This is not necessarly true. It all depends on which pipe has a higher bar rating, because the higher the rating, the higher the thickness of the pipe. For example a 5 bar PVC pipe is weaker than a 16 bar poly pipe and visa versa.

Is PVC and polyethylene the same thing?
They are similar but different. PVC is stronger & more rigid than polyethlene and is used for wastelines & polyethylene is used for water lines.
Which is stronger Polyethylene or dyneema?
Polyethylene Which is stronger Polyethylene or dyneema?
Is Reynolds plastic wrap made from PVC PVDVC or Polyethylene?
PVC
Is sdr 35 pvc a hdpe pipe?
NO - pvc is Polyvinyl chloride, not hgih-density polyethylene
What is the difference between polyethylene and PVC in considering strength?
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
Is polystyrene or polyethylene stronger?
No, both are different. Polystyrene is a polymer of styrene (C6H5CH=CH2) whereas polyethylene is a polymer of ethylene (CH2=CH2).
Why is polyamide stronger than polyethylene?
The molecular structure of polyamides are impecable and superior to polyethylenes because of the amino group at the end of the chain.
Why is polythene used to make bags?
Plastic bags can be made of different polymer types such as: High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Medium-Density Polyethylene (MDPE) Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Linear low-density polyethylene Higher density polyethylene polymers have stronger cross-links for linking large chains to another which is usually how plastic bags are able to stretch more and can hold heavier objects. Hence being stronger.
What are the names for plastics number 1 to 5?
If you think to recycling codes: - 01 is for polyethylene terephtalate (PET) - 02 is for high density polyethylene (HDPE) - 03 is for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) - 04 is for low density polyethylene (LDPE) - 05is for polypropylene (PP)
How do you join polyethylene pipe to PVC pipe?
It depends on the size of PVC. For smaller PVC you can buy fittings that glue onto the PVC and allow a thread x barb fitting to be installed. For larger pipe you should get a brass compression fitting that clamps down on the PVC and adapts to a thread x barb fitting.
What are the reactants and products of plastic?
Plastic polymer is comprises of about 70% of petrochemicals. The main byproducts of plastic polymers are High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), PVC, Polystyrene and Polypropylene.
What makes a trash bag strong?
Polyethylene makes a garbage bag stronger!!!!!!!!!!!! dah
