Can FRP pipes be customized?

FRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic) has good designability, shape performance and easy maintenance. Compared with steel, FRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic) has very high corrosion resistance, the specific gravity of 1.5 to 1.9, much lower than steel's 7.8, but its mechanical strength is higher than steel, FRP containers have the advantages of a low coefficient of thermal expansion and good insulation performance, and have been widely used in many fields Applications.

 

According to the shape of the medium, FRP containers can be divided into three categories: liquid, gas and solid tanks; according to the pressure level, they can be divided into two categories: ATM tanks and pressure tanks; according to the shape of containers, they can be divided into three categories: horizontal cylindrical tanks, vertical cylindrical tanks and rectangular tanks; and PVC/FRP, PP/FRP and PVDF/FRP composite tanks.

 

Hebei Yongchang Composite Technology Co., Ltd. is a professional FRP container manufacturer in China. With exquisite technology, reliable quality and good reputation, Hebei Yongchang FRP containers are widely used in chemical fertilizer and pesticide, electronic and electric power, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, water treatment, citric acid and food fermentation, and can be manufactured with a maximum diameter of 25000mm, volume is 5000m.

 

Special attention needs to be paid here.

When ordering FRP pipe, the following data needs to be provided to us.

Pipe diameter

Design and working temperature of the working fluid.

Design, operating, surge, vacuum, and test pressures.

Live load of the buried pipe.

Maximum/minimum burial depth and trench width.

Detailed information on soil properties and trench preparation.

 

Yongchang FRP pipe performance and characteristics

1. Corrosion resistance: Different types of anti-corrosion lining resins are selected for different acid, alkali and salt environments, as well as various oils, seawater and organic solvents.

2. Lightweight, easy to maintain and durable.

3. Easy to install: There is no technical limitation on the length of the FRP pipeline, but considering transportation, the length of the pipeline is generally less than 12m, so the number of joints is greatly reduced. Due to the lightweight of FRP, the pipeline can also be installed manually or by light installation equipment, which is convenient and fast.

4. Good applicability: the existing FRP pipeline standard diameter is between 25mm-4000mm, the long-term pressure-bearing capacity is generally less than 1.6Mpa, and according to the special needs of users, it can reach a higher pressure of 6.4Mpa.

5. High conveying capacity: smooth pipe wall N-S 0.0084. It has a higher flow rate compared with a traditional pipeline of the same diameter, so it can save pump energy and prolong project life.

6. Low permeability: Due to the good sealing connection and the longer length of each pipe, FRP pipes have lower permeability than traditional pipes, thus greatly reducing the risk of groundwater infiltration into the pipes and media penetration as well as pollution of the environment.

7. Strict testing standards: Our company has advanced testing equipment and strictly enforces inspection standards to ensure product quality. Relevant standards: ASTM, AWWA, ASME, etc.

8. Low cost and long life: Hebei Yongchang FRP products have a long service life, basically no maintenance, and very low installation and transportation cost.

 

FRP pipe connection requirements

Interface operation, the ambient temperature is not less than 10 ℃; curing temperature after bonding is not less than 15 ℃, curing insulation time is not less than 12 hours. Paste the interface according to the layer design. According to the sample data, planned gel time, ambient temperature, etc., mix the resin and stir it thoroughly. When the bonding thickness is more than 10mm, it should be formed in stages. Before each molding, the curing surface of the last molding should be sanded.

 

Our Yongchang FRP / FRP pipes are designed and manufactured according to customer requirements in various sizes and configurations. We can manufacture pipes of any size and pressure and can make composite pipes such as PVC/FRP, PP/FRP, PVDF/FRP, etc. according to the conditions of use. Our designers can calculate the circumferential stress, axial stress and bending Poisson's ratio coefficients of products based on your available space, chemical fluid requirements and applicable natural conditions, and then give product selection, product thickness and layering. We have detailed manufacturing process parameters. All of our pipe designs meet industry standards such as ASTM D2996 Standard Specification for Fiber Wound "Glass Fiber" (Glass Fiber Reinforced Thermoset Resin) Pipe for Fiber Wound Pipe.
