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
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.
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.
PVC = polyvynlchloride
Semi-Rigid 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.
No, 30 gauge PVC is not heavier than 18 gauge PVC. In fact, the gauge number is a measure of thickness, and as the gauge number increases, the material becomes thinner and lighter. Therefore, 30 gauge PVC, being thinner than 18 gauge PVC, will be lighter in weight.
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
16 gauge PVC has a thickness of approximately 1.29 mm. The gauge system varies by material type, but for PVC, 16 gauge typically corresponds to this measurement. It's important to verify specifications with the manufacturer, as tolerances can vary slightly.
There is not much difference, however, plumbing PVC has a thicker wall, for obvious reasons, namely, water pressure.
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.
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.
this depends on the class of the pipe as the higher the class the thicker the pipe
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
Schedule 80 PVC electrical conduit is a type of conduit that is thicker and stronger than Schedule 40 PVC conduit. It is designed to provide extra protection for electrical wiring in more demanding environments. The specifications for Schedule 80 PVC electrical conduit typically include a higher wall thickness, increased impact resistance, and the ability to withstand higher temperatures compared to Schedule 40 PVC conduit.
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.
High pressure PVC refers to polyvinyl chloride pipes that are specifically designed to withstand high pressure applications, such as water distribution systems or irrigation. These pipes are typically thicker and have higher tensile strength than regular PVC pipes, making them suitable for use in demanding environments where increased pressure resistance is needed.
