reducers in hdpe pipeline
reducers in hdpe pipeline
(OP)
Hello,
I have this question: I am installing a overland pipeline for service of slurry, I have transitions of size changes of 40'' to 48''mm, The pipeline is of HDPE material, and the reducers are flat bottom with the same material,using stub end flanges for the conections.
My question is if with this kind of reducer my system could be have wear problems, what do you think to install a rubber lined carbon steel reducers instead the original. Is this a better option
Thanks in advance.

RE: reducers in hdpe pipeline
That though is a big pipeline if you mean 40 inch to 48 inch, but then you added mm?
Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

My fluid is tailing (waste) from a copper processing plant and the velocity of my fluid is 1.2-1.8 m/s.
I work in the designing team and the idea of rubber lined was from construction team.
I agree with you, I dont see a problem using HDPE reducer.
About ''mm'' that was a typing error.
