Ageing issues of non-metallic pipes laid exposed to the elements?
Thread Content
Could the experts please tell us what anti-aging measures should be taken for the installation of outdoor non-metallic pipelines?
The most direct way to prevent aging is exposure to sunlight; it mostly relates to the aging resistance of the material itself, through the addition of UV-resistant additives and similar substances.
To prevent aging and extend the service life of non-metallic pipes, it is important to avoid exposing them to direct sunlight. If the pipes are not installed for an extended period of time, it is best to cover them with canvas. The pipes must be kept flat and straight; otherwise, they may bend or deform； Also, be careful not to let it get wet from the rain. If outdoor installation is the main option, the key is to protect it from sunlight and rain, in which case burial in a trench can be used.
