Abstract

As far as pipes are concerned, mainly metallic pipes have been used so far. With the development of synthetic resin industry, however, synthetic resin pipes have also been developed. The development of its molding technology has greatly improved the performance of synthetic resin pipes, replacing metallic pipes rather significantly. The mainstay of the synthetic resin pipes is the rigid pvc pipe, being especially useful for transporting strongly corrosive chemicals and gases because of its superb resistance to corrosion. The rigid pvc pipe is non-toxic and in no way reacts with the fluid being transported nor affects the taste, flavor and color. Besides, smoothness of the interior surface of the pipe precludes any pressure loss related to fluid flow or occurrence of the deposit or scale which interfere with the fluid flow. Being flameproof, the pvc pipe is free from the hazard of fire. It is electrically an insulator and electrolytic corrosions, which frequently occur in metallic pipes, can be prevented. Particularly, since it has a large tensile strength and flexible, the pvc pipe is not subject to pressing or denting by pressure. It is light and makes its transportation and subsequent piping relatively easy.
