Reseña del editor

"The Handbook of PVC Pipe: Design and Construction" is the Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association's preeminent publication. Prepared with the objective of being the most comprehensive reference text on PVC pipe and fittings, this handbook provides practical engineering and construction information together with recommendations applicable to the design and use of primarily underground PVC piping systems, in both pressure and non-pressure applications. It is used by engineers across North America in the utility and consulting engineering sectors, as well as in universities and technical institutions. New to the Fifth Edition: Four new chapters - General Construction, PVC Pressure Pipe Installation; PVC Non-Pressure Pipe Installation; Trenchless Installation of PVC Pipe; and, Molecularly Oriented Polyvinyl Chloride Pipe (PVCO). It includes updated and improved graphs and tables. It features an open page format.

Welcome to the PVC Pipe AssociationMission Our mission is to promote use of longer-life, lower-maintenance, corrosion-proof PVC piping in water and wastewater systems - for real sustainability, strength and long-term asset management. Overview Founded in 1971 as a non-profit organization, the Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association is the authoritative source of information on PVC pipe. It serves the engineering, regulatory, public health and standardization communities. Introduced in North America in 1951, corrosion-proof PVC piping offers a superior, proven and truly sustainable solution for underground infrastructure, helping municipalities spend smarter and giving taxpayers the best return on their dollar. Uni-Bell staff provide users with information on the design and application of gasketed-joint PVC pipe. We also produce technical publications and recommend standards recognized throughout the world. Moreover, research sponsored by Uni-Bell in the areas of buried pipe deflection, durability, ultraviolet aging, direct tapping, cyclic surge performance, etc., has demonstrated PVC's versatility, ease of installation and maintenance, as well as its unsurpassed durability. The PVC pipe industry contributes in excess of $14 billion annually to the US economy and supports over 25,000 jobs. With over two million miles in service, PVC pipe is the product of choice for buried water, sewer, drainage and irrigation infrastructure.
