Fracture analysis of defect Chlorinated Poly Vinyl Chloride pipes based on burst pressure and prediction their fraction of life by Fatima Gugouch, Achraf Wahid, Youssef Bassir, Mohamed Elghorba

“… Most Chlorinated Poly Vinyl Chloride (CPVC) resins contain 63-69 % chlorine, in particular those used for the extrusion of plumbing tubes, due to this chlorination of basic PVC, CPVC offers a mixture of corrosion resistance and low installation costs for its main applications requiring service in non-ambient conditions. CPVC replaces copper owing to its economic gain and by virtue of its pressure resistance characteristics. …”
