Applications
Water Supply and Drainage Systems
The PVC Slotted Pressure Pipe Series 1 SWJ is widely used in water supply systems that also require drainage, such as bio basins or stormwater management. Its slotted design allows water to drain efficiently while the pressure rating ensures the system remains secure under high water loads. The slots can be customized to control water infiltration, helping to prevent flooding in urban and agricultural environments.
Gas Distribution and Industrial Systems
This pipe is also suitable for low-pressure gas distribution, with the PN12 and PN18 classes designed to handle the demands of gas systems while simultaneously managing water drainage where necessary. Its Solvent Weld Joint ensures the pipe remains safe and secure, providing a leak-proof solution for gas transport.
Subsurface and Agricultural Drainage
The slotted design of this pipe makes it perfect for subsurface drainage in agricultural fields, sports fields, and podium gardens. It efficiently manages excess water while withstanding pressure from irrigation systems. Additionally, the customizable slots can help filter out debris, preventing blockages and keeping the system flowing smoothly.
Advantages
- Custom Slotting for Flexibility: Choose the slot length, width, and pattern to suit specific water management needs, ensuring optimal drainage performance.
- Corrosion and Chemical Resistance: The PVC-U material resists corrosion and chemical degradation, making it ideal for use in environments where other materials might fail.
- Cost-Effective: Lightweight and easy to install, reducing labor and transport costs while ensuring long-term performance.
- Long Service Life: With minimal maintenance requirements, the PVC pressure pipe can last over 50 years, making it a cost-effective solution for long-term projects.
Pressure Classes and Available Sizes
The PVC Slotted Pressure Pipe Series 1 SWJ is available in a variety of Pressure Nominal (PN) ratings:
- PN6: Ideal for low-pressure applications, including non-critical water distribution and irrigation.
- PN9: Suitable for moderate-pressure water systems and subsurface drainage.
- PN12: Perfect for high-pressure water and gas distribution that also requires drainage capabilities.
- PN18: Best suited for demanding high-pressure systems, such as industrial fluid transport and municipal water mains, while managing excess water effectively.
The pipe comes in diameters ranging from DN15 to DN375, with a standard length of 6 meters. Custom lengths are also available upon request to suit specific project needs.
