The material with which a pipe is manufactured is often the basis for choosing a pipe. Materials used for manufacturing pipes include:
路Carbon (CS) and galvanized steel
路Impact-tested carbon steel (ITCS)
路Low-temperature carbon steel (LTCS)
路Stainless steel (SS)
路Malleable iron
路Non-ferrous metals (includes copper, inconel, incoloy and cupronickel)
路Non-metallic (includes acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and toughened glass)
路Chrome-molybdenum (alloy) steel鈥擥enerally used for high-temperature service
The bodies of fittings for pipe and tubing are most often the same base material as the pipe or tubing connected: copper, steel, PVC, chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) or ABS. Any material permitted by the plumbing, health, or building code (as applicable) may be used, but it must be compatible with the other materials in the system, the fluids being transported and the temperature and pressure inside (and outside) the system. Brass or bronze fittings are common in copper piping and plumbing systems. Fire hazards, earthquake resistance and other factors also influence the choice of fitting materials.
