PVC Irrigation Pipe

Application Introduction of PVC Breeding Irrigation Pipe

PVC For Water Supply

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes are commonly used for water supply systems. They are lightweight, easy to install, and cost-effective. PVC pipes have a smooth inner surface that allows for efficient water flow and minimizes the build-up of sediment and bacteria.

These pipes are designed to transport water from a water source to the crops or plants, delivering the required amount of water to the roots for healthy growth.
PVC pipes used in Breeding Irrigation are typically gray in color, as they are made with a UV inhibitor that protects the pipe from damage caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight. This feature is crucial in farming and agriculture where irrigation systems are typically located outdoors and exposed to extreme weather conditions.
PVC pipes used for Breeding Irrigation are also available in various sizes and thicknesses to accommodate different water pressure requirements and soil types. They are lightweight, making them easy to handle and install, and they can be easily connected using PVC fittings, which can be glued or threaded together.

In the modern fishery and aquaculture industry, PVC water supply pipes are widely used in the field of fishery and aquaculture water supply pipes due to their own performance advantages. At present, the main fish farming projects include mariculture, freshwater farming, ornamental fish farming, and fish tank supporting projects for large supermarkets.

1. Advantages of PVC pipes in fish farming

1) PVC pipe adopts environment-friendly organotin formula. During the water supply process, there is no heavy metal precipitation in the pipeline, which will not cause secondary heavy metal pollution to the water quality. The survival rate of fry is higher than that of pipes made of general materials.

2) The PVC pipe is connected by adhesive or rubber ring, which is convenient and fast for construction and saves construction cost.

3) The wall of the PVC pipe is smooth, and the resistance to the fluid is very small, and its roughness coefficient is only 0.009. Compared with other pipes of the same caliber, it has a large flow rate and does not adhere to scale.

2. PVC pipe specifications commonly used in fishery and aquaculture

1) Large-scale farms such as mariculture and freshwater aquaculture generally use Φ20-Φ315 pipes, of which Φ110-Φ200 main pipes are more commonly used. According to engineering conditions, generally choose a pipeline with a pressure rating of 0.63MPa or 1.0MPa.

2) Ornamental fish breeding and fish tank pipes in large supermarkets generally use Φ20-Φ63 small-diameter pipes.

Processing modifiers can promote the plasticization of primary particles of PVC pipes, reduce the plasticization temperature, and weaken the adverse effects of external lubricants. Adding an appropriate amount of ACR processing aid can shorten the plasticizing time, improve the plasticizing efficiency, avoid melt fracture, improve the smoothness of the product, and make the product have good appearance quality and mechanical properties. ACR is a processing modifier that also provides some impact resistance. If it is added in excess, the shear friction heat will be greater, the material will be over-plasticized, the product will turn yellow, and the tensile yield strength will decrease.

Lubricants can be divided into internal lubricants and external lubricants according to their functions. Generally speaking, the internal lubricant has better compatibility with PVC pipes and PVC, and it can enter between PVC molecules, thereby reducing the force between PVC molecules. Promote the plasticization of PVC, the compatibility between the external lubricant and PVC is poor, it can reduce the friction between the material and the equipment, improve the fluidity, and promote the plasticization of PVC.

Tips:
When installing PVC pipes for water supply, it is important to follow local building codes and regulations, as well as manufacturer guidelines, to ensure proper installation and performance. It is also recommended to periodically inspect PVC pipes for any signs of wear or damage and to replace any damaged pipes or fittings promptly.
