Why do you not quote the internal diameter (bore) of the pvc pipe and abs pipe?

0

Almost all plastic pipes are extruded in the same way as pvc pipe and abs pipe. The outside diameter of the pipe is the controlled measurement as this is what is used to fit into pipe sockets. The internal diameter of all such pipe types will vary a little depending on the pressure rating and size of the pipe but enough to warrant the internal diameter of the pipe to not be stated. We can advise on the likely internal diameter of a pipe, but we cannot guarantee it. Also different pressure ratings require different wall thicknesses of pipe and as the external diameter is the controlled diameter of the pipe, the internal bore varies with the wall thickness.
