In most cases, there may not be access to testing tools or controlled environments. However, you can still get a good sense of the quality of PVC steel wire tubes by using your senses—sight, smell, and touch.
1. Check the shape of the inner diameter and the uniformity of the wall thickness. A high-quality PVC steel tube should have a perfectly round inner cavity and evenly distributed walls. For example, take a PVC pipe with an inner diameter of 89mm and a wall thickness of 7mm. Poor quality pipes might have uneven walls, with some parts as thick as 7.5mm and others as thin as 5.5mm. This inconsistency can lead to bursting or deformation under pressure, which affects its performance and safety.
2. Look for bubbles or impurities on the surface. High-quality PVC steel tubes are clear and free from any visible defects. If the tube appears yellowed or has a cloudy look, it could indicate degradation, aging, or improper storage during production.
3. A good PVC steel wire tube should have only a mild plastic odor. If it smells strongly of diesel or other chemical fumes, especially in hot weather, it’s likely to be of lower quality. These strong odors can be harmful and unpleasant.
4. The inner and outer surfaces of a quality PVC steel tube should feel smooth and even. Low-quality tubes often have rough textures that can cause friction or damage when used in piping systems.
5. When measuring the wall thickness, always cut off both ends of the pipe and test the middle section. Some manufacturers may hide thin walls at the ends to make the product appear thicker than it actually is. This practice can lead to poor performance and early failure.
6. Cut a small section from each end of the PVC steel tube and fold the steel wire several times to check its strength and flexibility. If the wire breaks after just one or two folds, it's likely to be of poor quality. High-quality steel wire requires special tools to cut and is much more durable. The strength of the steel wire directly affects the overall quality of the PVC pipe, and weak wires can lead to irreversible deformation over time.
