Air Mobile Utility Distribution Systems.
Abstract
Phase I involved: (1) a feasibility study of various plastic piping and insulation systems, (2) a state of the art survey to select candidate materials for testing and evaluation, (3) selection and development of a suitable testing program. Phase II consisted of (1) testing of rigid plastic piping (acrylonitrile-butadienestyrene, high density chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, and fiberglass reinforced vinyl ester), (2) testing of urethane foams from various types of field fabrication equipment, (3) a study of the feasibility of using flat hose (firehose) for piping, (4) installed systems cost analyses. Phase III consisted of the reporting of the results of the project. The best rigid plastic piping was found to be polyvinyl chloride for water, waste water, and conduit below 125F; chlorinated polyvinyl chloride for water and waste water above 125F; and glass reinforced pipe for fuel distribution. Flat hose appears feasible for piping, and a polyurethane hose with a Victaulic coupling was recommended.
