Product Overview
The GF Piping Systems PVC-U PN16 Straight Pipe (Model: d40 x 3.0mm x 5M) is a high-performance industrial piping solution designed for reliable fluid transportation in corrosive environments. Constructed from premium polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U), this pipe offers exceptional chemical resistance and durability, complying with DIN 8061/8062 standards for pressure-rated applications. With an outer diameter of 40mm, wall thickness of 3.0mm, and 5-meter length, it is ideal for medium-to-high pressure systems, ensuring leak-free operation under PN16 (16 bar) conditions. The smooth plain ends facilitate easy solvent cementing, making installation efficient even in complex industrial setups.
Technical Features & Applications
Engineered for versatility, this PVC-U pipe supports a wide range of media, including water, chemicals, and wastewater, across industries such as petrochemical, pharmaceuticals, and municipal infrastructure. Its lightweight design (approximately 1.2kg per meter) simplifies handling and reduces installation costs compared to metal alternatives. The pipe’s thermal stability (-10°C to +60°C) and flame-retardant properties meet rigorous safety requirements, while its non-toxic formulation ensures compliance with drinking water standards. Key applications include process lines, cooling systems, and underground distribution networks where corrosion resistance and long-term reliability are critical.
Performance & Compliance
GF Piping Systems’ PVC-U pipes are manufactured using advanced extrusion technology, ensuring consistent wall thickness and dimensional accuracy. The pipe’s high tensile strength (≥45 MPa) and impact resistance make it suitable for demanding industrial environments. Certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, it aligns with global quality and environmental standards. Additionally, optional bio-based PVC-U variants are available, offering up to 90% lower CO2 emissions during production without compromising performance. With a 10-year warranty and GF’s extensive technical support network, this pipe delivers cost-effective, sustainable solutions for modern industrial automation and infrastructure projects.
