Definitions and History
©2003, 2004, 2005 - Plastics Pipe and Fittings Association
Plastic
• A material that contains organic, polymeric
substances of large molecular weight, is solid in its
finished state, and at some stage in its manufacture
or processing into a finished article, can be shaped
by flow
9 - Introduction
©2003, 2004, 2005 - Plastics Pipe and Fittings Association
Thermoplastic
• A plastic that can be repeatedly softened by heating
and hardened by cooling through a temperature
range characteristic of the plastic, and that in the
softened state, can be shaped by flow into an article
by molding or extrusion
Water analogy: Thermoplastics, similar to water, can be heated and cooled
repeatedly without any change in the material’s basic properties. (i.e., recyclable)
10 - Introduction
©2003, 2004, 2005 - Plastics Pipe and Fittings Association
Thermoset
• A plastic that, when cured by application of heat or
by chemical means, changes into a substantially
infusible and product
Egg analogy: Thermosets, similar to eggs, can be processed only once with
changes occurring in the material’s basic properties.
11 - Introduction

Monomer
• A relatively simple compound that can react to form
a polymer
Polymer
• A substance consisting of molecules characterized
by the repetition of one or more types of monomeric
units
Copolymer
• A polymer formed by the polymerization of two
chemically different monomers
12 - Introduction

added during the manufacturing process to give
desired product performance characteristics. These
can include the following:

• All thermoplastic pipe is extruded. Extrusion
is a
process whereby heated plastic forced throughExtruder
a
shaping orifice becomes one continuously formed
piece.

• Most voluminous thermoplastic non-pipe products
are injection molded. Injection molding is the

process of forming a material by forcing it, under
pressure, from a heated cylinder through a sprue
(runner) into the cavity of a closed mold.

Plastic Piping Materials
• Thermoplastics accounted for over 95% of an
estimated 11 billion pounds of plastic that went into
all pipe, conduit and fittings in 2002. The estimated
TIPS Market ($) share by
pipe/valves/fitting materials
for Year 2002 is shown in
the pie chart.

Material Characteristics
©2003, 2004, 2005 - Plastics Pipe and Fittings Association
Plastic Material Designations
• ASTM is the standards development organization
that classifies plastic piping materials by common
physical characteristics categories. Over the past
decade, there has been a movement to refine the
classifications in a more meaningful way; however,
the old designations are still in use.
29 - Introduction
©2003, 2004, 2005 - Plastics Pipe and Fittings Association
Plastic Material Designations
• Old ASTM Designations: Material Designation
– First Digit = Type
– Second Digit = Grade
– Third / Fourth Digit = Hydrostatic design stress divided by 100
• Example: PVC 1120
30 - Introduction

Plastic Material Designations
• New ASTM Designation Called Cell Classification

First Digit = Material
Second Digit = Impact Strength
Third Digit = Tensile Strength
Fourth Digit = Modulus of Elasticity
Fifth Digit = Heat Deflection Temperature
• Example: PVC 12454 (Similar to PVC 1120)

* Thermoplastic compounds can be reformulated to accentuate certain properties. Check
with product manufacturers for latest compound usage.
ABS material is not included in the Engineering and Physical Characteristics sections,
because most ABS applications in the USA are for residential drain waste and vent, rather
than industrial uses.
