    HDPE for Compressed Air?

    here's another link to a similar pipe like AirPro by ASAHI. http://www.vinkkunststoffen.nl/Default.aspx?ID=6556

    HDPE for Compressed Air?

    Thanks for the heads up stanweld. I did think about the chlorides in the ground but since we are using clean fill and the soil is not contaminated, I believe the SS is still the safe.. or safer.. way to go. ...and yeah, it's only money right? :/ jdarco: I had not heard about this pipe. I will...

    HDPE for Compressed Air?

    No cooling probs here. I don't see temperature as the driver to discard the HDPE pipe. The fact that oxygen permiates into the wall of HDPE is the concern. Yellow HDPE pipe used for gas does not have a problem because there is no oxygen in Natural Gas. I see what you are saying about internal...

    HDPE for Compressed Air?

    Thanks for all of the input. Like Ashereng said. The air coming out of the compressor goes through an aftercooler, a pulsation bottle, a dryer and a filter. All of this piping will be galv. CS thus helping dissipate the heat. When it goes underground the temperature of the ground will help...

    HDPE for Compressed Air?

    OK, thx for the input. I'm trying to aviod CS because of the coating and cathodic protection involved... If I can't go with HDPE then I will go with SS. ...it requires a 2" line from compressor to bollards. I was suprised as to how well the bollards hold up against impacts!

    HDPE for Compressed Air?

    This pipe will be used to connect a compressor to a bollard system. Basically muscle air to raise the bollards.

    HDPE for Compressed Air?

    I have not spoken to the manufacturer yet. That's my next step... I do not see this pipe going over 80°F. Thx for your reply!

    HDPE for Compressed Air?

    I have been doing some research on this topic and I've found that there are mixed feelings. My question is, can I use HDPE pipe (DR7) for an underground compressed air system at around 170psi? I'll start with what I found. B31.8 has a limit of 100 psi on thermoplastic pipe. But this is for...

    Wind Case - Height Above Ground Level?

    ...so I made a couple trial runs with different "Height Above Ground Level" inputs. I have to say that in CAESAR version 4.50_****07 the results are exactly the same. Results are not affected AT ALL by this input. The wind IS affected by the global coordinates you specify to the first point...

    Wind Case - Height Above Ground Level?

    When specifiying wind loads, CAESAR asks for a "Height Above Ground Level". There's been some uncertainty as what this means, is this grade elevation or is this the HEIGHT ABOVE GROUND LEVEL? i.e., if the first node of my pipe model is at 115'-0" and grade is at 110'-0". Is the input...
