The process is basically to clean the surfaces with an abrasive then with MEK.
Both inner and outer surfaces are coated with a solvent cement. Solvent cement
consists of 25% ABS dissolved in MEK. The female fitting has a taper at the end
so that when the male component is insrted a tight fit is achieved. The joint
has to be held for a while to secure a good fit. The benefit of the joint is
that you dont need concrete thrust blocks as with rubber ring joints.
The attached procedure explains it in a bit more detail. The second paper I delivered to the Institution of Mechanical Engineers
(See attached file: QP 300 TRAINING AND ACCREDITATION PROGRAM ISSUE 3.doc)(See attached file: ABS application in STPs.doc)

thanks again. ok for buried appilcation? what's the method of joining - same as FRP (fusion welding)

In Australia & SE Asia lines for sea water are in Acrylonitrile Butadiene
Styrene (ABS). Tyco (Eurapipe) manufature to DN 750 in rubber ring jointed
or
chemicallly (solvent) welded. The ABS is not the same product as listed in
ANSI
B 31.3. Its much tougher. Of course you would need to have a few lines to
cater
for your flow.
The beauty of this material is that you dont get corrosion on the inside or
the
outside. Its great for sea water , septic sewerage, slurries, acid sulfate
soils, puire water (electronics & pharmaceuticals) etc. W ehave just
commissioned a 100 million dollar sewage treatment plant up grade where
there is
no ductile iron. All ABS or spiral wound stainless steel. I forget to
mention it
is cost effective too!
