Static Leach Analysis
Detailed extractable analysis is conducted on piping samples after seven-day static leach utilizing 18.2 megohm ultra-pure water at ambient temperature. Static leach of large pipe samples (120-square-inch wet surface area) is representative of a piping system off-line for an extended period of time. Under these conditions the effects of UPW can be extremely aggressive, severely affecting the amount of leachable contaminants present within the piping material.
