Podcast: Simplifying Nonmetallic Pressure Piping Systems
Podcast: Simplifying Nonmetallic Pressure Piping Systems
Metal pipes have dominated the pressure piping market for decades. Today, however, innovations in material science have resulted in companies considering plastic pipes that can support high pressures and temperatures. Many companies have started to shift from metal to plastic for several high-pressure applications across a range of industries. Mechanical Engineering spoke with Charles Henley, chief engineer, piping and material applications at Kiewit, about ASME’s new standard that could help simplify nonmetallic pressure piping projects. Henley is also vice chair of ASME’s nonmetallic piping standards committee.
