The better way to manage your FRP assets
Like any assets, your fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) pipes, tanks, scrubbers and ducts should be inspected regularly for structural integrity — and the more accurate a picture that inspection gives you, the better. Miss a defect, and you risk a leak or blow-out....
Non-Destructive Condition Assessment of Fiberglass Reinforced Structures
ABSTRACT Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) is used in wastewater processing for tanks, scrubbers, piping, ducting and other equipment. FRP often provides better corrosion resistance at lower cost than stainless steel. For some applications, regulators require...
