Introduction

Key points of standard update


Main changes of the 2020 standard compared with the 2004 version:

  • New PB-R pipe classification and performance requirements
  • Extended pipe outer diameter range to 250mm
  • Added technical specifications for barrier layer pipes
  • Updated static hydraulic strength test method

Product classification and performance


Type Characteristics Applicable temperature Design stress (MPa)
PB-H Homopolymer -20℃~95℃ 4.30-7.83
PB-R Copolymer -20℃~95℃ 4.13-7.81

Key Performance Indicators


Static Hydraulic Strength Requirements

Test Conditions PB-H Requirements PB-R Requirements
20℃/1h 15.5MPa 15.0MPa
95℃/22h 6.5MPa 5.5MPa

Physical and chemical properties

  • Ash content ≤2.0%
  • Oxidation induction time ≥15min(220℃)
  • Longitudinal shrinkage rate ≤2%
  • Oxygen permeability ≤0.32mg/(m²·d)(oxygen barrier tube)

Engineering application suggestions


Selection guide

Select the S value of the pipe series according to the level of use conditions:

  1. S5 series is recommended for heating system (level 4)
  2. For high-temperature water supply (level 2), it is recommended to use the S6.3 series.
  3. For cold water system (level 1), the S10 series can be used.

Construction precautions

  • PB-H pipes need to be aged for 120 hours in a 23°C environment before installation.
  • The pipe wall thickness should be ≥1.9mm for hot-melt connection.
  • The distance between pipe supports should not exceed 1.5m.

Significance of standard implementation


The new version of the standard refines the technical indicators of PB pipes, solves the problem of missing specifications in the old version in terms of barrier layer pipes and large-diameter pipes, and provides a more complete technical basis for building water supply and drainage systems, especially for floor heating systems and high-temperature hot water transportation scenarios.
