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
