Unit Conversion

$1 \text{ inch} = 25.4 \text{ mm}$

SDR (Standard Dimension Ratio)

The Standard Dimension Ratio (SDR) relates the outside diameter to the wall thickness:

$\text{SDR} = \frac{D_o}{t}$

Where:

$D_o$ = Outside diameter of the pipe
$t$ = Minimum wall thickness

For this table, the pipes have an *SDR of 11, meaning the outside diameter is 11 times the minimum wall thickness.

CPVC Material Properties

Chlorinated Poly Vinyl Chloride (CPVC) is a thermoplastic pipe and fitting material made with CPVC compounds meeting the requirements of *ASTM Class 23447 as defined in ASTM D1784.

Typical CPVC Applications:

Potable water distribution systems
Corrosive fluid handling in industrial applications
Fire suppression systems

Temperature Rating: CPVC is suitable for both hot and cold water distribution, with a maximum service temperature typically up to 200°F (93°C) at 100 psi.
