In industrial piping systems, understanding schedule ratings is essential for selecting the right material for specific applications. Schedule (SCH) numbers indicate the wall thickness of a pipe, which directly affects its pressure rating and strength. LESSO America, known for their PVC-based solutions, offers SCH 80 piping that fits the demands of industrial environments where pressure and durability matter.
The Benefits of SCH 80 Wall Thickness
SCH 80 pipes have thicker walls than SCH 40, providing greater resistance to internal pressure. This makes SCH 80 a preferred option in facilities where high-pressure fluids are transported, such as in chemical processing, water treatment, or manufacturing. LESSO America’s SCH 80 PVC pipes offer consistent wall thickness that helps maintain system integrity under demanding conditions.
Durability for Industrial Use
Industrial piping systems are often exposed to physical stress, varying temperatures, and chemical agents. LESSO America’s SCH 80 PVC piping is designed to handle these factors without cracking, warping, or degrading over time. PVC’s resistance to corrosion and chemical attack makes it a durable choice in applications that involve aggressive media or require long service life.
Pressure Ratings and System Safety
Higher pressure ratings are another reason SCH 80 piping is used in industrial settings. With its thicker walls, SCH 80 PVC can safely handle higher PSI levels compared to thinner alternatives. LESSO America ensures that their SCH 80 piping meets industry standards for pressure and performance, supporting safe and reliable operation across a range of uses.
Conclusion
SCH 80 PVC piping from LESSO America provides the strength, thickness, and chemical resistance required for many industrial applications. Its higher pressure capacity and structural durability make it a practical choice for engineers and contractors designing systems that need to perform under consistent or extreme conditions. Through their focus on quality PVC solutions, LESSO America supports the long-term reliability of industrial piping systems.
