Liner |
Liner
or chemically resistant layer
is the internal layer of the pipe.
It is in direct contact with the
conveyed fluid. This layer has
the function to guarantee the
resistance to the chemical corrosion
and the impermeability to the
pipe. The liner is made of two
monolithic sub layers. The inner
one, in direct contact with the
fluid, is reinforced with glass
veil, with a resin content of
90% and the outer one is reinforced
with CSM glass, with a resin content
of 70%by weight. The standard
liner thickness is about 0.5 to
1.2 mm, higher thickness can be
produced on request or as per
design requirement. |

| Structure
Wall |
Glass
reinforced layers guarantee the
mechanical resistance of the whole
pipe against stresses due to internal
and external pressure, external
loads and thermal loads. For GRP
pipes, this layer is obtained
by applying on the previous partly
cured liner, continuous roving
of glass wetted with resin, under
controlled tensioning. For GRE
pipes, the structural wall is
wound directly on a wet liner.
This layer can contain aggregates
like silica sand in order to increase
the stiffness of the whole pipe.
Thickness of the mechanical resistant
layer depends on the design condition. |

| External
Liner |
Top
coat or external liner is the
outer layer of the pipe which
consists of pure resin added with
UV protectors to protect the pipe
from sun exposure. In case of
severe exposure condition like
aggressive soils or very corrosive
environment, the external liner
can be reinforced with a surfacing
veil or added with fillers or
pigments. |
