The difference between CPVC chemical pipe and UPVC chemical pipe

PVC chemical pipe is divided into CPVC chemical pipe and UPVC chemical pipe two kinds, but for the two what is the difference between the two, it is estimated that many pipeline industry practitioners do not understand

PVC chemical pipe is divided into CPVC chemical pipe and UPVC chemical pipe two kinds, but for the two what is the difference between the two, it is estimated that many pipeline industry practitioners do not understand, unless it is encountered in the work and make efforts to research, but also have an understanding. Here the difference between the two are detailed comb, for your reference.

CPVC chemical pipe is chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) pipe, which is extruded from chlorinated polyvinyl chloride resin with the necessary auxiliaries. The chlorination process gives CPVC higher heat, pressure and corrosion resistance, as well as better mechanical strength. Compared to ordinary PVC pipe, CPVC chemical pipe can withstand a higher temperature range, usually working between 0°C and 93°C. As a result, CPVC chemical pipe is more commonly used in high temperature applications and in industrial settings with high temperature requirements.

UPVC chemical pipe is Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride pipe, often referred to as rigid PVC.UPVC chemical pipe has high mechanical strength and stiffness, excellent corrosion resistance and good electrical insulation properties. It is mainly used for general industrial applications such as chemical piping, water supply piping and drainage systems. UPVC chemical pipe operates well at room temperature, which usually ranges from 0°C to 60°C. It is also used in the manufacture of chemical pipes.

As a result, CPVC chemical pipes and UPVC chemical pipes differ in material properties, heat resistance and applicable temperature range. CPVC chemical pipes are suitable for industrial environments with higher temperatures and pressures, while UPVC chemical pipes are suitable for general industrial applications and civil applications. When selecting the appropriate piping material, decisions need to be made based on specific project requirements and environmental conditions, taking into account the characteristics of CPVC and UPVC.
