VIABILIDADE DA TROCA DE TUBULAÇÃO GALVANIZADA DE ÁGUA POR TUBULAÇÃO DE PVC

Abstract

The present study has as its theme “Feasibility of the exchange of galvanized pipe by PVC pipe ”, limiting the investigation to water pipes. So the present This study aimed to review the literature on the feasibility of exchanging galvanized PVC pipe. The objective was also to discuss the main characteristics of the Water; review the literature on the performance of water distribution systems; identify the materials employed in water piping, addressing their performance and durability. Cast iron is the dominant material in water pipes, however, the tendency of recent years is the replacement of these pipes by PVC pipes. Thus, it is justified to use this research because of the need to identify in the literature research that indicates performance standard of PVC pipes equals or exceeds the performance of PVC pipes. since the age of the infrastructure of coupled with the continuing stress of these distribution systems on environmental and to which they are subjected, have led to their deterioration. Thus it was intended show that PVC pipes are more advantageous as they have high corrosion resistance, low thermal and electrical conductivity, low weight, low flow resistance, good flexibility and elasticity of handling and low cost.
