ABS Pipe Systems (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)

ABS industrial pipe systems tend to be chosen over PVC in applications where low operating temperatures or where the chemical compatibility of PVC is unsuited. ABS pipe is quite a ductile material which means that it is less brittle at lower temperatures than PVC. ABS can provide excellent resistance to impact damage at temperatures from as low as -40°C and up to 70°C. It is for this reason that ABS pipe and fittings are the best choice for cold process lines such as chiller circuits with glycol and those carrying ice slurries, such as ice cream and chilled food factories.

ABS pipe is mid to light grey in colour, as opposed to the dark grey of PVC. Care should be taken when identifying by colour alone, however, as some older PVC (up until the late 1990s) was also manufactured in a light grey. It is also possible to confuse it with Corzan CPVC which is also a light grey colour in the UK and Europe.

Use of ABS for compressed air: Our ABS pipe systems are NOT suitable for compressed air. The reason for this is that even very small amounts of oil in an airline can react with the ABS material and chemically attack it. Most compressor lines have oil filters however even trace amounts can cause pipe failure. This can be exacerbated in new pipe systems where there are residual solvents from cleaners and cements in the pipe which have not been flushed out.

The are some more specialist ABS pipe systems that are marketed for compressed air, but these use a special formula of ABS, which is different to the standard ABS used for pipe systems such as the ones we supply.

Other industrial uses: ABS plastic is widely used in many industries due to its properties of ductility (meaning it can deform and then reform to its original shape) and the ability to achieve a very high-quality gloss finish in the moulded product. It is commonly used in items like power tool bodies, phone and instrument cases, car dashboards and Lego®, where the ability to look good and deform to attach one brick to the other, and then reform when taken apart is very important.

ABS Pipe System Specifications
Specifications
ABS Pipe Operating Temperature ABS pipe has a recommended operating temperature of between -40°C to +70°C and so is often the choice of pipe system for cold applications. Unlike PVC pipe, ABS pipe does not shatter at low temperatures. Note, however, that at temperatures above 20°C, pressure derating factors come into play. See the table below.
Connection of ABS Pipe ABS pipe is generally solvent welded using proprietary cement and cleaner products, although threaded fittings and flanges are also available. ABS solvent welds together very quickly and so accurate pre-cementing measuring and marking up are essential. Once the joint is made, it cannot be turned or manipulated.
Abrasion Resistance of ABS Pipe ABS pipe has a very smooth bore and is hard wearing which makes it the plastic of choice for abrasive slurries. As with all abrasive fluid applications, it is preferable to keep fittings to a minimum and, where possible, use bends rather than elbows.
ABS Pipe Rigidity ABS pipe is designed to be a rigid product. Although there is some flexibility in a long length of pipe, it should be regarded as rigid and not flexible.
Electrostatics Unlike PVC pipe, ABS pipe does not build up static electricity, which is why, along with its excellent impact resistance, it is a plastic of choice for power tool bodies.
Toxicity of ABS Pipe All of our ABS pipe systems are WRAS approved for use with potable water systems in the UK.
Food Safety Whether or not a material is "food safe" depends on the nature of the food. Some foodstuffs, especially when in concentrated form, can be quite aggressive. Our recommendation is to consult the ABS Pipe Chemical Resistance Tables on our website. If you are still unsure, contact us and we will be happy to assist.
ABS Chemical resistance profile ABS pipe has a good resistance to weak acids and most alkalis. For more details please consult our ABS Pipe Chemical Resistance Tables or contact our office for more assistance.
Pipe Clip Spacing for ABS systems The correct spacing of pipe supports is important in an ABS pipe system installation. The recommended spacing changes with pipe diameter and temperature. Please consult our ABS pipe spacings table below, remembering that additional support will be required around elbows, heavy fittings such as valves and other equipment.
ABS Pipe Dimensions All our ABS pipe systems conform to all relevant UK standards for sizing of pressure pipe systems. It is important to note, however, that ABS pressure pipe is not size compatible with ABS waste or drainage pipe used in sink or bathroom-type applications. See Imperial ABS Pipe Dimension Tables. Metric ABS is only manufactured by one company and so is far more expensive than imperial (inch) sizes. We can supply this but do not list it on our website.
Pressure Rating of ABS Pipe As temperature increases, the pressure rating of ABS pipe decreases. See Pressure Derating Table for how to calculate.
Connecting ABS Pipe and Fittings

