Non-Metallic Piping Materials

 PVC, CPVC, HDPE, GRP/GRE, and Concrete Non-metallic piping has become an important engineering solution for water, wastewater, chemical, utility, marine, and selected industrial services. Unlike metallic piping, these systems can provide excellent resistance to many corrosive environments while reducing corrosion-related maintenance. However, non-metallic does not automatically mean low-pressure, non-critical, or unsuitable for industrial service. The … Read more

Types of Stainless Steel Used in Process Piping | Grades, Selection, Standards & Applications

Stainless steel is one of the most important material families used in process piping because its chromium-rich passive surface can provide strong resistance to many aqueous, chemical, atmospheric, and high-temperature environments. But “stainless steel” is not a single material. Austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, precipitation-hardening, duplex, and super duplex grades can have very different corrosion resistance, strength, … Read more
