As an international leading company in the molecular orientation of PVC, Molecor provides comprehensive support to its customer’s business through the latest available technology, as a result of the continuous R & D process with individual and monitored projects.
PVC-O pipes design criteria
PVC-O pipe specifications for a certain working pressure are regulated mainly by ISO 16422:2006 and ASTM F 1483-05, although there are several national PVC-O pipe standards.
The parameters considered are:
Long-term hydrostatic strength (σLPL) for 50 years at 20ºC: Quantity with the unit of stress, MPa, which can be considered to be a property of the material under consideration. It represents the 97.5% lower confidence limit for the long-term hydrostatic strength and equals the predicted average strength at a temperature of 20ºC and for a time of 50 years with internal water pressure.
Why it is so unique?
The oriented PVC material is significantly stronger and tougher than PVC-U and therefore provides better performance overall. It is approximately twice the strength and ten times more impact resistant than PVC-U!
For how long has PVC-O been in existence?
PVC-O is a product that was first manufactured at the end of the 1970's. Since then, many technical improvements have arisen to improve productivity and make it profitable. Molecor Technology has developed the latest technology to be highly profitable for pipe manufacturers together with the rest of the water industry participants.
