KEYNOTE: Important factors to consider when designing pipework systems for corrosive chemicals

About this presentation

Brief Description/Synopsis of Topic

• What is the difference between materials and why is this important to chemical resistance.
• The challenges of proving resistance and the importance of robust testing in real conditions.
• How does pipework get tested to give confidence in design life?
• Why are modern applications changing the chemicals being used and why the testing being done on materials by manufacturers is so important on an ongoing basis.
• Why the external environment is important when specifying pipework.
