What is Pipe 6″ uPVC SDR41 Popular ?

 

The specialized type of un plasticized polyvinyl chloride (UPVC) pipe known as “The 6” UPVC SDR 41 pipe is designed to meet the SDR (Standard Dimension Ratio) standard of 41.
This classification signifies the pipe’s wall thickness in relation to its diameter, rendering it appropriate for a range of applications, especially in plumbing, drainage, and irrigation systems.

Understanding uPVC and SDR

• uPVC (Un plasticized Polyvinyl Chloride):
  • A rigid form of PVC known for its strength, durability, and resistance to chemicals, corrosion, and environmental factors.
  • Commonly used in piping systems for water supply, sewage, and industrial applications.
• SDR (Standard Dimension Ratio):
  • The ratio of the pipe’s outer diameter (OD) to its wall thickness.
  • SDR 41 indicates a higher wall thickness compared to higher SDR numbers (e.g., SDR 64), making it capable of handling higher pressures.

Technical Specifications

• Diameter:
  • Nominal Diameter: 6 inches (150 mm)
  • Outer Diameter (OD): Typically around 168.3 mm for a 6-inch pipe, but this can vary slightly based on manufacturing standards.
• Wall Thickness:
  • The calculation for the wall thickness of SDR 41 is as follows: Wall Thickness = OD / SDR = 168.3 mm / 41, which is approximately 4.11 mm. The exact wall thickness may vary slightly due to specific manufacturing tolerances.
• Pressure Rating:
  • SDR 41 pipes have been designed to handle higher internal pressures compared to pipes with higher SDR numbers.
  • Suitable for applications requiring moderate to high pressure resistance, often up to approximately 8-10 bar (specific ratings depend on exact material properties and standards).
• Material Properties:
  • High chemical resistance.
  • UV resistant if specially formulated.
  • Long service life, typically 50+ years under normal conditions.

3. Comparison: SDR 41 vs. SDR 64

• Wall Thickness:
  • SDR 41: Thicker walls, higher pressure capacity.
  • SDR 64: Thinner walls, suitable for lower pressure applications.
• Applications:
  • SDR 41: High-pressure water supply, industrial applications, certain sewage systems.
  • SDR 64: General water distribution, drainage, irrigation, and low-pressure sewage systems.
• Strength:
  • SDR 41 offers greater structural integrity and resistance to external loads compared to SDR 64.
