APPENDIX IV<br />

Chemical Resistance Guide<br />

This guide is prepared to assist potential users of Fiberstrong pipe to determine<br />

the suitability of the pipe, which may be exposed to chemical & corrosive<br />

environments. The term resistance is used in the sense, which is <strong>com</strong>monly<br />

used in the pipe industry and not as the <strong>com</strong>plete retention of all optical and<br />

mechanical properties. The information provided herewith is based on resin<br />

coupon testing, corrosion resistance testing, field experience, published literature,<br />

resin manufacturers data, case history information and judgment. It is assumed<br />

that pipe and pipefittings are installed and used in accordance with normally<br />

accepted standard practices. Service life in aggressive chemicals depends upon<br />

the presence, type and thickness of the corrosion barrier and total wall thickness,<br />

concentration of chemicals, service temperature, and duration of use. It should be<br />

noted that the <strong>com</strong>bination of chemicals is sometimes more aggressive than the<br />

individual chemical. This guide is intended for use only as reference in evaluating<br />

Fiberstrong pipe. It should be used for a general indication of chemical<br />

resistance. Rubber gaskets (if used) must also be evaluated.<br />
