Methodology
Plastic (PVC) density and calculation basis
Evidence status: needs-review.
PVC density depends on formulation and additives.
composition: PVC resin families and application-specific grades
Source basis: INEOS, PVC product families and grades. About: product types and grades. https://www.ineos.com/industry/products/polymers/pvc/ Applicability: context-only.
Obtain density evidence for an identified rigid PVC formulation.
For this direction, volume is calculated as mass divided by density after normalizing the units to kilograms and cubic meters. The resulting page multiplier is 0.086831 gal (US) per lb.
Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
