Allowing for length changes in PVC pipeline :

Determining the change in length:
The first step in calculating the required length of the flexible section is to determine the extent of the change in length.
This is given by the following formula.

ΔL = L . ΔT . 0.08

where:
ΔL = change in length in mm
L = length in m of pipe or pipe section for which length change is to be determined.
ΔT = difference in C between the installation and the maximum or minimum operating temperature.
0.08 = Coefficient of linear expansion for PVC in mm / m C

Pipe bracket spacing and supporting PVC pipelines

1. General

plastic pipeline need to be supported at certain intervals, which depend on several factors, the material, the average pipe wall temperature, the density of the medium the size and wall thickness of the pipe.
The determination of the spacing between pipe brackets has been based on the permissible deflection of the pipe between consecutive brackets . the figures in table 1 are based on a maximum permissible deflection of 0.25 cm between consecutive brackets for PVC pipes of pressure ratings PN 10 PN 16.

2. pipe bracket spacing for fluids of density ≤ 1 g / cm³

Which material is suitable ?
Why use EEPCO U-PVC pipe Fittings ?

The choice of material and the pressure rating of the pipe components are important for both operating safety and attaining the specified minimum operational life of the system. The decisive factors are:

Operating pressure , operating temperature, the medium transported and the duration of service.
