Synopsis
Water may be conveyed through pipeline by gravity flow or pumping method. From metal to thermoplastic pipes, these has been laying around above and underground to supply water to the consumers since ages ago. Distinctions in the manufacturing process of the pipes and the type of pipes have evolved from time to time. PVC-O was invented during the late 1970s. The latest patented technology to produce PVC-O at the highest degree of orientation which is class 500 and also, with an integrated socket system uses an air-based system. PVC-O is made by realigning the PVC molecules through a process of orientation. This greatly enhances the material properties – around twice the strength and ten times the impact resistance is achieved compared to traditional PVC-U material. The result is that PVC-O has a larger bore offering greater hydraulic capacity; the pipe is manufactured with significantly less embodied energy and is more material-efficient compared to other pipe options. The orientation process imparts high strength at maximum material efficiency. It is the most eco-friendly pipe system in the world as it requires less energy to produce than conventional PVC-U and other pipe materials. It also uses less energy in service than all other pipe types. Considering their relatively low weight, PVC-O pipes are strong, robust, and durable.
