Slotted PVC Pipe FAQ Guide
If you still have any questions about slotted PVC pipe, why not read this guide to broad knowledge, from color to schedule number, from machine to advantages, you can find all your needs right here.
Keep reading, you can be an expert of slotted PVC pipe.
There are many ways to cut slots in PVC pipe, including saw, laser and automatic machine.
Using saw is the worst way, which not only hurt the strength of slotted PVC pipe but also has burrs and slits on slots.
Laser methods can ensure uniform and smooth slot on PVC pipe, but it has large cost of labor and energy.
Automatic PVC pipe slotting machine combines flat and compact slots of PVC pipe with lower operating costs. Filson offers laser-cutting and automatic machine to fabricate our products.
You always find “schedule” when you buy PVC, however, “schedule” is not related to time. The PVC pipe’s schedule connects to the thickness of PVC wall.
The main differences of them are lie in these sectors: water pressure rating, sizing and wall thickness, color and applications.
- Water pressure
Schedule 40 pipe is 450 psi, schedule 80 pipe is 630 and schedule 120 is 1010 psi
- Sizing and wall thickness
They may have same outside diameters, but schedule 120 pipe may suffers more limits of flow compared to schedule 40pipe.
You can fit schedule 40 pipe with schedule 80 pipe only in low pressure conditions, when in higher pressure, the cracking can appeared due to schedule 40 pipe can not resist.
- Color
Generally, schedule 40 pipe is white, schedule 80 and schedule 120 pipes are gray. PVC pipe has many color to choose, hence the best method is to check labels.
- Applications
If you are buying one for irrigation or domestic sector, the schedule 40 pipe is fully suitable. The resistance pressure of schedule 40 pipe can guarantee adequate for home applications.
In industrial, chemical and construction fields, schedule 80 pipe and schedule 120 pipe are more suitable, due to its better pressure resistance, mechanical strength and thicker walls.
Based on these information, you can choose the most suitable schedule pipe according to your applications, while saving some money.
Usually, blue pipe is widely applied in potable or drinking water, green pipe is in sewer and drain lines, purple pipe is in wastewater, which needs to disinfect and filter, and grey pipe is in water distribution line, such as water treatment, process water and chemical applications.
What’s more, ABS pipe is usually black, which has higher strength and shock resistance.
Fabricated with top grade PVC materials and sterile conditions, and smooth inside adding fine slots to avoid standing water and prevent underlying bacteria to grow on edges, corners. And it is easy to clean to lower the risk of bacteria growing.
