High Temp Plastic Pipe

Composites materials in piping applications.

High temp plastic pipe. High temperature plastics are typically classified as materials that can exceed 250 f in continuous operating temperature aka continuous service temperature. Pe pipes pressure ratings water pressure ratings for schedule 40 and schedule 80 polyethylene plastic pipes. We have an extensive selection of pvc and cpvc pipe and fitting components ranging in size from 1 4 to 16 and dn metric sizes which includes both clear white and grey pvc pipe in schedules 40 80. Overview of high temperature plastics high temperature plastics and ceramics are available from professional plastics.

Pe pipes temperature and pressure ratings polyethylene pipe temperature and maximum operating pressure. Plastic pipes temperature derating diagram. If the operating pressure for a 6 schedule 80 cpvc pipe is 167 psi the maximum operating pressure at 150 o f 66 o c is reduced to 167 psi 0 5 83 5 psi. Cpvc pressure pipe has an upper working temperature limit of 200 f 93 c or approximately 60 f 15 c above that of type i grade i pvc.

Example higher temperature and reduced strength. Plastic pipes friction head loss friction head loss ft 100 ft in plastic pipes pvc pp pe peh. Figure 1 schematic creep rupture curve for plastic pipes at higher temperatures. Generally speaking you can expect a change of approximately 3 8 inch in length per every 100 feet of piping for every 10 degree f temperature change.

It was first introduced in north america in 2003 and is used in aluminum composite multilayer barrier tubing and solid wall tubing and pipe. This rule is typical of all pvc piping regardless of diameter. Pe rt is a high temperature flexible plastic pressure pipe with a 35 year history of successful use in the european market with extensive testing for durability and material performance. And our fittings come in a wide array of configurations including tees elbows couplings reducer bushings and many more.

Home pipe fittings cpvc pipe fittings cpvc pipe hi temp cpvc pipe schedule 40 80 hi temp cpvc pipe schedule 40 80 cpvc chlorinated polyvinyl chloride material has comparable corrosion resistance to pvc pipe yet it is suitable for handling corrosive material at temperatures 40 f to 60 f higher than pvc. The black iron hot water pipe running to the house lasted only two years and was replaced with a high temperature plastic pipe. High temperature vinyl tubing slv 105 24 from ico rally. Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride cpvc is simultaneously light flexible tough and exceptionally corrosion resistant.
