The characteristics of fiberglass anti-corrosion are as follows:
01 Excellent impact resistance:
The strength of fiberglass is higher than that of steel pipe ductile iron and concrete, with a specific strength of about 3 times that of steel, 10 times that of ductile iron, and 25 times that of concrete; The weight of the falling hammer is 1.5kg, and it is not damaged at an impact height of 1600mm.
02 Chemical corrosion resistance:
Through reasonable selection of raw materials and scientific thickness design, fiberglass anti-corrosion can be used for a long time in acidic, alkaline, salt, and organic solvent environments, and has good chemical stability. Especially, the corrosion of water on fiberglass is almost zero, and its corrosion resistance is good. It is not necessary to use strict internal and external coatings or cathodic protection like metal material pipelines, and there is basically no need for protection during the service life.
03 Good insulation performance:
Due to the fact that fiberglass products are composed of polymer materials and reinforcing materials, they have the characteristic of low thermal conductivity;, Only 1/100 to 1/1000 of metal is an excellent insulation material, which can ensure the constant temperature operation of water in summer and prevent the growth of microorganisms.
04 Low coefficient of thermal expansion:
Due to the small coefficient of thermal expansion of fiberglass (2.0 × 10-5/℃), it can better adhere to the base layer.
05 Lightweight and high-strength, easy to install:
The specific gravity is only 2/3 of concrete; So compared to others, the overall weight is light. Therefore, loading and unloading are convenient and easy to install.
06 Excellent construction technology performance:
Before curing, fiberglass can be easily processed into the desired shape using different molding methods due to the fluidity of the resin; This feature is most suitable for the construction requirements of large, integral, and structurally complex equipment, and can be carried out on-site according to environmental conditions.
07 Excellent hydraulic characteristics:
Fiberglass reinforced plastic has a smooth inner surface and a low water flow friction coefficient. The roughness coefficient of fiberglass pipes is only 0.0053~0.0084, while that of concrete pipes is 0.013~0.014, with a difference of 55%~164%. Under comparable flow rates and the same available hydraulic conditions, the pipe diameter can be reduced, thereby saving investment. Under conditions of equivalent flow rate and the same pipe diameter, pump power and energy can be saved by more than 20%, head can be saved, and operating energy consumption can be reduced.
08 Excellent physical performance:
Good adhesion, no cracking, no scaling, water quality will not be contaminated or oxidized by microorganisms in the water, no secondary pollution will occur, and can ensure permanent water delivery and water quality cleanliness remain unchanged.
