Hi Emmanuel,

FRP pipes are avaliable as standard manufactured items and are used for hydrocarbon service.British Standard BS 7159 can be used for design of these products. If you have a particular hydrocarbon in mind I am sure the manufacturer can modify the inside gel coat to suit the application. If you want true glass there are galss lined steel products available from Vitco, Duker and Pfaudler.

Hello everybody,<BR>
<BR>

Please I am faced with this very interesting question from a friend.<BR>
<BR>

&quot;What are the chemical and physical characteristics of &quot;Glass Pipes&quot; and<BR>
could they be used for petroleum products (Liquid Fuels) transfer?&quot;<BR>
<BR>

I had told him that I am sure that fiber glass materials (glass pipes<BR> inclusive), do not gain moisture hence, they do not rot. Also, they do not<BR> react as much like metals do to temperature.<BR>
<BR>

Please I need more input here. Any help somewhere ?!<BR>
<BR>

Best Regards,<BR>
<BR>
