Key Advantages of FRP Custom Product
FRP piping systems offer superior corrosion resistance, lightweight handling, and long-term cost efficiency compared to traditional materials
Detailed Benefits: Performance & Value:
1. Unlimited Design Flexibility and Customization
- Perfect Fit for Existing Structures: Custom fabrication enables FRP components (such as linings for non-standard size tanks, ducts, or hoods) to be manufactured to precisely match the dimensions and geometry of existing structures.
- Example: Creating custom FRP bushings or elbows with the exact radius and wall thickness required for specific piping system needs.
- Adaptation to Complex Geometries: FRP material can be shaped around intricate components like non-standard flanges, internal baffles, or manways, which are often challenging to achieve with pre-fabricated materials.
- Integration of Multiple Functions: Custom products can be designed to incorporate features such as sight glasses, lifting lugs, or heating coils directly into the FRP structure, minimizing the need for additional complex connections.
2. Optimized Performance through Material Selection
- Targeted Chemical Resistance: In custom products, the resin type (e.g., Vinyl Ester, Isophthalic, or Fire Retardant Resin) can be specifically chosen based on the precise temperature, concentration, and type of most aggressive chemicals to be handled.
- Specific Mechanical Loading: Wall thickness, number of layers (plies), and the orientation of the glass fiber reinforcement can be calculated and adjusted to meet the exact mechanical loads (pressure, vacuum, weight) of the custom application.
- Compliance with Industry Standards: Custom products can be built to adhere to specific industry codes and standards (such as ASME RTP-1 or ASTM) required by the client or regulatory bodies, ensuring safety and quality assurance.
3. Quality Assurance and Control
- Manufacturing Under Controlled Conditions (for Fabrication): While lining can be done on-site, the fabrication of custom components (like fittings or vessels) is performed in a controlled factory environment, ensuring optimal resin/fiber ratio consistency and curing process.
- Full Traceability of Materials: In custom projects, all raw materials from the resin batch number and fiber type to additives (accelerators/promoters) can be recorded and tracked, providing full transparency for quality assurance.
