EROSION
TEST LINE
The 2" steel line (double extra heavy) was being replaced on a regular basis due to corrosion and erosion problems.  The line contains 90 deg. elbows which further enhanced the erosion problem.  Currently, the fiberglass line pipe has outlasted the steel 3 times.  Flow rate 3.2 MCFD
Operating temperature 110 to 120 deg. F.; Operating pressure 1000 psi; traces of 20 to 40 grit sand.
