FIBER GLASS PIPES
Developed in the late 1940's, fiberglass pipe is a composite product, made of glass fiber reinforcements, which are embedded in, or surrounded by, thermosetting resin and subsequently cured.

Known for being strong, resilient and flexible, fiberglass is the ideal material for pipe production and is used extensively throughout the Infrastructure, oil and gas and industrial sectors. Products including glass reinforced polyester (GRP) pipes, glass reinforced epoxy (GRE) pipes and glass reinforced vinyl ester (GRVE) pipes have an extraordinary ability to service a wide array of applications within all end-markets
The demand for high-quality fiberglass pipe is booming. Driven by the ever-increasing need for energy and water resources, the global pipe market is growing rapidly. Over the past five decades, fiberglass technology has evolved significantly to produce an advanced material, which offers a superior alternative to traditional pipe products.

Fiberglass has now become the natural choice for both brand new and replacement installations, repeatedly proving its benefits for specialty applications such as large diameter pipes, high-pressure and anti corrosive. Pipe networks extend over several thousand kilometres.
Advantages:
Lightweight Structure
A high strength-to-weight ratio offers lower transportation and installation costs compared to materials such as steel or concrete. Fiberglass is light and strong.
Longevity

Longevity
Increased durability extends the system life cycle significantly beyond what is offered by other alternative materials. Fiberglass is economical and environmentally friendly.
Resilience
Resilience
Offers excellent resistance against corrosive environments including soils, salt water, H2S and chemical applications. Fiberglass lasts longer.
Efficiency
Provides a better hydraulic performance than steel, ductile iron and concrete, significantly reducing operating costs. Fiberglass is cost effective.
Versatility
Versatility
Accommodates a variety of assembly options and complex configurations due to its versatility, capacity to withstand high pressures, temperatures, and loads as well as intense chemical resistance parameters. Fiberglass works in a multitude of applications.
Typical applications
Fiberglass piping is used in most industries requiring corrosion resistant pipe. FRP piping is used in vent and liquid applications that operate from -70°F to 300°F (57°C to 149°C). NOV Fiber Glass Systems piping systems use high grade resins that are resistant to acids, caustics or solvents .
Abrasion resistant materials can be used in the piping inner surface liner to enhance wear resistance to slurries. Next Table is a brief list of the many applications and industries where fiberglass piping has been used successfully. Fiberglass piping systems can be installed in accordance with the ASME B 31.3 piping code. Second party listings from regulatory authorities such as Factory Mutual, NSF, UL/ULC, and marine registrars are in place on several of these piping
