FRP PIPE
Fiberglass pipes are lightweight and economical pipes that can replace steel, iron, and concrete pipes.The core advantages of FRP continuously wound pipe lie in its high strength, high rigidity, excellent corrosion resistance, superior hydraulic performance, superior leak resistance, and the economic and length advantages afforded by continuous production. It seamlessly integrates materials science with advanced manufacturing processes, offering a high-performance, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly modern engineering piping solution, particularly suited for long-distance, high-flow, and corrosive transport.

Products Description
Filament wound fiberglass pipe is a composite pipe manufactured using a continuous winding process. It uses a resin matrix and glass fiber as reinforcement. Some types Continuously Wound Pipe incorporate quartz sand as a sand layer to increase rigidity.The Continuously Wound Pipe is manufactured using a process called filament winding, where continuous fiberglass filaments are wound around a mandrel in a specific pattern to create the desired shape and thickness.
Technical characteristics and process principles
Continuous Winding Process:
Core Process: A spiral-shaped mandrel drives a steel belt to form a continuously moving inner core mold. Fiber winding, resin impregnation, sand inclusion (optional), and curing are simultaneously completed on the core mold, ensuring uninterrupted production.
Compared to traditional processes: Compared with fixed-length winding (segmented production), continuous winding is more efficient (taking DN1000 pipe as an example, the single-line production capacity is ≈ 5 fixed-length winding lines), and the pipe length can be customized, reducing the number of interfaces and the risk of leakage.
Multi-layer composite wall structure:
01
Inner lining
Resin-rich layer (resin content ≥ 90%), for corrosion and leakage resistance;
02
Structural layer:
Continuous fiber circumferential winding provides strength, while a sand layer (quartz sand + resin) enhances rigidity;
03
Outer protective layer
UV and environmental corrosion resistance.

Key parameters
Sand content, winding angle (usually ±55°), and fiber volume fraction (25% is the optimal range for anti-seepage) directly impact pipeline rigidity (SN1250SN10000 grades) and pressure resistance (0.1-2.5 MPa).
Core Performance Advantages:
| Feature | Specific Manifestations | Applied Value |
| Lightweight and High-Strength | Weighing only one-quarter the weight of steel pipe, it's far stronger than cement pipe, making it easy to transport and install. | Reducing lifting costs and shortening construction time. |
| Corrosion-resistant | Resistant to acid, alkali, salt spray, and seawater chloride ions, with a service life of ≥50 years. | Replaces metal pipes, reducing maintenance costs. |
| Excellent hydraulic performance | The smooth inner wall (roughness coefficient 0.0084) minimizes flow loss, allowing the pipe diameter to be reduced by 10%-25% for the same flow rate. | Energy-saving long-distance water transportation and reduced pumping consumption. |
| Deformation resistance | Excellent circumferential flexural performance allows it to withstand high deformation without cracking and adapts to foundation settlement. | Highly safe for installation in seismic zones and soft soil areas. |
Cost-Effective: Fiber wound epoxy pipelines are generally more affordable than traditional metal pipes.
Long Service Life: FRP Pipes offer decades of reliable performance with minimal maintenance.
Low Installation Costs: Lightweight and easy to handle, FRP pipes reduce labor and installation expenses.
Easy to Repair: Field repairs are simple, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
Overall, Continuously Wound Pipes combine excellent corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength, and low maintenance requirements, making them an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial applications.
