Pipe joint and manufacturing method of pipe joint

Abstract

Provided is a pipe joint including a cylindrical hollow, wherein the wall thickness of a part having the largest wall thickness of the pipe joint is 2 to 7 mm, the ratio of the length of the hollow in the axial direction (L) to the diameter of the hollow (D), (L/D), is 5 or less, the pipe joint contains a copolymer containing tetrafluoroethylene unit and a fluoro(alkyl vinyl ether) unit, the content of the fluoro(alkyl vinyl ether) unit of the copolymer is 2.8 to 6.0% by mass with respect to the whole of the monomer units, the melt flow rate at 372° C. of the copolymer is 4.0 g/10 min or higher and lower than 11.0 g/10 min, and the number of functional groups of the copolymer is 50 or less.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
