Does Corzan CPVC have good abrasion resistance?
A piping system’s resistance to abrasion is a function of many factors: • Particle size and shape • Hardness of particles • Particle concentration • Densities (fluid, particle, and pipe) • Velocities • Properties of piping materials • Design of the piping system While all piping systems will exhibit some degree of wear over time, the actual erosion will depend on the specific combination of these factors. Excluding the piping material itself, the system conditions which will minimize abrasion include: • Lower velocities (<5 ft/sec) • Large, round particles • Uniform particle distribution • Minimum changes in direction When these ideal slurry conditions do not exist, the selection of the piping material becomes important. Corzanpiping systems will usually outperform metal when transporting abrasive media and have been used successfully in many abrasive industrial applications. No single test method exists which can consistently predict the abrasion resistance of a material to the broad
