Introduction

Fiberglass reinforced composite pipe is a very important material in today's engineering field. Lightweight, lightweight, and easy to process composite pipe, it has been widely used around the world. focus of attention.

Current Situation Analysis

Glass fiber reinforced composite pipelines have already been widely used in the current engineering field, and their technical characteristics and industry development status are worth exploring in depth.


  • Existing applications and technical characteristics

This type of pipe is made of glass fiber and resin composite, has extremely high strength and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for use in various adverse environments.

In the petroleum industry, glass fiber reinforced composite pipelines are widely used to transport crude oil, natural gas and chemical products, and their corrosion resistance and high pressure characteristics make them one of the first choice materials for pipeline engineering.

In the chemical industry, this type of pipe is also used to transport various corrosive media, such as acid, alkali, etc., and its corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance properties have been fully developed.

In addition, in the fields of water engineering and aviation aerospace, fiberglass reinforced composite pipelines have also been widely used.


  • Development status and trend

With the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous development of engineering technology, the field of application of glass fiber reinforced composite pipes is constantly expanding, and the market demand is also constantly increasing. On a global scale, the development of this industry presents a state of steady growth. With the rise of the emerging economy and the acceleration of the industrialization process, the demand for high-performance pipe materials continues to increase.

In addition, with the improvement of environmental protection awareness and the deepening of the concept of sustainable development, the demand for environmentally friendly pipe materials is also increasing, and glass fiber reinforced composite pipes have great development potential under this trend. , the glass fiber reinforced composite pipeline industry will welcome a wider development space, the technical level and market competitiveness will also continue to improve.

Fiberglass composite material

The manufacture of glass fiber reinforced composite pipes is not open to the application of glass fiber composite materials. These composite materials include fiberglass chopped strand mat, fiberglass roving, and fiberglass woven roving. It plays an important role.


  • Fiberglass chopped strand mat

Fiberglass chopped strand mat is a kind of fiber mat material made from glass fiber. It has the following advantages:

Good moldability: The glass fiber layer has good moldability, and can be fully impregnated and combined with the resin, making the surface of the product even.

Enhanced strength: In composite material pipeline manufacturing, the glass fiber cut layer can enhance the strength and durability of the pipeline, and improve the service life of the pipeline.

Low cost: The fiberglass mat layer is relatively cheap, it can reduce the manufacturing cost, and improve the competitiveness of the pipeline.

In practical application, the glass fiber cut and broken layer is often used to make the inner layer of the composite material pipe, which increases the thickness and strength of the pipe wall.

  • Fiberglass roving

Fiberglass roving is made of long-strip material. It has the following characteristics:

High strength: Glass fiber twist cord has high strength, can enhance the tensile strength and impact resistance of the composite pipe.

Excellent corrosion resistance: Glass fiber thread has good corrosion resistance, can resist the corrosion of chemical medium, so that the pipeline can run stably in a bad environment for a long time.

Easy to mold: The glass fiber twist line has good moldability, can be fully combined with resin, and produces smooth and good surface quality pipes.

In practical application, glass fiber roving is usually used to make the middle layer of the composite material pipe, it has the effect of enhancing the pipe strength and corrosion resistance.


  • Fiberglass woven roving

Fiberglass woven roving is a mesh material made of woven glass fibers. It has the following characteristics:

Uniform distribution: Fiberglass braided mesh has uniform fiber distribution, which can ensure the strength and stability of composite pipes.

Good air permeability: Fiberglass woven mesh has good air permeability, which can ensure ventilation and drainage inside the pipe and prevent moisture and corrosion inside the pipe.

Easy to construct: Fiberglass woven mesh has good plasticity and processability, can adapt to various complex pipe shapes, and is easy to construct and install.

In practical applications, fiberglass braided mesh is usually used to make the outer layer of composite pipes to enhance the overall structure and weather resistance of the pipe.


The above three types of glass fiber composite materials play an important role in the manufacture of glass fiber reinforced composite pipes, each of which has unique advantages and functions, and plays an irreplaceable role in improving pipe performance and extending service life.

Future direction

As a key engineering material, the future development direction of glass fiber reinforced composite pipes will be affected by technological innovation, environmental friendliness, intelligence and digitalization.
