RE: u-PVC & c-PVC
I suspect the cost of cpvc is also greater than pvc for the same schedule/thickness (I guess due to extra processing issues etc.), as appears is also illustrated on this same basic site where you can compare at least list prices at h
I know some failure modes of both types of piping were discussed in a paper “Failure Analysis of PVC and CPVC Piping Materials”, by Michelle Knight of Noveon presented in NACE “Corrosion2003”, though CPVC is apparently alleged by some to be a “...stronger, more chemically resistant material..” (such as when offered up as a replacement for failing regular pvc ventilation piping such as in the article, “CPVC Piping System Prevents Corrosion” at http://www.pfonline.com/articles/089804.html).
You might consider posting this in the “Plastics Engineering” forum if this information is insufficient.
