ASTM D1785 and ASTM F441 - PVC and CPVC Pipes Schedule 40 & 80
Standard dimensions and weight of PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride - and CPVC - Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride.
Typical weight and dimensions of industrial PVC and CPVC pipes equal to steel pipes schedule 40 and 80 are indicated in the table below.
- ASTM D1785 Standard Specification for Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) Plastic Pipe, Schedules 40, 80, and 120 is manufactured to meet the needs of a broad range of industrial, commercial and residential piping systems. ASTM D1785 covers pipes made for water distribution and irrigation systems.
- ASTM F441 Standard Specification for Chlorinated Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (CPVC) Plastic Pipe, Schedules 40 and 80
Chlorinated Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (CPVC) pipes are usable for water distribution at elevated temperatures.

PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride
PVC is the strongest and one of the most widely used plastic pipe. PVC has poor resistance to solvents and is used for both pressure and non-pressure applications. PVC is approved for potable water systems.
- strong and rigid
- resistant to a variety of acids and bases
- may be damaged by some solvents and chlorinated hydrocarbons
- maximum usable temperature 140oF (60oC)
- usable for water, gas and drainage systems
- not usable in hot water systems

CPVC - Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride
CPVC is a chemical modification of PVC, with an extra chlorine atom in its structure that extends the service temperature to about 180 - 200°F (82 - 93°C). Sizes and other properties are very similar to PVC.

Note!
- ASTM D2665 covers PVC drain, waste and vent pipe and fittings
- CPVC pipes are available in Copper Tube Sizes (CTS) - in accordance to ASTM D2846 "Standard Specification for Chlorinated Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (CPVC) Plastic Hot- and Cold-Water Distribution Systems".
