termoplastic piping for drainage water at 95¦C continuous

(OP)
I want to know about some termoplastic piping for drainage water at 95°C continuous in the discharge of autoclaves. If not possible termoplastic piping I want to know other material piping.

RE: termoplastic piping for drainage water at 95¦C continuous

Thermoplastics at 95 degrees C is a tough situation. From historical perspective I think most autoclaves have been piped in either copper or stainless steel. I think today most people use stainless steel in aeseptic environements.

There are some fiberwound epoxy pipes that can withstand these temperatures. There are some fluoropolymer or fluorpolymer lined pipes that can withstand that temperature. These are not thermoplastics.

I am wondering what your desire is for thermoplastics. If it cost then not always are thermoplastics a lower cost option. Selection of material can be influenced by many factors including: desired line size, maintenance requirements, support needs, fluid composition, operating pressure and thermal cycling.

I could give you some more advice if I understood more of your problems. dprice000@americanisp.net

Polypropylene piping is good for 110 deg.C
