PVC pipe
PVC is used for many different purposes. Some uses include plumbing, sprinkler systems, and furniture.
2.54 cm diameter, 3 m long, about 1 kg
Since water flows through it, the pipe must be water proof. It needs to be able to withstand a good amount of force so it doesn’t fracture easily. It shouldn’t corrode or rust when exposed to moisture.
PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride, which is a thermoplastic polymer.
The primary process that was used to make this pipe was extrusion.
Since most PVC pipes need to be long and have a constant diameter, extrusion seems like the easiest way to manufacture a large quantity. The material is right because it’s fairly strong and it’s also waterproof. It’s also cheap and light.
Millions of PVC pipes are manufactured for many different uses.
