PVC-C General Characteristics
PVC-C, developed by BF Goodrich, is a high-performance resin known for its thermal stability and chemical resistance, suitable for transporting hot corrosive fluids and domestic water systems. It offers high chemical resistance, optimal thermal and mechanical properties, and fire resistance.
Reference Standards
TemperFIP100® PVC-C lines adhere to ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 standards, including ANSI B16.5, ASTM D1784, ASTM F437, and EN ISO 15493, ensuring compliance with quality and environmental regulations.
Approvals and Quality Marks
TemperFIP100® PVC-C products are certified by international bodies such as ABS, ACS, Bureau Veritas, DNV-GL, and others, confirming their suitability for water systems on ships and compliance with safety and quality standards.
Solvent Welding InstructionsSolvent welding involves joining PVC-C pipes and
fittings using solvent cements. The procedure includes cutting, chamfering, cleaning, and applying solvent cement, with detailed steps and recommendations for effective welding.
Specifications and Procedures
Testing up to PN 16 requires a minimum of 24 hours. Solvent cement setting times are valid at approximately 25°C. Insertion, solvent welding, and chamfer lengths are specified for various diameters.
Warnings and Recommendations
Ensure proper insertion and application of cleaner-primer and solvent cement to avoid joint failures. Use TemperGLUE/Weld-On 724 and Primer P70 for aggressive chemical fluids. Follow safety precautions and perform joining operations within +5°C to +40°C.
Common Defects
Solvent cement issues and incorrect pipe insertion can lead to joint failures and leaks.
