Engineering ToolBox > PVDF Pipes - Support Spacing
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 - Wall Schedule 40 - Support Spacing (feet) | |||
| NPS (inches) | Operating Temperature (oF) | ||
| 80 | 100 | 1401) | |
| 1/2 | 3 1/2 | 3 1/2 | 2 |
| 3/4 | 4 | 3 1/2 | 2 1/2 |
| 1 | 4 | 4 | 2 1/2 |
| 1 1/2 | 4 1/2 | 4 1/2 | 2 1/2 |
| 2 | 4 1/2 | 4 1/2 | 2 1/2 |
| PVDF - Wall Schedule 80 - Support Spacing (feet) | |||
| NPS (inches) | Operating Temperature (oF) | ||
| 80 | 100 | 1401) | |
| 1/2 | 4 1/2 | 4 1/2 | 2 1/2 |
| 3/4 | 4 1/2 | 4 1/2 | 3 |
| 1 | 5 | 4 1/2 | 3 |
| 1 1/2 | 5 1/2 | 5 | 3 |
| 2 | 5 1/2 | 5 | 3 |
1) For temperatures above 140oF continuous support is needed.
PVDF is recognized by its high mechanical strength and excellent chemical resistance even at higher temperatures.
