34 Extrusion International 4/2021 PIPE EXTRUSION The choice of a certain pipe or material for pressurized water networks is conditioned by many factors, some technical and others economic. Among them are the low roughness of the material that will reduce the energy required to transport the water, its reliability and durability of the pipe, its behavior against transient phenomena that occur during the exploitation phase, the ease of installation, and of course its cost at the time of execution. The objective of TOM® PVC-O Pipes is to intelligently manage water resources. The pipes are subjected to stresses and tensions, both physical-mechanical and chemical and microbiological. These factors occur both in the soil and in the quality of the water they carry. The interaction of these factors is what determines the durability of an installation Complete Solutions in PVC-O Large Diameter Pipes for a Wide Variety of Applications
