Big diameter pvc pipe

January 17, 2025

Big diameter pvc pipe refers to polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes with a diameter usually above 160 mm, which are widely used in many fields such as water supply, drainage, agricultural irrigation and industrial pipelines. This pipe is known for its superior physical properties, chemical stability and economy, making it one of the indispensable materials in large-scale engineering projects.

With the increasing demand for modernization projects, the market demand for Big Diameter PVC Pipe is also expanding. Its advantages in large-volume transportation and long-distance transportation are gradually being widely recognized by industries around the world.

The main features of Big diameter pvc pipe

(1) High strength and compression resistance

Big diameter pvc pipe usually needs to withstand greater internal and external pressures due to its larger diameter. To meet this demand, manufacturers use modified PVC materials or optimize wall thickness design to give it excellent compressive resistance and be able to withstand high water pressure and external loads.

(2) Corrosion resistance

PVC material has excellent chemical corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of acids, alkalis, salts and other chemical substances. It is particularly suitable for industrial sewage pipes and chemical pipe systems.

(3) Light weight and easy to construct

Compared to traditional metal pipes (such as cast iron or steel pipes), PVC pipes are lighter and easier to transport and install. This feature is particularly prominent in long-distance paving or construction in complex terrain, greatly reducing construction costs and cycles.

(4) Excellent fluid transport performance

The inner wall of the big diameter pvc pipe is smooth, which reduces the friction resistance of fluid transportation, significantly improves the transportation efficiency of water or other media, and reduces the pressure loss in the pipeline.

(5) Long life and low maintenance cost

Under normal use conditions, high-quality large-diameter PVC pipes can have a service life of more than 50 years and do not require frequent maintenance or replacement, greatly reducing operating costs.

(6) Environmental protection and recyclability

PVC pipes meet modern environmental protection requirements, do not contain heavy metals and other harmful substances, are recyclable and environmentally friendly.

Application areas

(1) Urban water supply and drainage systems

In urban infrastructure, big diameter pvc pipe is often used to transport drinking water and domestic wastewater. Its corrosion resistance ensures the safety of water quality, while its high strength enables it to withstand the pressure of underground pipe networks.

(2) Agricultural irrigation

Big diameter pvc pipe can meet the needs of large-flow water delivery in agricultural irrigation, especially in farmland with a wide irrigation area or long-distance water delivery. The high delivery efficiency and weather resistance of PVC pipes show great advantages.

(3) Industrial pipeline system

In industrial fields such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing, it is used to transport non-corrosive or weakly corrosive liquids and gases. Its corrosion resistance and long life make it the preferred choice in industrial engineering.

(4) Rainwater discharge and flood management

Big diameter pvc pipe is widely used in pipeline systems for discharging rainwater and floods, especially in areas with heavy rainfall. It can quickly and effectively remove accumulated water and reduce the risk of urban waterlogging.

(5) Cable protection

In the fields of power and communications, it is often used to protect high-voltage cables and communication optical cables. Its insulation performance and mechanical strength effectively prevent external damage to the cables.

Production process

(1) Raw material preparation

Use high-purity PVC resin and add necessary stabilizers, plasticizers and lubricants to improve material properties.

(2) Extrusion molding

The mixed PVC raw materials are heated and extruded through an extruder to form a pipe with the required diameter and wall thickness.

(3) Cooling and shaping

The newly extruded pipe needs to be cooled and shaped to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface smoothness.

(4) Quality inspection

Large-diameter PVC pipes need to undergo multiple tests, including pressure resistance test, corrosion resistance test and dimensional inspection, to ensure that their performance meets industry standards.

(5) Cutting and storage

Cut into different lengths according to customer needs and store them properly to avoid damage during transportation.
