Application of Polymers in Corrosion Control

The polymeric materials are viscoelastic (creep) and this property is very important in corrosion applications. The temperature limit is 260°C and most of the applications are below 150°C. The tanks and piping are used below 100°C. The mechanical properties of 

Self supporting structures (vessels, columns, piping) 

The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) provides standards, compatibility testing, and tests for mechanical properties, recommended practices and procedures as well as codes for polymeric materials. The various industry codes and standards are summarized in Table 4.95.
