What is Saudi Arab upvc pipe 6″ sch-40 ?
-
Saudi Arabian UPVC Pipe 6″ Sch-40 refers to Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (uPVC / UPVC) pressure pipe manufactured in Saudi Arabia according to ASTM D1785 (and often dual-rated with ASTM D2665 for drainage).
Major Saudi manufacturers include Al-Manar Plastic, Saudi Hepco, Al Tamam Modern Plastic Factory, Saudi Industries for Pipes (SIP), and others. These pipes are widely exported and commonly called “Saudi Arab UPVC” in markets like Pakistan and the Middle East.
Key Specifications (6″ Nominal, Schedule 40)
Parameter Value Notes Nominal Size 6 inch (DN 150) – Outside Diameter (OD) 6.625 inch (168.28 mm) Standard IPS (Iron Pipe Size) Wall Thickness 0.280 inch (7.11 mm) minimum Schedule 40 standard Inside Diameter (ID) Approx. 6.065 inch (154.05 mm) Approx. value Standard Length 6 meters (or 5.8 m) Common; custom lengths available Color White (most common for Sch-40) Grey also available Joint Type Solvent Cement (SC/J) or Plain/Spigot Rubber ring option in some cases Standard ASTM D1785 (Pressure) Often dual with ASTM D2665 (DWV) Pressure Rating (for water, non-shock, at 23°C / 73°F):
- Approximately 180 PSI (12.4 bar).Pressure derates at higher temperatures (e.g., significant reduction above 40-50°C).
Weight: Around 5.4–6 kg/meter (varies slightly by manufacturer).
Description & Features
- Material: Made from virgin uPVC resin — rigid, no plasticizers.
- Advantages:
- Excellent corrosion resistance (no rust, unlike steel/iron).
- Lightweight (much easier to handle than metal pipes).
- Smooth inner surface → low friction, better flow, reduced scaling.
- Chemically resistant to many acids, alkalis, and salts.
- Long service life (50+ years under proper conditions).
- Cost-effective and low maintenance.
- Limitations: Not suitable for very high temperatures (>60°C continuous) or high-pressure steam. UV exposure can make it brittle over long periods if not protected (though many have UV stabilizers).
Common Usage
Saudi-made 6″ Sch-40 uPVC pipes are used for:
- Water supply & distribution (potable and non-potable).
- Irrigation & agricultural systems.
- Drainage, sewerage, and wastewater lines.
- Industrial piping for non-corrosive fluids and chemicals.
- HVAC, ventilation, and conduit applications.
- High-rise building plumbing and underground networks.
They perform well in Saudi Arabia’s harsh climate (high temperatures, sandy soil, saline water areas) due to their corrosion resistance.
Saudi Standards & Quality
Saudi manufacturers comply with:
- SASO (Saudi Arabian Standards Organization) requirements.
- ASTM D1785 / D2241.
- Sometimes ISO 1452 or DIN equivalents.
Pipes are tested for hydrostatic pressure, impact strength, Vicat softening point, and dimensional accuracy.
Note: Always verify the exact pressure rating and markings on the pipe (it should clearly state “ASTM D1785 SCH 40” along with manufacturer info). For critical applications, request the manufacturer’s technical data sheet or test certificates.
