PVC - Pipes and Pipe Systems # 1988 Bath
The investigation has indicated that deflected uPVC pipes are subjected to a physical aging process, which gives rise to a lower rate of decrease in the E-modulus than has previously been assumed. Based upon these findings the long term ring stiffness of PVC sewer pipes is determined. Concerning the bending strength of a deflected PVC pipe, the investigation has so far not indicated any upper limit for the allowable bending strain.
