• Accommodates small changes in line direction without fittings or differential settlement

Flexible manufacturing

•Custom diameters can be process manufactured to provide maximum flow volumes with ease of installation for rehabilitation

lining projects

High technology pipe design

•Lower wave celerity than other piping materials can mean less cost when designing for surge and water hammer pressures

High technology pipe manufacturing system producing pipe that complies to stringent performance standards (AWWA, ASTM, DIN, EN, etc.)

•High and consistent product quality worldwide which ensures reliable product performance

Control Testing of GRP FRP Flange Adaptor sea water pipe series

Raw Materials

Raw materials are delivered with vendor certification demonstrating their compliance with Zhongfu Lianzhong quality requirements. In addition, all raw materials are sample tested prior to their use. These tests ensure that the pipe materials comply with the specifications as stated

Physical Properties

The manufactured pipe’s hoop and axial load capacities are verified on a routine basis. In addition, pipe construction and composition are confirmed.

Finished Pipe

All pipes are subjected to the following control checks:

• Visual inspection

• Barcol hardness

• Wall thickness

• Section length

• Diameter

• Hydrostatic leak tightness test to 1.5 rated pressure (only PN6 and above)

On a sampling basis, the following control checks are performed:

• Pipe stiffness

• Deflection without damage or structural failure

• Axial and circumferential tensile load capacity

Unloading，Handling，Transportation and Storage of GRP pipe sea water pipe series

Unloading and Handling Pipes

Unloading the pipe is the responsibility of the customer. Be sure to maintain control of the pipe during unloading. Guide ropes attached to pipes or packages will enable easy manual control when lifting and handling. Do not drop, impact, or bump the pipe, particularly at pipe ends.

If at any time during handling or installation of the pipe, any damage such as a gouge, crack or facture occurs, the pipe should be repaired before the section is installed.

Transporting Pipes

Strap pipe to the vehicle over the support points using pliable straps or rope. Never use steel cables or chains without adequate padding to protect the pipe from abrasion. Bulges, flat areas or other abrupt changes of curvature are not permitted. Transport of pipes outside of these limitations may result in damage to the pipes.

Site Pipe Storage

It is generally advantageous to store pipe on flat timber to facilitate placement and removal of lifting slings

around the pipe.

When storing pipe directly on the ground, be sure that the area is relatively flat and free of rocks and other

potentially damaging debris. Placing the pipe on mounds of backfill material has been found to be an effective

way of site storing the pipe. All pipes should be chocked to prevent rolling in high winds.
