Thermoplastic piping - guidelines for design and selection
Thermoplastic piping - guidelines for design and selection
(OP)
Dear All,
Our company has decided to integrate more and more piping made from thermoplastic materials. For this reason I am busy with the development of design guidelines, which can be used for project applications.
After a lot of searching all kind of resources, I lost completely the overview.
Does anybody has a good engineering document regarding the use of thermoplastic piping? (e.g. used by engineering companies or EPCM's)
Best regards,
GdL

The starting point could be:

and everything should flow from there.

Thanks to you all for this prompt reply.
Indeed the plasticpipe.org website is a good point to start and I have discovered already a lot of good information over there.
The document that John has uploaded is indeed the kind of specifications where I am looking at. Al other more detailed informations regarding plastic piping is still helpfull (indetailed information about sewer systems/welding & joining/pipe classes/fire water systems, QA&QC/testing procedures, etc.)
If some of you should have more information or examples of project specifications, this should be very helpfull.
Thanks you all again for all the help.