ABS pipe and fittings are joined together in several different ways:

  • Flanges or threads are often used to join the ABS pipe to other materials (such as brass or other metals and plastics) and to connect to equipment such as pumps, blowers, filters etc.
  • Solvent welding is the process used for the majority of the ABS pipe and fittings. With solvent weld, a "glue" is brushed onto the cleaned fitting and pipe and the two are then pushed together in one swift movement. The joint is very rapidly made and there is little room for any rotational movement of the fitting, once pushed together.

The rapid reaction of ABS pipe and fittings to the solvent cement is often something as a surprise for industrial pipe fitters who are more used to working with PVC Pipe. The latter gives a window of a few seconds, when the fitting can be turned and lined up; however, with ABS this window is reduced to almost half a second. It is therefore vitally important that pipes are properly measured, and that both the ABS pipe and fittings are properly marked prior to gluing together. ABS pipe systems can be assembled dry as a trial run, but ensure that they have not been cleaned with any solvents or cleaner first. The cleaner will key and soften the plastic and make it almost impossible to disassemble. Our ABS pipe systems are generally manufactured by: Polypipe Italia - Effast and Plimat.

What Size of Pipe do I need for my ABS Pipe System

Selecting the right size of pipe for your system doesn't have to be put to chance. Our free to use headloss and pipe sizing calculator will do the hard work for you and also has a lot of information on how to go about choosing the correct ABS pipe size for your system's characteristics.

ABS Pipe Dimensions

ABS pipe is generally manufactured in imperial sizes only. There is one manufacturer who supplies industrial metric ABS pipe pressure systems, but these tend to be far more expensive than inch sized systems and are not widely used. At Plastic Pipe Shop Ltd, we are able to supply metric ABS pipe and fittings from this manufacturer but do not list them as standard items to avoid confusion in ordering.

The imperial (or inch) measuring system used in ABS pipe and fittings is based around an approximate bore (internal) measurement of the pipe. Some first-time users find it very confusing as the "name" of the pipe, such as 2", does not actually relate to any specific measurement found - 2 inches measures 50.8mm, but neither the internal or external diameter of the ABS tube measures exactly that. The classification system is just letting you know what the approximate internal diameter of the ABS pipe is.

Class C is 9 bar operational, Class D is 12 bar (but not many sizes are manufactured in this class) and Class E is 15 bar operating pressure.

The dimensions of imperial ABS pipe are given below in millimetres:

Pipe Clip Spacing for ABS Pipe

The distances between ABS pipe supports shown below are minimum recommended values. Additional support should always be added to an ABS pipe either side of valves or equipment, especially if they are heavy, and also either side of horizontally mounted elbows and bends, as these will have a tendency to put stress on the pipe if not properly fixed in position. The aim of supporting plastic pipes is two-fold: firstly, to prevent the pipe from sagging, which may end up with debris settling in the low parts and/or air collecting in the high parts; and secondly, to remove any stresses on the pipe that, if left unsupported, could result in the failure of joints and fittings.

ABS Pipe WRAS Approval

All our plastic ABS pipe products are WRAS approved. WRAS is the acronym for "Water Regulations Advisory Scheme" which is an organisation that collates test results of materials and products for suitability with drinking water supply use from several different accredited laboratories. If the tests show that the requirements have been met, WRAS will award a certificate. Only WRAS approved materials and products can be used in potable water systems in the UK.

We supply a standard, rather than a specific make or manufacturer, of ABS pipe and fittings, and so the WRAS approval numbers may vary, but will generally be the following:

  • 1703070, 1703088& 1406537 - Polypipe Effast ABS Pressure Pipe and Fittings Range
  • 1412318& 1406538 - Plimat ABS Pressure Pipe and Fittings
  • 1406502 - Griffon ABS Solvent Cement Range.
