What does it mean by PVC gauge?
PVC gauge is the thickness of the PVC material: 1 gauge = 1/100 mil = 1/100,000 inch = 25.4/100000 millimetre = 0.254 micrometre
What is the difference between PVC schedule 40 and PVC 80?
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.
What are the advantages Pvc Single Core Cables?
A single-core cable generally has a higher current rating because it can be separated from neighbouring cables to allow any heat generated to escape. However if power cables continuously run warm it is a sign that they are being run uneconomically and the use of a thicker wire gauge is indicated, because the extra capital costs of a thicker cable would be more than offset by the saving on the cost of the energy wasted in heating the cable.
What is the full name for PVC?
PVC = polyvynlchloride
What is SR PVC?
Semi-Rigid PVC
Is 23 gauge viynl PVC thicker than 30 gauge viynal PVC?
I believe that 30 guage is thicker than 23 guage. If you shop around the higher guage PVC is always on the more expensive items such as water trampolines or white water kayaks/boats.
What does it mean by PVC gauge?

How can you tell the difference between electrical PVC and plumbing PVC?
There is not much difference, however, plumbing PVC has a thicker wall, for obvious reasons, namely, water pressure.
What is the difference between PVC schedule 40 and PVC 80?
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.
What is stronger K 80 vinyl or 18 gauge PVC?
The value "80" in k80 is relatred to the hardness. The gauge related to the weight for a givens surface of material. For example my inflatable kayak is made of k80 28 gauge pvc.
What is the outside diameter of an one inch PVC pipe?
this depends on the class of the pipe as the higher the class the thicker the pipe
What is the difference between electrical PVC and plumbing PVC?
electrical PVC is not bar pressure tested and is therefore quite thin and does not contain certain chemicles in the pipe to stop water corrosion where as plumbing PVC pipes are tested and generally thicker and must be in order to prevent burst pipes and pressure spikes
What is PVC conduit?
PVC stands for Poly Vinyl Chloride. It is the chemical compounds that make up plastic. In short PVC conduit is plastic pipe that is used in the electrical trade. The lengths are glued together with PVC glue and usually used for underground electrical systems. It comes Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 (thicker) and comes in the same sizes as metal conduit Electrical PVC conduit is usually grey; plumbing PVC pipe is usually white
How many mm is 32 gauge PVC?
There are various standards. Below are two examples. 32 gauge American Standard (Brown & Sharpe) = 0.00795 inches = 0.202 mm. 32 gauge British Standard (Imperial) = 0.0108 inches = 0.274 mm.

Can you use plumbing PVC for electrical wiring?
No you shouldn't. It will fail inspection. Use electrical (grey) conduit. It is about the same price and has the proper electrical insulating properties required. The thicker PVC(schedule 40) is best, although schedule 80 is acceptable. (Schedule 40 is required for underground service feeders.)
What does PVC mean?
If you are revering to PVC as in "PVC pipe" or "PVC clothing" then is stands for Polyvinyl Chloride.
