Abstract:

The object of this task is to determine the most suitable pipe materials or types of coated pipe which can be substituted at an economical advantage for presently specified systems, including pipe that is subjected to corrosive environments. This report pertains to a thermosetting plastic pipe used as a steam condensate carrier. The pipe has carried 2,487,500 pounds of condensate from 17 August 1961 to 31 December 1962 without fixed dimensional changes, visual evidence of degradation, or color change. Tests are continuing.
