Polyvinyl chloride-U (PVC-U) pipes offer a reliable solution for demanding industrial applications as plasticizer-free chemical pipes. The smooth inner surfaces ensure linear flow of various media at operating temperatures from -15 °C to +60 °C.

Technical Properties and Pressure Resistance

THOMAVINYL pipes achieve maximum pressure loads between 10 and 16 bar, depending on the respective pipe dimension. Smaller cross-sections enable higher pressure values. Against water, PVC-U pipes with 50 mm diameter show complete resistance up to 60 °C, while at temperatures up to 100 °C only limited resistance exists.

Versatile Application Areas

In chemical process technology, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, PVC-U pipes find wide application as insulating and cable protection pipes. Corrugated pipe variants are particularly suitable for vibrating connection systems in apparatus construction. The plasticizer-free composition enables the conveyance of alkalis, acids, oxidizing agents, mineral oils and fats.

Chemical Resistance and Limitations

PVC-U shows excellent resistance against many aggressive media, but is not resistant to aromatic and halogenated solvents. This property must be considered when selecting media.

Available Product Variants

• PVC-U pressure pipes
• PVC-U corrugated pipes

Corrugated pipes are available in nominal widths of 10 mm, 12 mm, 14 mm, 16 mm and 17 mm and offer flexible solutions for complex installations.

PVC-U pipes and other products, such as fittings for rigid hoses and pipes, are available directly in the online shop of RCT Reichelt Chemietechnik. The range of RCT Reichelt Chemietechnik offers over 80,000 different products, which are used among others in mechanical engineering, chemical technology, process engineering as well as medical technology.
