PVC Pipes For Agriculture
PVC-U AGRICULTURE PIPES & FITTINGS
PVC PIPES FOR AGRICULTURE
Finolex offers an extensive range of agriculture PVC-U pressure pipes and fittings. These pipes and fittings are designed specifically for varied pressure and gravity flow applications in agriculture, irrigation, swimming pool applications, and domestic water supply including potable water supply.
Finolex agriculture PVC-U pressure pipes offer significant advantages. They are light in weight, easy for transportation and installation, and have a high flow rate. High resistance to chemicals and corrosion ensures an extended product life.
Stringent quality assurance approach across all stages of manufacturing gives the product a high degree of reliability, making Finolex agriculture PVC pipes a preferred choice for farmers, government institutions, domestic and commercial establishments and quality conscious people across the country.
Our agriculture pipes and fittings are recommended for water temperatures ranging from 1°C to 45°C. As the usage temperature increases, the strength of the pipes reduces along with the working pressure.Occasional rise in temperatures in the summer with concurrent reduction in temperature during nights has no adverse effect on the working pressure of pipes.
Finolex agriculture PVC-U pipes are manufactured in a wide range of sizes and pressure classes conforming to standard IS 4985 : 2021. These agriculture water pipes are available in sizes ranging from 20 to 400 mm in different pressure classes. They are available in two types of joints, Selfit (solvent cement joint) and Ringfit (rubber ring joint).
PVC - U AGRICULTURE - SELFIT PIPE
Conforming to IS 4985 : 2021
One end of the Selfit pipe is self-socketed and the other is plain. The snug fit of one pipe into the other due to the self-socketed and plain pipe fitment and solvent cement application, eliminates the use of any couplers.
PVC - U AGRICULTURE - RINGFIT PIPE
Conforming to IS 4985 : 2021
Finolex Industries introduced this unique range of PVC-U pipes for the first time in India. These pipes are especially designed for higher diameter requirements and eliminates the need for solvent cement. The range includes sizes from 63 mm to 400 mm diameter; in 2.5,4,6,8, 10 and 12.5 kgf/cm2 working pressure classes.
PVC FITTINGS (Moulded & Fabricated)
A wide range of moulded fitting manufactured as per the IS 7834 standards are available. We also manufactured fabricated fittings as per IS 10124.

-
Increased product life as these pipes are free from weaknesses caused by scaling , rusting, weathering and chemical action -
All Weather Jointing -
Ringfit pipelines can be tested and put to immediate use after jointing as there is no curation period needed -
Non-reactive to acids, alkalis, effluents, salt, and minerals -
Smooth inner walls minimize frictional losses and scaling due to precipitation -
In ringfit pipe deflection of pipes due to soil shifting and land contour can be easily accommodated up to 2 degrees per joint -
Lead Free
Applications
PVC-U pipes are used for efficient transportation of water in agriculture and allied applications like:

Additional information
1. The pipes should be laid on a firm soft surface.
2. The pipes should never be laid on rocky surfaces and where sharp objects may damage pipes.
3. The pipes are not suitable in waterlogged areas.
4. The pipes should not be laid on stilts, stubbed columns or supports.
5. The ring fit pipes offer the flexibility of movement of 2 degrees in each joint.
6. The pipes should be laid at sufficient depth below the ground to avoid damage due to the movement of heavy vehicles or machines.

Agriculture water pipes are normally laid down at a depth of 1 meter below the ground surface, excluding the OD of the pipeline.
-
For the agriculture pipeline scheme, how many pipes of 6 kg/cm2 are recommended from the source of water or pump?
It all depends on the design from your consulting engineer based on the head of the pipeline (static + frictional) and other head losses, water surge/hammer. “L“ section from your engineer will clearly indicate the exact number of 6 kg/cm2 pipes at the beginning of the pipeline.
-
What could be the normal reasons for Agri pipes bursting in an Agri pipeline?
Faulty pipeline design, deviations from the design, wrong pipe size in mm (undersize), High HP motor/pump, insufficient and wrongly placed air valves, and poor-quality PVC pipes and many more, can lead to bursting of pipes in agriculture pipelines.
-
