Fiberglass-reinforced plastic is known as FRP. It is a substance made of fibres woven into a polymer matrix. We offer FRP wear pads made from FRP pipe at Piping Technology. Through the use of epoxy adhesive, these pads are fastened to pipes
Fiberglass-reinforced plastic, sometimes known as FRP, is a composite material made of a polymer matrix and fibres for reinforcement. So a pipe made of FRP material using the contact moulding or filament winding methods is called a FRP pipe. Specific FRP pipe qualities are obtained in the finished product by using a variety of resin types, including thermosetting polyester, epoxy, phenolic resin, and others. "E-glass" glass fibre is the most often utilised reinforcement. Worldwide use of the FRP piping system as a corrosion-resistant substitute for copper piping has been noted. Internal lining, external coating, and cathodic protection can all be readily eliminated by choosing FRP as the pipe material. A wide variety of diameters for FRP pipe systems are available.
The complete form of FRP is fiberglass reinforced plastic, which is a composite material composed of a fiber-reinforced polymer matrix. Therefore, FRP pipes are made of FRP materials through contact molding or fiber winding. Various types of resins, such as thermosetting polyester, epoxy, phenolic resin, etc., are used to obtain the final product with specific FRP pipe properties. As a corrosion-resistant metal pipe substitute, FRP piping system has been widely used worldwide. By choosing FRP as the pipe material, the need for lining, external coating and cathodic protection can be easily eliminated.
Due to the high durability, corrosion resistance and medium strength of FRP pipes, its use is increasing day by day. FRP piping systems are used in different industries, such as:
&#;Drinking water and seawater desalination industry
&#;Chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas industries.
&#;Pipes and exhaust pipes
&#;Irrigation and sanitation services
&#;Water distribution and delivery
&#;Mud pipeline
&#;Power plants, etc.
The main performance of FRP pipe is to make it an ideal choice for various industries in the world.
&#;Excellent corrosion resistance
&#;Excellent strength-to-weight ratio. It is worth noting that the strength-to-weight ratio of FRP pipes is higher than that of steel or other metal pipes.
&#;Light weight, easy to handle and transport.
&#;Dimensional stability
&#;Degradable
&#;Low friction coefficient (>25% better than steel), ensuring good flow characteristics.
&#;Good abrasion resistance
&#;Suitable for ground and underground pipelines
&#;Resistance to biological attacks such as bacteria
&#;Non-conductive
&#;Low maintenance cost

Since the length of the FRP pipe is restricted by transportation and handling, it needs to be connected. At the same time, various FRP pipe fittings need to be connected as required. The connection system of the FRP pipe shall ensure that no leakage occurs under the predetermined use conditions under the working pressure.
FRP pipe fittings
Various FRP pipe fittings are available to meet the needs of pipeline layout. Common glass steel pipe parts are:
&#;Long radius, short radius FRP elbow
&#;Tee connection (equal tee and reducing tee)
&#;FRP pipe flange
&#;Steel back flange
&#;Flange elbow
&#;Smooth reducing elbow
&#;Special bending radius
&#;Horizontal connection
&#;Cross connect
&#;Wye Connection
&#;Reducer (eccentric and concentric)
&#;Flange reducing agent
When ordering FRP pipes, the following information must be provided to the supplier:
&#;Pipe diameter
&#;The design and working temperature of the applied fluid.
&#;Design, operation, surge, vacuum, test pressure.
&#;Live load of buried pipelines.
&#;Maximum/minimum buried depth and trench width.
&#;Details of soil properties and trench preparation.
The main disadvantage of FRP piping system is:
&#;It is not recommended to use FRP pipes to transport fluids whose temperature exceeds 100°C
&#;The use of pigments, dyes, UV stabilizers, fillers, etc. in the resin system can reduce the slight degradation of the resin by ultraviolet light.
