Here rigie/ Geon vinyl pipe is used in α demineralizer unit which treats boiler feed water. Piping handles caustic soda. View at right shows how Geon plastic pipe ties in to stainless steel valve and other metal parts. Pipe is made by National Tube; Vancorfittings by Colonial Plastics.
Unique chemical properties of Geon Rigid Vinyl Pipe make new applications possible TPJROM chemical plant piping t o indusJL trial water lines, from vent lines for acid fumes and corrosive gases to sour crude o i l lines—the exceptional proper ties of pipe and fittings made from G e o n rigid vinyls are making cheaper, l o n g e r lasting and easier-to-install applications possible. The outstanding h o w s and w h y s include:— • Resistance to. oils, acids, alkalis and most chemicals. • High tensile a n d impact strength. • Resistance to sunlight, fungi, bacteria, mois ture, heat and cold. • Smooth interna! surface that reduces f l o w resistance.
