Description
Industrial and domestic piping is increasingly made from various plastics and composites, and these materials withstand heavy use over
long periods. They are, however, affected by environmental and other factors over time and can degrade, causing major problems within
piping systems. Farshad's book deals with why plastic pipes and systems fail, and with how to investigate and diagnose such failures.
Pipes may buckle, fracture, change in dimensions and colour, blister and delaminate, corrode through stress, be abraded and obstructed:
all these cause problems and lead to loss of efficient operation of a system. The author's experience is backed up by a large data-base
of results
Audience
composite manufacturers, designers and end-users; pipeline engineers; materials scientists; public utilities companies; oil and gas companies; consultants
