    I'm not sure pvc is suited for pressurized chilled water systems. A suited material would be ABS. Your supplier should have flowcharts and pressure tables for the abs pipes!

    Iv'e always used ABS for chilled water also, i think it has a better impact resistance when its cold than PVC.

    I have no qualms using schedule 80 PVC for chilled water.

    There is no chart, but try and limit yourself to flows of 4 feet per second or less.

    PVC is not really suitable, ABS is an improvement, HDPE pre fabricated, pre-insulated, is the way forward nowadays
