Corrosion-Resistant Composite and Thermoplastic Materials

The handbook is designed for technicians and engineers looking for technical information on both basic materials and fabricated equipment, including design data, information on relevant national and international standards, associated manufacturing processes, installation data and advice on maintenance and eventual repair. The book also supplies information on companies qualified to supply both materials and fabricated equipment and is designed to facilitate the specification and selection of potential suppliers by both engineering and purchasing departments of both contractors and end-users. The nature, performance, cost and availability of the different materials and equipment fabricated from these materials is extremely wide and varied, varying from basic lay-up polyester resins to high grade filament-wound amine-cured epoxies for composite materials, and from simple PVC pipe systems to PTFE-based pipes and linings for the thermoplastic family. In order to allow the reader to establish an understanding of the corrosion-resistance of these different materials, approximately 150 fluids form the basis of a basic comparative study of corrosion-resistance of the composite and thermoplastic materials described in this book. This study is complemented by an analysis of typical cost structures for the supply and installation of standard pipe systems and vessels manufactured in these materials.Scott, D.
