Let me talk about the advantages of fiberglass pipes and the issues related to their storage. Fiberglass pipes are widely used due to their lightweight, high strength, and strong corrosion resistance. They can be applied in various fields such as oil pipelines, chemical pipelines, power pipelines, pharmaceutical pipelines, pulp, urban water supply and drainage pipelines, industrial wastewater pipelines, seawater desalination pipelines, gas pipelines, and natural gas pipelines. However, during the use of fiberglass pipes, some issues may arise, which we will analyze here.

Let's talk about the advantages of fiberglass pipes and the issues related to storage.

Let me talk about it.Fiberglass pipeAdvantages and storage issues.

 Fiberglass pipeAdvantages.

1,Fiberglass pipeIt has excellent corrosion resistance.

2. No need for cathodic protection and other anti-corrosion measures, it will not cause secondary pollution to water and other media, and the product has a long service life.

3. The weight of the pipe is only 1/4 of the same specification and length of ductile iron pipe, and 1/10 of cement pipe, making it easy to transport, load and unload, and install.

4. Reduces pipe joints, speeds up installation, and improves the overall quality of the pipeline.

Reduces flow resistance, increases flow, and lowers energy consumption. Compared with steel pipes of the same specification, pipes with smaller diameters can increase flow by about 10%. They do not scale, and long-term use will not reduce flow. They also provide good protection for cables in environments with interference and severe corrosion.Fiberglass pipeThe reason it can be widely used is that it has many advantages: smooth pipe walls, complex structure, lightweight, high strength, and a service life of 50 years. These characteristics are beneficial for environmental protection, making it an energy-efficient pipe material and one of the ideal new pipe materials for reducing project costs. It has several unique features that other pipes cannot compare with.

 

  Fiberglass pipeCommon problems and solutions.

  Fiberglass pipeIt is widely used due to its lightweight, high strength, and strong corrosion resistance.Fiberglass pipeIt can be used in fields such as oil pipelines, chemical pipelines, power pipelines, pharmaceutical pipelines, pulp, urban water supply and drainage pipelines, industrial wastewater pipelines, seawater desalination pipelines, gas pipelines, and natural gas pipelines.Fiberglass pipeDuring use, some problems may arise, which we will analyze here.

1. Layering of the pipe. The main reason for the sealing failure of the pipe is that the tape is too old, the amount of tape used is too little, unevenly distributed, and the temperature of the hot roller is too low. To solve this problem, it is necessary to adjust the tape content or increase the temperature of the hot roller for better adhesion.

2. Pipe leakage. Leakage of the pipe is caused by long-term exposure to outdoor ultraviolet rays leading to aging and peeling, or it may be due to the thin insulation layer of the fiber-wound sand pipe. This requires that the installation be as underground as possible to avoid outdoor installation of fiberglass pipes, and the sand pipe should be made using centrifugal casting.

  Fiberglass pipeStorage.

1,Fiberglass pipeIt can be stored outdoors, but should not be placed in areas exposed to heat sources.

2. In summer, it is recommended to wrap a layer of sunscreen around the pipe for long-term installation.

3. During installation, care should be taken to prevent the pipe from being exposed to welding sparks, cutting flames, and heat/fire/electric sources.

4. When the pipe is placed directly on the ground, ensure that the ground is level and free of stones or sharp objects that could damage the pipe. All pipelines should be supported with wedges to prevent rolling.

That's all for my explanation. If anyone needs fiberglass pipes, you can consult our company.
