Application of Glass Fibre Reinforced Pipes Why?
Why not? What do I buy?... FRP, RTRP, GRE Glass, brittle at low temps. Standards? Dimensions Material Properties Calculations Joints, Glue?? Degeneration of properties in time
Why so? No corrosion No corrosion allowance No cathodic protection Long live (50 years design) Light weight Smooth walls, low friction Mechanical properties, Flexible, Safe failure behaviour Safe joints Adhesive bonded Mechanical, RSLJ, Key Lock.Tee-kay Standards, ISO 14692
