In order to melt PVC for casting, you will need to use a chemical mixture that is bought in stores and only used for melting PVC. You cannot burn PVC with fire, as the fumes are toxic.

What purpose of heat number write on the pipe?

Depends on what pipe you are asking about. Most pipe such as PVC has a max heat rating for internal and external temperatures. this is why regular white PVC should never be used for hot water from a hot water heater which can be 120 degrees (F) or more and melt regular PVC. That is why they recommend using CPVC which has a higher temperature rating. Depends on what pipe you are asking about.
