SCH80 VS SCH40 PVC

SCH80 and SCH40 are references to the pipe wall thickness. The higher the Schedule (SCH) the thicker the wall.

We supply both Grey SCH80 Pipe and Clear SCH40 PVC-U Pipe.

DATASHEETS

Metric vs Imperial PVC-u

PVC-U pipe outside diameters (OD) and wall thicknesses can vary based on the international Specifications.

PAAS typically stocks the Imperial range of BS and ASTM products to suit the Australian Market; with Metric (European) sizing available on request.

Pressure temperature chart

The chart shown indicates the pressure rating of SCH80 Pipe in water applications.

For all other PVC-U product lines – fittings, valves please consult the individual product data sheets.

Chemical Resistance
