PVDF Pipes - Support Spacing
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:

- 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.
