            <description><![CDATA[Industrial operations should ensure that their pump systems are compatible with the chosen plastic pipe systems, says professional body for plastic pipe manufacturing South African Plastic Pipe Manufacturing Association (Sappma) CEO Jan Venter. “Correct, informed design ensures that the pipes can reliably withstand the required operating pressures, flow rates and potential surges without risking leaks, ruptures or premature deterioration. This alignment between pump and pipe protects the client’s investment, ensures uninterrupted operation and significantly extends the service life of the entire system.”]]></description>
