The characteristics of UPVC pipe are also light in weight. The advantage of convenient transportation. The specific gravity of UPVC pipe is about 1.4 (the specific gravity of cast iron pipe is about 7.4), which is one-fifth of the weight of cast iron pipe. Using UPVC pipe can save 1/10-1/5 of the transportation cost compared with cast iron pipe. Its handling, loading and unloading construction are very convenient. The construction environment of water supply pipelines is often difficult, and the construction site is muddy. If it can reduce the labor intensity of workers and shorten the construction period, it is the most ideal thing. The use of UPVC pipe can achieve this ideal. UPVC pipe is light in weight and can be moved manually during the installation process, generally without the use of machinery. For example, a DN200 UPVC pipe with a length of 6m weighs about 55Kg, while a cast iron pipe with the same diameter and length has a dead weight of 304Kg. The UPVC pipe can be carried by one person during installation, while the cast iron pipe requires three people or machinery to drop the pipe, which greatly reduces the It reduces the labor intensity of workers and saves man-hours and construction costs.
