ABS, PE and HDPE plastics are appropriate for use in compressed air piping systems and have some benefits over metal. The materials are lightweight and easy to work with, requiring no special bracing or supports. Plastics can be easily cut and fit using standard tools and can be glued together rather than welded.Oct 12, 2020
How much air pressure can ABS pipe hold?
Acrylonitrile - Butadiene - Styrene (ABS) is a rigid pressure piping system renowned for its high impact strength and durability which combine to give exceptional toughness. It is suitable for use over a wide temperature range from -40ºC to 80ºC at pressures up to 15 bar.
What pipe should I use for compressed air?
Black Pipe
Can you use black pipe for compressed air?
Black pipe is the most commonly used pipe recommended for compressed air systems. It is easy to get your hands on, it is strong and durable, and most people are familiar with how to install it. However, it will produce rust contamination that damages pneumatic tooling.
