Engineers & Contractors: Are you asking the right questions about your PVC conduit?

Beyond basic material properties, a conduit's true worth is in its mechanical performance. Its ability to perform under stress is the key to a safe, durable, and code-compliant installation.

We're diving deep into the two most critical performance tests that predict long-term success:

Bending Tests: Ensuring flexibility without failure in tight installations.

Collapse Tests: Validating strength against pressure from concrete or soil.

Understanding the nuances of these tests across different standards (UL, CSA, IEC, AS/NZS) is essential for making informed decisions and avoiding field failures.
