Properties of ABS vs % Water
(OP)
Please advise if the long and short term mechanical properties of ABS are affected by its water content. I am specifically interested in an extrusion grade used for piping.

Do you mean water content during moulding, or water absorbed after being moulded dry.
Suppliers like Lenxis (spelling?), GE, Dow or BASF will have data

I have some old Bayer books in storage, I will try to find them and see what data they contain.

abs related concern,
I also had a problem where poorly moulded parts, months after moulding, starting taking in water, GAS marks on the product was the cause, as for some reason the parts acted like a sponge when gas marks had been produced (all ways by the night shift, setters joke lol) so simple vents and barrell, dryer temp check etc...if all ok then put and tiny system in place for Vent cleans every few hours problem gone, for now, then resource some good abs.
it could be this..
cheers
