Abrasion Resistance
PVC pipes exhibit outstanding resistance to wear and abrasion. PVC pipe has proven more durable than metal, concrete and clay pipe for the transport of abrasive slurries. PVC is extremely tough and its abrasion resistance has been confirmed by numerous studies and over 50 years of proven service. Flexibility - The flexibility of technocore pipes allow them to cope with soil movements, subsidence and expansive clays Handling/Installation - The ease of handling, installation and transport provide overall project savings. Easily Machined/Cut - It may be cut and machined with simple tools, ready for jointing, anywhere on the pipe barrel.
Rubber Ring Joints
The rubber ring joint is integrally moulded on one end of the pipe. The joint incorporates a factory fitted rubber sealing ring which is retained in position by a polypropylene lock ring. The opposite (spigot) end of the pipe is chamfered and has a “depth of entry’’ mark near the end. Each joint is capable of handling some expansion and contraction as well as angular deflection. The seal ring is designed to provide a watertight joint at high and low pressures.
Solvent Weld Joint
Solvent cement jointing is a welding process and not a glueing process. If done correctly, separation will not be possible after the curing period. Jointing of pipe should be an interference fit between the components before solvent cement is applied. There are different solvent cements available for applications. Be sure to use the correct cement and that it has not “dried out’’ prior to use.
