Advantages:
Similar to Schedule 80 PVC, but with lower pressure ratings in exchange for reduced cost:
Fields of Application:
Compared with Schedule 80 systems, Schedule 40 PVC pipe and fittings are a lower-cost alternative for applications with lower pressures but requiring the same thermal and chemical resistance.
PVC) is one of the most broadly used thermoplastic materials, common to many industries. PVC is highly resistant to acids, alkalis, alcohols, and many other corrosive materials. It can be easily installed for chemical distribution and drainage, service piping, and irrigation systems.
