How can PVC pipes be connected?
Thread Content
How are PVC pipes connected? Is flange connection used between the pump and the pipe fittings, and are there any specifications regarding the flange grade? ? ?
If PVC pipes do not need to be disassembled frequently, they can be welded directly using PVC welding rods; flanges are used for the pump outlet, etc. This post was last edited by yzhms on 2008-11-7 at 16:38.]
PVC pipes are connected to each other using fittings, with the pipes and fittings bonded together with glue (plastic welding can be used as an additional measure for extra security). Pipes are connected to pumps via flanges; this applies to situations where disassembly is not frequent. In cases where disassembly occurs often, it is better to use flanges for connection.

There are many ways to connect PVC, with the main methods being the following (others can be added): 1. Direct welding, of course, plastic welding. 2. Socket-type; it can be welded or bonded with special adhesive. 3. Flange connection: Generally, PN0.6 and PN1.0 flanges are used; standard parts are available or they can be machined by oneself. 4. Sleeve, sealed with an O-ring or packing. It is mainly used to prevent thermal contraction. 5. Loop flange connection.
Thank you, I hope everyone will continue the discussion
If disassembly is frequent, flange connections should be used; if disassembly is not frequent, straight-through pipe connections are suitable. If the pressure is above 0.1 MPa, welding is advisable. The flange grade can be determined based on the process conditions.
Plug-and-socket welding, which is relatively secure
