Industry PVC-C pipe fittings have excellent heat resistance and corrosion resistance, so they are widely used in many application fields that require high heat resistance and corrosion resistance. The following will introduce its heat resistance and corrosion resistance in detail:
Industry PVC-C pipe fittings have higher heat resistance than ordinary PVC (PVC-U) pipe fittings. PVC-C is a chlorinated polyvinyl chloride material that significantly improves its high temperature resistance while retaining the excellent physical properties of PVC.
The maximum working temperature that Industry PVC-C pipe fittings can withstand can usually reach 90°C, while the temperature resistance range of ordinary Industry PVC pipe fittings is generally only around 60°C. This allows Industry PVC-C pipe fittings to adapt to more high temperature environment requirements, especially for industries that require heat-resistant and high temperature resistant fluid transportation, such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food processing, etc.
Even for short-term temperature fluctuations exceeding 90°C, Industry PVC-C pipe fittings can withstand a certain degree of tolerance (such as short-term contact with fluids above 90°C), but long-term use in high temperature environments may cause material performance degradation.
Industry PVC-C pipe fittings have good performance at low temperatures and can work normally in an environment of -15°C to 0°C, but it should be noted that PVC-C may become brittle at low temperatures, so it should be avoided from severe impact or pressure in extreme low temperature environments.
The corrosion resistance of Industry PVC-C pipe fittings is one of its most significant advantages, which makes it widely used in the transportation of many chemically corrosive media.
PVC-C has excellent acid and alkali resistance and can resist corrosion from most acid and alkali chemicals. In many chemical treatments, sewage treatments, and industrial pipelines, PVC-C pipe fittings are often used to transport acid and alkali solutions such as sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, chloric acid, ammonia water, etc.
PVC-C has good tolerance to many organic solvents and can resist corrosion from common solvents such as alcohols, ketones, and ethers. However, for some strong solvents (such as concentrated sulfuric acid, hydrogen chloride, etc.) or environments where solvents and temperature interact, the corrosion resistance of PVC-C may be affected to a certain extent, so it is necessary to confirm the chemical corrosion resistance of the pipe fittings when using them.
PVC-C pipe fittings can work stably in water for a long time and are not corroded by water. They are widely used in water treatment systems, including the transportation of pure water, wastewater and other fluids.
PVC-C has good oxidation resistance and is not easily corroded by oxidizing substances. Therefore, when transporting fluids containing oxidants (such as bleaching powder, hydrogen peroxide, etc.), PVC-C pipe fittings can provide stable performance.
PVC-C has good corrosion resistance to seawater and can be used in marine environments, but it should be noted that long-term exposure to strong ultraviolet radiation may affect its performance, so protective measures need to be taken in outdoor applications.
PVC-C also has a certain ability to resist microbial corrosion and is not easily corroded by microorganisms such as bacteria and algae. Therefore, it is also used in systems involving high water quality requirements, such as drinking water delivery systems.
Because PVC-C pipe fittings can withstand high operating temperatures and have excellent corrosion resistance, they are particularly advantageous in transporting high-temperature chemicals. For example, chemical transmission systems in chemical plants, metallurgy, pharmaceuticals, food processing and other industries often choose PVC-C pipe fittings to ensure the long-term use and safety of pipelines.
PVC-C pipe fittings provide excellent long-term stability when handling acid and alkali solutions, corrosive wastewater, and solvent fluids, reducing the occurrence of pipeline corrosion, leakage, and other problems, thereby reducing the cost of maintenance and replacement.
PVC-C pipe fittings are suitable for use in extreme environments due to their high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, such as in high-temperature chemical equipment, hot water or steam pipelines, acid and alkali exhaust gas emission systems, etc.
Although PVC-C pipe fittings have good temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, there are some limiting factors that need to be noted:
Although PVC-C can resist most acids, alkalis, and solvents, its tolerance to certain strong oxidants (such as concentrated sulfuric acid, hydrogen chloride, etc.) may decrease, and other materials need to be selected in special circumstances.
PVC-C pipe fittings have good mechanical strength, but when used in high temperature or high pressure environments, if they are not supported or installed in the correct way, they may be deformed or damaged.
In extremely low temperature environments, the brittleness of PVC-C pipe fittings increases, so special care should be taken when using them in cold areas or extremely low temperature environments.
Industry PVC-C pipe fittings are widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, food, beverage and other industries due to their superior heat resistance and corrosion resistance. They can provide stable performance in high temperature and highly corrosive environments and adapt to a variety of complex working conditions. When choosing to use PVC-C pipe fittings, it is necessary to reasonably select the pipe fitting specifications and connection methods according to the actual application temperature, chemical media and environmental conditions to ensure the long-term stable operation of the system.
