What is Hydroplast sch 80 upvc Elbow 10″ ?

 

A Hydroplast Schedule (SCH) 80 uPVC 10″ elbow is a large-diameter fitting designed for industrial applications requiring high pressure and a change in fluid direction. It is made from un plasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC), a robust and rigid material that lacks the plasticizers found in standard PVC. This makes it more durable and resistant to impact.

These fittings are typically a dark gray color to differentiate them from white Schedule 40 fittings. Installers join them to pipes using a socket and solvent cement, creating a strong, leak-proof connection that withstands demanding environments.

Key features include:

• High-Pressure Rating: The thick walls of Schedule 80 uPVC fittings allow them to handle significantly higher pressures than their Schedule 40 counterparts.
• Chemical and Corrosion Resistance: uPVC is highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals, acids, and alkalis, making it suitable for conveying various fluids without degradation. It does not rust or corrode.
• Smooth Interior Surface: The smooth walls of the fitting minimize fluid friction, which helps maintain a consistent flow rate and prevents scale buildup.
• Durability and Long Service Life: With proper installation, Schedule 80 uPVC systems are known for their longevity and low maintenance requirements.

Detailed Specifications (10″ Elbow)

The specifications for a 10″ Schedule 80 uPVC elbow are determined by industry standards, such as ASTM D-2467, which outlines the requirements for socket-type uPVC plastic pipe fittings.

• Material: uPVC (Un plasticized Polyvinyl Chloride)
• Nominal Size: 10 inches
• Connection Type: Socket x Socket (SxS), for solvent welding
• Standard: ASTM D-2467
• Dimensions: While specific dimensions may vary by manufacturer, a standard 10″ Schedule 80 elbow has a nominal outside diameter (OD) of 10.750 inches and a minimum wall thickness of approximately 0.593 inches. The inside diameter is smaller due to the thick walls, which can be around 9.493 inches.
• Working Pressure at 73°F (23°C): The maximum working pressure for a 10″ Schedule 80 uPVC pipe is approximately 230 PSI at a standard temperature of 73°F (23°C).
• Working Temperature Range: uPVC has a maximum operating temperature of 140°F (60°C).

Important Note on High Temperature:

The pressure rating of uPVC fittings decreases significantly as the fluid temperature increases. In “high temperature” applications, uPVC is typically effective up to its maximum operating temperature of 140°F (60°C). As the temperature increases above 73°F (23°C), the pressure handling capacity decreases, or “de-rates,” for each additional degree.

Usage and Applications

Engineers use a 10″ Hydroplast SCH 80 uPVC elbow in systems that transport large volumes of fluid under high pressure. . These include:

• HVAC Systems: Used in large-scale chilled water systems where high flow and pressure are required.
• Industrial Fluid Handling: Transporting a variety of chemicals, industrial wastewater, and other fluids that would corrode metal pipes.
• Water and Wastewater Treatment: Essential for the infrastructure of municipal and industrial water treatment plants.
• Process Piping: Utilized in industries like chemical processing, mining, and power generation for robust and reliable fluid transport.
