The Importance Of Fiberglass Tube Maintenance

Fiberglass Pipe has light weight and high strength; it is easy to transport, install and maintain; it is not heavy and has the characteristics of hoisting equipment. The inner wall of the pipe is non-scaling. If it is used for a long time, it can still keep the inner wall smooth. The insulation layer is manufactured at work, which can effectively shorten the installation time.


The main molding process of glass fiber pipelines is that all the inner and outer pipes of the pipeline are controlled by microcomputer, and the fiberglass winding process is used. The interlayer between the inner and outer pipes is made of polyurethane foam. Used in oilfield, chemical industry, water supply and drainage power, food, post and telecommunications papermaking, anticorrosive insulation and sewage treatment engineering and other industries.

Therefore, glass fiber pipes are widely used in hot spring water pipes, oil field geothermal fluid pipes, urban and factory heating systems, chemical water vapor pipes, and other heat medium pipes. And according to user needs for non-standard design and production, has been favored by consumers.


So what is the importance of glass fiber pipeline maintenance? The following Fiberglass Storage Tank suppliers will come to tell you.


Fiberglass pipes are one of the glass fiber reinforced plastic products. China's glass fiber reinforced plastic products have been developed since the 1960s, and it has been nearly 40 years. At present, it has basically occupied the small boat market, and is popular with business units and passengers for its light weight, high strength, beautiful appearance and colorful colors.


The maintenance work of FRP products has not received due attention. Fiberglass Pipe Manufacturers have not introduced maintenance knowledge in product manuals and user instructions. Many users lack understanding of FRP material and performance. Many people blindly believe that FRP has high strength, will not rust, and is protected by a gel coat. No maintenance required. This has caused a lot of FRP equipment to lose its style prematurely due to lack of maintenance and shorten its service life. FRP is made of synthetic resin as the matrix and glass fiber as the reinforcing material. It has the similar strength to steel, has the superior performance of water resistance and corrosion resistance, and has the characteristics of smooth surface, mirror-like appearance, and can be formed integrally; however, it also has some disadvantages, such as low rigidity and poor wear resistance. In particular, there are many factors that affect quality (such as the quality of raw materials, the technical quality of operators, production conditions, environmental factors, etc.), which makes the quality of similar products very different. Compared with steel and wooden ships, FRP ships have the characteristics of less maintenance, which is determined by the superior performance of FRP itself. But FRP, like all materials, also has aging problems, but the aging process is slower. Even if a gel coat resin is applied to the surface of the boat to form a protective layer, the thickness is only 0.3-0.5 mm, and it will be damaged and thinned under frequent friction and environmental erosion. Therefore, less maintenance of FRP is not without maintenance. Proper maintenance can not only maintain a beautiful appearance, but also extend the service life of FRP products.
