The applications of PVC pipes are wide and different. The main ones are: Drinking Water, Sewage & drainage and Cable ducts.
Drinking Water
Pipes for the distribution of drinking water under pressure are generally made of PVC and have a medium size diameter. The main characteristic is the long-term resistance to pressure. In fact, this kind of pipes connects drinking water reservoirs with domestic supply lines. Generally, PVC has a good temperature resistance, and they insulate on their own not like copper that is a conductor. One of the major advantages is the corrosion resistance to water presence. For a PVC drinking water pipe there is needed less energy in the extrusion process it due to the light weight of this product. The transportation is also easier than copper thanks to the light weight of PVC pipes. Last, but not less important, PVC drinking water pipes are recyclable with Bausano extrusion lines to produce new and equal quality products.
Sewage & Drainage
Sewage and drainage pipes are produced for the collection and evacuation of wastewater. They generally have a large diameter and can be made of compact PVC or have structured walls because they are intended to be buried horizontally in the ground. The market for drainage and sewage pipe is more and more strict and demanding of quality and solidity. These kinds of pipes are used to remove rain from the streets but are used also for construction and building. The pipes need to be of high quality and robust to transport waste and withstand the pressure of water transport. In addition, PVC drainage pipes can often be installed without heavy equipment reducing the time required for connecting the parts and the overall cost of project. Like for any kind of pipe, PVC sewage & drainage pipes are not expensive, are corrosion resistant and have high pressure tolerance, moreover they are easy to transport and install in site.
Cable Ducts
Protection of power lines, cable for telecommunications or data transmission is more than ever critical nowadays. Pipes for cable protection are generally made of compact PVC. The PVC Protection Pipe guarantees reliability, security and is easy to install. The PVC cable ducts can be corrugate, smaller in size or smooth pipes. The sectors of interest for the PVC cable ducts extrusion are:
- Automotive sector,
- Electrical industry or
- Construction sector
The most important characteristic of PVC cable ducts is that it must have a good external protection. Bausano’s pipes, or cable ducts in PVC material are of high quality, light and offer an excellent external protection, so that the electrical cables are protected from being damaged.
