Performance of elastomeric components in contact with potable water.9781583215821 Performance of elastomeric components in contact with potable potable /pot·a·ble/ (po´tah-b'l) fit to drink. po·ta·ble adj. Fit to drink; drinkable. potable fit to drink. water. Ed. by Thomas D. Rockaway et al. American Water Works Assn. 2007 304 pages $299.00 Paperback TD491 This research initiative clarifies the factors contributing to elastomer degradation in drinking water distribution systems and provides a quantitative method for predicting the performance and life expectancy of in-service elastomer components. A laboratory test program assesses the chloramine-induced degradation characteristics of six elastomer materials typically used in the water industry: natural rubber, styrene sty·rene n. A colorless oily liquid from which polystyrenes, plastics, and synthetic rubber are produced. Also called vinylbenzene. butadiene rubber, nitrile, neoprene neoprene: see rubber. neoprene Any of a class of elastomers (rubberlike synthetic organic compounds of high molecular weight) made by polymerization of the monomer 2-chloro-1,3-butadiene and vulcanized (cross-linked, like rubber), by sulfur, , EPDM-S, and peroxide-cured EPDM EPDM Ethylene-Propylene-Diene-Monomer EPDM Enterprise Product Data Management EPDM Ethylene Propylene Dimonomer (industrial/commercial piping/plumbing components) EPDM Engineering Product Data Management . The report also explores the influence of concentration and temperature, loop strain, surface area-to-mass ratio, and carbon black loss.
