Plastic pipe on Pipe racks
Material selection
Hi everyone!
I know that placing plastic pipe in pipe racks is a NO NO, but I would like to know more about the reasoning behind this.
Other than plastic pipe not having the the same span loads as metal pipe and therefore requires a greater number of support points and temperature limitations, what else is there?
Thanks!
