Heat waves impact more than just our daily lives—they also affect infrastructure. Excessive heat can cause railways to buckle and transit delays, and similarly, thermoplastic pipes, like polyethylene and polypropylene, expand significantly with temperature changes. For example, a 200-foot polypropylene pipe can grow by 6 inches with a 30°F temperature increase. Proper design is crucial to manage these expansions, using methods like expansion loops or anchored systems. Reach out to #YourExpertsinPlastics for solutions to address these challenges.

Another corrosion problem solved story illustrated by some powerful before and after photos. This sump is used to collect process runoff chemicals at a pharmaceutical manufacturing company. The customer came to Asahi/America Inc. with corrosion issues so a solution was initially hand drawn up, reviewed and officially drafted by Asahi/America Inc.'s mechanical design team, custom fabricated and shipped within 3 weeks. Talk about #ConceptToCompletion . . Shown: A newly fabricated HDPE 30” diameter x 48” long horizontal sump tank with multiple 1” and 2” threaded connections. All process runoff chemicals are emptied via a 2” Chem Proline® internal siphon dip pipe.
