What is upvc Elbow 3″ GM Local ?

 

• A “3″ uPVC Elbow” means a fitting made of un-plasticized PVC (uPVC) with a nominal pipe size of 3 inches (IPS / Iron Pipe Size or similar) used to change direction in a piping system (commonly 90° or 45°).

• “Schedule 40” (Sch 40) describes a wall-thickness / pressure-rating standard for rigid PVC/uPVC piping and fittings.

• It will typically have either plain socket ends (to accept solvent-cemented pipe) or belled ends, depending on manufacturer.

• This fitting is widely used in plumbing, water supply, irrigation or chemical services (depending on compatibility) where uPVC is acceptable.

Typical Specifications upvc Elbow 3″ GM Local

Here are typical specification items you’d expect for a 3″ uPVC Sch 40 elbow. Your local manufacturer (for example in Pakistan / South Asia) may have slightly different values — always refer their datasheet.

Material & Standards

• Material: uPVC (rigid poly-vinyl chloride), often cell classification 12454-B (or as per ASTM D1784) for potable-rated material.

• Pipe/fitting standard: For Schedule 40 uPVC systems, typical applicable standards include:

  • ASTM D1785 for pipe (uPVC) Sch 40 & Sch 80.

  • ASTM D2466 for socket-type fittings Sch 40.

• Color: Usually white (or sometimes grey) for uPVC.

• Ends: Socket or belled ends designed for solvent-cemented joints.

• Angle: Common versions are 90° elbows; other angles (e.g., 45°) exist.

Dimensions

For a 3″ nominal size (Sch 40) uPVC system:

• Outside diameter (OD) for 3″ IPS is roughly 3.500″ (≈ 88.9 mm) as per typical tables.

• Wall thickness: For Sch 40, for 3″ size typical minimum wall thickness approx. ~0.216″ (~5.49 mm) from uPVC tables.

• Socket depth, fitting dimension, etc vary by manufacturer; the catalogue from one brand shows socket length minimum ~1.875″ for 2½″ size, larger for 3″ size.

Pressure Rating & Temperature

• Pressure rating at 23 °C (≈73 °F) for uPVC Sch 40 pipe/fittings: for 3″ size, the table shows max working pressure values (e.g., approx 33.04 kg/cm² or ~470 psi) for certain sizes — note this is for pipe, actual fitting rating may be slightly different; this value is straight from the table for pipe.

• As temperature increases, allowable pressure decreases (“derating factors”).

• Note: uPVC is not suitable for very high temperatures (e.g., > 60 °C) without specific ratings.

Chemical & Environmental Resistance

• uPVC offers good resistance to many acids, alkaline, salts, paraffinic hydrocarbons.

• But you must verify compatibility for aggressive chemicals (solvents, strong oxidizers, etc).

• Also, caution for UV exposure (sunlight) and long-term ageing if exposed externally or in hot climates.
