I work in industrial automation and we design and build machines for electrolytic tankhouse applications that tend to contain significant sulfuric acid mist in the air. We typically use a lot of pneumatics for pneumatic actuators on different parts of our machines and robot end of arm tooling...
We have just dug up a supply and return line feeding tailings from a mill to a hydraulic sandfill plant. Drawings indicated 20" steel rubber lined pipes, but after digging them up, we found they are actually HDPE. Of course, there is no documentation of the change from steel to HDPE. We need to...
