Dear Jeff<br>Thanks for the reply. You are right. The material proposed to us is HarvellXT. I will provide a ratioed price analysis as soon as it becomes available. I would like to place a disclaimer here. Some materials and services readily available at the US are
surprisingly difficult to get here. I can find the most sophisticated
LED lighting panels for example. But DI water piping was an "adventure"
. Therefore the prices may not reflect the situation in USA. <br><br>Volkan<br><br><br>-- <br>Volkan Özgüz<br>Sabancı University<br>Nanotechnology Research and Application Center <br>Orhanlı, Tuzla, İstanbul 34956<br>Office: 0 216 483 9880<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0.5in;"> Dear Colleagues,<br>
There are some new classes of PVC piping (and related joining techniques) marketed
for use in ultra pure water applications including 18 MOhm levels. Are there
any users in our network who used similar piping materials? How do they compare
to PVDF or PP piping materials? What are your assements about installation,
service and long term reliability? <br>
Thanks for your help,<br>
