Rubber pads are placed between the fiberglass reinforced plastic pipes and the supports/hangers
Thread Content
All the experts know that rubber pads should be placed between the supports and hangers for fiberglass-reinforced plastic pipes and carbon steel materials. I wonder why that is – what is the purpose of those rubber pads?
Rubber pads should be placed between the supports and hangers for fiberglass-reinforced plastic pipes and carbon steel materials. According to page 122 of \"Industrial Pipe Routing Design and Engineering Applications,\" rubber pads serve as a protective layer; they act as a cushion to prevent the steel supports from damaging the fiberglass pipes, while also increasing the friction between the supports and the fiberglass-reinforced plastic material.
