Polyvinyl chloride Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) pipe and tubing are available in sizes 12 in and smaller for PVC and 4 in and smaller for CPVC. They have excellent resistance at room temperature to salts, ammonium hydroxide, and sulfuric, nitric, acetic, and hydrochloric acid but may be damaged by ketones, aromatics, and some chlorinated hydrocarbons.

Post-chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (cPVC) is a material which offers a combination of mechanical strength, temperature and corrosion resistance and low installation costs, that meets a variety of process uses. This comprehensive article describes cPVC s key properties in detail and highlights the various industries and applications for the polymer, particularly pipes and fittings. [Pg.146]

The source of copper in drinking water is the plumbing used to convey water in the house distribution system. In small amounts, it is not detrimental to health, but it will impart an undesirable taste to the water. In appropriate concentrations, copper can cause stomach and intestinal distress. It also causes Wilson s disease. Certain types of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipes, called CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride), can replace copper for household plumbing. [Pg.148]

Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride. As implied by its name, chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is a chemical modification of PVC. CPVC has properties very similar to PVC but the extra chlorine in its structure extends its temperature limitation by about 50°F (28°C), to nearly 200°F (93°C) for pressure uses and about 210°F (99°C) for nonpressure applications. ASTM D 1784, the rigid PVC materials specification, also covers CPVC which it classifies as Class 23477-B. By the older designation system, it is known as Type IV, Grade 1 PVC. CPVCs for pressure pipe are designated CPVC 4120 [i.e.. Type IV, Grade 1 CPVC with a maximum recommended hydrostatic design stress of 2000 Ib/in (13.8 MPa) for water at 73.4°F (23°C)]. At 180°F (82°C) the maximum recommended hydrostatic design stress for CPVC is 500 Ib/in (3.4 MPa). [Pg.748]

There are several plumbing material types for a householder to choose from when deciding on a plumbing material to be installed in a house copper, plastic (CPVC and PEX), and stainless steel. According to Marshutz survey (2000), copper is used in nearly 90% of homes in the U.S. followed by PEX (cross linked polyethylene) with a 7% installation rate, and CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) with a 2% installation rate. Telephone surveys of plumbers conducted in 2005 show an increased use of plastic pipes, due to easier handling in installation and lower material cost (Scardina et al., 2007). [Pg.423]

Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is more highly chlorinated than PVC. CPVC is commonly used for chemical or corrosive services and hot water above 140°F and up to 210°F. CPVC is commercially available in sizes of % inch to 12 inch for Schedule 40 and Schedule 80. Exposed CPVC piping should not be pneumatically tested, at any pressure, due to the possibility of personal injury from fragments in the event of pipe failure. [Pg.84]

Chemical/Physical. In a laboratory experiment, it was observed that the leaching of a vinyl chloride monomer from a polyvinyl chloride pipe into water reacted with chlorine to form chloroacetaldehyde, chloroacetic acid, and other unidentified compounds (Ando and Sayato, 1984). [Pg.1147]

About one-third of the 40 million tons of chlorine produced annually goes to the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride, PVC, which is one of the most versatile of all plastics. PVC is ubiquitous, being used for pipes, flooring, electrical insulation, wallpaper, school supplies, swimming pools, and many other daily-use products. [Pg.388]
