Plastic Compatibility With Turbine Lube Oil

[curvyrace]

Can anyone refer me to a guide to plastics compatibility with hydrocarbon and synthetic based turbine lube oils? I've tried DuPont and GE websites with not much luck. Waiting to hear back from DuPont Engineering. Thanks!

Take a look at these guides. The one for plastics might be what you are looking for:

Pipe materials compatability with the media transported is not the only element of piping system design.

The ASME B31.1/B31.3 piping codes contains cautions and restrictions about transporting flammable liquids in plastic piping systems.

Also, I believe the NFPA codes have similar restrictions.

My opinion only...

Thanks for the great tips! I had already found Compass and was hoping to keep from spending the $170. The application actually involves cart casters that must be compatible with the fluid being used in the system, not the piping.
