Online tool offers overview of chemical
resistance of systems
Plastic pipes are used not only for drinking water,
water for general use and wastewater, but also for
transporting chemically aggressive liquids and gases.
Questions regarding the chemical resistance of piping
materials to media are as important as the mechanical
parameters for the installation of the piping system.
Pipe designs such as lined metal, ceramic or glass fibre
reinforced pipes can in many cases be replaced by plastic
systems.
The ChemRes Plus online tool from GF Piping Systems
gathers data about materials and 276 media and visualises
them. Users can select between all materials and cements
from the GF Piping Systems product range and compare
to get a comprehensive overview.
GF Piping Systems attempts to present resistance
statements in order to identify the best suitable material
for the application. The recommendations given in the
ChemRes Plus database are not only based on the extensive
application experience of GF, but also originate from tests
in the company’s own laboratories. The data is subject to
frequent updating and addition.
