Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) has properties that, if disregarded, can lead to failure during operation. The same properties, if taken advantage of, can provide the user with performance superior to traditional alloy materials. This paper discusses principles in designing process and facilities piping systems with FRP.
One of the obstacles that FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) sometimes has to overcome is proper design of the materials. FRP has unique properties that, if disregarded, can lead to failure during operation. However, when these same unique properties are taken advantage of, they can provide the user with a system superior to traditional alloy materials. This paper discusses some of the basic principles in designing process and facilities piping systems with FRP. ISO14692, published in 2002 and currently undergoing a revision, provides unique guidelines on various design issues that may be beneficial to a piping designer working with FRP. Key words: FRP, GRP, design envelope
