Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) piping sys- tems provide excellent corrosion resistance, combined with high temperature and pressure capabilities, all at a relatively low installed cost. Smith Fibercast engineers, using epoxy, vinyl ester, and polyester resins, have developed a compre- hensive array of piping systems designed to meet the most de- manding application requirements. Piping systems are avail- able with liners of varying type and thickness, with molded, fabricated, or filament wound fittings, ranging in size from 1" to 84"(25 to 2134 mm) in diameter. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Fiberglass piping is used in most industries requiring corro- sion resistant pipe. FRP piping is used in vent and liquid ap- plications that operate from -70°F to 300°F (-57°C to 149°C). Smith Fibercast piping systems use high grade resins that are resistant to acids, caustics or solvents. Abrasion resistant ma- terials can be used in the piping inner surface liner to en- hance wear resistance to slurries. Table 1.0 is a brief list of the many applications and industries where fiberglass piping has been used successfully. See Smith Fibercast Bulletin No. E5615 for a complete chemical resistance guide. Smith Fibercast piping systems can be installed in accordance with the ASME B 31.3 piping code. Second party listings from regulatory authorities such as Factory Mutual, NSF, UL/ULC, and marine registrars are in place on several of these piping systems.

FLOW PROPERTIES The smooth interior surface of fiberglass pipe, combined with inside diameters larger than steel or thermoplastic pipe of the same nominal diameter, yield significant flow advantages. This section provides design techniques for exploiting the flow capacity of fiberglass pipe. PRELIMINARY PIPE SIZING The determination of the pipe size required to transport a given amount of fluid is the first step in designing a piping system. Minimum recommended pipe diameters.
