Lined

Glass Lined Piping: Glass lining is a form of porcelain enamel, much like the material applied to tubs and sinks for many years. It is applied in a process that forms a permanent chemical and physical bond with the metal surface. The finished surface is extremely smooth and very hard, making glass-lined pipe ideal for transfer of solids or chemicals that tend to adhere to the inside of bare pipe. Using glass-lined pipe significantly reduces maintenance, wasted energy, and repair costs associated with solids build up in piping systems. It is non-permeable; resistant to corrosion, abrasion, high temperatures, and thermal shock; and has a wide pH range
