What is Schedule 200 PVC pipe?

Class 200 pipe, the most common class pipe used in irrigation, is rated for 200 pounds per square inch pressure (psi) and has a wall thickness of . 063” for a 1” pipe. Notice that is a lot thinner than schedule 40. This is about to become very important. Schedule 40, in comparison, is rated for 450 psi.

What’s the difference between Schedule 40 and Schedule 20 PVC pipe?

SCHEDULE 20 PVC PIPE The wall of the pipe is much lighter than that of Schedule 40, and must only be used in situations where vehicles, traffic, or any other type of equipment crossing the area will not be a factor. The outside diameter is the same as SDR 35, and is compatible with all Schedule 20 and SDR 35 fittings.

What is schedule PVC pipe?

PVC Schedule (abbrev. SCH or Sch.) is the thickness of the PVC pipe wall. The most common Schedule is 40, but Schedule 80 PVC is also available. As the schedule gets larger the pipe wall gets thicker from the outside in, so the inside hole (bore) of the pipe gets smaller.

What is the difference between schedule and class?

“Schedule” PVC pipe is an older style of labeling pipe based on the standard dimensions of ductile iron and steel pipe ie. “Class” pipe is a different labeling system. Rather than categorization by wall thickness, the “class” designation rates the internal pressure that the pipe can take instead.

Which is stronger schedule 40 or 80 PVC pipe?

Schedule 80 pipe is designed with a thicker wall. This means the pipe is thicker and stronger, and as a result it can handle higher pressures. Schedule 40 PVC pipe is strong, rigid, and can handle pressure applications. For jobs that require a higher pressurization though, schedule 80 pipe is better suited.

What is SDR 26 pipe used for?

Used for non-pressure drainage of sewer and surface water where extra heavy wall SDR 26 is specified. Our gasketed sewer pipe has a specially designed Double Seal Locked-In gasket that provides a leak-proof joint on extremely durable pipe.

What does class 200 pipe mean?

“Class” pipe is a different labeling system. Rather than categorization by wall thickness, the “class” designation rates the internal pressure that the pipe can take instead. So a “class 200″ pipe can take 200 psi, no matter what the diameter of pipe is. If it is 10″, it takes 200 psi. If it’s 3/4”, it takes 200 psi.
