I've heard that they exist, no joke. But is there an application out there that can PROVE with pictures and/or documentation of such? PLASTIC piston connecting rods.

Well that plastic or polymer would have to hold up to tons of heat and pressure, i believe they may be experimental but have never heard of a working application. Personally i would think there would be a ceramic prior to a plastic.

The diameter of the pipe is going to place you interior the commercial sector. in all likelihood the food provider sector, through fact your dealing with plastic. in case you have any important manufacturers interior the section, Frito, Ore-Ida, Tyson, that would desire to be properly worth a decision. possibly you will get fortunate!! stable success

probably in some reciprocating pumps transferring hazardous chemicals or food processing industry. plastics are chemically inert and things like nylon are self lubricating.

If plastic can withstand high temperature, why not. But I don't think so.

Sounds like something Hyundai would use.
