or you need a better text book 
mine lists several differences for
vinyl tubing smooth (assumes straight and round piece)
vinyl bubing ribbed (assumes straight and round piece)
pvc
abs
So what are the differences for those?
What is the loss on 5 feet of rigid PVC compared
to stright smooth vinyl? Or to ribbed one?
