Due to the super strength, the pipe wall can be much thinner than PVC-U pipes and PE pipes, which means TaijiBlue® PVC-O pipes enjoy a bigger inside diameter for the same specifications compared with PVC-U pipes, PE pipes and ductile iron pipes. So the flow capacity of TaijiBlue® PVC-O pipes is 20-50% higher than the previous pipes, which reduces the operating cost of the water network.
