FibaShield

General Description

A fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) applied to a rotating pipe by machine. The system is applied either to produce coated pipes and/or pre-insulated pipes.

Dimensions

2" - 40" pipe diameter
6 - 12m long.

Key features

•  system specifically developed to resist mechanical abuse during handling
   between workshop and site
•  insulation and/or coating done at ground level in controlled working conditions
•  minimises labour working on site - often at a height and in exposed climates
•  minimises associated labour subsistence costs such as accommodation
•  minimises scaffolding requirements
•  minimises on-site build time and allows more efficient project critical path
•  benefits applicable to both new build and turnarounds
•  available in three main grades: FibaShield FR, FibaShield ISO and FibaShield
   VECR

FibaShield FR

This grade is used mostly in conjunction with insulating materials to deliver pre-insulated pipes. The pre-insulated pipes are a combination of a tough closed cell PIR insulation with a 2mm thick FRP coating. Optionally, vapour zero perm. polyester/aluminium/ polyester (PAP) films can be applied.

Allowable operating temperatures range from -190°C to +120°C. This covers the key temperature ranges for heat gain and Corrosion under Insulation.

FibaShield ISO and VECR

These grades are used, in conjunction with primers, as corrosion prevention systems which are extremely resistant to mechanical abuse.

Operating temperatures are from -40°C to 80/140°C for the ISO and VECR grades respectively.
