DESCRIPTION
YiFeng Plastic’s I.P.S. Pressure PVC Pipe conforms to ASTM D2241 for standard dimension ratios and is available in SDR 64 (63 psi) SDR 41 (100 psi), SDR 32.5 (125 psi), SDR 26 (160 psi), SDR 21 (200 psi) and SDR 17 (250 psi). PVC compounds used in the extrusion of this pipe meet or exceed the requirements of ASTM D1784 cell class 12454. Gaskets conform to ASTM F477. Joint design is tested to the requirements of ASTM D3139.
LONG LAYING LENGTHS
The standard laying length of I.P.S. Pressure PVC water pipe is 20 feet. This means that more ground can be covered during installation while eliminating the cost of unnecessary joints.
QUALITY CONTROL
This pipe is tested in accordance with the provisions of ASTM D2241 and subject to inspection by our quality control inspectors throughout every step of the manufacturing process.
PURPLE RECLAIM AND GREEN SEWER FORCE MAIN
YiFeng Plastic also manufactures this pipe in purple, specifically for reclaimed water systems and green for sewer force main applications. This pipe is made and tested to the same requirements as our standard products, except that the pigment used is purple or green.These products will not be marked with the NSF listing marks.Additionally, the purple pipe will be marked: “Reclaimed Water…Do Not Drink” and the green pipe will be marked “Forced Sewer.”
APPLICATIONS
These products are typically used in rural water, agricultural and turf irrigation pipelines; however, they may also be used for gravity sewer,force main, and water reclamation projects. The pressure rating of the pipe indicates the maximum allowable sustained pressure capacity with a long-term 2 to 1 safety factor.
I.P.S. Pressure Pipe is dt per foot installed.
FIELD CUTTING AND BEVELING
I.P.S. Pressure pipe can be field cut with a power saw or ordinary handsaw. This eliminates the need to invest in costly cutting equipment. The pipe can also be beveled without the use of any expensive or complicated machinery.
Excellent physical properties
LIGHT WEIGHT
A 20 foot length of Pressure Rated 200 psi, 8″ I.P.S. Pressure PVC water pipe weighs approximately 144 pounds. That makes it easy to load, easy to transport, and easy to handle. Installers prefer it because it goes into the ground quickly-thus saving on installation costs.
SERVICE LIFE
Since PVC does not corrode and is resistant to most chemicals, the pipe does not lose strength due to either potable water corrosion or external galvanic soil conditions. The design of the pipe allows for a 2 to 1 long-term safety factor at the marked capacity of the pipe.
CORROSION RESISTANCE
I.P.S. Pressure PVC pipe is unaffected by electrolytic or galvanic corrosion, or any known corrosive soil or water condition. You don’t have to worry about tuberculation, or the need for costly lining, wrapping, coating, or cathodic protection.
FLOW CAPACITY
This PVC water pipe has a smooth interior that stays smooth over long years of service with no loss in carrying capacity. It’s coefficient of flow is C=150 (Hazen =& Williams) the best available in common use water systems. This capacity often allows savings in pumping costs as well as savings on the size of pipe required.
PIPE
I.P.S. O.D.
Available in 1.5″ through 12″ diameter sizes, this pipe can be connected directly to most plumbing fixtures and IPS appurtenances. It can also be connected into cast and ductile iron fittings with the appropriate adapters, or transition gaskets.
The factory installed gaskets provide a tight, flexible seal, that resists rolling during installation. Special gasket types are available for use with certain chemical and petroleum products. Spigot pipe ends are supplied from the
factory with bevels. The bell is an integral part of the pipe length with the same strength. Joints meet or exceed ASTM D3139 for joint tightness, including a 22 in. Hg vacuum for one hour, under deflection, with no leakage.
All pipe shall be suitable for use as pressure conduit. Provisions must be made for expansion and contraction at each joint with an elastomeric ring. The bell shall consist of an integral wall section with a factory installed, solid cross section elastomeric gasket which meets the requirements of ASTM F477. The bell section shall be designed to be at least as hydrostatically strong as the pipe barrel and meet the requirements of ASTM D2241.
The joint design meets the requirements of ASTM D3139, under both pressure and 22 in. Hg vacuum. Sizes and dimensions shall be as shown in this specification.
QUICK BURST TEST
Randomly selected samples tested in accordance with ASTM D1599 shall withstand, without failure, the pressure listed below when applied in 60-70 seconds.
