CPVC Equal tee
What is CPVC tee?
CPVC equal diameter tee is a pipe fitting used in pipes chemical water distribution systems. It is designed to connect three pipes of the same diameter in a T-shaped structure to achieve branching or combination of fluid flows. CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) is a thermoplastic material known for its resistance to high temperatures and chemicals and is suitable for use in hot and cold water distribution systems. CPVC equal diameter tee fittings are commonly used in residential, commercial and industrial piping applications.
What different between DIN standard and Schedule 80 CPVC tee?
The main difference between DIN standard CPVC tee and SCH80 CPVC tee lies in their respective standards and specifications:
DIN standard CPVC tee:
Complies with DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung) standards, a set of technical standards used in Germany and other European countries.
Designed and manufactured to the specific dimensions, material properties and performance requirements outlined in the DIN standard for CPVC piping systems.
Typically used in areas where DIN standards are prevalent and European standards need to be adhered to.
SCH80 CPVC tee:
Meets the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) SCH80 standard, which is widely used in North America to specify the size and pressure rating of CPVC pipes and fittings.
Manufactured to meet the specific pressure rating and wall thickness requirements specified in the SCH80 standard, indicating that it is suitable for higher pressure applications compared to SCH40 CPVC fittings.
Commonly used in the United States and other regions where ASTM standards are adopted for CPVC piping systems.
To sum up, the main difference between DIN standard CPVC tee and SCH80 CPVC tee is the standard they follow. Among them, DIN standard tee conforms to European standards, and SCH80 tee conforms to North American standards. It is important to select the appropriate CPVC tee based on regional standards and specific application requirements.
What happens if you use UPVC glue on CPVC pipe fitting?
Using PVC glue over CPVC can cause potential problems due to the different chemical compositions and properties of the two materials. Although PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) are both thermoplastic pipe materials, they have different chemical resistance and temperature handling capabilities.
If PVC glue is used on CPVC pipes and fittings, it may not form a strong, reliable bond. Additionally, joints may be more prone to leaking, especially when exposed to higher temperatures or certain chemicals. When using CPVC pipe and fittings, an appropriate solvent adhesive designed specifically for CPVC must be used to ensure a safe and durable connection.
Therefore, it is critical to always use the correct type of solvent adhesive that is compatible with the specific materials being used to ensure the integrity and longevity of your duct system.
