Chemical-resistant filament-wound pipes are designed for use in industries where corrosion resistance and durability are critical. Here’s an overview of the product details for chemical-resistant filament-wound pipes:

Product Details

1. Material Composition:

   • Constructed from fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) with high-quality resin systems like vinyl ester, epoxy, or polyester.
   • These resins are specifically chosen for their chemical resistance, ensuring durability in harsh chemical environments.

2. Manufacturing Process:

   • Produced using filament winding, a process where continuous fiberglass filaments are wound over a mandrel in precise patterns.
   • This method creates a dense, layered structure with high strength-to-weight ratios, ideal for handling internal pressure.

3. Chemical Resistance:

   • Resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, solvents, and oxidizing agents.
   • Commonly used in environments with exposure to corrosive substances such as in wastewater treatment, petrochemical plants, and industrial chemical processing facilities.

4. Size and Dimensions:

   • Available in diameters ranging from 25mm (1 inch) to over 4000mm (160 inches) and can be manufactured to custom specifications.
   • Wall thickness can be customized according to pressure and chemical requirements, generally ranging from 3mm to 50mm or more.

5. Pressure and Temperature Ratings:

   • Typical pressure ratings range from 50 psi to 300 psi or higher, depending on the application.
   • Operating temperature range varies by resin type, generally suitable for -40°C to +120°C, with high-temperature resins available for up to +180°C.

6. Applications:

   • Ideal for industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, water and wastewater treatment, desalination plants, and food processing.
   • Common applications include transport and storage of corrosive chemicals, effluent water systems, and abrasive slurries.

7. Joining Methods:

   • Can be connected with flanges, threaded joints, or mechanical couplings.
   • Flanged connections are often preferred for chemical applications due to enhanced sealing capability.

8. Additional Features:

   • UV-resistant coatings are often added for outdoor installations.
   • Can be lined with additional protective materials, such as thermoplastic liners, for enhanced protection in highly corrosive environments.

Advantages

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Long-lasting even in aggressive chemical environments.
• High Strength and Durability: Filament winding creates a robust structure that withstands high pressures.
• Lightweight and Easy to Install: Easier handling compared to steel or metal pipes of the same size and strength.
• Low Maintenance: Resistant to rust and scaling, resulting in lower operational costs over time.
