Chilled Water ABS Installation - Problems
(OP)
We have recently installed an ABS chilled water pipework system (7 Degrees C flow 12degrees C return) The pipework varies in size from 200mm dia down to 32mm dia. We have experienced a number joint failure problems and sent samples of the failed joints to the manufacturers 'Durapipe'. Their analytical chemist has said the joint failure is due to the prescence of a small quantity of and un specified 'alkyl ester' which i understand to be a form of synthetic mineral oil. There doesnt appear to be any mention of this substance attacking cemented joints in their technical literature. Has anyone experince similar failures

A while back, we had a contract that required us to guarantee an epoxy lining was compatible with the proposed water treatment chemicals. When we contacted the water treatment chemical company, we were told that their chemical mix was proprietary, and information couldn't be released!
