We often receive questions from industrial engineers about CPVC products—including, what goes into creating CPVC, why is it better than other materials, and ultimately, where can CPVC products be...
The results of friction loss in industrial piping systems can decrease operational efficiency and productivity – and eventually result in downtime and costly repairs. Friction loss affects flow rate...
Corzan® pipe and fittings are available in Schedule 40 and 80 iron pipe size (IPS) dimensions from ¼-in. through 24-in. Dimensions and weights for Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 piping variations are...
In industrial plants, we often discuss what is being conveyed in the pipe as a function of system design. How a material performs with respect to corrosion and temperature resistance when interfacing...
In an industrial system, and in any piping system, valves are used to restrict, stop or control the flow of fluid. More specifically, some industrial valves are used to:

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a familiar and versatile thermoplastic especially known as a piping and fitting material used for residential and commercial plumbing applications.
In the same...
Surge pressure is caused when the velocity of fluid through a piping system suddenly changes, typically by a valve opening or closing. This dramatic pressure change creates a shock wave within the...
Long-term performance, trouble free operation and consistent results are critical to manufacturing facilities' operational success. While facilities must first satisfy their functional needs, the...
