All pvc schedule 80 pipe shall be manufactured from a type i grade i polyvinyl chloride pvc compound with a cell classification of 12454 per astm d1784.
Sch 80 pvc pipe pressure rating.
The pressure rating is only for pipes.
All compound components shall be listed with nsf and meet the requirements of nsf ansi standard 61 g as suitable for potable water and is considered lead free.
These ratings are based on a constant pressure.
This makes it perfect for mechanical and synthetic applications.
To calculate elevated temperature rating use the following formula.
Unlike tensile strength burst pressure decreases as pipe size increases.
Max pressure 73 x derating factor schedule 80 pipe pvc pipe operating temp f de rating factor 73 1 00 80 0 88 90 0 75 100 0 62 110 0 51 120 0 40 130 0 31 140.
For pvc fitting schedule 40 and pvc fittings schedule 80 the optimal temperature at which pvc can operate at the highest psi would be 73 degrees fahrenheit.
Pvc cpvc molded fittings do not have a pressure rating.
Minimum tensile strength 60 ksi 60000 psi.
Pressure de rating at elevated temperatures the pressure ratings above are for water at 73 degrees fahrenheit.
However smaller sizes of pvc pipe especially schedule 80 can handle plenty of pressure for most home and business uses.
The maximum operating pressures derates with temperature.
The pressure ratings shown are based on astm d2241 sdr class and astm d1785 schedule 40 80 pipes.
As the temperature of the pvc increases the pressure that the pvc can withstand will decrease.
This table defines the maximum pressure rating for the specified industry standard pipes schedule 160 schedule 40 and schedule 80.
Adjustments may be required for pressure variations.
Schedule 80 pipe nipple pressure rating has thicker dividers and can with stand higher psi pounds per square inch.
