate and soften the plastic pipe and fitting surfaces more slowly than in warm weather. In this situation, the plastic is more resistant to solvent attack and it becomes even more important to pre-soften surfaces
with an aggressive primer. Be aware that because of slower evaporation, a longer cure time is necessary.

Tips for solvent cementing in cold weather

• Prefabricate as much of the system as is possible in a heated work area.
• Store cements and primers in a warmer area when not in use and make sure they remain fluid.
• Take special care to remove moisture including ice and snow from the surfaces to be joined.
• Ensure that the temperature of the materials to be joined (re: pipe and fittings) is similar.
• Use an IPEX Primer to soften the joining surfaces before applying cement. More than one application may be necessary.
• Allow a longer cure period before the system is used. Note:A heat blanket may be used to speed up the set and cure times.

Hot Weather

There are many occasions when solvent cementing plastic pipe at 95°F (35°C) temperatures and above cannot be avoided. If special precautions are taken, problems can be avoided.Solvent cements for plastic pipe contain high-strength solvents which evaporate faster at elevated temperatures. This is especially true when there is a hot wind blowing. If the pipe is stored in direct sunlight, the pipe surface temperatures
may be 20°F to 30°F (10°C to 15°C) higher than the ambient temperature. In this situation, the plastic is less resistant
to attack and the solvents will attack faster and deeper, especially inside a joint. It is therefore very important to avoid puddling the cement inside the fitting socket and to ensure that any excess cement outside the joint is wiped off.

Tips for solvent cementing in hot weather:

• Store solvent cements and primers in a cool or shaded areaprior to use.
• If possible, store fittings and pipe or at least the ends to be solvent welded, in a shady area before cementing.
• Try to do the solvent cementing in cooler morning hours.
• Cool surfaces to be joined by wiping with a damp rag.
• Make sure that the surface is dry prior to applying solvent cement.
• Make sure that both surfaces to be joined are still wet with cement when putting them together. With large size pipe, more people on the crew may be necessary.
• Using a primer and a heavier, high-viscosity cement will provide a little more working time.
Note: During hot weather the expansion-contraction factor
may increase. Refer to the expansion-contraction design
criteria in this manual.

* The figures in the table are estimates based on laboratory tests for water applications (chemical applications may
require different set times). In damp or humid weather allow 50% more cure time (relative humidity over 60%).
Note 1: Due to the many variables in the field, these figures should be used as a general guideline only.
Note 2: Joint cure schedule is the necessary time needed before pressurizing the system.

Compatibility & Pressure Rating

IPEX Clear-Guard Clear PVC pipe is produced from a rigid, virgin Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
compound with a Cell Classification of 15334 per ASTM D1784. This material also enables Clear-Guard Clear PVC piping to carry a maximum service temperature of 140o F when appropriate temperature/pressure de-rating
factors are applied. As with our Xirtec140 PVC piping system our pressure ratings are dependent on the pipe diameter and the operating temperature of the system. As temperatures increase, the pressure rating of the system decreases. Refer to the table for de-rating
factors on our Clear-Guard pressure ratings. This material is compatible with Xirtec140 PVC pipe, fittings and valves, and can be joined into existing PVC systems using the appropriate solvent cement
joining process

Joining Techniques

IPEX Clear-Guard Clear PVC pipe manufacturer is easily joined by the solvent cementing process, providing a quick, strong, leak-tight seal for pressure applications.

To maintain the system’s clarity, IPEX recommends the use of a clear, mediumbodied, fast-setting cement in conjunction with a clear primer for optimum joint integrity.

As an added advantage due to the product’s transparency, joint integrity is readily identified during the solvent cement joining process. PVC Pipe Manufacturer- Details on proper solvent cementing techniques are available and must be reviewed for proper assembly and joint integrity.
