Let me talk about the use of fiberglass pipes and the methods for connecting them. Installation is simple, and the length of fiberglass pipes is not technically limited. However, for transportation considerations, the length of the pipes is generally kept within 12 meters, which significantly reduces the number of joints required. Due to the lightweight nature of fiberglass, manual or lightweight installation equipment can be used, making the installation of the pipes convenient and quick.

Let me tell you all about it.Fiberglass reinforced plastic pipesUsage and connection methods.

  Fiberglass reinforced plastic pipesSix major product advantages:

1. Strong applicability.

2. Lightweight, easy maintenance, durable.

3. Corrosion resistance: Different types of anti-corrosion lining resins can be selected to suit various acids, bases, salts, oils, seawater, and organic solvents.

4. Simple installation,Fiberglass reinforced plastic pipesLength is not technically limited, but for transportation considerations, the pipe length is generally within 12m, which greatly reduces the required joints. Due to the lightweight nature of fiberglass, manual or lightweight installation equipment can be used, making pipe installation convenient and quick.

5. High conveying capacity, the inner wall of the pipe is smooth (N0.0084), which has a higher flow capacity than traditional materials of the same diameter, saving pump energy and extending project lifespan.

6. Low permeability and seepage rate, fiberglass pipes have good sealing connections, longer lengths, and lower permeability and seepage rates compared to traditional material pipes, significantly reducing groundwater infiltration into the pipes and contamination of soil and groundwater by medium seepage.

  Fiberglass reinforced plastic pipesUsage

After the fiberglass pipes arrive on site, construction should begin immediately in the corresponding work section. If construction cannot be carried out immediately due to irresistible factors, the pipes should be stored safely.Fiberglass reinforced plastic pipesThe auxiliary connection materials mainly include fiberglass yarn, chopped mat, fiberglass cloth, and other reinforcement materials, resins, curing agents, accelerators, anti-aging agents, and various adhesives. These materials should be stored in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. Rubber rings should avoid sunlight and be kept away from heat sources, and should not come into contact with grease and organic solvents. Pipes and fittings should be stacked according to type, specification, and grade, with soft pads between layers, away from heat sources and flammable or explosive items. They should not be stored outdoors for long periods to prevent exposure to sunlight.

  Fiberglass reinforced plastic pipesConnection methods

There are four common connection methods for fiberglass pipes: butt connection, socket bonding, flange connection, and socket sealing ring connection. Sealing rings are divided into single O-ring connections and double O-ring connections. The first two methods are mostly used for fixed connections between pipes, flange connections are used for components that are frequently disassembled, and sealing ring connections are mostly used for connections between underground pipes. Butt connections are suitable for connecting curved sections of large-diameter pipes and for on-site repairs. Socket bonding is suitable for connecting fixed-length pipes (but cannot be used with pipes that have anti-corrosion layers); when connecting to pipe pumps, flexible joints should be used to reduce deformation of pipes and fittings due to vibration. Fiberglass sand pipes mostly use double O-ring connections, with pressure testing holes left between the two sealing rings at the pipe socket. During pipe installation, one is installed while the other is tested to ensure there are no leaks at the joints.

Alright, I wish you all a happy life, and see you next time.
