Burst pressure of MPVC

[martinholmesuk]

Hi there,

I wish to use 40mm MPVC pipe in the engine bay of my car to channel boost from turbo.

The pressure will be 15PSI + Engine heat.

Anyone know if the PVC will handle these factors?

Cheers

Martin

Martin,
You need to go to the manufacturer of the mpvc to get the properites they will stand behind. Most manufactures have a web site you can go to if you want to find out the recommended working pressure, and how much to derate the pipe for a given temperature.

Thanks, I don't know who made the pipe but it's 3mm pipe.

40mm ID and 43 OD
