What are FRP pipes?

Answer:

Glass fiber reinforced plastic pipeline is a kind of light, high strength and corrosion resistant nonmetal pipe. It is a resin based glass fiber weight layer wound on the mandrel rotating on according to process requirements, and distance evenly between the fibers as Kamiishi Eisa in the sand layer.
The glass steel base material and reinforcing material composition, because of different base material we have called GRE, some called GRP, the matrix material is generally resin reinforced material is glass fiber, adding other raw materials in the production process to obtain more excellent performance, such as adding graphite or carbon fiber can be obtained antistatic, using phenolic resin as matrix material, can obtain very high temperature resistant ability, can withstand instantaneous temperature of 3000 degrees celsius. The glass steel pipe in recent years in the shipbuilding industry is very popular and special attention, such as ship oil tankers, chemical tankers, offshore platform and ship ballast system, at the request of foreign shipowners in the use of glass steel pipes and fittings, its advantages in addition to the static electricity can guide, there are many advantages. Such as light weight, FRP pipe the same general size is only 35% of the weight of the steel pipe, is resistance to seawater corrosion, general steel and glass pipe manufacturers can promise: 50 years. Its disadvantage is that the pressure can bear the bottom and the modulus of elasticity is low. But it's enough in the ballast system. The GRE tube is better than the GRP tube in tensile strength and pressure resistance, so some people refer to the GRE tube as the high-pressure FRP pipe.
The pipe wall structure reasonable and advanced, can give full play to the role of material, to meet the premise of use strength, improve the rigidity, ensure the stability and reliability of the product.
