Transport

First of all, it is important to note that the pipes must be transported in accordance with current traffic regulations. To optimize transport we recommend the following guidelines:

The article below outlines the differences between making a push-fit connection on PVC-O pipes and Butt Fusion Welds required for PE pipes.

PVC-O Pipe Joint Procedure

Although other applications are not ruled out, TOM^® pipe is especially suitable for underground installations.

In this article, we would like to provide the information and necessary points to study for dimensioning the trenches correctly:

Excavation:

For calculation purposes and for this article, we are going to consider the most common installation case: Installation in trench or in fill.  The required data are:

Stresses and strains

Prior to the analysis of the types of stresses and deformations that are subjected to a buried pipe, the main factors should be identified.  

One of the main values on which is based Molecor is its commitment to the environment; due to this most of its efforts in R&D are used to develop increasingly efficient systems to manufacture sustainable PVC-O pipes.
