Re: PVC Piping Suitability for Mineral Oil & Synthetic Oil

Girish:

PVC is usually OK for service with mineral oil as long as the temperature (inside or out) doesn't exceed a reasonable temperature for workers (maybe 35-40 deg C?). I would suggest CPVC, as the material cost isn't much more, installation cost is identical (the adhesive is slightly more costly), and it has better temperature resistance.

[PipingDesign] PVC Piping Suitability for Mineral Oil & Synthetic Oil

Can people with good experience with use of PVC piping comment if PVC pipes with their standard PVC glue suitable for both mineral oil and synthetic oil used in Gas Turbines and Gas Engine Alternators? These oils are used for the applications of lube oil in these machines.
