PVC pipes are made of polyvinyl chloride and are one of the most resistant on the market, which is why they are also among the best sellers. Within this type of pipes are the transparent ones that, despite having the same properties as those that are not, are more recommended for certain applications.

Some facts you should know about pipes

When buying a pipe you will find different symbols. This could be the name of a type of transparent PVC pipe: Transparent PVC pipe ø12mm PN16.

This symbol 'ø' stands for diameter, which means that the pipe in question is, in this case, 12 millimeters in diameter. PVC pipes are distinguished in several measures in relation to this.

Another fact that must be taken into account when buying a PVC pipe, whether transparent or not, is what the PN designates. As you can see, in the example that we have given you, PN16 appears. This means that the maximum allowable bar pressure for this pipe is 16. We can find transparent PVC pipes with PN10, PN4, etc.

There is one more piece of information that you can find in the name of a pipe, which is PE, this means that the pipe is made of polyethylene and not PVC, both things are different. Polyethylene, for example, is less resistant to changes in temperature and other factors to take into account.

In which cases is the use of transparent PVC pipes recommended?

Transparent PVC pipes are mainly used in places where chemicals are used. On the one hand, PVC is very resistant, which makes it ideal for transporting items of this type. On the other hand, the fact that it is transparent allows you to see the chemical product that is being transported, which is a good advantage.

It is easy to find this type of pipes in laboratories, hospitals, medical centers or food industries, for example, but also in irrigation systems or in any industry where the transport of elements requires monitoring.

In Mundoriego we have different transparent PVC pipes both depending on the diameter and their classification in PN.

•          For maximum pressure of 16 bars we have pipes of 12, 16 and 20 millimeters in diameter.
•          For maximum pressures of 10 bars we have transparent PVC pipes of 25, 32, 40 and 50 millimeters.
•          For maximum pressures of 4 bars we have pipes of 63, 75, 90 and 110 millimeters.

A metering pump is a very useful tool in irrigation or water treatment systems, but there are several types of them. In this article we tell you which ones you will find in our catalog and we give you some more information about these accessories that you will be grateful to know.

What exactly are metering pumps?

These are tools that serve to supply liquids in a certain time and volume that, of course, we control. The pumps allow us to adjust the supply to the needs of our orchard, turning it into an autonomous system and allowing us to have better results without much effort on our part.

In these pumps you can integrate fertilizers or other chemicals but if that is our intention we must be very careful when choosing the materials they are made of to obtain a reliable and long-lasting solution. The ideal materials and for which it is convenient to bet are PVC or polyethylene.

The pumps must always allow a flow adjustment and this must be linear. They are, or must be, reproducible (ability to offer the same result in measurements made under the same conditions over time), repetitive in terms of measurements made by an operator in a short period of time for the same conditions; and precise in relation to the volume they displace.

The flow rate offered must always be the same even if the pressure in the system or pipe where the chemical is injected varies. It must also be leak-proof and secure. Only when all these characteristics are combined can we speak of quality pumps.

Types of dosing pumps

In our catalog you will find two types of dosing pumps: piston and electromagnetic.

Piston dosing pumps

With the operation of this pump a cylinder equipped with an inlet and an outlet moves. In the first cycle the liquid is absorbed by the inlet and expelled in the second by the outlet.

In Mundoriego you will find piston metering pumps three-phase and many other models. Get to know them all and contact us if you have any questions.

Electromagnetic dosing pumps

They are also known as solenoid type pumps and are often used for liquid delivery that requires more advanced control. The regulation of this type of pumps can be done in a ratio of 10:1, 100:1 and in some cases 1000:1. It usually costs a little more than the motor pump but allows a more exhaustive control, which is why it is one of the most demanded on the market.

In our catalog you will find various electromagnetic dosing pump models: single-phase, three-phase, etc. Explore all the options you have at your disposal and do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions. 

We are not only a specialist in dosing pumps, we are a specialist in many products on the market, we have for you: pool dispenser, accessories for outdoor pools, swimming pool lighting, What are you waiting for? visit our page irrigation online stores.
