Outlast Old Piping 4 to I Republic SRK is still like new after rugged two-year corrosion test The piping in that radiator-type cooler (left) is in a tough spot. Hot coke on a nearby platform is quenched with water, enveloping the entire area in steam saturated with Hydro gen Sulphide and Hydrogen Cyanide. Every piece of equipment not resistant to the corrosive effects of acids is vulnerable. The piping in the cooler, for example, became irrepar ably damaged after six months' service and had to be replaced. Each year the repair bill got bigger. T o solve this problem, the operators installed Republic SRK—the amazing, corrosion-resistant plastic pipe. Today, after two years, there are absolutely no signs of damage or wear. W i t h i n its t e m p e r a t u r e a n d pressure limitations, Republic's SRK will prove ideal for many applications in the chemical and food processing industries—in both

waste and process lines. It's highly resistant to a long list of corrosive liquids and gases. Being extremely tough, it will absorb terrific punishment without breaking or shattering. Republic SRK is lightweight, easy t o carry. It cuts quickly, is easily joined by simple solvent-welded sleevetype fittings. SRK is approved by the National Sanitation Foundation as safe for carrying potable liquids. Modern techniques and highest standards of quality control result in wall sections of uniform strength through out each length. Republic SRK comes in three working pressures—with specific sizes for each (straight lengths only). Pipe of 150 lb. rating is available in sizes 'Δ" through 2"; pipe of 100 lb. rating—in sizes 2" through 6"; 75 lb. rated pipe—in sizes 3", 4 " and 6". Republic also supplies SRB and FE Plastic Pipes.
