Wear pads, sometimes known as poison pads, are used to prevent metallurgical contamination of stainless pipe or tube when supported by carbon steel pipe hangers, cradles, or pipe stands.
They are made to order as customers have a wide range of preference for thickness, length, and radius.
Dimensional data at right is a guide, a starting point for identifying customer requirements and ordering.
