As a common plastic pipe, PVC pipe is widely used in many fields such as construction, industry, agriculture, etc. due to its advantages of corrosion resistance, light weight and easy installation. As a high-strength specification of PVC pipe, SCH 80 PVC pipe has become one of the preferred pipes in many demanding industries and environments due to its excellent pressure resistance and chemical resistance.
SCH 80 refers to the wall thickness category of PVC pipes, indicating that this type of pipe has thicker walls than other types of PVC pipes, so it can withstand higher pressures. SCH 80 pvc pipe dimensions usually cover different diameters and wall thicknesses to meet the requirements of different application environments. The following are common SCH 80 pvc pipe dimensions specifications:
1. Outer diameter (OD) and inner diameter (ID)
The outer diameter (OD) is the outermost size of the pipe, usually expressed in inches (in).
The inner diameter (ID) is the size of the inside of the pipe, which determines the flow capacity of the pipe.
2. Common pipe sizes
1/2 inch (0.84” OD, 0.622” ID)
3/4 inch (1.05” OD, 0.824” ID)
1 inch (1.315” OD, 1.049” ID)
1 1/4 inch (1.660” OD, 1.380” ID)
1 1/2 inch (1.900” OD, 1.610” ID)
2 inch (2.375” OD, 2.047” ID)
3 inch (3.500” OD, 3.068” ID)
4 inch (4.500” OD, 4.026” ID)
6 inch (6.625” OD, 6.026” ID)
8 inch (8.625” OD, 8.038” ID)
10 inch (10.750” OD, 10.238” ID)
12 inches (12.750” OD, 12.238” ID)
3.Wall Thickness SCH 80 pipe has a thicker wall, which provides greater pressure resistance than other standard pipes such as Schedule 40. Wall thickness varies for different pipe sizes, and generally increases with the outer diameter of the pipe. Generally, the wall thickness of SCH 80 pipe ranges from 0.090 inches to 0.500 inches, ensuring stability and safety in high-pressure environments.
1. High pressure resistance
Due to its thicker wall thickness, SCH 80 pipe can withstand higher pressure than ordinary PVC pipes. It is usually used in places with higher water pressure or air pressure, such as industrial water supply systems, high-pressure gas transmission pipelines, etc.
2. Chemical corrosion resistance
SCH 80 PVC pipe has excellent chemical resistance and can resist corrosion from most acids, alkalis and other chemicals. This makes it widely used in chemical industry, sewage treatment and other fields.
3. High temperature resistance
Although PVC pipes are generally suitable for lower temperature environments, the wall thickness and material structure of SCH 80 PVC pipes make it more heat-resistant within a certain temperature range and can adapt to some working conditions with higher temperatures.
4. Strength and durability
Due to the thicker pipe wall, SCH 80 PVC pipes are more durable in long-term use and are not easy to break or deform due to external pressure or impact. It is suitable for construction projects and industrial uses that require high strength.
5. Lightweight and easy to install
Compared with metal pipes, PVC pipes are lightweight and easy to cut and install. Even in applications with higher pressure, SCH 80 PVC pipes can simplify the installation process and reduce labor costs.
1. Industrial field
SCH 80 PVC pipes are widely used in liquid delivery systems in industrial manufacturing and chemical industries, especially for working environments that require corrosion resistance, high pressure or high temperature. It can withstand corrosion from chemical solvents, acid and alkali liquids, etc., to ensure the safety and efficiency of industrial facilities.
2. Water treatment
In the water treatment industry, SCH 80 PVC pipes are often used in sewage treatment, chemical water treatment and drinking water systems. It can effectively avoid secondary pollution of water quality and maintain stability in high-pressure environments to ensure long-term operation of the system.
3. Agricultural irrigation
In agricultural irrigation systems, SCH 80 PVC pipes have good corrosion resistance and high pressure resistance. They can be used to transport liquids such as agricultural fertilizers and pesticides to ensure the smooth operation of irrigation systems.
4. Construction field
In the construction industry, SCH 80 PVC pipes are often used in drainage systems, water supply systems and heating systems in buildings. Its strength and corrosion resistance make construction projects more stable and safe during use.
SCH 80 PVC pipes have become the preferred pipe material in many industries due to their superior performance, rich size specifications and wide application areas. By accurately selecting the size specifications that meet the needs, you can ensure the efficient operation and long service life of the pipeline system.
