Corrosionpedia Explains Rubber Lining

The process of successfully applying a rubber lining consists of the following steps:

1. Obtain the inner dimensions of the vessel to be lined.
2. Examine the chemical composition of the stored substance to prevent reactivity.
3. Obtain a rubber material suitable for the entirety of the predetermined vessel dimensions.
4. Examine the rubber chemical composition to ensure no reaction with the housed chemical.
