Informationen zum Autor Founded in 1971 as a non-profit organization, the Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association is the authoritative source of information on PVC pipe. It serves the engineering, regulatory, public health and standardization communities. Klappentext "The Handbook of PVC Pipe: Design and Construction" is the Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association's preeminent publication. Prepared with the objective of being the most comprehensive reference text on PVC pipe and fittings, this handbook provides practical engineering and construction information together with recommendations applicable to the design and use of primarily underground PVC piping systems, in both pressure and non-pressure applications. It is used by engineers across North America in the utility and consulting engineering sectors, as well as in universities and technical institutions. New to the Fifth Edition: Four new chapters - General Construction, PVC Pressure Pipe Installation; PVC Non-Pressure Pipe Installation; Trenchless Installation of PVC Pipe; and, Molecularly Oriented Polyvinyl Chloride Pipe (PVCO). It includes updated and improved graphs and tables. It features an open page format.
