Issues regarding the expansion settings for fiberglass reinforced plastic pipes
Thread Content
Is it necessary to install expansion joints or expansion bends for the long-distance transportation of fiberglass-reinforced plastic pipes? How are the corresponding specifications described? It would be best to attach the relevant reference documents.
Temporary restraining devices have been installed on the expansion joints of the pipeline. After the test is completed, the blind flanges and expansion joint restraint devices should be removed promptly, and any accumulated liquid should be drained
Is there anyone familiar with this field who can help answer it?
I’ll check the relevant standards to find out what the distance is
Those who have received stress training should preferably leave the analysis and calculations to fiberglass pipe manufacturers, as they are more professional; the longer the pipe, the greater the manufacturers’ interest.
Fiberglass reinforced plastic pipes generally use O-RING COUPLINGS, with A*AL STOP SUPPORTs installed at both ends of the couplings.
If the temperature is high and thermal displacement is large, it is necessary to absorb the thermal deformation.
