- The Fusion of freezing
-
The picture below shows the results of repeating test concerning the fusion of freezing in PB pipe.
The method of the test is to fill up the pipe being used for the test with water and repeat freezing and melting in the cycle of 20C, 16hr, 20C, 8hr.
The result of the test is that PB pipe doesn’t freeze and brust. It shows that PB pipe elastic enough to absorb cubical expansion to water.
But the result can’t be applied to plumbing without revision.
- The result of the test is that PB pipe doesn't freeze and brust. It shows that PB pipe elastic enough to absorb cubical expansion to water.
But the result can't be applied to plumbing without revision. For example, when the entire long pipe is frozen, there is no problem if all of them are frozen at the same time.
However, if the volume increase due to freezing is concentrated on a part of the pipe, there is a possibility of breakage.
