What is Steelex cpvc pipe 1″ sch40 ?

 

The Steelex CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) 1″ Schedule 40 pipe performs well in high-performance settings and is commonly used for distributing hot and cold water.
Its excellent heat resistance and durability make it suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Below is a brief overview of the product:

Advantages:

• High Temperature and Pressure Capacity: Steelex CPVC 1″ Schedule 40 pipes can handle high temperatures and pressures, making them ideal for hot water supply.
• Corrosion Resistance: CPVC is not susceptible to corrosion, unlike metal pipes, providing longer service life, especially in areas with aggressive water chemistry.
• Cost-Effective: CPVC pipes are generally more affordable than copper or metal piping systems and offer a lower total cost due to reduced maintenance and long-term durability.
• Non-toxic: CPVC is safe for transporting drinking water, and it doesnt leach harmful chemicals into the water supply.
• Fire Retardant: CPVC has self-extinguishing properties, which makes it safer for use in residential and industrial settings.

Description:

• Material: Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC), a thermoplastic known for its higher temperature tolerance compared to regular PVC.
• Size: 1-inch nominal diameter.
• Schedule 40 Rating: Schedule 40 refers to the pipe’s wall thickness. The “40” schedule indicates that the pipe has a standard wall thickness, providing a good balance between strength and flexibility.
• Color: Typically light grey or off-white.
• Length: Available in standard lengths (usually 10 or 20 feet) but can be cut as needed.
• Standards Compliance: CPVC pipes like Steelex often meet ASTM D1785 standards (for PVC and CPVC plastic pipes) and ASTM F441 standards (for CPVC pressure-rated pipes).

Properties:

• Temperature Resistance: CPVC can handle temperatures up to 200F (93C), making it suitable for hot water distribution.
• Pressure Rating: At 73F, a 1″ CPVC Schedule 40 pipe typically has a pressure rating around 450 psi. As temperature increases, the pressure rating decreases (e.g., it can handle about 100 psi at 180F).
• Corrosion Resistance: CPVC is highly resistant to corrosion from chemicals, chlorinated water, and mineral deposits, ensuring a longer lifespan than metal pipes.
• Smooth Inner Surface: CPVC pipes have a smooth inner surface, which reduces friction, helps maintain water flow, and minimizes scaling and pressure loss.
