If you have a 4inch PVC pipe that is capped at both ends how much weight can a 8 foot section hold?

The weight a 4-inch PVC pipe can hold depends on various factors, including the type of PVC, the conditions it’s under (like temperature), and how the weight is applied. Generally, a 4-inch diameter PVC pipe can support hundreds of pounds if the load is evenly distributed. However, for precise weight limits, consulting the manufacturer's specifications or engineering tables for the specific type of PVC is recommended. Additionally, it's important to consider safety factors and the method of load application.
