i have a piece of ten inch pvc schedule 40. I use it to transfer rice coal by gravity to a lower bin that is on a hillside 16 ft long the coal moves quickly and is a a slope higher the the angle of repose. I have seen no pvc wear in 6 years of using it . There is no compassion like a auger pipe but it has seen volume and speed of rice coal.
I have seen no bits of white pvc in the lower bin and I need to sometimes rake it to auger point, end gives me a good look of the rice coal get every stage, of completion . just point of information]
nothing like stainless if you are in for the long term though
