Plastic pipe on Pipe racks

by  KatB0605  Posted    (Edited  )
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!

Kat
