FAQS on fiber pipe

Q: What are the common applications of fiber pipes?

A: Fiber pipes are widely used in water supply systems, chemical transportation, and sewage management due to their corrosion resistance, lightweight design, and durability under high-pressure conditions.

Q: How do fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) tanks compare to traditional metal tanks?

A: FRP tanks offer superior corrosion resistance, lower maintenance costs, and a longer lifespan compared to metal tanks. They are also lighter, making installation and transportation easier.

Q: Are glass fiber tanks suitable for storing corrosive chemicals?

A: Yes, glass fiber tanks are ideal for storing corrosive chemicals because their non-reactive resin layers and reinforced fiber structure prevent degradation and leaks in harsh environments.

Q: What maintenance is required for fiber pipes and tanks?

A: Fiber pipes and tanks require minimal maintenance. Regular visual inspections for surface damage and occasional cleaning to remove debris are typically sufficient to ensure optimal performance.

Q: Can fiber reinforced plastic tanks withstand extreme temperatures?

A: FRP tanks can handle temperatures ranging from -40°F to 250°F (-40°C to 121°C), depending on the resin used. Custom formulations are available for specialized high-temperature applications.
