Abstract
Design considerations for applying reinforced plastic materials of construction to corrosive service in the process industries are reviewed from an over-all standpoint. Considerations affecting the basic design, such as material selection and fabrication techniques, are related to mechanical or structural characteristics. Factors concerning the application, such as strength required for normal service, mechanical abuse, thermal conditions and chemical attack are discussed. Design must also include considerations for installation, anticipated service life and variations in values caused by random production influences. Each of these items are related to case histories, and examples for employing these values to conventional design techniques are presented. 5.11
