What is BS EN 17176‑2 – PVC-O solid-wall pipes standard about?
BS EN 17176‑2 is part two of the BS EN 17176 series specifies the characteristics of solid-wall pipes made of oriented unplasticized Poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC-O) for piping systems intended for water supply and buried drainage, sewerage treated wastewater, and irrigation under pressure or above-ground were protected from direct sunlight. It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in BS EN 17176‑2.
Who is BS EN 17176‑2– PVC-O solid-wall pipes standard for?
BS EN 17176‑2 on PVC-O solid-wall pipes standard is applicable to:

Why should you use BS EN 17176‑2– PVC-O solid-wall pipes standard?
Plastic piping comes in solid wall folded structure and is available in a variety of common materials. PVC is one of the plastic pipes is used which provides good flexibility, a smooth surface, and nontoxic quality.
BS EN 17176‑2 specifies the requirements for a piping system made from oriented unplasticized poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC-O) pipes and their components. The piping system is intended to be used for water supply, pressurized drainage, sewerage, treated wastewater, and irrigation systems to be used underground or above ground were protected from direct sunlight.
BS EN 17176‑2 specifies the characteristics of unplasticized poly (vinyl chloride) which is resistant to almost every type of corrosion, either chemical or electrochemical in nature which is beneficial for easy and helpful for the water supply and for buried and above ground drainage, sewerage, and irrigation under pressure in several industries or other entities.
BS EN 17176‑2 specifies a range of pipe sizes and pressure classes and gives a requirement and recommendations concerning colours for temperatures between 25 °C and 45 °C.
