Chemical Corrosion Resistance Optimization of PVC-U Double-Wall Corrugated Pipes ——Industrial Drainage Applications Based on GB/T 18477.1 Standard

/ Post by by 孙飞虎

1. Research Background


PVC-U double-wall corrugated pipes occupy 48% of industrial wastewater transportation (2024 CPPIA), but face corrosion failures in strong acid/alkali environments (pH 2-12):


  • 30% sulfuric acid causes 1.5mm corrosion in 2 years, 18% wall loss
  • Traditional pipes only meet F1 chemical resistance (GB/T 1865-2009), failing 5-year requirements

2. Core Issue: Corrosion Mechanism

2.1 Failure Modes


Immersion tests (GB/T 11547-2008) and SEM reveal:
![Corrosion Modes Schematic](Figure 1)


  • Uniform corrosion (55%): Uniform wall thinning
  • Pitting corrosion (30%): Chloride-induced local perforation
  • Stress corrosion (15%): Stress-accelerated cracking

2.2 Key Parameters


Parameter GB Requirement Industrial Challenges
Vicat softening temp (℃) ≥79 High-temperature media (60-80℃)
Crosslinking degree (%) - Traditional <5%
Additive compatibility - Lead stabilizers poor in acid

3. Chemical Resistance Optimization

3.1 Crosslinking Modification


Electron beam crosslinking with TAIC:


Material Type Crosslinking Degree (%) Sulfuric Acid Corrosion Rate (mm/year) Elongation at Break (%)
Traditional PVC-U <5 0.8 200
Crosslinked PVC-U 25 0.3 150
FRP - 0.1 1.2


Breakthroughs:


  • 3D network structure (Figure 2) blocks solvent diffusion
  • 100kGy irradiation balances crosslinking and toughness

3.2 Nano-Composite Corrosion Layer


"PVC-U + nano-SiO₂ + fluororesin" composite:


Material Type Contact Angle (°) NaOH Corrosion Rate (mm/year) Hardness (HD)
Plain pipe 85 1.2 65
Composite pipe 105 0.5 72
PTFE 115 0.2 50

4. Structural Design

4.1 Differential Wall Design


"Corrosion-resistant outer-reinforced middle-corrosion-resistant inner" structure (Figure 3):


  • Inner/outer layers: 2mm crosslinked PVC-U (F3 chemical resistance)
  • Middle layer: 3mm GF reinforcement (ring stiffness +40%)
  • Maleic anhydride compatibilizer between layers

4.2 Joint Anti-Corrosion


Joint Type Traditional Design Optimized Design Leakage Resistance (years)
O-ring joint Single O-ring Dual O-ring + 防腐 coating 15
Electrofusion Regular welding Corrosion-resistant 焊丝 20

5. Engineering Solutions

5.1 Industrial Corrosion Standard


Based on GB/T 18477.1-2020:


Parameter GB Requirement Optimized Standard Test Method
Sulfuric acid corrosion (mm/year) ≤1.0 ≤0.5 Immersion test
NaOH corrosion (mm/year) ≤1.0 ≤0.6 GB/T 11547-2008
Long-term temperature (℃) ≤45 ≤60 Hot air aging test

5.2 Anti-Corrosion Construction


"Three Coatings One Liner" process:


  1. Epoxy coal tar primer (100μm dry film)
  2. Glass flake mastic (2mm thickness)
  3. PTFE topcoat (>10-year weathering)
  4. HDPE liner (1.5mm thickness)

6. Field Test Case: Chemical Park Drainage Project


Index Traditional Pipe Corrosion-Resistant Pipe Standard Requirement
3-year corrosion depth (mm) 1.8 0.7 ≤1.5
Leakage rate (times/year) 1.2 0 0
Maintenance cost (¥10,000/year) 80 25 -

7. Advanced Technology Prospects

7.1 Self-Healing Corrosion Pipe


Microcapsule repair agent (Figure 4) releases silicate glue for ≤0.3mm leak repair.

7.2 Smart Corrosion Monitoring


EIS sensors measure corrosion rate (±0.05mm/year accuracy) and predict remaining life.
