Fiberglass elbow

Fiberglass elbow

Features of fiberglass pipe fittings:
1. It has excellent physical properties: the specific gravity of fiberglass pipes is 1.8-2.1, about 1/4 of steel, which is higher than the specific strength of steel, cast iron, and plastic. The weight of fiberglass pipes is generally not greater than 1/3 of steel pipes of the same specification, and the physical and mechanical properties are excellent.
2. It is resistant to chemical corrosion and has a long service life, suitable for conveying various media such as acids, alkalis, salts, and organic solvents.
3. Excellent hydraulics characteristics: hydraulic characteristics are one of the important characteristics of FRP pipes. Excellent hydraulic characteristics mean small fluid head loss, and smaller pipe diameters or power delivery pumps can be selected to reduce initial investment in pipeline engineering, save electricity, and reduce operating costs. The internal surface of FRP is quite smooth, and the general surface roughness can be taken as 0.008, which can almost be considered as hydraulics smooth pipe. During operation, the internal surface of steel pipes, Cast iron pipe, cement pipes, etc. often suffers local corrosion and becomes more and more rough, while FRP always maintains a smooth surface.
