Hello,
We are a chemical process plant in oil gas industry. There are lots of pneumatic on and off actuated valves in the system. (outdoor) The air comes from control cabinet directly. (PLC drives remote solenoid island IO)
Historically, we use SS316 tubings to connect valve actuators to the air source. We are thinking changing to poly tubing (polyurethane with UV protection). One reason is cost. The other is installation time.
What are your thoughts?
We got significant pushbacks from plant maintenance for sure..
