Analysing the difference between Stainless steel and PVC
Deciding if stainless steel pipes are better than PVC pipes is a discussion in itself. Nowadays, ss pipe fittings are being used by people. But PVC is something that has been used forever. SS pipes are said to be more durable and strong. Let’s see the difference between the two. Stainless steel V/S PVC 1. Strength- In comparison to semi-flexible PVC plastic, stainless steel performs better in terms of mechanical strength and rigidity. Because stainless steel is physically more resilient to stresses than PVC, it will require more power to bend and break PVC pipe than stainless steel. 2. Temperature tolerance- PVC has lower maximum and minimum service temperature ratings for temperature-based applications than stainless steel. PVC pipe can withstand temperatures of up to 140°F before starting to soften. Stainless steel pipes' precise temperature range can vary depending on the grade and composition of the metal, although it is typically rated to resist temper...
