Materials and Equipment Details

uPVC (POLYVINYL CHLORIDE) PIPE

1. General

1.1 The pipe shall conform with the requirements of the Philippines National
Standard Specification for Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (uPVC) Pipes for
Potable Water Supply (PNS 65:1993) or equivalent except as otherwise
specified herein. This standard specifies the requirements for unplasticized
polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) pipes with nominal outside diameter of 63 mm to
500 mm intended for the conveyance of potable water under pressure and of
temperatures up to 45oC for use below ground.

2. Definitions

2.1 For the purpose of this specification, the following definitions shall apply:

(a) nominal pressure (PN) – The nominal maximum internal pressure that
the pipe can sustain in continuous use. This is expressed in
megapascals (MPa) at 28 oC.

(b) design maximum induced stress – The estimated maximum tensile

stress on the wall of the pipe along the transverse axis due to internal
pressure to which the pipe can be subjected continuously without
failure. This is used in calculating the wall thickness of the pipe. For the
purpose of this specification the maximum induced stress in 8.5 MPa at
28 oC.

(c) pipe series – It is used in classifying the pipe, which is the ratio of the
design maximum induced stress to the nominal pressure of the pipe.
The pipe series number may be rounded off to the nearest whole
number.

(d) nominal dimensions – Nominal dimensions and values indicated herein

are minimum limits as defined in this specification.

(e) unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) pipe – A pipe produced

basically from an extrusion grade uPVC material of high molecular
weight which does not contain any plasticizer.
 (f) rework material – uPVC plastics from a processor’s own production that
has been reground, palletized or solvated after having been previously
processed.

3. Classification

3.1 Pipes shall be classified in accordance with the pipe series and/or the
nominal pressure as follows:

(a) Series 10 (PN 0.86 MPa)

(b) Series 8 (PN 1.03 MPa)
(c) Series 7 (PN 1.25 MPa)
(d) Series 5 (PN 1.60 MPa)

In designing the maximum nominal pressure of the uPVC pipe under ambient
temperatures other than 28 oC, Table 1 – Maximum Induced Stress for Other
Temperatures may be utilized in arriving at the maximum induced stress to
be used. The said table may also be used in derating the nominal pressures
of the pipe specified in this specification.
