PVDF - PolyVinylidene Fluoride Pipes - Supports
Maximum distance between PVDF pipe supports.
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:
PVDF Pipe - Schedule 40

- 1 ft (foot) = 0.3048 m
- T (oC) = 5/9 (T (oF) - 32)
1) For temperatures above 140 oF continuous support of the pipes is needed.
PVDF is recognized by its high mechanical strength and excellent chemical resistance even at higher temperatures.
