2. Polyvinyl chloride - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_chloride

   Polyvinyl chloride is formed in flat sheets in a variety of thicknesses and colors. As flat sheets, PVC is often expanded to create voids in the interior of the material, providing additional thickness without additional weight and minimal extra cost (see closed-cell PVC foamboard ).

3. Plastic pipework - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_pipework

   Polyvinyl chloride or uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) pipes are not well suited for hot water lines and have been restricted from inside water supply line use in the US for homes since 2006. Code IRC P2904.5 uPVC Not listed. uPVC has high chemical resistance across its operating temperature range, with a broad band of operating ...

4. Vinyl chloride - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_chloride

   Vinyl chloride is an organochloride with the formula H 2 C=CHCl. It is also called vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) or chloroethene. It is an important industrial chemical chiefly used to produce the polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Vinyl chloride is a colourless flammable gas that has a sweet odor and is carcinogenic.

5. Pressure switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_switch

   Switch enclosures may also be required to be weatherproof, corrosion resistant, or submersible. An electronic pressure switch incorporates some variety of pressure transducer (strain gauge, capacitive element, or other) and an internal circuit to compare the measured pressure to a set point. Such devices may provide improved repeatability ...

6. Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorinated_polyvinyl_chloride

   Depending on the method, a varying amount of chlorine is introduced into the polymer allowing for a measured way to fine-tune the final properties. The chlorine content may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer; the base can be as low as PVC 56.7% to as high as 74% by mass, although most commercial resins have chlorine content from 63% to 69%.

7. Closed-cell PVC foamboard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-cell_PVC_foamboard

   The mixture of polyvinyl chloride and polyurea has a good bond strength. Closed-cell PVC foam takes solid shape due to its linear structure. However, due to this structure, it is more brittle than open-celled PVC foam. It is available in densities varying from 3 to 25 pounds per cubic foot (0.048 to 0.400 g/cm 3). [3] It has a low flammability ...

9. Vinyl composition tile - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_composition_tile

   Vinyl floor tiling. Vinyl composition tile (VCT) is a finished flooring material used primarily in commercial and institutional applications. Modern vinyl floor tiles and sheet flooring and versions of those products sold since the early 1980s are composed of colored polyvinyl chloride (PVC) chips formed into solid sheets of varying thicknesses (1 ⁄ 8 in or 3.2 mm is most common) by heat and ...
