Today's marketplace offers North American utilities a wide variety of pipe materials to choose from. Pipe materials can differ significantly in performance capabilities and in the applications for which they are suitable. As a result, making direct comparisons between pipe materials can be challenging for utilities. This webinar is the second in a series offered by the PVC Pipe Association (PVCPA) which will take an in-depth look at different pipe materials and their properties, design methodologies, installation requirements and long-term performance in various applications. PVCPA engineers will provide comparative information on these topics for both PVC and DI pressure pipe that users of both materials will find helpful and that will enable utilities to make better informed decisions for their projects.
