Unit Conversion Factors for CPVC Piping

The following tables provide essential unit conversions for working with CTS CPVC piping systems in both imperial and SI units.

Material Standards

CPVC piping components must meet specific material requirements as defined by ASTM standards.

• *ASTM D1784: The standard specification for Rigid Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) Compounds and Chlorinated Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (CPVC) Compounds. CPVC applications require *Class 23447 compounds.
• Typical CPVC Applications: Potable water distribution, corrosive fluid handling in industrial settings, and fire suppression systems.
