Is Pex used in industry? I’ve only seen it in newish residential construction. Is there such a thing as a 6” diameter pex pipe? And fittings? 12”? 24”?
Where corrosion is a problem i’ve Seen metal pipes coated with epoxies.
I’ve seen big HDPE pipe used for low pressure sections to save cost over metal.
- CyberDildonics 6y agoWhat do you mean by 'in industry'. In what industry? I don't know about anything larger than 3", but the general point was more than it doesn't seem right that corrosion of metal pipes would be a huge barrier to desalination since there are options for non metal pipes. There is also PVC which can be huge in diameter and CPVC which is used in some situations that need pipe that is more inert, but it is very brittle.
- rhodozelia 6y ago“Industry” generally refers to factories or plants as opposed to a commercial or residential setting. Quite often different codes, standards, and construction methods are used in industry than you see elsewhere. But large pex pipes isn’t something that I have seen.
