HPB-105Effective 09/30/07Revised 02/15/09Superior corrosion resistant solutionsfor high temperature applicationsPipe•Duct•ShapesCPVCPROPERTIES OF CPVCCPVC piping systems manufactured by Harvel can handle morethan three-fourths of the temperature/pressure requirements of today’stypical process plants. CPVC pressure pipe has an upper workingtemperature limit of 200°F (93°C), or approximately 60°F (15°C)above that of Type I Grade I PVC. As with all thermoplastic pipingsystems, CPVC’s ability to withstand pressure varies with pipe diameter,wall thickness, and temperature. For pressure piping applications itis recommended for temperatures as high as 200°F (93°C) whenappropriate temperature de-rating factors are applied. As the pipediameter and temperature increases, the pressure rating of the productdecreases. For example, 1/2" Schedule 80 CPVC pipe is engineeredfor continuous service of 850 psi @ 73°F (23°C). The same pipe inservice @ 180°F (82°C) carries a maximum working pressure ratingof 210 psi at this temperature. 6" Schedule 80 CPVC pipe is designedfor 270 psi @ 73°F, and 54 psi @ 200°F.Harvel CPVC pipe will withstand surprisingly high pressuresfor long periods, even at elevated temperature. CPVC has a tensilestrength of more than 2000 psi at 212°F. It also shows a high modulusover a wide range of temperature, and heat deformation at 264 psidoes not occur below 230°F. The low thermal conductivity of CPVCreduces moisture condensation on water lines, and its smooth interiorwalls provide a low friction factor (Hazen Williams C=150) assuringgreater throughput and optimum pumping discharges.CPVC is essentially immune to solvation or direct chemicalattack by virtually all acids, bases, salts, aliphatic solutions, oxidants,and halogens. Like other thermoplastics, CPVC can handle mixturesTemperatureDe-Rating Factors(To be applied to 73.4°Fworking pressures with water forSchedules 40 and 80 CPVC pipe.)1.00.72.65.57.50.42.35.29.25.20 73110120130140**150**160**170**180**200**WorkingTemp.

Harvel CPVC products will not support combustion,are rated as self-extinguishing, and have a flame spread of <25and a smoke development rating of <50 per independent testingconducted by Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (ULC).Consequently, many codes throughout the country have approvedHarvel CPVC products for piping and conduit work. Refer toPhysical Properties table for additional information.TYPICAL CPVC PIPE APPLICATIONSThe use of CPVC piping can be considered for any industrialapplication where inorganic chemicals or aggressive hot waterpiping systems are needed. CPVC pipe’s corrosion resistance,mechanical properties, temperature capabilities, flow characteristics,light weight, and longevity offer significant cost-saving advantagesover metallic systems (up to 25 percent less than carbon steel andmuch less than stainless steel or exotic alloys.) CPVC pipe has adistinct advantage in handling and installation due to its inherentlight weight as compared to carbon steel pipe, which weighsnearly five times more than CPVC. This characteristic alone canresult in considerable savings due to reduced installation labor,storage, and handling costs.Applications for Harvel CPVC pipe can typically be found inthe following industries: chemical processing, metal finishing,plating and treatment, pulp and paper, air pollution control,mining, aerospace, textiles, semi-conductor and electronics, wastewater treatment, water processing, hot water distribution, andfood and beverage processing. Harvel CPVC piping products areindependently tested for chemical extraction to ensure the finishedproducts remain pure, odorless, and tasteless. As a result, Harvelpiping products are approved by the National Sanitation Foundation(NSF) for use with potable water.PropertyTestMethodValueELECTRICALDielectric Strength, volts/mil 1,250 ASTM D149Dielectric Constant, 60Hz, 30°F 3.70 ASTM D150Volume Resistivity, ohm/cm @ 73°F 3.4 x1015 ASTM D257Power Factor, 1000Hz 0.007% ASTM D150Harvel CPVC Pipe is non-electrolytic.GENERALCell Classification 23447 ASTM D1784Maximum Service Temperature 200°FColor Medium GraySpecific Gravity (g/cu.cm @ 73°F) 1.52 ± .02 ASTM D792Water Absorption % increase 24hrs @ 25°C 0.03 ASTM D570Hardness, Rockwell 117 ASTM D785Poisson’s ratio @ 73°F 0.386Hazen-Williams Factor C=150MECHANICALTensile Strength, psi @ 73°F 7,600 ASTM D638Tensile Modulus of Elasticity, psi @ 73°F 360,000 ASTM D638Flexural Strength, psi @ 73°F 13,000 ASTM D790Flexural Modulus, psi @ 73°F 360,000 ASTM D790Compressive Strength, psi @ 73°F 10,000 ASTM D695Compressive Modulus, psi @ 73°F 196,000 ASTM D695Izod Impact, ft-lb/in @ 73°F 2.0 ASTM D256THERMALCoefficient of Linear Expansion (in/in/°F) 3.7 x10-5 ASTM D696Coefficient of Thermal Conductivity ASTM C177 (Cal.)(cm)/(cm2)(Sec.)(°C) 3.27 x10-4 BTU/in/hr/ft2/°F .95 Watt/m/°K 0.137Heat Deflection Temperature Under Load ASTM D648 (264psi, Annealed) 226°FFLAMMABILITYFlammability Rating V-0, 5VB, 5VA UL-94Flame Spread Index < 10 ASTM E162Flame Spread < 25 ASTM E-84UL 723< 25 ULCSmoke Generation < 50 ASTM E-84UL 723< 50 ULCFlash Ignition Temperature 900°FAverage Time of Burning (sec.) < 5 ASTM D635Average Extent of Burning (mm) < 10Burning Rate, (in/min.)

