PVDF Pipes - Support Spacing

Support spacing for PVDF pipes

Maximum support spacing for PVDF - PolyVinylidene Fluoride - pipes depends on the operating temperature. Maximum spacing between supports at different temperatures can be found in the tables below:

  • 1 ft (foot) = 0.3048 m
  • T(oC) = 5/9[T(oF) - 32]

1) For temperatures above 140 oF continuous support is needed.

PVDF is recognized by its high mechanical strength and excellent chemical resistance even at higher temperatures.
