Ducts, Piping and Butterfly Valves

Fibra S.A. produces a full line of piping fabricated with fiberglass reinforced plastic and also special piping with inner thermoplastic liner, which are made using the filament winding process according to Norms.

The piping fabricated with inner thermoplastic liner is manufactured using dual laminate technology, where the great abrasion and chemical resistance of the thermoplastic is utilized, acting as a chemical barrier, and the great mechanical strength of the FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) is utilized in its structural capacity.  The more commonly used liners for these applications are PVC, CPVC, Polyethilene, Polypropilene, PVDF and ECTFE.  This kind of piping is used when the liquid to be handled is highly corrosive in addition to high temperature plus some degree of aggressiveness.

The FRP piping is widely used in applications where the fluid to be handled is of low, medium or high degree of corrosiveness, the low resistance to abrasion being the main limitation. These pipes are manufactured, according to Norms, with high chemical resistance resins.   

FIBRA S.A. fabricates the entire system of ducts and valves for gases.  These are structured according to operational circumstances, mostly under vacuum conditions.

As with the piping, these ducts and valves are fabricated in FRP or using the dual laminate technology, where the great chemical and abrasion resistance of the thermoplastic is utilized, acting as a chemical barrier, and the mechanical strength of the FRP is used in a structural capacity.   The more commonly used liners for these applications are PVC, CPVC, Polyethilene, Polypropilene, PVDF and ECTFE.

Fibra S.A. carries outs the detail engineering and dimensioning  starting from the design drawings, delivering products and structural support requirements as necessary for an adequate installation process.
