'''Plastic pipe''' is a tubular section, or hollow cylinder, made of [[plastic]]. It is usually, but not necessarily, of circular cross-section, used mainly to convey substances which can flow—liquids and gases (fluids), slurries, powders and masses of small solids. It can also be used for structural applications; hollow [[Pipehttps://ajaypipes (fluid conveyance)|pipes]] are far stiffer per unit weight than solid members.

'''Plastic pipework''' is used for the conveyance of [[drinking water]], [[Wastewater|waste water]], [[chemical]]s, heating fluid and [[Coolant|cooling fluids]], [[foodstuff]]s, ultra-pure liquids, [[Slurry|slurries]], [[gas]]es, [[compressed air]], [[irrigation]], [[plastic pressure pipe systems]], and [[vacuum system application]]s.
