Product Overview
The GF Piping Systems PVC-U S4/PN16 SDR9 Straight Pipe (Model: d20x2.3x5m) is a precision-engineered solution designed for high-pressure fluid transportation in industrial automation and infrastructure applications. Constructed from unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U), this pipe offers exceptional chemical resistance and durability, meeting DIN 8061/8062 and EN 1452 standards. With an outer diameter of 20mm, wall thickness of 2.3mm, and 5-meter length, it delivers PN16 (16 bar) pressure rating at 20°C, ensuring reliable performance in corrosive environments. The solvent-cemented plain-end design enables quick installations, while its lightweight construction (≈0.4kg/m) reduces handling costs compared to metal alternatives. Ideal for industries such as water treatment, chemical processing, and microelectronics, this pipe combines compliance, safety, and efficiency.
Technical Specifications & Features
This PVC-U pipe features a smooth inner surface for minimal pressure loss and optimized flow rates, operating efficiently between 0°C and 60°C. Its SDR9 ratio (Standard Dimension Ratio) ensures structural integrity under high pressure, with a tensile strength of ≥45 MPa and impact resistance exceeding 25 kJ/m². GF’s advanced extrusion technology guarantees uniform wall thickness and dimensional accuracy, while optional bio-based PVC-U variants reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 90% during production. Certified to ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environmental) standards, it also complies with drinking water regulations (e.g., WRAS, NSF). The pipe’s flame-retardant properties and resistance to acids, alkalis, and salts further enhance its suitability for critical industrial processes.
Applications & Advantages
Engineered for versatility, the GF PVC-U S4/PN16 SDR9 pipe excels in demanding sectors like petrochemical manufacturing, wastewater treatment, and food processing. Its non-toxic formulation and smooth bore prevent bacterial growth, making it ideal for potable water systems. The 10-year warranty and GF’s global technical support network ensure long-term reliability, while solvent cementing allows for secure, leak-free joints in tight spaces. With over 60 years of expertise in PVC-U solutions, GF Piping Systems offers a cost-effective, sustainable choice that balances performance, compliance, and environmental responsibility. Ideal for retrofitting or new installations, this pipe sets a benchmark for durability and operational efficiency.
