What is IPS Piping?
IPS simply means Iron Pipe Size. Piping is a general term used to describe any hollow, cylindrical carrier of liquids. Many piping materials are used to produce both pipe and tubing. Piping and tubing made of the same materials generally use different kinds of fittings. All piping made to the OD (Outside Diameter) of wrought iron pipe is referred to as being Iron Pipe Size, or IPS. The OD of most pipes is the controlling dimension in order to match with fittings. When the term OD or (Outside Diameter) is used, the dimension being referred to is always the actual diameter unless proceeded by the phrase "nominal". Nominal size is a term used for the comparative sizes of piping and tubing rather than the actual dimensions. Like 3/4″ or 1″. Nominal sizes of piping in sprinkler systems are not the actual sizes and are given in inches and fractions of an inch. For a given NPS (Nominal Pipe Size), the OD stays fixed and the wall thickness increases with schedule. For example, you go to the home improvement store to buy some sprinkler pipe and you find Schedule 40 and Class 200 sprinkler pipe available. Both pipes will have the same OD(Outside Diameter), but the Schedule 40 pipe will have a thicker inner wall than the Class 200. Schedule 80 pipe will be thicker than Schedule 40 pipe but will also have the same OD. The gray 1/2″ riser nipples you buy for sprinkler risers in flower areas are often Schedule 80 nipples. So even though IPS is somewhat of a dinosaur term, it is still used when referring to the pipe size of the PVC pipe you are buying at the home improvement store. What makes it even nicer is that the Schedule 40 fittings you buy will fit all of these pipes, because all that is changing is the pipe thickness and not the OD (Outside Diameter) of the pipe.
What are the materials used in injection molding machines?

What are the advantages of using PVC pipe instead of cast iron pipe for plumbing systems?
The advantages of using PVC pipe instead of cast iron pipe for plumbing systems include lower cost, easier installation, resistance to corrosion, and lighter weight.
What are the common materials used for water line pipe and how do they differ in terms of durability and cost?
Common materials used for water line pipes include PVC, copper, and PEX. PVC is durable and cost-effective but can become brittle over time. Copper is highly durable but more expensive. PEX is flexible, easy to install, and cost-effective, but may not be as durable as copper in the long term.
What is the difference between a 1 PVC pipe and a 1K PVC pipe?
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.
What is a PVC?

What are the different types of materials used in plumbing fittings, and how does an ABS to PVC coupling facilitate the connection between these two materials?
Plumbing fittings can be made from various materials such as copper, brass, PVC, and ABS. An ABS to PVC coupling is a fitting specifically designed to connect ABS (a type of plastic) pipes to PVC (another type of plastic) pipes. This coupling has two different ends, one that fits onto the ABS pipe and another that fits onto the PVC pipe, allowing for a secure and watertight connection between the two different materials.
