ABS Pipe Inch

Georg Fischer ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) pipe in inch sizes offers a durable, reliable solution engineered for water handling and many chemical applications. Designed to deliver strength, longevity, and consistent performance, these ABS pipes are ideal for both commercial and industrial settings.

• Long track record & strong engineering heritage: Georg Fischer has been around since 1802, and their Piping Systems division has decades of experience in plastics for industrial, building, and infrastructure use.
• Material quality & consistency: GF uses its own ABS compound, with tightly controlled raw material supply and rigorous testing. Their ABS meets strong physical and mechanical specifications: good density, tensile strength, impact strength (even at low temps), consistent wall thickness, and low out-of-roundness.
• Performance in demanding environments

  • Excellent impact resistance, even at low temperatures (down to −50 °C).

  • Excellent chemical resistance to dilute acids, bases, salt solutions, and glycols, making it suitable for many industrial or process environments.

  • Low thermal conductivity, halogen-free, and stable over long service life (25 years design life for water at 20 °C).

• Complete systems and support: GF doesn’t just supply the pipe, but full systems: fittings, valves, accessories, and jointing technology. They also provide full documentation, planning guides, and training, giving customers confidence that everything works together.
• Quality control & independent testing: GF operates accredited laboratories, uses external approvals and certifications, and adheres to rigorous quality and environmental management systems.

• BS standards (e.g. BS 5391-1)

  • What it is: British Standard for thermoplastic pipes, defining dimensions, tolerances, and performance characteristics.

  • Why it matters: Ensures compatibility with UK infrastructure and fittings; compliance with UK building and plumbing codes.

• EN / ISO standards

  • What it is: European and International standards for plastics, pipes, and fittings covering material properties, dimensions, and testing methods.

  • Why it matters: Provides global recognition of quality and performance; essential for engineering contracts and exports.

• WRAS (Water Regulations Approval Scheme)

  • What it is: UK approval confirming materials are safe for use with drinking water.

  • Why it matters: Essential for potable water systems; widely required for public and commercial projects.

• GOST-R

  • What it is: Russian/Eurasian certification demonstrating conformity with local standards.

  • Why it matters: Allows use in projects requiring compliance in Eastern Europe and Russia.

• Regulation 31 of the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2000

  • What it is: UK regulation ensuring materials in contact with drinking water are safe for human health.

  • Why it matters: Legally required for potable water installations; ensures systems pass inspection and approval.

• Internal GF testing
  • What it is: Georg Fischer’s own stringent testing regime, including impact, tensile, and Charpy testing.
  • Why it matters: Adds confidence in long-term durability, especially under stress and temperature variation.
