Failure of Plastic Pipes
- ExcelPlas has tested a range of plastic pipes such as:
- Stress cracking of ABS chilled water pipes (due to solvent cements, lagging adhesives, phthalates from cushioning material)
- Oxidative cracking of PP-R hot water pipes
- Cracking of PVC pipes (due to inclusions)
- Cracking of PE-X hot water pipes
