chemical composition
(OP)
Hello,
I'm looking to select the correct material for some pipes and fittings. The liquid that will be pumped through these pipes and fittings is unknown in terms of what its made of chemically.
Where can I get this liquid tested to determine its chemical make up? or is there a way for an M.E. to figure it out without an extensive background in chemistry.
Thank you

To a ChE, the glass is always full - 1/2 air and 1/2 water.

This is not a choice that an MBA can just dump on the mechanical engineering staff..
You will also need the max operating temperature and MAWP (maximum allowable working pressure) to determine the correct pipe wall thickness, flange rating, insulation thicknesses etc ....
