What Is an ABS Pipe?

The core of ABS resin lies in the synergistic effect of its three components:
Acrylonitrile: Provides chemical resistance and surface hardness
Butadiene: Provides excellent impact resistance and low-temperature toughness
Styrene: Provides excellent processing properties and glossiness
Depending on the different ratios of raw materials, ABS pipes can be classified into various grades, such as general grade, heat-resistant grade, flame-retardant grade, electroplating grade, etc. Among them, the ABS materials used for pressure pipelines have strict performance requirements: the minimum required strength MRS is ≥ 14 MPa, and the minimum overall usage (design) coefficient C is 1.6.

Core advantage

From inspiration to installation, we want to help create a home that fills you with delight and comfort.

Outstanding impact resistance

This is the most prominent feature of ABS pipes. When subjected to sudden attack, it only undergoes ductile deformation and will not crack. The TIR of the drop hammer impact at 0℃ is ≤8%

Widely applicable temperature range

It can be used for a long time within the temperature range of -40℃ to +70℃. The heat resistance is up to 105℃, which is much wider than that of PVC pipes.

Lightweight and high strength

The weight is only 1/8 of that of an iron pipe and approximately 5/8 of a PVC pipe. However, it has excellent mechanical strength and the working pressure can reach 1.6 MPa at normal temperature.

Low fluid resistance

The inner wall is smooth and does not accumulate dirt easily over time. It can maintain a high water flow rate all the time. Under normal usage conditions, its service life can reach over 50 years.

Common Applications of ABS Pipes

Building water supply and drainage：Indoor and outdoor water supply and drainage pipes, sewage pipes, ventilation pipes
Industrial fluid transportation: Corrosive medium transportation in industries such as petroleum, chemical engineering, electroplating, metallurgy, and pharmaceuticals.
Water treatment system: Piping for sewage treatment plants and swimming pool water treatment systems
Food and Beverage Industry: Food-grade Liquid Conveying Pipelines
Compressed air system: ABS is one of the few plastic pipe materials that can be used for compressed air pipelines, but it is necessary to consult the manufacturer.

why choose us

Key points to note

Pressure pipes and non-pressure pipes are incompatible: ABS pipes used in pressure systems must use pressure-specific pipe fittings and cannot be mixed with DWV (drainage/waste/ventilation) pipe fittings.
Pay attention to weather resistance: Long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays may affect the physical properties of ABS pipes. For long-term outdoor use, protection measures (such as coating with a protective layer or underground laying) need to be taken.
Risk of compressed air testing: Testing the pipeline system with compressed air poses safety hazards (due to the huge stored energy), and prior consultation with the manufacturer is necessary before conducting pneumatic tests.
Material purity requirement: ABS for pressure pipelines should be virgin material; recycled plastic is excluded.
