UPVC British Standard Fittings

Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride
UPVC fittings also commonly referred to as PVC, uPVC, PVCU or PVC-U are suitable for use within the water treatment, chemical processing and similar industries.

UPVC British Standard is an extremely versatile product that has uses ranging from drinking water to highly corrosive chemical applications. The product contains UV stabilising additives and thermal properties which ensure that it is suitable for both interior and exterior environments. Its smooth texture also ensures that there is limited build up of materials or scale from the liquids during operations.

The product is lightweight (compared to metallic systems) and easy to handle and install.

Benefits of UPVC British Standard

  • Excellent chemical resistance to many acids, alkalis, bases and salts.
  • Wide temperature rating of 0 - 60˚C.
  • High pressure rating up to 16 bar.
  • UV Resistant / Stabilised.
  • Free from toxicity, odours and tastes.
  • Highly resilient, tough and durable with high tensile and impact strength.
  • It's light weight and easy to handle. Reducing the cost of transportation and installation.
  • Easy to install with inexpensive tools and cleaner / glue.
  • Excellent corrosion resistance and doesn’t scale, pit or rust.
  • Smooth interior walls provide a high consistent flow rate and low friction loss.
  • Lower thermal conductivity factor than metal pipe. Therefore piped fluids maintain a more constant temperature.

FAQ

Which range of UPVC does Fusion Stock?

We carry stock of UPVC Schedule 80 pipe and fittings, British standard fittings, solvent cements, primers and accessories to help with installation.

What is British Standard?

British Standard fittings are imperial sized (0.5", 0.75", 1", 2", etc.) and manufactured to the British Standards (BS 3505, BS 4346, etc.). Threads on British Standard fittings are BSPP/BSPT and pressures are generally expressed in bar (PN ratings). 

What is the difference between British Standard and Schedule 80 fittings?

Both systems use the same imperial outside diameters. For example, a 1" British Standard fitting will solvent weld onto 1" Schedule 80 pipe. The difference is in the standards: Schedule 80 (ASTM) fittings are rated by schedule number with pressures in PSI and typically use NPT threads, while British Standard fittings are rated by PN class with pressures in bar and use BSP threads.

Where has Fusion supplied / installed UPVC pipe & fittings?

For hundreds of business across Australia. Some notable supply / install projects:
  • A chemical processing plant in Perth, Western Australia.
  • A chlor-alkali plant construction in Brisbane, Queensland.
  • Multiple water authority plants throughout Western Australia, Queensland and South Australia.
  • Mine site projects throughout the Pilbara Region in Western Australia.
  • Many containerised water treatment plants in Western Australia, Queensland and Papua New Guinea.

UPVC isn't suitable for my application, what else could I use?

Fusion can provided assistance to specify the most suitable plastic for your application. Depending on the conveyed chemical / media, pressure and temperature. Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) may be more suitable if the temperature exceeds +60˚C, or if you require UV resistance then High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) may be a better option. Please contact us if you require assistance with selecting the optimal plastic for your application.

Does Fusion sell steel piping systems?

While steel pipes / steel tubes and steel fittings have their advantages, our focus is on providing long term, corrosion free plastic piping systems.
