Contact us to discuss your requirements of FRP Ventilation Pipe. Our experienced sales team can help you identify the options that best suit your needs.

This process vessel has an inside diameter of 48&#; and measures 60&#; tangent to tangent. The overall height of this vessel is 81&#;, and measures 120&#; including the legs. It is fabricated from 1/2&#; 516-70 carbon steel material. This vessel is designed and fabricated according to ASME Section VIII Div 1 codes. It has a capacity of 500 gallons with an internal design pressure of 50 PSIG. The maximum acceptable working pressure is 178 PSIG. This process vessel was heat treated for stress corrosion resistance in the field and 100% x-ray tested and hydro-tested at 231 PSIG prior to being shipped to the customer. This vessel was designed for the customer as a replacement vessel for one in the field that had already provided 20 years of service in a mildly corrosive environment.

Sweco Fab, Inc. worked with the customer to provide a vessel that was even more efficient than the previous one by including 1/8&#; thicker walls, an additional 12&#; between tangents, heat treatment, an internal drip plate, and an OSHA compliant ladder and platform.

In our previous article, we looked at basic principles for designing and fabricating supports for an FRP piping system. In this, our final article in the series, we are going to take a look at installation of FRP piping systems.

While installation might not typically be considered as part of the pipe system design, it is such an important part of a successful system that we believe it needs to be emphasized here. Without doubt, more issues arise in FRP piping systems due to improper installation than due to any other single cause. There are a number of steps that must be followed to provide assurance that problems won&#;t arise later, and also to comply with the requirements of ASME NM.21.
