ABS Plastic Pipes - Application
ABS Plastic Pipes - Application
(OP)
Hello,
I want to experiment with ABS plastic in automotive underbonnet applications.
Ambient pressure, air medium with temperatures expected to be about 100 deg C.
Will ABS maintain its shape and rigidity at these temps?
Such as ABS used in sewage and water works?
PVC and UPVC is a complete no no so far, found out the hard way.
Anyone?

PP has a slightly higher limit 105-150 C,
CPVC has limit 110 C,
Polycarbonate has limit 120 C,
and nylons have various limits.
Of course, epoxies, glass-filled polyester, phenolics have higher limits and rigity.

Thanks for the replies.
I am going to try ABs or PP which ever is cheaper. If I can find it locally.
Machinery Handbook?
What do you mean?

A very good reference on materials & physical properties, fasteners, machining, mechanical engineering for non-MechE majors, etc.
