C900 PVC pipe is a type of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pressure pipe manufactured in compliance with the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Standard C900.<\/span> This standard specifies requirements for PVC pipes used in potable water distribution systems, reclaimed water systems, and sewer applications.<\/span> C900 pipes are known for their durability, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness, making them a popular choice for municipal infrastructure projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Composition and Material Properties<\/h2>\n

1.1 PVC Material<\/h3>\n

C900 pipes are made from Type 1, Grade 1, unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC), commonly referred to as PVC 1120.<\/span> This material is chosen for its high strength, resistance to chemicals, and suitability for pressure applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Pressure Ratings and Design<\/h2>\n

2.1 Pressure Classes<\/h3>\n

C900 pipes are available in various pressure classes, which denote the pipe’s ability to withstand internal water pressure.<\/span> The Pressure Class (PC) is determined by dividing the long-term hydrostatic strength by a safety factor of 2.<\/span> Common pressure classes include:<\/span><\/p>\n
