Operating Temp (°F) |
De-Rating Factor |
|
The pressure ratings given are for water, non-shock, @ 73°F. The following temperature de-rating factors are to be applied to the working pressure ratings (W.P.) listed when operating at elevated temperatures.
Multiply the working pressure rating of the selected pipe at 73°F, by the appropriate de-rating factor to determine the maximum working pressure rating of the pipe at the elevated temperature chosen.
EX: SDR 21 @ 120°F = ?
200 psi x 0.40 = 80 psi max. @ 120°F
THE MAXIMUM SERVICE TEMPERATURE FOR PVC IS 140°F
Solvent cemented joints should be utilized when working at or near maximum temperatures. Harvel Plastics does not recommend the use of PVC for threaded connections at temperatures above 110°F; use flanged joints, unions, or roll grooved couplings where disassembly is necessary at elevated temperatures.
Threading of SDR Series pipe is not a recommended practice due to insufficient wall thickness.
Chemical resistance data should be referenced for proper material selection and possible de-rating when working with fluids other than water.
Refer to Harvel Plastics 112/401 Product Bulletin for chemical resistance and installation data. Pipe listed is manufactured in strict compliance with ASTM D2241 | |