Harvel’sCPVC duct safely withstands temperatures up to 200°Fmaking it ideal for hot corrosive fume and drain service.The product’s light weight and ease of fabrication providea long-lasting, cost-effective solution for many industrialfume and drain applications, such as: metal finishing andplating operations, anodizing, laboratory use, and wastewater treatment facilities.Harvel CPVC is listed for surface burning characteristicshaving a low flame-spread rating <25 and a low smokedevelopment rating <50. This makes it an ideal choice foruse in corrosive environments where fire performance isa concern.Extruded to IPS dimensions, the CPVC duct is easilyjoined by solvent cementing or thermal welding joiningtechniques, easing fabrication. Harvel’s CPVC duct isstocked in 10' and 20' lengths, inside under roof, to ensuredoor to door quality. Fabricated fittings of all configurationsare readily available in sizes 6" through 24".CPVC EXTRUDED SHAPESA wide range of products can easily be machined fromHarvel’s line of CPVC solid round bar and hollow bar extrudedshapes. Using conventional machining methods such ascutting, boring, drilling, and threading, an endless variety offinished parts and subcomponents can be readily produced.This provides a means to produce many custom assembliesand fixtures that are not available as extruded or moldeditems. Machined components and fixtures can then beincorporated into large assemblies or existing systems usingstandard solid cementing and hot air welding techniques,providing material consistency and integration for an entiresystem.The heavy-wall hollow bar offered provides considerablematerial savings when custom bored parts are required. Somehollow bar sizes are available in IPS and can be used asbushing stock or very heavy wall pipe which is notcommercially available.Typical products produced from extruded bar and rodinclude: ball valves, check valves, foot valves, needle valves,bulkhead fittings, pump components, bushings, faucet parts,compression fittings, flanges, hangers, headers, hooks,adapters, spacers, caps, sleeves, plugs, stiffeners, hubs, andother mechanical components.CPVC centerlessground rod, hex, angleand other shapes arealso available.Hollow CPVC Bar1.6252.1252.2502.3752.6252.7502.8753.0003.5634.0004.2504.7505.0006.6256.625.562.7501.1251.0001.5001.0001.5001.2501.5002.5001.7503.0003.0004.0002.8751.2882.2432.2602.6712.8023.6823.5254.2075.8535.7518.3167.8899.17016.64020.121GENERALCell Classification 23447 ASTM D1784Specific Gravity, g/cc 1.55 ASTM D792MECHANICALTensile Strength, psi @ 73°F 8,100 ASTM D638Tensile Modulus, psi @ 73°F 370,000 ASTM D638Izod Impact, ft-lb/in notched @ 73°F 3.2 ASTM D256THERMALHeat Deflection Under Load, °F 223 ASTM D648OTHERNSF Approved for Potable WaterRefer to Harvel’s CPVC DUCT Bulletin (HPB-106) for detailed informationSolid RoundCPVC Bar 1/4 3/8 7/16 1/2 5/8 3/411-1/41-1/222-3/82-1/233-1/2456.032.074.105.131.204.296.526.8211.1832.1092.9663.3754.5956.4398.46013.95019.203Consult factory forminimum run.DUCT6810121416182024Duct Maximum Hanger Support Spacing (Feet)NominalPipeSize (in.)Temperature °F1010101012121212127310101010121212121210010101010121212121212010101010121212121214010101010101212121216088101010101212121808810101010121212200CPVC Seamless Extruded Duct for Drain & Fume Service6.6258.62510.75012.75014.00016.00018.00020.00024.0002.5553.3494.1924.9865.4856.2737.5809.14512.536.187.187.187.187.187.187.187.219.2506810121416182024± .050± .075± .075± .075± .075± .075± .080± .140± .180.172.172.172.172.172.172.172.199.230± .020± .020± .025± .025± .030± .030± .040± .070± .090.202.202.202.202.202.202.202.239.270Size(in.)AverageWallO of RTol.Min.WallAverageO.D.
