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.
Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) pipes can withstand heat up to 180 degrees. A special glue is used to blond it together. PPR pipes are a made of plastic and uses no glue as it is heat-fused. PPR is a commercial product.
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
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.
You don't specify anything to compare it to. If you mean the difference between LDPE and HDPE, then LDPE has branched chains which pack together loosely, making a softer material. HDPE is firmer because it has unbranched chains which pack together tightly.
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).
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)
There is a lot of differences between PVC and Fiberglass. Fiberglass is going to be stronger and PVC is the plastic tubing that you find in local home repair stores. PVC tubing is cheaper than fiberglass. Fiberglass tubing is lighter in weight. PVC tubing can be bent when heat is applied, but fiberglass tubing is fixed and will break, not bend.
I was in the PVC pipe manufacturing business for over 30 years and have never heard of a "1K PVC" pipe. If "1K" means a 1,000 psi pipe, this does not exist as a commercial product. Sorry.
