UPVC Solvent Weld Plumbing System

Ashirvad Aqualife PVC pipes and fittings being lead free, are non-toxic and hence favoured for use in applications such as potable water.

UV RESISTANT

Ashirvad Aqualife PVC pipes and fittings are U.V. resistant. U.V. acts as a strong catalyst for the oxidation process which breaks down the polymer chains, leading to weakness in the pipes and fittings and causes loss of hydrostatic strength. Above effect is very much common with materials like PP and PE.

FIRE RESISTANT

Ashirvad Aqualife PVC pipes are inherently difficult to ignite and stops burning once the source of heat is removed. Compared to its common plastic alternatives, PVC performs better in the term of lower combustibility, flammability, flame propagation and heat release. Newly developed advantages in term of lower acid emission, smoke generation and enhanced fire resistance.

EASY TO INSTALL

Ashirvad Aqualife PVC pipes can be cut, shaped, welded and joined easily in the variety of style.

DURABLE

Ashirvad Aqualife PVC pipes and fittings are resistant to weathering, chemical rotting, corrosion, shock and abrasion. It is therefore the preferred choice for the range of customers for much different long life of outdoor products.

COST EFFECTIVE

Ashirvad Aqualife PVC pipes has been a popular material for construction applications for decades due to its physical and technical properties which provides excellent cost-performance advantages. As a material it is very competitive in term of price, this value is also enhanced by the properties such as its durability, long life & low maintenance.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Ashirvad  Aqualife PVC pipes and fittings is environment friendly. In lifecycle analyses and independent  studies, PVC’s  environmental impact has been found to be favourable  when  compared with other manufactured materials used for construction.  It is comparatively low in its energy and resource use during production, as well as in conversion to finished products.

Swimming pools

Salt water lines

Water distribution mains

Aggressive / corrosive fluid transportation

Dye plants, chrome, zinc plating and tanning plants

Sugar, paper and distillery industries

Coal washing and handling

Pipes and hand pumps

Ring lines / Down take lines

BURST PRESSURE REQUIREMENT FOR PVC FITTINGS SCH 80 ARE THE SAME AS BURST PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS OF PVC SCHEDULE 80 PIPES.

TEMPERATURE PRESSURE DE-RATING FACTOR

The operating pressure of PVC pipe will be reduced as the operating temperature increases above 23⁰C ( 73⁰F)

To calculate this reduction, multiply the operating pressure with the correction factors shown below at  a  operating temperature of system.

NOTE:-

1. Valves, unions and specialty products have different elevated temperature ratings than pipes.

2. Threaded valves should not be used at temperature above 110⁰ F (43⁰) for PVC

3. Flanged joints have a base pressure rating of  150 psi at 23⁰ C

DO NOT USE WITH COMPRESSED AIR  OR GASES.

Ashirvad Pipes does not recommend the use of thermoplastic piping product for system to transfer or store compressed air or gases , or the testing of thermoplastic piping  systems with compressed air or gases in above or underground location. The use of Ashirvad Aqualife in  compressed air or gas system automatically voids any warranty and its use against our recommendation is entirely the responsibility and liability of the installer.

BENEFITS

# Ashirvad Aqualife uPVC solvent Weld plumbing system uses NSF  (National Sanitation Foundation)  approved one-step Solvent cement specifically formulated for this use. Joining is accomplished quickly & efficiently utilizing inexpensive tools thereby greatly reducing  labour  and installation costs.

# Ashirvad Aqualife plumbing system makes its pressure bearing capacity two times of the normal threaded pipe.

Ashirvad Aqualife PVC pipes & fittings exhibit the well known physical characteristics and other benefits of conventional PVC piping  such as good chemical and corrosion resistance, low thermal conductivity, high strength-to-weight ratio, good impact resistance and of easy installation.
