POLYVINYL CHLORIDE TAPES FOR PIPE PROTECTION

Abstract

It would be easy to make the general statement that the only major factor an engineer need consider when selecting a pipe‐protection material is that it should resist corrosion. Certainly he must be concerned with electrolytic and galvanic attack, abrasion, chemical action and the effect of weather. This, however, is only part of the story. This article reviews the properties of polyvinyl chloride tapes and the very real part which they, and, in particular Scotchrap PVC tapes, are playing in the prevention of pipeline deterioration.
