PE stands for polyethylene, which is the material used to make the plastic pipe. The numbers 80 and 100 refer to the density of the polyethylene, with PE80 having a lower density than PE100. The density affects the strength and durability of the pipe, with higher density pipes being stronger and more durable.

PE, PolyEthylen

The PE80 pipes have a Minimum Required Strenght (MRS) of 8 MPa

The PE100 pipes have a MRS of 10 MPa

These values are calculated from the circular tensile maximum (not sur about the translation, it is the radius Tensile which is applied all the perimeter of the pipe) during a designed life of 50 years at 20°C

Why are pipe cleaners called pipe cleaners?

The "Pipe Cleaners" most often encounter by people, intended for arts and crafts, are about 12 inches long and made from a plastic based material for the fluffy parts and wire. Nowadays they are often referred to as crafting stems or chenille stems. Pipe cleaners used for cleaning pipes, the smoking apparatus not the plumbing variety, are closer to 8 inches long and made from one 100% cotton. They are used to clean the soot/ash and moisture from steam and spittle that accumulates in the pipe's stem and bowl during smoking. Failure to use a pipe cleaner after smoking can result in a build up in the pipe that give the smoke a sour taste as well as clog the pipe's stem.

Can plumbing pipe be measured by liner feet and if so what would be the rule of measurement?

All pipe is measured in liner feet. I'm not sure what your asking. 100' of 1" pipe means that you have a 1" pipe that is 100" long. That's liner feet. If your asking about volume of pipe as in how much water will a 4" pipe hold that is 100' long then that's just a simple geometry equation. volume of a cylinder.
