When discussing corrosive gases, many people experience a heightened sense of tension due to various safety concerns. Naturally, when we talk about corrosion, we associate it with harm. Many companies or factories in China that produce chemical gas materials use fiberglass pipes to transport harmful gases. It is through the use of special materials like fiberglass pipes that we can live and work safely and confidently in these hazardous environments. In the past, the transportation of corrosive gases in our work was mostly done using simple metal materials.

The application of fiberglass pipes in the transportation of corrosive gases.

When discussing corrosive gases, many people go through a highly tense process because we are concerned about many safety issues. When we talk about corrosion, we naturally associate it with harm. Many companies or factories in China that produce chemical gas materials use fiberglass pipes to transport harmful gases. It is only by using special materials like fiberglass pipes that we can live or work safely and with peace of mind in these hazardous environments.

In the past, the transportation of corrosive gases in our work was mostly done using simple metal materials. While the impact in a short time is not significant, in the long run, metals cannot resist the corrosion and damage from gases. Therefore, we must replace the containers every short period, which increases costs. To save costs and ensure the safety of our employees, many factories or enterprises in our country that specialize in the production and transportation of chemical gases should consider using fiberglass pipes as containers or transportation tools for corrosive gases. Their strength is well-known and can be compared to ordinary steel. Sometimes we prefer to choose this type of container because, in terms of aesthetics and comfort, fiberglass pipes are always our trusted first choice. The process requires that the fiberglass pipe has a resin matrix weight, which is laid layer by layer on a rotating core mold, with quartz sand evenly laid between the fibers as a sand layer for long-distance laying. The pipe wall structure is reasonable and advanced, fully utilizing the material's properties.

Under the premise of meeting the required strength, the grade of steel has been improved, ensuring the stability and reliability of the product. Compared to ordinary steel, fiberglass sandwiched pipes have excellent chemical corrosion resistance, lightweight, high strength, no scaling, strong seismic resistance, and long service life, making them widely accepted by users. The pipes have a low overall cost, quick installation, and are safe and reliable. In special cases, when using flange connections and bonding rigid joints for fiberglass reinforced plastic sandwiched pipes, a short pipe with a diameter of 1-2 times should be set on the side of the joint of the fiberglass reinforced plastic sandwiched pipe.

Due to the construction of segmented fiberglass sandwiched pipes, when using bonded connections, two short pipes should be selected. At this time, the circumferential function of the pipe wall should be no less than 1.5 times the corresponding index of the original pipe function. Fiberglass pipes are made of resin as the matrix and fiberglass as the reinforcing material, processed through special techniques, and have advantages such as corrosion resistance, leak prevention, thermal insulation, lightweight, high strength, long lifespan, strong design, low fluid resistance, and easy installation. They can be widely used in industries such as petroleum, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electricity, papermaking, urban drainage, factory wastewater treatment, seawater desalination, gas transportation, and mining. The pipes are an ideal means for transporting liquids and gases. In recent years, the production of fiberglass pipes in our country has developed rapidly, with the quantity increasing year by year and the application scope and departments becoming increasingly broad.

With excellent corrosion resistance, there is no need for cathodic protection or other anti-corrosion measures, and it does not cause secondary pollution to water and other media. The product has a long service life, and the weight of the pipes is only 1/4 that of ductile iron pipes of the same specifications and length, and 1/10 that of cement pipes. They are easy to transport and unload, easy to install, reduce the number of pipe joints, speed up the installation process, and improve the overall quality of the pipeline.
