this is good geoff. we'll check it out. on related subject have you heard about electrofusion welding for plastic pipe. we've got a couple of HDPE here and im interested in buying a welding machine. Ive heard another guy suggested modified butt fusion using inflattable bladder for BCF (bead-and-creavice free) joints or some high-tech IR fusion butt fusion machine. Any expereince on these machines. Appreciate your reply on this.

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!
