Wood staves

Wood and Wood-Lined Steel Pipe Douglas fir, white pine, redwood, and cypress are the most common woods used for wood pipe. Wood-lined steel pipe is suitable for temperatures up to 82°C (180°F) and for pressures from 1.4 MPa (200 Ibhin ) for the 4-in size, through 0.86 MPa (125 IbFin ) for the 10-in size, to 0.7 MPA (100 Ibf/ in") for sizes larger than 10 in. For fume stacks and similar uses, wood-stave pipe with rods on 0.3-m (1-ft) centers is most satisfactory because it permits periodic tightening. In recent years reinforced plastics have supplanted wood pipe in most applications.

It is possible to lead-line wood stave tanks but this is not a desirable application. Unlined wood tanks depend upon moisture in the process fluid to swell the wood and maintain the tight fit of the joints. When lined with lead, the wood staves dry and shrink. The hoops then have to be tightened to maintain structural Integrity. This movement can cause damage to the lead lining.
