Continuous pipe winder in Gulfport, MS Fiberstrong ™ FRP Pipe are manufactured from a thermosetting polyester resin, continuous and chopped fiberglass reinforcement and may contain a pure silica sand filler. Future pipe's FRP pipe are filament wound using state of the art continuous filament winding equipment at its Gulfport, MS plant which is capable of producing pipe up to 158" in diameter in lengths of up to 50 ft. The standard buried pipe pressure classes range available is shown below: Pressure Range   <=100 psig 150 psig 200 psig 225 psig 350 psig   (<=6 bars) (10 bars)   (16 bars)   ND inch           14-96 102       108       158         Fiberstrong standard buried pipes are produced in 4 stiffness classes (18, 36, 46 and 72 psi) to allow the pipes to be installed safely in various native soils, trench widths, depths of cover and vacuum resistance, up to full vacuum and depths of cover of nearly 60 feet. The stiffness class range produced is shown below: [top] Pipe Stiffness (PS) Range   SN 18 psi SN 36 psi SN 46 psi SN 72 psi ND inch (2500 N/m2) (5000 N/m2) (6400 N/m2) (10000 N/m2) 14-132 144   150   158       Note : metric values are specific ring stiffness (E.I / D3) Fiberstrong FRP gravity sewer pipe are produced to ATSM D3262, while pressure pipes are produced to ASTM D3754, ASTM D3517 and AWWA C950 for water applications (NSF approved) (Pressure pipe with 72 psi stiffness are available for sizes up to 144"). [top] Fiberstrong standard underground pipe utilize a double bell coupling with two Reka' saw-toothed gaskets that insure water-tightness under all normal operating conditions. Double Bell coupling joint Fiberstrong FRP pipes find many uses in infrastructure projects such as : Potable water mains (NSF approved) Water transmission line (NSF approved) Gravity sewer collectors Gravity sewer trunk lines Sewer force mains Jacking & microtunneling Sewage treatment plant underground piping River & seawater intakes & outfalls Circulating & make-up water lines Irrigation main lines Outfall lines for R.O plants Large storm sewers Utility ducts,manhole liners and wet wells Slip lining sewer rehabilitation Slip lining pressure pipe rehabilitization Manhole bases & strucural shafts Fiberstrong pipe are available from 3 inch(80 mm) through 158 inch(4000mm) in 20 and 40 foot lengths (6 & 12 m). Pressure classes range from Gravity pipe through 250 psi pressure clases (17 bars). [top]
