What you'll learn
Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) piping, also called Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) piping, is a cost-effective alternative to corrosion prone metallic piping and non-reinforced thermoplastics. However, the design of FRP systems requires specific knowledge as there are fundamental differences in material properties compared to the design of steel piping.
In this on-demand course participants will learn in detail about:
FRP Materials and Material specifications,
manufacturing methods of FRP,
applications of FRP, and the key differences between FRP and steel,
the bi-axial strength properties of FRP,
how the long-term properties differ from the short-term FRP properties,
how long-term regression tests are used to define the material strength.
