Common Terms for PVC Pipe, Fittings, and Parts

  Common Terms for PVC Pipe, Fittings, and Parts ABS  or Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene is a group of plastics made from polymers with prescribed percentages of acrylonitrile. Adapter  is a fitting that joins two different pipes together. It can also join threaded with nonthreaded pipe. Aging  is the act of exposing materials to an environment for a period, or the effect on materials that have been exposed to an environment for an extended. ASTM  stands for American Society for Testing and Materials. Known today as ASTM International, this is a leader in international standards use for safety, quality and consumer confidence. There are a number of ASTM standards that apply to PVC and CPVC pipe and fittings. Beam Loading  is the process of applying specified force to a piece of pipe that’s supported at two points. This is usually expressed in pounds per distance between the centers of the supports. Belled End  pipe is made to flare out at one end, whic...

Difference between CPVC & PVC

  CPVC and PVC are both types of plastic piping commonly used in plumbing applications. However, there are some key differences between the two. Material: PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is a thermoplastic made from vinyl chloride monomer. CPVC, or chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, is made by adding chlorine to PVC. The resulting material is more heat-resistant and can handle higher temperatures than PVC. Applications: PVC is commonly used for cold water distribution, drainage, and venting systems. CPVC, on the other hand, is suitable for both hot and cold water applications and is commonly used for hot water distribution, as well as for sprinkler systems, fire protection systems, and industrial piping systems. Strength and Durability: CPVC is generally more durable than PVC and can withstand higher pressures and temperatures without breaking down or corroding. Cost: CPVC is generally more expensive than PVC, but the higher cost is offset by its superior strength, durability, and heat re...
