    Cellular Core PVC Pipe:
    Cellular or foam core PVC pipe conforming to ASTM F 891 is produced by
    Extruding a layer of foamed PVC between two layers of solid PVC, thereby
    Reducing the weight and cost of the product. Cellular core pipe is designed
    For drainage (non-pressure) service only. The stiffness of cellular core pipe
    In most diameters is lower than that of solid wall PVC pipe. Pipe stiffness
    Is a key factor in determining the ability of pipe to resist external loads such
    As earth or live loads in underground installations. For this reason many
    Specifiers believe that solid wall PVC pipe is more robust and better suited
    To the rigors of commercial construction.
