Fiberglass Piping

Fiberglass Piping: Fiberglass pipe is often the material of choice for corrosive process systems. It can withstand higher temperatures and pressures than ordinary thermoplastic materials. Its corrosion and chemical resistance, makes it well-suited for general chemical processing applications. Fiberglass pipe can be used in a wide variety of corrosion resistant conditions. It is 20% lighter than steel, stronger than steel on an equal weight basis, has a coefficient of friction 25% better than steel, has low thermal conductivity, and low long-term maintenance costs.
