Online News-FlowGuard Gold® CPVC Pipe and Fittings Undergo 40-Year Continuous Pipe Pressure Test
Noveon has announced the completion of a nearly 40-year pipe pressure test on the CPVC compound it developed as the former Performance Materials division of BFGoodrich, and which is used in FlowGuard Gold® pipe and fittings.
According to the company, on Nov. 29, 1963, the R&D personnel initiated a lab test that would subject a piece of PVC pipe (that would become the forerunner for today's FlowGuard Gold CPVC plumbing system) to more than 10 times the amount of water pressure of a typical American home.
