TEMPERATURE CORRECTION OR PRESSURE DERATING FACTORS
- PVC 1120 is the recommended grade of UPVC material in ASTM D 1784 & 1785 having Hydro static Design Stress of 14 Mpa (2000PSI)
- To obtain actual Working pressure at different temperatures, the working pressure shall be multiplied by the corresponding Derating Factor.
- For threded joints the working pressures mentioned above shall be halved.

UPVC PIPING SYSTEM
| DO’S | DON’TS | |
 | CUTTING It is imperative to mark the pipe from all sides so that pipe is cut with the help of a Hand Saw. It should be a right angle cut from all the sides, The cut piece should not be with burr on edges | CUTTING
|
 | CHAMFERING After cutting the pipe needs to be chamfered from the outer sides. It is advisable to provide approximately 2mm wide, slight chamfer on spigot end of the pipe into the socket of the fitting. | CHAMFERING
|
| DEBURRING AND RIDEGE REMOVAL Remove all the burrs and ridges accumulated on the inner as well as the outer edges of the pipe with the help of a deburring knife, file or abrasive paper | DEBURRING AND RIDEGE REMOVAL |
 | DRYFIT TEST Before applying solvent cement, insert the pipe end into the socket of the next pipe end into the socket of the next pipe or fitting to check that interference occurs at about 1/3 to 2/3 of the socket depth. | DRYFIT TEST |
 | CLEANING Thoroughly clean the pipe with dry cloth where the solvent cement is going to be applied to avoid dust, dirt, oil, moisture and other foreign material during the installation process | CLEANING
|
 | APPLICATION OF SOLVENT CEMENT Mark the pipe length to be inserted for jointing. Apply a liberal coat of solvent cement with the help of the brush on the marked surface | APPLICATION OF SOLVENT CEMENT Do not apply excess solvent cement on the pipe and do not use solvent cement by hand. |
| JOINTING Push the pipe inside the fitting/ pipe so that it goes inside equally from all the sides. Wipe off excess solvent cement that comes out of the edges. Hold the joint for one to two minutes so that the jointing is perfect. FOR THREADED JOINTS • Clean the Male & Female threads. • Apply Teflon tape in the direction of thread tightening Hand tighten the threads firmly • Tighten the joint more by using pipe wrench • Do not over tighten. Userubber packing to avoid scratches on pipe | JOINTING FOR THREADED JOINTS
