PLASTICS PIPE For Corrosive PETROCHEMICALS

Abstract

The petroleum industry has been quick to appreciate the possibilities of plastics pipe for handling corrosive fluids and gases, and is now using it in considerable quantities for a variety of applications, including the carrying of corrosive chemicals in refinery and petrochemical plant. From a research engineer in America comes the article below reviewing the main types of pipe materials available for such purposes, special attention being paid to the suitability of their properties for specific types of applications. Also included are hints regarding the installation of pipework.
