Plastic Lined Piping Systems Plastic Lined Piping Systems Handling acids, corrosives, hazardous materials requires the best piping systems available. Plastic lined piping combines the best of both common piping systems, metallic and nonmetallic piping, into one. We can quickly furnish any fitting configuration and pipe pressure rating you require. Metallic pipe is subject to corrosion but, carbon steel is the most common material used for process piping.
Metallic pipe is strong, easy to work with, and inexpensive.
But, even mildly corrosive fluids can rapidly eat away, from the inside out, severely limiting the safe and economic use of metal piping. Serious contamination of the product is certain. Stainless and alloys offer greater corrosion resistance. Metallic piping is also subject to chemically induced stress cracking. Nonmetallic piping, fiberglass and thermoplastics, does not have the physical strength of metallic piping.
