    Could anyone point me in a direction to find pressure and temperature ratings for sch 80 cpvc & pvc pipe?
    Thanks!

    Isn't it written over and over on the pipe?

    If you're asking something like, "If it says I can have 200# @ 140F, what temp can I have at 30#?" I have no idea. Perhaps they exist, but I've never seen formulas for such conversion. My personal opinion is that neither the temp or the pressure ratings on the pipe should ever be exceeded regardless of the level of the other.

    Maybe this will help

    See the atttached for the specs of PVC and CPVC. The charts to derate pressures relative to the temperatrure is part of the doc.
