the difference is that in pvc h-c is replaced with c-cl. c-cl is less oxidisible by air while h-cl is oxidisable hence flamable while cl-c doesn't
The difference between schedule 40 and 80 pvc is the wall thickness and schedule 80 is thicker then schedule 40 so the higher the schedule number the thicker the wall of the pipe thus can hold more pressure.
LLDPE has shorter and more branches its' chains are able slide against each other upon elongation without becoming entangled like LPDE which has long branching chains that would get caught on each other. This gives LLDPE higher tensile strength and higher impact and puncture resistance than the LDPE
The type of service they are to be used for In a home PVC is used for the drains,the drain vents,main out going sewer line,water supply lines for a boiler/heating system or sprinkler systems. In a home CPCV is used to supply water to sinks,toilets, showers,hot water heater and exterior faucets... Because of the difference in usage there is also a difference in the wall thickness between the PVC pipe and CPVC pipe... So a 3/4 in PVC fitting will not match up to a 3/4 in CPVC pipe and vise versa...
Any time male/female is used to describe something in construction, it refers to which part fits into the other. The male threads into the female part. It is not a type of thread, but how it does it.
PVC is the most common plastic used in book covering materials, and has been used for many years. Polypropylene has become more common recently. Both of these plastics have different handling characteristics. PVC is generally considered to be easier to fold and to conform to the shape of a book more readily, while polypropylene is usually a little more rigid. Sometimes PVC will stick to itself, particularly in warmer weather. Polypropylene is well known for it's non stick characteristics, in fact it is difficult to glue and even permanent marker can be removed from it, giving it superior life and resistance to damage and marking. Polypropylene is also acid free, and is considered to be an archival plastic. PVC is known to have a low level of acidity. PVC is cheaper than PP.
PVC in its native form is brittle and hard, adding other compounds called plasticizers makes PVC softer. Polyethylene's properties depend on the type. LDPE not as strong as HDPE due to irregular packing of polymer chains
LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) has more branching in its molecular structure than HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), giving it a lower density and flexibility. HDPE is more rigid and has a higher tensile strength compared to LDPE. LDPE is commonly used for packaging and bags, while HDPE is often used for bottles and containers.
its made with PVC. or LDPE NOT plastic.
The only difference between gray and white PVC piping is in the color. They're both PVC.
PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) is a type of plastic material known for its rigidity and durability, commonly used in piping and construction applications. HPL (High Pressure Laminate) is a material made by compressing layers of paper or fabric with resins under high pressure and heat, known for its strength, resistance to scratches, and aesthetic appeal. While PVC is a type of plastic, HPL is a laminated material used for surfaces like countertops and furniture.
There is not much difference, however, plumbing PVC has a thicker wall, for obvious reasons, namely, water pressure.
what is the difference between acrylic and pvc
Wall thickness, pressure rating and Price
The difference between schedule 40 and 80 pvc is the wall thickness and schedule 80 is thicker then schedule 40 so the higher the schedule number the thicker the wall of the pipe thus can hold more pressure.
There are a variety of types of plastic. Some of these include Polystyrene (PS), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC).
between 105-115 °C
LDPE is thermoplastic.
