6. Electrical resistance – 10^14 ohms cm
7. Modulus of elasticity – approximately 30,000 kg/cm^2
8. Vicat softening point – 81°C.
Dimensions of PVC pipes as per IS 4985-1981 are given in Table 8.1. It may be noted
that the pipe size indicates the outside diameter of the pipe. However, the sizes of the fittings
indicate the inside diameter. The dimensions of commonly used PVC pipe fittings are shown in
Fig. 8.14, for 25 mm pipe.
The description of the fittings and their technical data are given in Table 8.2.
